Testimonials

Courtney Calder
I met Derrek a few days before my driving test after my instructor recommended him, as he knew the area where I’d be taking it. Even with just two lessons, I gained invaluable insights—not only into improving my driving but also into the specific test routes I might encounter. Derrek’s teaching is thorough, and he explains everything clearly. He tailored each lesson to focus on exactly what I needed to improve, making me feel confident and fully prepared. Despite only knowing him for a short time and having few lessons in the test area, he went above and beyond to ensure I was ready. I’m certain I passed on my first attempt thanks to his guidance and extra effort.

Derek is a very patient and reliable driving instructor. Without his encouragement and support I would not have been able to pass my test in Haddington. He gave me the confidence to become a safe and comfortable driver. I could not recommend Derek more!!

Derek is kind, encouraging, and friendly. I took driving lessons with Derek in early 2024. Derek took me on different test routes and I had the chance to practice different skills on my lessons. His instructions are comprehensive and he gives you the confidence to push yourself. I learned a lot from Derek and would definitely recommend him as an instructor!

Derek is absolutely the best driving instructor I ever met. When I relocated to Scotland I needed to prepare for driving on the left hand side. My colleague recommended me contacting Derek. We had one lesson (approx. 2hrs) which gave me confidence to start driving my own car the next day! Derek is an extremely patient and calm trainer. He explains everything clearly and gives you very useful pieces of advice. I have been actively driving for 3 years in EU and I have learned from Derek couple of things on safe driving that I never heard before. Now, I feel a better driver - no matter if the wheel is on the left of right hand side.
