Massive thanks to Ron, just passed my test first try and with zero faults! I would absolutely recommend Ron to anyone looking to sit their driving test in Wicklow. Having had other instructors in the past I found Ron to be best of the bunch! The lessons were test focussed and very informative. And on top of that, having such good company in the car made it all the more enjoyable! The videos and links were a great help in preparation as well. And the few lessons we had to do in Ron's car were never any issue. Got the email that my test would be in about 3 weeks and Ron was great to accommodate doing pre tests beforehand on such short notice, which I'm very grateful for! They were a massive help in getting my to pass the test, highlighting my specific faults, and route specific details etc! Just got the fancy new pink liscence in the post today! Thanks so much Ron couldn't have done it without you 🙏 ~ Cuan O
I cannot believe I’m writing this- Trust me, No one thought I’d pass! BUT I just passed my driving test today and I couldn’t have done it without Ron he is amazing, I am forever grateful! From the very first lesson, Ron was patient, encouraging, and always made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. He actually wanted me to succeed. He explained and broke down everything so clearly and gave me the confidence to handle every situation on the road. His calm teaching style made such a difference — This is sometimes so rare when finding driving instructors. I never felt rushed or judged, just supported and motivated to improve each lesson. Ron was never critical just constructive, so by the time I went into my test I was feeling fully prepared and confident, and I’m so proud to say I passed! I’d recommend him to absolutely anyone learning to drive — genuinely one of the best instructors out there. 🚗💨 ~ leah m
I got my test date last minute and was not prepared therefore I booked in a pretest with Ronald, He was so patient and very understanding. He thought me knowledge that previous instructors hadn’t thought me and really gave me the confidence I needed for my test. He was very good at explaining all the manoeuvres and teaching me how to be ready for my test. He comes prepared with a book explaining all the things you need to know for your test. The following day I did my test and passed with flying colours. Thanks to Ronald’s as I wouldn’t have been able to pass my test without him !!! I definitely recommend! ~ jack m
