I had few lessons right before my driving test, and it honestly made a big difference. My instructor was calm, composed , and super clear in explaining everything — from key points to helpful little tricks. Their support really boosted my confidence just when I needed it most. I’m so grateful and would recommend anyone getting ready for their test soon. Molly Jenkinson2025-07-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Best driving Instructor in Killarney!!
If you are looking to pass your test first time, then I would say look no further, as long as you listen to Brendan’s advice you will be a better driver and pass first time. Brendan is patient and observant. I was only driving 3 months on the road and passed no bother, thanks to Brendan! I could not be more grateful for all the help he gave me and I would defiantly recommend him to a friend.
