Report
Great driving school. My instructor Gerry Brennan was always pleasant, polite, calm, approachable and very accommodating. Local Glasgow driving school Gerry Brennan School of Motoring offers manual and automatic driving lessons in Glasgow, West End, Anniesland, Clydebank, Bearsden, Milngavie, Maryhill, Summerston, Knightswood, Drumchapel, Partick and Springburn.
Learning to drive is an important decision that most people take at some stage in their life. Here at Gerry Brennan School of Motoring in Glasgow driving lessons are tailored to meet your individual needs, with all the online help through videos and free theory tests, learning to drive whether its manual or automatic will become both a rewarding and fun experience. When you meet your driving instructor, on the first lesson, your licence will need to be produced and your eyesight will be checked.
Pupils are required to answer two questions from a series of simple " show me tell me " questions on vehicle safety. One "Tell me" question will be asked at the start of the test and the "Show me" question will be asked as you drive. If it is near the Low level, top up as needed. Use a good quality oil, and make sure you do not mix diesel oil with oil for a petrol engine.
The UK practical driving test is designed to see if you can drive safely in changeable road and traffic conditions. You should be able to adapt to changing weather conditions and demonstrate your knowledge of the Highway Code by reading road signs and markings correctly and navigating for yourself unaided on the independent part of the test.
Not only does Gerry teach you all the necessary skills to pass your driving test but he also injects confidence. I couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor. Gerry broke every single thing down and made things so much easier to understand, after the first lesson I already felt so much more confident on the road.

I'm an older driver so had concerns about how I would pick things up and how patient the instructor might be with me if I was a bit slower than a 17 year old. However even after the first lesson with Johnny I was completely put at ease and felt so much more confident. He was extremely encouraging and positive and I felt he tailored his teaching methods to suit my learning style. I passed my test first time, which I would never have though possible, thanks to his personable nature and style of teaching which really bolstered m confidence

I passed first time after taking lessons with Johnny. Johnny was always patient, understanding, and built my confidence with each lesson. He was also very good at accommodating lessons around my work schedule. His expert knowledge was invaluable to my learning. I had a few lessons with a different instructor years ago and never looked forward to lessons but this time around I found myself looking forward to lessons. Overall great instructor and would highly recommend, 10/10.

I learned to drive in the US but my driving skills were quite rusty after living in Glasgow for many years. I was super nervous about learning to drive in the U.K. and put off learning for so long. I finally took the plunge August 2020 and booked lessons with Johnny. Johnny's approach is relaxed, supportive and encouraging whilst still making sure your driving is to the right standard.
His approach really boosted my confidence and I found myself looking forward to our lessons each week. My test was cancelled in December 2020 due to lockdown and I had to reschedule it for early May 2021. This left little time for me to refresh my skills before my test once restrictions lifted. Johnny made sure he was available for lessons and took me on a number of common test routes so that I was ready for my test - which I passed first time! Johnny is a truly excellent instructor and the time spent learning with him was a worthwhile investment. I would confidently recommend him to anyone who is looking to be a confident and skilled driver on U.K. roads.

As learner driver in my mid-40s, I decided to give it once last shot at attempting to learn, having had loads of bad experiences with other driving schools over the years. All that changed when I started with John at E-Driving. Absolutely brilliant tuition resulting in a first time pass! John is good humoured, great chat and is a brilliant instructor. Highly recommended without a doubt.

Gerry has a calm manner and is a very knowledge teacher. As a parent, I could see progress every lesson and was reassured that he was gaining confidence. I was very happy Gerry took my son for lessons despite being very booked up! I would not hesitate to recommend him and I wouldn’t want anyone else to teach my daughter!

Failed my test a couple of times a few years back and had lost all confidence but driving with Gerry gave me it back and I passed first time with him! He is a great teacher, very calm and clear and I would highly recommend him to anyone! I feel confident I can drive now and can't wait to get out in my car!A great choice for anyone but especially if you are looking to start again after a break, he'll help you get back into driving and pass!
