“I had my driving test today and can confirm Cornel is the perfect pretest instructor. He knows the Dún Laoghaire area in and out, which was absolutely invaluable. We practiced all the challenging routes and tricky spots, meaning there were no surprises on the day. No wonder I passed! Huge thanks for his great support and excellent teaching. Highly, highly recommend!”

“I can't thank Cornel enough for his support with my driving test. I booked a 2-hour pre-test with him and also used his car for the test today, and I passed! Cornel is an outstanding instructor. He is calm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He pays attention to every little detail and explains things in such a clear way that it instantly builds confidence. The way he prepares you makes the actual test feel so much easier. His professionalism, encouragement, and dedication really set him apart. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students' success, and he goes above and beyond to make sure you are fully ready. If you're looking for the best possible preparation and a stress-free experience, I would 100% recommend Cornel.”

“I did my manual driving lessons and one pre test with Cornel and I passed my driving test first time!! He knows exactly what the testers are looking for, brought me on all the possible routes and guided me in a calm way on how to be a safe driver. He gave me great confidence in the car as I used to be a nervous driver. I couldn't recommend him more highly, thank you Cornel!”

“I had the pleasure of having Cornel teach me how to drive from my EDT to multiple practice runs over the course of the year while I waited for my test. He's a fantastic teacher and a really affable person to go with it. I managed to pass first time and that's down to him.”
