I had v bad experience . Although i didn’t pass from here but the instructor forced me to gave good review. V unprofessional and unfriendly behaviour. He was saying you need to get 5 to 6 more lessons but i passed the test in next attempt from another school.
Dont want to mention the name of that instructor but he is very unprofessional and poor in his skills

Mr Shoaib Gul is an excellent driving instructor, consistently demonstrating patience, clear explanations, and a positive attitude that made learning to drive feel comfortable and manageable. He tailored lessons to my specific needs, focusing on areas where I needed improvement, and helped me build confidence behind the wheel, ultimately leading to a successful test pass. However if anyone can’t able to speak english he helps some different languages as well for example Punjabi and Urdu..I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor for better driving..

Thanks to I Passing Smiles Driving School for all the support provided, I was able to pass my driving test in Baillieston. Beyond passing the test, the most important thing was truly learning how to drive safely for myself and my family.

Special thanks to my instructors, Danyaa and Raja, for the best driving tips I’ve ever received. With their help and guidance, I gained the confidence needed to pass my driving test.

I highly recommend them to anyone reading this message. 10/10.

I recently passed with Umer Sheikh, I had two previous instructors prior to him which I had quite negative experiences with and never seemed to be getting anywhere. But Umer boosted my confidence highly, kept good communication and made me feel more relaxed behind the wheel. Couldn’t recommend IPS enough!
Thank you very much to Raja and IPS for helping me pass my test first time. Raja is an excellent instructor who was great at explaining everything to me and helping me to learn around a busy schedule. A great teacher and very knowledgeable about the local area. Thank you

Suddenly, my daughter wasn't able to get in contact with the driving instructor. She tried to book another session and got no response for weeks. She tried to contact the driving school itself a couple of times to find out what's happening and there was only an answering machine.

The number you posted 0300 2004 576 is invalid (BTW this was a typo on your end)

Last update :
My daughter tried to contact her instructor a couple of times and then the office, but the answering machine was on. Then I tried to contact you and I got through.
It's not true that the lessons are a couple of months ago either, her last lesson was in October and since then my daughter tried to contact the driving instructor and driving school.
You wanted to look into the issue why the instructor is not contacting my daughter anymore, and you wanted to call me back.
You didn't call back, instead you sent my daughter a text message, that the number is wrong and you couldn't find the name either and her mum should remove the review.
So I started to be very worried that here is a fraud happening and god knows who my daughter had driving lessons with, as you couldn't find the instructor.
After our phone call, by the way, the instructor removed her from WhatsApp and all conversation was gone!!
So even more worried.
But we have bank account details and so I tried to contact you again to find out what's happening. Now the answering machine also turned on when I tried to call!
My husband called you today and indeed the bank details are from your company and you also knew the instructor! And then phone call got disconnected.....
Luckily no fraud happening here as you know the instructor and we also know that we paid to your company.
However we still don't understand why the instructor didn't come back, and why you try to make it hard to get in touch with you, and why you have no answers.
Very mysterious.....

Ahmar taught my daughter having had a bad experience with a previous instructor. She said he was a patient and understanding instructor who made her feel very comfortable and was never intimidating. He is flexible and would accommodate lessons for her at short notice. Ahmar had a genuine interest in seeing my daughter pass and would always communicate with myself to keep me updated on her progress. I would highly recommend Ahmar and will
use him for my other 2 children when the time comes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟

I recently passed my driving test, and I owe a huge thanks to Mohammad Umer F Sheikh From day one, he was incredibly patient, professional, and supportive. He made sure I was comfortable behind the wheel and helped build my confidence with every lesson. The way Mohammad Umer F Sheikh explained everything, from the basics to the more advanced techniques, was clear and easy to understand. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. If you're looking for a driving instructor who truly cares about your success, I highly recommend Mohammad Umer F Sheikh. Thanks again for all your help!

FAQ

FAQs About Intensive Driving Lessons in Ayr

How much is a 1-hour driving lesson in the Ayr?

The cost of a 1-hour driving lesson varies, but it’s important to consider not just the price but the value of the experience. A 1-hour lesson at I Passing Smiles provides not only hands-on driving instruction but also emotional support. We understand that a relaxed and stress-free environment helps learners perform better, so every lesson is designed to be both educational and comforting, at a competitive rate.

In Scotland, prices for driving lessons may differ, but the focus should be on value for money. We believe that the right instructor can make all the difference, and the psychological benefits of having a supportive and encouraging driving instructor cannot be overstated. Investing in your learning experience at I Passing Smiles means you’re not just paying for lessons – you’re paying for the confidence and mental calmness that will help you pass your test with ease.

Whether you choose 1-hour or 2-hour lessons depends on your comfort level. Psychological research suggests that shorter, more frequent lessons often work better for building confidence and retention. However, some learners prefer longer sessions to immerse themselves fully in the experience. At I Passing Smiles, we work with you to identify the pace and duration that best suits your needs, making sure that you don’t feel rushed and are able to absorb everything at your own pace.

Touching the kerb during your test is not an automatic fail, but it could influence the overall judgment of your control of the vehicle. However, learners often stress over this small issue, which can lead to more mistakes due to anxiety.  We focus on helping you feel in control and confident behind the wheel so that you can navigate tight spaces like parallel parking without feeling anxious. We help you understand the finer points of such maneuvers, turning them from sources of fear into opportunities for improvement.

The thought of failing because of parallel parking can be a major source of stress for learners. However, the truth is, failing to park correctly doesn’t automatically mean failure. Many learners feel nervous about parking but are capable of passing the test with strong driving skills in other areas. We help you practice parking maneuvers in a relaxed setting, helping you reduce stress around this particular skill. Our instructors understand that confidence comes from repetition and positive feedback.
