Emma Waine of Glasgow Westend says:
"After failing my test twice with two previous instructors I was a nervous wreck and hated driving! A friend recommended the Really Good Driving School to me. I felt Andy worked very hard to adopt a style of teaching that really worked for me and to get to the root of what I found difficult about driving and my lessons were always conducted in a friendly, patient and professional manner." |
| Before the test I went out for a "mock test"with Andy’s colleague. This also really helped as she looked at my driving with ‘fresh eyes’ allowing me to tweak any little mistakes and also get me used to driving with someone I didn’t know in preparation for driving with an examiner. To my delight I passed without any faults – something I thought I would never be able to achieve! Thank you Andy and I would whole heartedly recommend the Really Good Driving School to anyone." |

Claire Donaghey of Dowanhill,Westend says:
I have loved learning to drive with Andy. He is such a great teacher but he's also great fun too. He is really good at noticing what you find difficult and manages to increase your confidence through his patience and clear explanations. Andy is such great company too, and although I was delighted to have passed, I felt a pang of sadnedss as I'd not be seing Andy for my weekly lesson. I honestly can't sing Really Good Driving School's praises highly enough - they're brilliant and Andy, you're the best! |

Sales Director Jenny wallace, who hit her target says:
"I've never really been that interested in learning to drive, but as i approached my 30's i thought it was time to bite the bullet. I had heard some horror stories from friends on their bad experiences with driving instructors: happily it was the exact opposite for me learning with Andy and the "Really Good Driving School.
I really valued Andy's patience ( even after my 100th attempt to master roundabouts!) and it was a great feeling when i got the thumbs up from examiner Keith at Anniesland.
The difference with Andy is that he doesn't just want you to pass, he wants you to be a great driver. Hopefully, i wont let him down!

Summerston girl Maxine McGarry has every reason to smile:
Nothing beats the feeling of passing a driving test! I could not have done it without the hard work, determination and patience shown by Andy Jack. Undoubtedly, he is the best instructor i have ever had - and there was a few! Examiner Cliff at Anniesland was great too. |

Another pass for the Bearsden Academy boys as Waqar Younas stands triumphant:
I had surfed the net for a driving school and noticed some of my old school pals pictures on the "Really Good" website. I knew the passes were genuine and there were no "stock" photo's of models holding car keys, so i had found the "Real Deal." I was nervous before the test but my instructor filled me with belief. Believe me, "Really Good" doesn't describe the feelng of passing, "Absolutely terrific" comes closer! |

Kavitha John, who is one of our many pupils who has come from Kerala, India, passes 1st. time and says:
My life achievement! I had two instructors previously, but "Really Good" came highly recommended. Where i could not master the Reverse Left exercise in the past with previous instructors, Andy broke it down into component parts and worked extremely hard to get me competent with it. I can assure anyone, "Really Good" are the best!

After hearing my friend Gary passed first time with "Really Good," i decided to take on the road. First step was to get in touch with Andy.

This is one of the best days of my life and it is just great to think i can drive! Andy was very careful to explain everything clearly, he was always punctual and I really could not have wished for a better instructor.
