Hall driving school is by far the best in Scarborough, I had Iain as my instructor, his method of teaching is fun , innovative , ever-changing and engaging. Instead of just telling you what to do he has an ipad with pictures and maps of all the areas in you are likely to go and he shows you exactly where to go and what to do, and when things go wrong he can use the maps and diagrams to explain in detail how you can improve. He used his initiative to create little games to help solve my personal problems for example one time he would change my gear while I was driving and I had to react promptly to put it in the right gear, to help me understand how to correct myself when I got the wrong gear. I had a lesson with another instructor before Iain but he was quiet in the car, I felt quite left to my own devices and he wasn't as good as explaining things . I haven't seen any other instructors that write a review after every lesson you do with what we did , what I need to improve and what we are doing next lesson. At the start of every lesson there is time to read this which really helps us both understand where I am at and where to improve and speeds up the learning process. Lessons were always enjoyable and Iain is very sociable with a good sense of humor, he has been doing this for years and you can clearly tell! The car itself is lovely to drive , its small and easy to move with extra mirrors fitted so you can see exactly where you are in the road , it had notes on the door to remind you how to parallel park and under the bonnet the different bottles are identified to make show me tell me questions easier. It also has duel controls so Iain can help by changing gear or braking if needed. I did mock tests with Iain and they were brilliant , he used real marking sheets and explained every tick box very well to prepare me for my test. I felt confident going into my test because Iain had taught everything very well and I knew exactly what was going to happen. After starting with him in October, by February I passed my test first time having had one lesson a week ( hour and a half) . Cant recommend them enough , although I wasn't taught by Lynne I did do a mock test with her and she was lovely too.
