I started to learn to drive 20 years ago but unfortunately life got in the way so I did not continue. I moved cities from Leeds to Manchester, Swinton to be with my now husband but having family in Leeds I continue to visit Leeds very often, I thought it would be easier if I drove so I looked for a driving school & came across How I drive & contacted Tamas & arrange my 1st lesson. I was nervous when I first met Tamas but he soon put me at ease. I found Tamas very understanding, patient & explains things clearly & if I didn’t understand he just explained it again in a different way or shows you on his tablet. I soon became comfortable with Tamas & my confidence grew with each lesson. You can have a laugh with Tamas there is no awkward silence. So if you’re looking to learn to drive I can highly recommend How I drive.

Thank you so much, Amanda, for taking the time to write such a lovely review! 😊 It’s been an absolute pleasure helping you return to driving after all these years, and I’m delighted that you not only built your confidence but also achieved your goal of passing first time! 🎉

It’s great to hear that you felt comfortable during our lessons and found the explanations helpful. Everyone learns differently, and it’s important to me that you feel supported and understand everything at your own pace. And of course, a few laughs along the way make the learning experience even better! 😄

You should be incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved, Amanda. Now you can enjoy the freedom of driving between Swinton, Manchester and Leeds to visit your family whenever you like. Thank you for choosing How I Drive Driving School and for recommending me to others. Wishing you many happy and safe miles ahead!

Very professional and accommodating when it come to teaching me how to drive a manual car. There very good at explaining all aspects of what is required to pass the practical driving test. In 6 months they managed to confidently teach me how to drive around warrington and resulted in me passing my test with only 2 minor. 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone looking for a professional driving instructor

Thank you so much for your kind review, Marco! 😊

It was a pleasure helping you with your refresher lessons over the past month. I’m really pleased to hear that you found the lessons useful and that you were able to take a lot from them.

Refresher lessons can be a great way to rebuild confidence, brush up on skills and address anything you may not feel completely comfortable with, so I’m really glad I could help.

Thank you for your recommendation — I really appreciate it, and I wish you all the best and many safe, confident miles ahead! 🚗👍

I had a really great experience learning with Tamas at How I Drive Driving School. I learned in a manual car and spent a lot of my lessons practising around Salford and Cheetham Hill, the area where I took my test. Tamas is a calm, encouraging and thorough instructor. He takes the time to properly explain new things, often using an iPad for demonstrations, and is always happy to answer questions. He also recaps previous lessons and reviews how things went at the end, which makes the lessons feel well structured without ever feeling rushed. One of the things I appreciated most was how he dealt with mistakes. He was always warm and cheerful when correcting me and would try to understand why I’d reacted a certain way, rather than simply telling me I’d done something wrong. It made mistakes feel like a normal part of learning. He was also very honest about my progress and readiness for the test. The mock tests were really useful for building my confidence, and he knew when we needed to work on something more and when it was time to move on. I passed first time with just a few minors, but more importantly, I felt like I had actually learned to drive rather than just learned how to pass a test. Tamas genuinely seems to care about creating good drivers, not just getting people through their test. I would absolutely recommend Tamas to anyone looking to learn to drive.

Thank you so much, Ceejay, for taking the time to leave such a detailed and thoughtful review. It really means a lot to me.
It was a pleasure teaching you, and I’m especially pleased that you felt the lessons were structured and thorough while still giving you the space to learn from your mistakes and build your confidence.

One of the most important parts of teaching, in my opinion, is understanding *why* a mistake happened rather than simply pointing out that something went wrong. That’s how we can actually address the underlying issue and help you become a better, more independent driver. I’m really glad that came across in your lessons.

You also put a lot of effort into your learning, and your progress was clear throughout. The work we did around Salford and Cheetham Hill, along with the mock tests, helped make sure you were not only ready for the test but genuinely prepared to drive independently afterwards.

And then to finish it all with a **first-time pass at Cheetham Hill with just 2 driving faults** is a fantastic result!

It was a pleasure having you as a student, Ceejay. Congratulations again, and thank you for trusting me to teach you. I wish you many happy and safe miles ahead!

I would give 10 stars if I could. I started off a bit of a nervous driver, but Tamas is so welcoming, patient, and informative that he helped me settle my nerves from the very beginning. His clear explanations and encouragement gave me the confidence I needed to improve with every lesson. I passed my test with just 1 minor, and I definitely wouldn’t have been able to do that without his help. I highly recommend Tamas to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable driving instructor. I’m from the Eccles area and drove manual.

Thank you for your kind words, Joe.

It was a real pleasure helping you on your journey from a nervous learner to a confident driver. You worked incredibly hard on your lessons, always listened carefully, and consistently put the effort in to improve each week.

Passing your driving test with 1 minor fault is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of the dedication you showed from start to finish.

I wish you all the best with your driving and hope you enjoy the freedom and opportunities that having a licence brings. Thank you again for choosing How I Drive and for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review.

Safe driving,

Just passed my manual driving test in Salford and couldn’t have done it without Tamas. Really patient, calm and professional throughout the whole journey. The lessons were well structured and helped build my confidence quickly. Always felt supported and comfortable behind the wheel. Would definitely recommend to anyone learning manual driving in the Salford/Manchester area.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Tamas enough. After 3 years of lessons, I finally passed my driving test today a first time pass!!, and I truly couldn’t have done it without him. From the very beginning, he believed in me even when I doubted myself. He has been patient, supportive, encouraging, and always pushed me to do better while building my confidence every step of the way. Learning to drive wasn’t always easy for me, but Tamas never gave up on me. He stayed calm, explained everything clearly, and helped me overcome my nerves and believe in myself behind the wheel. Every lesson felt supportive, and he genuinely cared about helping me become a safe and confident driver, not just pass a test. Thank you for all the time, patience, encouragement, and confidence you’ve given me over the last three years. Passing today means so much to me, and I’ll always be grateful for everything you’ve done. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who truly cares and goes above and beyond, Tamas is the one to choose!

Great driving instructor. I learned to drive manual in Walkden and the lessons were always clear and helpful. He explained things well and made me feel comfortable while driving. Also really good to chat with during lessons which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend to anyone learning to drive.

I recommend this driving instructor as he’s helped me pass first time, he’s a very calm and understanding instructor as I’m so nervous and have bad anxiety he made me feel comfortable behind the wheel and confident enough to pass. Even if I had my doubts of my test he was always the one to tell me I’m ready, he’s taught me everything I know and would recommend to anyone that’s wants to be able to drive

As someone who lives in Little Hulton I found it very difficult finding a reliable Manual driving instructor, when I found How I Drive Driving School I was excited as his page stated his lessons covered the area. I'd been with a few instructors before, but this instructor is amazing. He is patient, he listens and he is eager teach and demonstrate anything you wish to do. He was able to accommodate which hours worked best for me and the communication was fab! If your looking at driving a manual car i highly highly recommend him!!

My previous instructor didn’t prepare me one bit, but Tamas completely turned things around. Sometimes it feels like we’re going over the same things again and again — but that’s exactly why he’s so good at what he does. He genuinely cares about his students and is incredibly passionate about helping them pass and become safe, confident drivers. Thanks to Tamas, I passed my driving test first time, something I never thought I’d be able to say! He always knew what was best for me, pushed me when I needed it, and made sure I was fully ready for anything on the road. I’m so grateful for his patience, honesty, and dedication — I couldn’t have done it without him.

Wonderful experience all around with How I Drive. Very professional, patient, attentive and very honest about your driving ability at every stage of your learning process. I was quite an impatient learner who just wanted to get on the road but he would always bring me back down to earth. If you listen to him, you’ll pass. Simple as.
