Holmes Driving School Buffalo

I recently had the pleasure of learning to drive under the expert guidance of Alan, and I must say, it was an experience beyond my expectations. From the first lesson to the day of my driving test, Alan proved to be more than just an instructor; he was a mentor, a cheerleader, and a confidence builder. What sets Alan apart is his unique teaching style. He doesnt just focus on the mechanics of driving; he ensures that you understand and are comfortable with every aspect of it. His patience is commendable...
Read full review, especially when dealing with challenging driving maneuvers. Each time I excelled or made progress, Alans singing and clapping were not just entertaining but incredibly motivating. It added a layer of fun to the learning process and helped ease any nerves. Alans commitment to his students is evident in how he tailors his teaching methods to suit individual needs. He doesnt just teach you to pass the test; he equips you with the skills and confidence to be a safe and responsible driver for life. Thanks to Alan, I passed my driving test with flying colors. But more importantly, I left with a sense of accomplishment and a skill that I will carry with me forever. If youre looking for a driving instructor who can provide a comprehensive learning experience in a fun and supportive environment, Alan is your go-to person. I cant recommend him highly enough!

Alan is the perfect trainer and his technique is so easy to understand. All the driving rules is at his finger tips and he explains things in well mannered way. I wish him best in his life.

Alan is a great instructor. He informs you about the best ways to clear the road test during the lessons. I started from the scratch and got the license with his guidance. He keeps you relaxed during your driving by telling funny stories. His prices are affordable and not like others. Highly recommend!

I had a great time learning to drive with Alan! Even when I didnt pass the test the first time, he stayed calm and helped me through it. Hes really funny, which made the lessons enjoyable. If you want a patient, funny instructor who makes you feel comfortable behind the wheel, hes the one to go to!

Mr Holmes is a great teacher/mentor/instructor I had 3 lessons with him and I finally passed my road test on the third try! If I wasn t for him i wouldn t have learned how to better operate a car.

First thing that comes to mind is he s very experienced. He can spot subtle mistakes and correct well with just a touch to the steering wheel. He also is very patient in teaching and is really outgoing and free and cool in attitude. No pressure around him. You can tell he s been doing this awhile; he knows all the driving testers and their personalities and all the small details for the test as if he memorized the testing rubric by heart. He himself is more than qualified to be a tester. Bonus is he accurately does mock tests which really helped out. He s a rare to find and a very good teacher.

Alan is an exceptional driving instructor who goes above and beyond the call of duty. Not only did he provide thorough driving lessons, but he also played a pivotal role in helping me overcome my nervousness behind the wheel and build the confidence I needed to succeed. His patient demeanor and encouraging attitude created a supportive learning environment that made all the difference in my journey to becoming a competent driver. I cannot recommend Alan highly enough to anyone seeking not just a driving instructor, but a true mentor who genuinely cares about their students success.

Alan has been an invaluable instructor for my daughter as she prepared for her driving test. One of the standout qualities about Alan is his patience, especially in dealing with my daughters anxiety. He created a calm and supportive environment that really helped her build confidence behind the wheel. His teaching style was effective and thorough. He not only covered the basics but also ensured she understood the nuances of driving in different conditions. Thanks to Alans guidance, my daughter was...
Read full review able to pass her road test on her first attempt, which speaks volumes about his teaching abilities. Ive noticed some reviews mentioning scheduling challenges, and Ill admit we faced similar issues. Life can be unpredictable, and its understandable that scheduling can be tricky at times. There were instances where Alan ran a bit behind schedule, but he always communicated promptly and honestly about any delays. Its important to remember that unforeseen circumstances, like a previous lesson running over, can impact timing. Overall, our experience with Alan was positive. Hes a skilled instructor who genuinely cares about his students progress and safety. Despite the scheduling hiccups, I would not hesitate to recommend Alan to others looking for a patient and effective driving instructor. If my daughter ever needs additional lessons or if we know someone in need of lessons, Alan will certainly be our first choice.

Alan is the best instructor ever! He is always patient. No matter how many mistakes you make or even if you dont feel confident, he will always boost your confidence. He is also super caring. Whenever he noticed that I was in a bad mood or nervous about driving, he always made jokes and kept the lessons cheerful. Alan was happier than me when I passed the road test as well! You can trust him. Overall the experience was wonderful. You cant ask for anything better.

Alan is a great instructor, I came to take the 7 lesson plan but decided to pay for two extra before my road test. For context, Ive never sat in the driver seat before taking his lessons, so everything was new to me, in figuring out the main controls of the car and driving in general. But Alans confidence and easy going nature made it easy for me to drive which led to me passing on my first attempt. There were times where if it werent for Alan, I wouldve gotten into some serious accidents, yet Alan...
Read full review stayed extremely calm and saw my learning experience under a growth mindset. Finding an instructor who is compassionate to teach his students, and go out of his way to pick and drop off his students was something I valued, and Alan provided just that.
