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.”

Erica Mchugh

Being someone who suffers with anxiety issues, driving seemed so daunting to me. IN Gear driving school has helped me hugely , giving me the confidence I needed to drive and to pass my test. I would recommend IN Gear to anyone and especially those that are extra nervous like myself. I can now say that I actually enjoy driving and it was a privilege to learn from such a passionate and encouraging instructor.

I did my classes and car hire with Gerry. Gerry is an amazing instructor. He helped me correct my every small mistake, many of which I was never of before! He helped me excel on reversing around the corner as that was one of my biggest weak point. He is quite a gentleman and a soft spoken person. He puts in his best efforts to ensure his students pass the test as well develop good and safe driving skills. He also was quite understanding and flexible to move our appointment dates based on my schedule. I would highly recommend taking classes with Gerry!
Laura McConnell
Delighted to have passed my test! My driving instructor was John, from the get go he made me feel at ease. He has some excellent teaching methods, is really knowledgeable and instilled in me the importance of safety and driving carefully on the road which helped build up my confidence over time.
After my lessons I did a couple pre tests and the combination of the practice and the pre tests really helped me feel confident and self assured on the road. Can't recommend them enough. Thanks a mill John!
Brenda Adams
Such a fantastic experience. My driving instructor was Paul and from day 1 he made me feel at ease. Any question was welcomed. Explained everything so simply. Overall great experience
Holly Mcnally
Done 12 lessons with Paul had a great experience booked in for another 12 lessons. Paul is a great teacher invested in his work and wants the best for everyone and is very passionate about his work. Couldn’t ask for a better drive instructor
katie hagan
As someone who had previously done 12 lessons with another instructor and was not shown most things and left to drive straight roads with no time being spent on things I need to know, it totally put me off driving and thought I was the problem that I didn’t have the ability to be able to drive. I reached out to in gear this year and Paul( the owner )took me on right away and had been absolutely incredible from calming my nerves to showing me absolutely everything over and over having patience with me when I didn’t even want to be be in the drivers seat. My outlook on driving has completely changed I have now started to realise I do in-fact have the ability to drive and be a good driver i just needed time and patience. I have never felt as comfortable in the drivers seat than I do with Paul. I would 1000% recommend to anyone starting out it’s such a big thing to do but with the help of the in gear team you will achieve your goals 🙂
Margot
I was ready to quit due to horrendous treatment from other instructors in other driving schools but then a friend recommended Paul from In Gear and it was a complete 180.
Paul is professional and patient. He adapts to the learning needs of his students and quickly identifes what they need to work on the most.
My confidence in my own ability to learn was completely shot but Paul not only helped me regain my confidence but actually made me enjoy driving.
I'm currently waiting on a test date and I have no doubt I will pass. I will also book well in advance for some pre-test lessons.
Paul is very busy due to his exceptional teaching style and attitude but it is definitely worth the wait.
It was also so refreshing to meet someone who is not motivated by money. Paul genuinely loves helping others and you can see that his greatest reward is when his students pass.
Thanks to Paul, when I do pass, I will have the gift of independence and freedom but also the confidence that I am a safe driver.
Tamara Hamilton
I had a great experience with John, he was very knowledgeable and did great getting me test ready! I was a very nervous driver but due to good preparation after the pretest I was able to calm down and pass my test!
Alex E-J
My instructor Gerry was absolutely phenomenal! Never been behind the wheel before and decided at 40 it was time. Gerry was the perfect instructor, understanding, calm and knew when to push me out of my comfort zone. Thanks to his instruction I just passed my test first time! Thank you Gerry for everything!
Regina O'Shea
Such a fantastic experience. My driving instructor was John and from day 1 he made me feel at ease. Any question was welcomed. Explained everything so simply. After my lessons I did some pre tests and I cannot recommend them enough. Really helped prepare me for what to expect in the test. Passed first time. Thanks John. Delighted with my results.

Anna Mr
I finally passed my driving test on Monday thanks to James at In Gear. I had attempted the test multiple times and failed mainly due to nerves before changing instructors, which was the best decision I could have made. I would 100% recommend James to any anxious driver, he is dedicated to making his students feel comfortable and confident going into the exam and he adapts lessons to your specific needs. I can't thank him enough!!

