Fantastic experience: I loved my driving lessons with Graham and I will miss him. He’s friendly, so calm no matter what and lessons are flexible and convenient. He made all of the challenging parks so simple and it amazed me how easy it was to pass with him. I’m now happy and confident driving and would definitely recommend Graham. He has so much experience and knowledge and his prices are much better than the big schools too

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Graham enough. I was looking for a good driving instructor in Gungahlin and the reviews here speak for him. I had booked my lessons with Graham prior to giving my one-off driving test (to convert my international licence to a full licence here in ACT) which I passed with a 90+ score. The examiner didn't have anything to say to me in terms of improvement and it was all possible because of Graham's up-to-date knowledge, skills and understanding about the ACT road rules. His tricks of remembering the different manoeuvres is so easy to understand that I could never understand watching videos on YouTube. So I highly recommend him as an instructor if you genuinely want to learn and pass. All the best!

Hana Cogo 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Graham has been recommended to me by family and honestly he is the best. He is very kind and knowledgeable. I was very nervous in the beginning but with his guidance I felt I was improving with each lesson. I highly recommend Graham for anyone who is looking for a competent instructor who teaches the proper road rules.

Fantastic experience: Graham is the best in the business. He was the best choice for driving instructor for my neurodivergent son. My young fella is safe, confident and a great little driver. We will and have recommended Graham to numerous friends and will continue to do so. I look forward to Graham teaching my other children to drive too!

Fantastic experience: If only more stars are available I would be happy to give more than five stars. Graham is really a well experienced instructor. Even for just a few lessons, I have gained so much from him and have improved my driving skills. I would highly recommend him to anyone who’s working towards getting their license or even to just beginners who have no experience on driving at all. He would really teach you well. ☺️ Thanks so much Graham!

Fantastic experience: Went into the lessons feeling very confident with my driving but Graham helped me gain so much more confidence and taught me so much more about driving and road safety! He’s patient, very friendly, stress free lessons, well at explaining things, and all around a great driving instructor. Thank you for helping me get my P’s!!!

Fantastic experience: Graham from Independent Driving School is the absolute best. He taught me how to drive in 2004 and has just finished teaching my teenage son how to drive. Graham is patient , friendly , down to earth and very knowledgeable - he taught us both a lot and I am confident my son is now a safer driver after learning heaps of practical skills with Independent. Cannot recommend this driving school highly enough!

Independent Driving School

Thanks for the review. I feel good knowing I've helped you both become safe drivers. Take care.
