I’ll be honest: driving did not come naturally to me. My first lesson felt like the car and I were both hoping the other had a plan. Luckily, John at Your Pass Driving School definitely did. He was calm, patient, and steady throughout every lesson. He took me from a complete beginner to a confident, safe driver, and he did it without ever making me feel embarrassed for the things I didn’t know. His explanations were clear, his approach was reassuring, and his sense of humour — especially the dad jokes — made the whole experience far less stressful than it could’ve been. If you’re looking for an instructor who’s supportive, skilled, and brings a bit of humour to the process, John is a brilliant choice. Additionally the YouTube videos on the Your Pass Driving School page and online lesson booking was a big bonus! Read Less

I highly recommend Your Pass having just passed first time after a 35 hour 7-day intensive course (2 minors). I was assigned Gary as my instructor who happens to be the owner of the company. Upon enquiring into this type of course Gary made it clear that this style of learning is not for everyone, e.g if you cant concentrate for 5 hours a day for 7 days straight. As an instructor he is extremely personable and puts you at ease from the start. He has 18+ years of experience in the job, so has seen every mistake many times before and has multiple ways of helping you to address it if the first way does not suit you. He has also created additional materials such as a YouTube channel with guides, common faults, mock and real test fails as well as an interactive app for roundabouts, crossroads etc. I personally found these resources extremely useful to visualise and learn from when tackling these road sections and is something that is unique to this driving school. If you are comparing options in the Fife area I strongly recommend Your Pass. I couldn't drive 7 days ago and now I can 😀. Read Less

Gary is the best there is, after having bad experiences with previous instructors i was quite scared about driving again but there was no need to be. Gary has a way of talking to you and calming your nerves without you even knowing he's doing it. The videos he puts up on his website are very helpful and no doubt helped me pass my test so if you are a student of his get watching they will help you. I had only been taking lessons with Gary for 6 weeks before passing my test so if that doesn't tell you how good he is nothing will. cheers Gary Read Less

If you want to enjoy your driving lessons, and pass first time then Gary is the instructor for you!!!Gary was very patient with me throughout our lessons and always remained cool, calm and collected, even if I made the same mistake over and over.He is very motivating even when I wasn’t confident in myself and made sure I always understood where I went wrong and how to improve. He ensures you are well prepared not only for your driving test but for future independent driving. I could not recommend him enough. One little advice for everyone - visualise your mistakes in your mind, and watch the videos on Your Pass Driving School website made by Gary and practice them in your head before either each lesson or more importantly the test day.Thank you for all your help and support Gary !! 🙂 Read Less

I was really reluctant to learn how to drive, because I didn't think I would be able to do it. But, I decided to book lessons with Gary, and I'm SO glad I did. He is a passionate, dedicated, friendly and patient instructor. I've heard horror stories about other driving instructors, you wont have to worry about that with Gary. Right from the first lesson, he makes you feel relaxed and makes learning to drive a really enjoyable experience. He is very encouraging. If you're struggling with a manoeuvre or if you've failed a test, he will help you and he wont let you give up. I'm still in shock that I passed my test lol. My life has changed *dramastically* ( <-- a word Gary created lol ). Thank you Gary! 😀 Read Less

Thank you so much to Gary. An amazing instructor, and such a lovely person. He is easy to get on with, and have lots of laughs with. I was struggling with my confidence when driving before having lessons with Gary, and after my first lesson with him, I felt so much more capable. He makes you feel at ease, and doesn't make you worried or nervous if you make a mistake. He'll simply talk you through what went wrong, and help you fix it in a way that is easy to understand. If you had told me I'd pass first time, before starting lessons with Gary, I'd never have believed it, but here we are! I highly recommend taking lessons with Your Pass Driving School! 😊 Read Less

Finally found a really good instructor who managed to tame my speeding lol. Got me through my test after 10yrs on and off with loads of different instructors :) amazing guy and great banter. Highly recommended Read Less

Gary has done the impossible... Helped me overcome my fear of driving. I failed my test but the point is I am ready to go again and do more practice. I give Gary 5 stars for great patience, understanding, forward thinking and resilience. He genuinely cares about you passing the test and more importantly being able to drive safely after the test. I enjoyed the lessons and listening to his views about the future of the car industry and how he is embracing the new technology. I do not feel disappointed after failing the test, I feel ready to do more 😁✌️ Read Less

Gary was an excellent instructor and after struggling with a few previous instructors I gained a lot of confidence from Gary. His training methods make things simple and relaxed. I found his parallel parking method really helpful which I had struggled with previously. Gary keeps things relaxed and chatty during lessons and really helped take the pressure off in the run up to the test. Having had experienced with various instructors I couldn't recommend Gary more, especially if you have found lessons to be stressful. Thanks for all your help Gary. Read Less

Really couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! Gary really helped to build my confidence after a bad experience with another driving school. He listened to my needs and responded by tailoring his teaching style to me. Laid back approach and a calming influence behind the wheel. His videos were really helpful, particularly the show me tell me revision questions. Really easy guy to get along with and puts you at ease with some great banter! 10/10 would recommend. Read Less

I would highly recommend that anyone who wants to learn how to drive gets in touch with Gary at Your Pass. - he rocks! I never wanted to drive, but after I had children I felt I needed to. From the first lesson Gary put me at ease with his friendly but professional manner. Everything he says makes sense and he is patient and encouraging all the way. I actually enjoy driving now and its all down to him. I truly believe I wouldn't have passed my test without Gary's help. Five stars! Read Less

