C. K.

James is a very good instructor and is always on time for appointments., His communication was clear, precise and polite. He was very patient with me as a learner driver, making corrections in a manner that built my confidence on the road. Am so glad I chose him. Am proud he helped me pass my test on first attempt. From L>>N seamlessly.

P. M.

James was very professional and super helpful from my first lesson up until my last pretest with him. He was always calm and really worked with me on every aspect of my driving. I definitely wouldn’t have passed without all the help I received from him. Of the 3 different ADI companies I used for my driving lessons James is the only one I would recommend and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

G. S.

James was extremely helpful during my lessons and on both pretests I had resulting in me passing first time. Couldn't recommend him enough as he is very helpful especially when it comes to nerves around rules of the road and driving itself.

m. r.

James is a highly skilled ADI Approved Driving instructor and I highly recommend him for any one who begin as a learner driver or taking driving tests sooner. My driving test was at short notice and James took around 5 lessons along with pretests and it was of professional quality and he was calm and I did not feel nervous even when I made a fault, but James corrected it and I felt more confident and passed the test first time through the routes which James took me during lessons I recommend James and this review is from my heart. Sincerely, Muhammed

I did pretest with James in Charlestown. He gave detailed feedback on my driving and shared tips to improve on faults. Based on his evaluation of my previous test results and pretest tips, i was able to pass my test. Hes always approachable on WhatsApp for solving doubts. Highly recommend to get pretest with him.

I've been to 4 other driving schools before going to A NEW DRIVER and I wasn't sure where I was going wrong with my driving but James explained everything so well and within a few months I passed my test. I'd highly recommend James. James is an exceptional driving instructor.

S. R.

I can’t recommend James enough. He is very calm driving instructor and gives instructions in a timely manner. After doing driving EDT lessons with a different school, I turned to James as my confidence was knocked in a pre-test. James was an excellent teacher and built my confidence up in order for me to pass my test. I would highly recommend James from A New Driving. Thanks again!!

Six EDT lessons with James. That's all it took for me to pass in the first attempt, in Ireland's hardest testing centre of 2021. Brilliant instructor. The car have a rearview camera, which great improve your chances in the reversal maneuver during the test. Say the secret phrase "Mickey is a fad, Hickey a nice lad" for instant 5% discount :)

A. C.

James is a great instructor very relaxed, made my feel at ease and I passed first time after lessons and a couple of pre tests with him.

G. O.

I cannot recommend James enough for anyone looking to start their journey on the roads. I had completed 12 EDT's with a different company but still felt I had a lot more to learn before tackling the test. This is where James came in and was absolutely brilliant with his patience, delivery and eye for spotting any bad habits I had. I also loved that he made himself available at any times requested. In 5 short lessons and pretests he was able to help me prepare for the test more than my official 12 EDT lessons did and help me pass first time. I cannot fault his service!

J. C.

James Hickey is a quality instructor. Everyone I know who had him past their test first time. Great bloke as well. Would highly recommend

l. m.

Cannot recommend James Hickey enough. I have been driving a number of years but just couldn't pass the test over minor things or some bad habits I'd picked up which started to really affect my confidence. Once I got my new test date, I contacted James to organise some pre-tests as he was also familiar with the particular route for my test centre. I found James very open and honest on areas that needed work and didn't sugar coat any aspects that needed attention. Today I passed my test having done a pre-test this morning and I am beyond thrilled and grateful. I truly believe James helped me through it as he is very approachable too. Thank you!

Z. D.

James helped me with some pre tests which got me across the line with a pass! Great value lessons which I would highly recommend to anyone looking to pass their test with flying colours.

E. M.

Can’t recommend James enough! I competed my 12 EDT lessons with him and passed my test today first time in Raheny! (with a pass rate of only 38%). Overall, very friendly guy, great communicator and a very enthusiastic driver instructor.

A. A.

I done my first pre test with James 10 days ago and I had about 27 grade 2’s and he explained everything in a excellent way on how to improve and avoid the mistakes. After taking his notes on, I done another pre test yesterday and my grade 2 faults went down to 16. I then took his notes on board again and I just passed my driving test today. So happy with the service and would defo recommend.

a. m.

Ti have passed my test , thanks James for you advices and help. You were so so patient and help full. I highly recommend James to everyone who struggling passing the test and those who needs to pass the test from the first time.

T. d. B.

James is a patient, communicative and effective teacher. His feedback is constructive and helpful. I found my confidence in driving increasing with his guidance and instruction. Alongside the driving lessons, I found the pretest was extremely beneficial ahead of the test. I would highly recommend James for those looking to get behind the wheel without any fuss.

