Adam Mcnally

“I passed my driving test today all thanks to IN Gear I had previously done lessons with another instructor and had a very bad experience. I did another 12 lessons with IN Gear and from the very first one the difference in the lessons was unbelievable. They are brilliant Instructors and are so passionate about what they do. IN Gear built up my confidence and helped me get rid of the bad habits I had. And had me laughing throughout the lessons and I thoroughly enjoyed myself while still learning how to drive properly. I would 100% recommend IN Gear to anyone wanting to pass their driving test.”

I passed my driving test today 🥂🥳💃🏽 thank you James 🥂 keep up the amazing work 👏 much appreciated 💐
Slavik
I was initially quite hesitant to begin my driving lessons, but I’ve found In Gear to be fantastic at helping me become a better driver and more confident on the road. Paul is a joy to learn from, giving constructive advice and being passionate towards the betterment of my driving. His passion and attentiveness have helped me build a positive mindset and approach to the road, and I couldn’t recommend In Gear more. I now feel confident in my ability to pass my drivers test and feel like this experience has definitely been worthwhile.
Colin Davies
At 36 I almost gave up on driving but decided to give it another shot. After finding few instructors elsewhere that didn’t work, I then met Jimmy at In Gear who made me more comfortable behind the wheel and a much better driver which resulted in a first time pass. Not only is Jimmy a great instructor but also a great person which makes the 2hr lessons much more easier and enjoyable. I fully recommend In Gear and Jimmy specifically if you are looking for a first time pass in the Dublin area. 5*
Ellen Newman
Passed my test on the first attempt with John! Excellent instructor, great for making lessons work for me in both time and content. Patient and experienced. Did 2 pretests with him in the run up, which I believe were key to my pass mark! Cannot recommend enough! Remember, huxi!
Juliana Romanyshyn
Delighted I have passed my test with In Gear this week! My instructor was Paul, and I can’t recommend him highly enough! Paul was very attentive, dedicated, and clearly passionate about teaching his students how to drive, not only pass the test. Paul explained all the concepts to me over and over whenever I needed a reminder, made a mistake, or had a question. If you are looking for a patient instructor that will teach you how to drive, go to Paul. Make sure you book way in advance too!
Renee Tracey Oneill
Have just completed lessons with my driving instructor Jimmy , absolutely amazing instructor his way of explaining techniques & rules of the road were so easy to take in , very calming and reassuring especially I was so anxious would highly recommend for a learner starting out 😃 thanks so much Jimmy 💛
Hrishikesh Mangalekar
I had a fantastic experience with IN GEAR Driving School, thanks to my instructor Mark. He made learning the rules and regulations of Irish roads easy to understand, and his focus on driving safely gave me the confidence I needed. Mark is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor, which made the lessons both informative and enjoyable. He was also flexible and quick to schedule my lessons, ensuring I was well-prepared. Thanks to his expert guidance and useful tips, I passed my driving test on the first try!
Grace Barry
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I switched to In Gear driving school after several lessons and I am glad I did. Sean was an absolutely fantastic instructor. Very patient and supportive, after 4 2 hour sessions I felt more than ready for my test and passed the first time. I cannot recommend InGear enough.
Lisa Cuddy
I passed my test today in Killester and it would not have been possible without Ross. When I met him a year ago I had no clue about cars and I was absolutely petrified of driving. At times I really struggled and even thought about throwing the towel in.Ross was so friendly, calm, extremely patient, explained everything clearly and helped build my confidence. Thanks a million Ross you've been amazing and I was blessed to have you as my instructor 😊
aaliyah kirby
My driving instructor was Catherine I really learned a lot in my lessons was very happy with the service
Seán Cullen
When I started with In Gear in July of this year I was a really nervous driver and I had my manual driving test in two months’ time. Two days ago I passed my driving test first time, and I owe a massive amount of my success to James and his person-centred approach to teaching. The lessons felt tailored specifically to what I needed to improve on rather than an impersonal cookie cutter template. My instructor never made me feel incompetent as a driver, and he instilled a level of confidence in my driving that really helped me when I sat the driving test.I had no access to a car between lessons but I was directed towards many helpful resources and methods to improve my chances of succeeding in the driving test, such as online resources and visualisation methods. These made me more familiar with the test routes and the controls of the car and were a huge help between lessons.Overall I had a great experience learning with In Gear and am now a much more confident and skilled driver. I would highly recommend doing lessons with In Gear.
Karthik Parthipan
Catherine, my driving instructor, has been amazing. She has been outstanding in pointing out my mistakes and has been very supportive and patient with me throughout my lessons. I have the utmost confidence in my ability to pass my test thanks to her. I recommend everyone striving to get their license to use In Gear Driving School.
Sreekanth Babu
Thank you IN Gerar Driving School and Cristian.
Katie Greene
After putting off the driving test for three years, I did a few refresher lessons with Joyce. Joyce completely put me at ease in the car and for the first time I felt confident on the road. I passed my test first time in August and I could not have done this without Joyce’s help and encouragement every step of the way
Jordan Carroll
Couldn't recommend Joyce from In Gear enough!After putting off driving for so long I met Joyce in July a nervous wreck! She wasted no time getting me on the road and used to controlling a vehicle and by lesson 3 I was flying. The remainder of the lessons we improved on my weaknesses together and did a lot of test preparation!I passed first time this morning in Tallaght, all down to Joyce and her teaching! Thank you very much!
David Fleming
Relieved to have passed my test today. Massive thank you to Jimmy at In Gear. Did my EDT lessons with Jimmy, and he was very clear and patient. Then did some pre tests with him where he was very precise and clear with advice and instructions. He also gave me some tips on difficult junctions that may be on the route. They were!! So thanks again.
Gary Behan
James at In Gear was a fantastic instructor. Gave me all the tools needed and the confidence to pass my test. Couldn't be happier with the result! Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to pass their test!
Andrey Pricop
Great instructorsCatherine was lovely and helpful the whole wayRecommend to everyone
Jed Dizon
Very happy with my lessons. Did them with John. He was very knowledgeable with great humour that put my worries from first time driving at ease, alongside neat tips with driving safely. Would definitely recommend this.
Anderson Finlay
I would highly recommend In Gear Driving School to anyone that needs to learn how to drive. I always thought I was too old to learn at 36, as I gave up at 18 when I couldn’t get the hang of it. When I got on to In Gear I was put in touch with Ross, who couldn’t have been a better teacher. Ross was beyond excellent, always so patient with a very nervous student (me) and full of encouragement. He’s also good craic so I looked forward to every lesson. Thanks to Ross’ fantastic teaching style and confidence boosting pep talks, I passed the test on my first go. Couldn’t recommend In Gear (and especially Ross!) more!
jamie mccabe
I would like to say thanks to James my driving instructor I passed my test for the first time thanks to him I would recommend if anyone wants to get the full license get on to them they are really good thanks again 😊🫡