I booked gary for an intensive course after a recommendation to one of my family members. After 5 days I PASSED with zero faults. I think this says a lot about how fantastic an instructor Gary is. He was patient, kind and thorough the full five days. I felt confident and this was largely due to his positive teaching style and realistic views! THANK YOU GARY!!!! Read Less

Thanks Gary for everything. I finnally managed to do the parallel parking and also it was great passing the test at the first attempt .You always gave me a boost of confidence and the impossible turns possible due to your Advice and support ... This post will not express enough of my gratitude for you����� Read Less

From my experience , I would advise anyone looking for an instructor to contact Gary. I have been with a previous instructor (Max Pass ) who I felt didn't help or encouraged me to achieve what I know I could do; he once told me " I WILL NOT BE READY TO TAKE MY TEST ANYTIME SOON " after driving around (same locations all the time) for 5 months or so . I immediately said HELL NO ! and messaged Gary after reading good reviews online . BOOM! Gary told me YES it is possible sandy and I will help you to pass . It was not easy but Gary kept encouraging me , giving me constructive criticism, made me feel relaxed and determined . Had a few lessons with Gary , test day arrived and again he made me feel confident and told me that I'm ready, I can do this. GUESS WHAT!! I PASSED MY TEST TODAY ALL BECAUSE OF GARY'S PATIENCE ND ENCOURAGEMENT. thanks Gary.x Read Less

Gary is an amazing instructor! Extremely patient and concise, he really explores what areas you’re having trouble with and finds solutions and teaching mechanisms that suit you. He always found a way to pick me up on my off days and not once did he have an off day himself. Always so encouraging, uplifting and a good laugh. There’s sometimes a little bit of a wait to book your first lesson but it’s definitely worth the wait :) Read Less

I Highly Recommend Your Pass, I had sat my test twice previously in a manual car and felt like I was never going to pass , so decided to switch to learning in an automatic , I wish I had done it sooner the difference was like night and day from being stressed by driving lessons to actually enjoying them in the automatic.

gary was an amazing instructor made me feel totally at ease after trying manual for over a year i just found it too hard and was ready to give up . so glad that i didn't because i finally got there . Gary really helped me get over my fear of the road and had great banter at every lesson . if manual driving gives u the fear like it did with me then i would highely recommend gary at Your Pass 👌🏻 Read Less

Cannot recommend Your Pass enough. From start to finish Gary was incredible. My confidence has improved massively & I cannot thank Gary enough for his patience, advice & general teaching ability. Gary doesn't tell you what to do, he teaches you what to do which is vital. As a result of this, I went on to pass my test today first time with only 1 minor fault. I highly recommend Your Pass to everybody. Once again, thanks very much Gary! Read Less

Highly recommend 'Your Pass'. Having Gary as an instructor was a blessing. He is so patient and he not only gave me the confidence to drive but courage to get my license. After 3 failed attempts ..purely down to my nervousness and silly mistakes.. he never gave up on me ..he made me believe I could do it.... and I did. I love driving. Thank you Your Pass. Thank you Gary.Read Less

Highly recommend Gary at Your Pass. Totally dedicated to his profession. I know I challenged Gary as I had been driving > 30 years in the States. He took this city driver on and taught me a different style of driving. Ha was always calm and encouraging. Plus we had tons of good laughs.😂😂 Read Less

Well what can I say after a couple of bad experiences with other instructors I eventually found gary and thankgod I did.He made me feel relaxed and confident and his technique's are very easy to follow.. 13 lessons later I now have my pass certificate so he must have done something right (don't know how I've managed all this time without a car now) cheers gary Read Less

Gary was absolutely amazing with me while learning to drive with Your Pass. Not once did he show annoyance or frustration when I made a mistake; instead he always offered encouragement and advice for how I could do better next time. I passed first time with Gary, only getting 1 minor fault and I would 100% recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to drive. He is a very professional driving instructor who I cannot thank enough.

28 Nov No one like your pass..... I cannot recommend Gary enough....He's a fantastic driving instructor and I wouldn't have passed without him. He 'teaches" you how to drive he doesn't "tell" you! He's worth every penny and more. I would never have paws without him!! Read Less

Gary is a fantastic instructor. A really decent guy who will always give positive feedback first so you don't feel disheartened if you've made mistakes. I would thoroughly recommend Gary to any learners & am so grateful he got me through my lessons to a pass. Read Less

Gary was the most professional and helpful instructor I had, and he got me through my test with a good pass mark, I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He gave me the confidence to actually keep it up and get through when I didn't think in my head I could do it. Thanks Gary for everything ��� Read Less

After not having a professional driving lesson in 16 years my confidence was in need of a little TLC. Even after my first lesson with Derek I found that I had more self belief that I had initially realised. Derek has a lovely relaxed teaching manner, he is easy to talk to, professional, reliable and provides constructive feedback. I never really had the passion to learn to drive, but very quickly I began to enjoy driving with Derek and felt a real sense of achievement. It has now been over a 4weeks since I passed my test and you can’t keep me out the car!! I would recommend Your Pass (and Derek) to anyone looking to start driving lessons without hesitation – in fact I already have! Thank you Derek – I couldn’t have done it without you. xx Read Less