I. M.

I passed my test first time after doing a few add-on lessons and pretests with James. My first impression of James is that he was very patient from the start. After just one pretest, he was able to pick up all my bad habits and the next few lessons were spent fixing them. When it came to the theory part of the test, James gave me all the material to ensure that I was prepared. He made sure to go over everything more than once whenever I didn’t understand anything, until I understood. Another key thing I liked about him is that he made himself available as much as possible regardless of how late some of my requests were. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is either a new driver, or preparing to do their test.

R. B.

Done a pre-test with James. Passed 1st time. Highly recommend James for any learner requiring lessons or a pre-test.

C. M.

I had a really great experience with my driving lessons and pre-test. I found James very professional, and a total gent with endless patience, and excellent instruction which really helped me to improve substantially with each lesson. I would highly recommend to anybody learning how to drive for the first time or looking for a pre-test. A really excellent service.

L. B.

Highly recommended driving school, James the instructor is fabulous. I have passed my driving licence toady.

f. m.

I passed my test today and this is because of James. I had a few lessons and pre-tests with James in the last few weeks as a preparation to the test and they could not go better. He is a great person and professional instructor, he points out to all tips that you need during the actual test . he bring your attention to all mistakes that you are not aware of and that make a huge deference and improve your skills in order to pas the test. I highly recommend James to any body who aims to pass their test. THANK YOU VERY MUCH JAMES.

M. T.

Best Driving lessons I used! I felt relaxed and was able to focus. James made it a less daunting experience. I’m so grateful

J. L.

James is truly a great instructor and no doubt was key in me passing my test. His attention to detail and kindness really makes for a pleasant experience. He was always punctual and understanding. I can’t recommend him enough for anyone preparing for their driving test.

L. M.

Had a pre-test with James and couldn’t recommend his service enough. He was able to point out any mistakes (or potential improvements) that would generally go unnoticed by other instructors, and gave really valuable advice for my test. I passed my test and I’d say that if I didn’t have this lesson, I wouldn’t have passed. Highly recommend for anyone learning to drive!

C. P.

Just passed my driving test all thanks to my absolutely amazing instructor, Mr James, who made the impossible easily possible through his endless support and guidance. His teaching style is structured and he teaches you to drive with confidence! I highly recommend James because he is a considerate, patient, respectful instructor and he would go the extra miles for his learners!

P. B.

I booked three pre-test sessions with James. He was very good at quickly identifying issues that I needed to improve on before the day of the test and helped me to improve on those areas.After these sessions and working on the areas James identified, I passed my test. I would be happy to recommend James to anyone preparing for the driving test

T. s.

I passed my driving test today, James was so helpful and patience during my lessons with him. He is very good in pointing out what I have to work on.I will recommend James anytime,anyday. Best instructor in finglas.

H. S.

Had my pretest just before my test, and I passed the test.. Pretest with James really helped me to pass this test, I wouldn't have passed the test without pretest with him. Thanks james

F. M.

I had two hours driving lesson for my test with James, he is great. Friendly and professional, gives all tips that you need in order to help you passing the test. Thank you James

u. U.

I did two pre-tests with James and without them I would not have had a successful first attempt at the test. He really knows what he is talking about. He identified and taught me how to use the clutch properly, something two other instructors couldn’t do. I would recommend James to anyone.

B. O.

Passed my test today first time and i have james to thank for that. I had a number of bad habits from driving on my own which james was able to rectify in time for my test. I Would recommend doing at least two pre-test with a qualified instructor in advance of your test as this sets your mind at ease of what happens on the day and any issues which you need to resolve for the actual test.

l. m. l.

Recently passed my test after doing my lessons with James. Brilliant experience from start to finish! James gave great advice and pointed out things to work on throughout the lessons and pre-test and made me feel at ease during the entire process of getting my test passed! Would highly recommend James to anyone looking to pass their test or simply refresh their driving skills!

N. R.

James was a great instructor, i would definitely recommend him. I did pre test lessons with him and he told me exactly what I need to work on which I did, and I passed my test thankfully 🙏🏽

R. H.

Recently passed my driving test with James help, he helped build my confidence throughout my learning experience and is a very friendly and approachable person. He was happy to awnser any questions I had throughout and gave me great tips and advice. Can’t recommend him highly enough. Thanks for all your help James.

N. M.

After many years of trying to pass the driving test and failing all I needed was a couple of pre-tests with James and I succeeded! He very clearly pinpointed where I was going wrong, what faults I was making and taught me how to rectify them. He also put me at ease which made me more confident and less nervous doing the actual test which definitely helped. I would highly recommend James to anyone learning to drive or for anyone, like me, trying to iron out their bad habits and pass the test.

J. G.

Really appreciated James' help while preparing for my Driving Test. I completed 4 pretests with him and he always provided constructive and clear instructions on what I needed to work on. I was sufficiently prepared and as a result passed my Driving Test first time round. Would highly recommend James and A New Driver - Pretests and Driving Lessons