Karl Murphy
Only beginning to drive in my 30s, I wasnt sure which driving school to use. From sending the email query on a Sunday to having a phone call from my instructor Catherine the same day, my impression of IN Gear keeps getting better and better. I've an exceptional instructor in Catherine. She's super knowledgeable, patient and kind. A great teacher, making everything as simple as possible with great explanations. Delighted with the quick progress I've made and with half the lessons still to come. I look forward to them each time. I'd recommend Catherine and IN Gear to anyone looking to learn to drive. Thank you for your great professionalism!
Helen Meehan
I did my lessons and pretests with Ross. He was such a good teacher and made me feel so comfortable driving. He was always in great form and made my lessons fun. I was nervous learning to drive and he made me feel confident and ready for my test. Would 10/10 recommend.
Andrew Holohan
James is an amazing instructor! He took me from being a terrible driver and hating driving to passing my test in ~15 hours. He broke down exactly what was needed to pass and knew the routes inside out, and what to watch out for. Ultimately, he tries really hard to help every trainee driver, and cares that they pass and enjoy driving and you cant ask for more.
iVica
I have done all my 12 EDT lessons with Ross and I have to say he is the best driving instructor out there and can’t recommend him enough to others, I have done pretest lessons with him after completing all my lessons and have passed my test the first time thanks to Ross and his good style of teaching!
Samiya Omar
I had the best experience with Catherine Mooney from Ongar. From the day i started she made me feel so confident on the road and i couldn't recommend her enough. I was so nervous to start but she made me feel so comfortable and her approach to teaching is so helpful.The best instructor and an amazing person all round . So grateful to have her as my teacher.
fatima ayoub
I took my EDTs with In-Gear, and today I passed my driving test on the first attempt! 🎉 A huge shout-out to my instructor Ross, who was exceptional throughout the entire process. He explained everything in detail, making me feel confident and well-prepared. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Thank you, Ross, and In-Gear!
Sandal Sunny
Ross is an amazing driving instructor! He’s super patient and made me feel comfortable right from the start. He took me through all the difficult routes which made me confident and helped me pass my driving test. Thank you so much!
Abbey oreilly

