Driving lessons in Dún Laoghaire

Lessons start at or near the RSA driving test centre on Pottery Road, so from the first lesson you are learning on the Deansgrange, Monkstown, Blackrock and Dún Laoghaire roads the test itself uses — not somewhere quieter that you will never be examined on.

Every lesson is with the same ADI-approved instructor in a dual-control car, covering EDT, reduced EDT, pretest, automatic and manual. Evenings and weekends are available. Ailbhe teaches across Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown and Wicklow; if you are unsure whether your area is covered, ask — the answer is quick.

About your instructor

I'm Ailbhe, an ADI approved driving instructor with many years of experience helping learners across Dún Laoghaire and Wicklow become confident, safe drivers.

My approach is simple: patience, clear communication, and building your confidence at your own pace. I understand that learning to drive can be stressful - whether you're a complete beginner, someone who's struggled with previous instructors, or a nervous driver who needs extra support. I've helped countless students overcome their anxiety and pass their test first time.

What sets my lessons apart is the attention to detail. After each lesson, I send you notes and tips so you can reinforce what you've learned. I explain not just what to do, but why - so driving becomes second nature rather than a list of rules to memorise.

Whether you need full EDT training, pretest preparation, or just a few refresher lessons to rebuild your skills, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

Why learn with me

Patient & Supportive

I never rush or raise my voice. Everyone learns at their own pace, and I adapt my teaching style to suit you - not the other way around.

Built for the first attempt

Lessons work through the manoeuvres and the roads the test actually uses. Proper preparation and building real skills - not just test tricks - gets results.

Notes After Every Lesson

I send you personalised notes and tips after each lesson so you can review and practice between sessions. This extra support makes a real difference.

Great With Nervous Drivers

Had a bad experience with a previous instructor? Feeling anxious about driving? I specialise in helping nervous learners build confidence and overcome their fears.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

"I'm that classic learner who doesn't have their own car and only drove in lessons. Ailbhe took me from someone who clearly couldn't drive to someone who absolutely can. After every lesson, I left feeling more capable and confident - then driving just clicked."