Catherine is an amazing instructor who helped me gain confidence to drive on the main roads, she was very helpful and patient which calmed my nerves during my lessons. I would recommend her a million time!
kmahon99
James was very helpful getting me to focus on the smaller details of my driving that would help me get less marks in my exam. Passed first time highly recommended.
aoibhin flynn
Passed first time in killester with the help of my instructor Norah. I couldn’t recommend her anymore, she was always patient and helpful and could answer any questions I had. She was flexible and made time for lessons when suited you and she always came prepared. She made the experience very enjoyable. She reassured me coming up to my test and gave me the confidence I needed on the day to pass.
Gokul
I had the absolute pleasure of learning to drive with Catherine at In Gear Driving School. From my very first EDT lesson to the last, she was incredibly patient, professional, and supportive. Catherine has a talent for making even the most nervous learner feel confident behind the wheel.

Her clear explanations and helpful tips made all the difference, and I always felt like I was improving with each lesson. Thanks to her excellent guidance, I passed my driving test and now have my license!

I couldn’t recommend Catherine and In Gear Driving School highly enough. If you’re looking for an experienced and encouraging instructor, Catherine is the one! 🚗💨
Megan McGloin

very good school i passed today
nicole colton
Had the best experience learning to drive with John Wickam at In Gear driving! I was extremely nervous to start driving, I had put it off for a long time, mostly because I was terrified of the possibility of either hurting myself or someone else as I had been nocked down when I was quite young.
John’s witty and funny personality put me right at ease, I relaxed instantly and was able to learn to drive safely and appropriately. John is a fantastic instructor who has of patience and compassionate for learners. Having only completed my lessons last May and 2 pretests this month, I passed my full driving test on the first try!! Thank you so much John! 🚗
Rushiraj Jadhao
I had an amazing experience with InGear Driving School, especially thanks to my incredible instructor, Vicki Delaney. Her patience, professionalism, and clear guidance made every lesson enjoyable and informative. After just six lessons, I feel confident behind the wheel. Thank you, Vicki, for your exceptional teaching and support!
Aslam Muhammed
I had my reduced EDT lessons and pre tests with Ian from InGear. Very satisfied with his teaching methods which helped me to pass my test in Finglas on my first try.

His extensive knowledge about the test routes came in crucial as he helped me to understand some tricky spots and junctions and how to drive through them smoothly.

He made me test ready very fast and gave me loads of driving practice in varying traffic conditions which helped me build confidence

Thank you Ian. You are the best
Jennifer Cimpoesu
I had an amazing experience with Catherine at In Gear Driving School! She is an incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging instructor. Catherine took the time to explain everything clearly, helping me build both confidence and skill behind the wheel. Her calm and professional demeanor made learning to drive much less stressful, and her tips were practical and easy to follow.

Thanks to Catherine’s excellent guidance, I feel fully prepared for my driving test. I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a fantastic driving instructor!
Adam Banka
Just passed my driving test today with a help of Milan. He is a very smart and experienced driver. He will always spot your mistakes and suggest a fix. I did few lessons prior to exam and booked an hour before the exam which was very helpful as we went around the same path as during the exam. He was always easy to talk to and reschedule when needed. Thanks Milan!
Nhi Lan Nguyen
I passed my first driving test today and I’m delighted to say my instructor James has been a huge help with boosting my confidence in driving! The relaxing atmosphere that he gives through his positive and cheerful attitude yet strict discipline on driving played a big part building and improving my driving skills and I’ve never felt so relieved that I picked in-gear driving school! Thank you so much for helping me pass!
Pedro Giorgi Junior
The best in Ireland! Great staff, driving instructors and cars. Recommend 100%!
Grace
My experience with In-Gear Driving School was outstanding. I was impressed by how quickly I was paired with an instructor after my initial inquiry. Starting lessons promptly was a huge plus.
Throughout my training, my instructor, James, was incredibly patient and supportive. He consistently provided exceptional service and created a relaxed learning environment.
James helped break down driving manoeuvres into easily digestible steps, significantly boosting my confidence behind the wheel.
I recommend In-Gear Driving School to anyone seeking high-quality driving lessons.
Luke Kinsella
I passed my driving test last week with the brilliant Norah from In Gear driving school. Her easy approach and teaching methods gave me confidence to pass on my first attempt . I highly recommend Norah and In Gear driving school 👍
Natalia
I just passed my test and sincerely recommend James as an instructor. He's very detail-oriented, always gave me a spot-on feedback and learning with him came really easy. I struggle with nerves and he always made me feel relaxed and confident in my abilities which ultimately helped me to pass. He's also very personable so our lessons were always fun. Thank you James you're brilliant!
Brenda Coviello
I just finished my 12 lessons and couldn’t be more happy! Looking forward to pass in to my test, Big Thanks to my instructor James, for his patient and kindness!
Dmytro “DimaX” Brykaylo
I had an excellent experience with Sinead! From the very first lesson, she made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Her teaching style is patient, clear, and a lot of fun, which helped me improve my driving skills quickly. She always provided valuable feedback and encouraged me to keep going, even when I made mistakes. I felt well-prepared and supported throughout my lessons. Plus point, the price of the lessons with "in gear" are the best on the market.