Chloe Thompson

Samantha Bride
Done my 12 lesson with catherine mooney from in gear. I can't thank catherine enough she was amazing. I was so nervous to start my lessons but she made me feel so comfortable and her approach to teaching is second to none. I feel fully confident to get out and drive after my 12 lessons. Catherine was an amazing teacher and such a nice person to be around. I would recommend in gear to anyone and definitely catherine mooney. Thank you again and I'll be forever grateful 🙏
Hamza Saify
I took my lessons with John Wickham, and he was absolutely brilliant. John had this personality of making you calm and focused with his humour and attention to detail. He had so many useful tips and tricks to not only pass the test but also on how one could be a competent and a safe driver.I am proud to say that I passed my test, the first time, under his guidance💐
Marie Karl
I just passed my driving test first time after doing my lessons with John from Ingear! When I first started I was convinced I’d never actually be able to drive due to my struggles with positioning etc but straight out the bat, John’s method helped with that! John has been the most patient, understanding and helpful teacher, continually putting me at ease and reminding me I am in control. It was for these reasons I came back to him again and again even when I was well over the 12 lessons but still needed more help. I genuinely could not have passed without Johns guidance. Thank you so much Ingear and John in particular!
conor d
Incredible attention to detail, definitely got me through the test. Thanks Dec
Hugo Ferreira

Mariam Sobayo
Completed my 12 lessons with Vicki and couldn’t recommend a better instructor. From day one she boosted my confidence and made me feel calm while in the drivers street. And now I feel confident in myself
Rabin William
I had a wonderful experience with InGear driving school. My instructor, Vicki, was really patient and calm. She knew her stuff very well and was always willing to accommodate my schedule to find the most suitable time for lessons. The lessons were very methodical and I could see improvements with every session. I also took a pre-test with her which greatly helped identify my faults and correct them before I can sit for my test.If you are considering learning how to drive, I highly recommend Vicki and Ingear!
Bola Deborah
I couldn’t be happier to have done lessons with Ross!🙌🏾He’s the best instructor I’ve had! He made driving really easy and the rules of the road really simple to understand. I passed my test after 3 2hr lessons with Ross. I’m elated!
Robert Kiernan
Great experience with InGear from the very start. Passed my test in Raheny, all thanks to Norah! She really built up my confidence, and was super patient and helpful. Would highly recommend anyone preparing for their driving test to go with InGear!
Charlie
I reached out to ingear as I had not driven for a few years and was anxious to get back on the road. Vicki was extremely helpful in reducing my driving anxiety.
Abby Mc Donald
I’ve just completed my 12 manual lessons with Milan from In Gear and I couldn’t recommend him enough! I was a really nervous driver which Milan could tell instantly and he made me feel so comfortable and confident that I lost my nerves by lesson 4/12! Milan is so calm and chatty that you don’t feel under any pressure at all, even on the days I was so nervous to be driving on the roads Milan was so supportive and never pushed my limits which is why I have recommended Milan to all my friends wanting to start driving! I am delighted with how my confidence in driving has improved and I couldn’t have done it without Milan! If I could give 10 stars I would!! 🙂 I’ll definitely be back in touch when going for my Test! Thanks so much Milan😁
Niall Browne
John Wickham was an excellent instructor. He was thorough, helpful and insightful in his lessons, and had a way of making even the most complex topics easy to understand.His sense of humour and innovative and adaptable teaching style made it so I would never dread a lesson with him, and he had an excellent knack for keeping me calm and focused, even when first driving on the road.I found John's pretest lessons particularly helpful and would gladly recommend him to anyone and encourage them to also opt for the pretest lessons that he provides.
Cirilo Diogo Joao Godinho

Yazan Zeid
I couldn't be happier with my experience at In Gear! Thanks to their exceptional driving lessons, I passed my driving test on the first try. A huge shoutout to my instructor, Catherine Mooney, who is truly one of the best in the game. Catherine's teaching style is patient, thorough, and incredibly supportive. She made sure I felt confident behind the wheel and was always ready to provide valuable tips and constructive feedback. Her expertise and dedication to her students are evident in every lesson. The entire process, from booking lessons to the final test preparation, was seamless and professional. In Gear's commitment to excellence is unmatched, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to learn how to drive. Thank you, Catherine, and the entire In Gear team for making this a fantastic and successful journey!
Niamh Coughlan
Absolutely thrilled that I passed my driving test and couldn’t have done it without my instructor Ross! As a very anxious driver he helped me stay calm and filled me with confidence. He was so patient with me and always professional. Ross made every lesson enjoyable and I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough. THANK YOUUU
Córa Rodgers
Thank you to Paul who helped me pass my driving test first time! He is an amazing teacher and very patient. He has great ways of explaining things for helping you to remember things like “BBC, break before clutch” and “ lean out like a small giraffe” as someone who forgets things easily these little phrases have definitely helped me and I remember them! I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor to help me learn to drive!
Lita Clarke
After a couple of abandoned attempts at lessons in a manual car over the years. I decided to switch to automatic. John, a brilliant instructor helped me to gain confidence and knowledge and I recently passed my test in Raheny. John has a very constructive approach working through any difficulties and instilling confidence in yourself. I would definitely recommend John.
Nabeel Ahmed
I took my lessons with Ross and passed my exam in Mulhuddart. Ross provided clear, easy to follow instructions and keep providing inputs on areas which needs improvement. I would highly recommend him.