I highly recommend Sinead Hampshire to anyone looking for a professional and caring driving instructor. Thank you so much for everything.
Diana Verbytska
I passed my driving test on the first attempt with a manual transmission, and all thanks to the best instructor Kristian at IN GEAR DRIVING SCHOOL. He is a great instructor who was very attentive to each lesson, created a comfortable and easy atmosphere in the car, explained everything in detail and prepared for the exam, he is really interested in teaching you to drive carefully and safely for your life. After lessons with him, you will feel confident on the road and will be ready for any situation on the road. Many thanks to the school and Kristian that I was able to do this, I’m very happy and highly recommend.
Joey Beacom
I Have to say I'm delighted to say I passed my exam I would not have done that without the help of kristian kristian is a excellent instructor I have to say and a gentleman I'm so lucky to have him as my instructor

Kathlyn Quinn
I have been learning how to drive with in gear since October. As a new driver I went in really nervous and have never drove before and I have to say that Paul has made me so comfortable and he is so patient and cares a lot about the people he is teaching. He makes the lessons really fun and I’ve learnt so much as someone that had no clue before my first lesson. I would recommend to anyone looking to learn 🙂
Tiago Jose Pereira
I had driving lessons with James from GEAR Driving Lessons Dublin, and he is absolutely fantastic! James is incredibly competent, attentive, and committed. He was always punctual and offered great flexibility with scheduling, making the entire process so much smoother.

His patience, cheerful personality, and positive attitude made a huge difference in my confidence. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my test with ease! More than just an instructor, James has become a great friend. If you’re looking for an exceptional and motivating driving instructor, James is the best choice!
Sandip Thapa
The best Driving Learning School in Ireland or even the world without a doubt. My instructor was Paul and he was absolutely amazing and funny. He brings so much enthusiasm and motivation to each lesson regardless of how he is feeling. He will always put the learner ahead of himself and always give you the 110%. He will make sure you learn how to drive safely. I haven't done my test yet but I will be going back to Paul before my exam to do some lessons/pre-tests with him. I recommend this company to anyone who wants to get a full driver's license.

Update: Finally did my test and passed!!! I cannot thank Paul enough for all his hardwork and dedication. Thank you again for everything Paul. Now my other two sisters are on route to passing as well. Best of luck to you Paul and this company. InGear is going to take over the world!!!
Kevin O' Toole
Best driving lessons in Dublin! I did my lessons with Paul and he shows an outstanding knowledge on the rules of the road, has impeccable driving skills, and probably the best teacher you could ever have. Would highly recommend to anyone trying to get their licence👍👍
Merim Dzaferagic
An excellent and seamless experience. James is an outstanding instructor and a true professional. His attention to detail is remarkable; he does not miss a single mistake drivers make. He creates a calm and comfortable atmosphere during lessons. If you pass his pre-test, you can be confident that you will succeed in the actual driving test.
Zeina Khattab
In Gear really helped me build the confidence I needed to pass my driving test. My instructor, Joyce, was absolutely amazing! She was patient, thorough, and made a real effort to ensure I understood everything. She even picked me up and dropped me off after my lessons, which was incredibly convenient. For my pretest, I had Dan, who gave me invaluable insight into what it feels like to be tested by an actual driving tester. Thanks to both of them, I passed on my first attempt. I highly recommend In Gear to anyone learning to drive!
Anurak Klintho
