Leslie was great. I started to learn with a different school and found the
lessons stressful and really not enjoyable, but Leslie helped me to relax and
was calm and patient with his explanations. I ended up passing first time and
would definitely recommend him as a teacher. Nina Nicholl – 1 May 2017 I would
not have passed, if it were not for Leslie’s exceptional patience and
determination to ensure that I felt 100% confident going into my test. He was
always able to get me the time slots that I asked without a fuss! Would highly
recommend. Thank you Leslie! Ellie Robertson – 14 February 2017 Leslie @
Dunwalkin what can I say from the most anxious, unconfident person you will
probably come across! You are the most patient and nicest person I’ve ever had
the pleasure to meet and learn from. You worked around my working hours, you
taught me how to drive rather than just how to pass my test. You believed in me
when I didn’t believe in myself and the result a pass with 2 minors! I look
forward to our next adventure – motorway driving. To all the students who are
like me, I can not recommend Leslie enough. He is an absolute diamond. Caroline
McDonald – 18 January 2017 I passed my test first time! Leslie was a great
instructor who was very clear and concise when explaining things to me. He was
patient with me and was very calm and supportive. I would highly recommend
Leslie! Thanks again for all your help. Lewis Ajodani – 5 January 2917 After two
attempts at passing a test with another instructor, I approached Leslie as his
reviews were excellent. They did not lie! He has a really relaxed but clear
approach to teaching and made me feel really at ease in the car. He is really
logical about driving, and makes you prepare for the road and not just the test.
Having just passed yesterday (something I was starting to think would never be
possible!) I feel great. Highly recommend! Olivia Ainsworth – 25 November 2016
Dunwalkin’ Driving School is great! I already had a license from another county,
and unlike other driving schools I have contacted before, Dunwalkin’ Driving
School did not try to sell me more lessons than I needed. Leslie Muldoon was
patient, good at explaining, fair and fun to be around. He made an assessment of
my driving, estimated how many classes I will need, and I finally passed
straight away on my first try. Excellent. Connor Ki – 23 November 2016 Amazing
driving lessons great price and a professional service from start to finish
could have not done it without his help and commitment to me thanks again and
will miss the Tuesday chats. Steven Munro – 29 September 2016 Having originally
started driving with another instructor before I moved to Edinburgh, I found
Leslie’s approach to be much more thorough and patient. He took the time to
answer any questions and talk through alternative scenarios to those that were
encountered during lessons, as well as emailing additional resources to help my
understanding. All of this came together to give me the confidence to pass my
test and become an independent driver Nina Jeffrey – 26 July 2016 Leslie was a
fantastic instructor. Organising lessons was a doddle and he was very good at
changing lesson times if something came up. He was always patient, understanding
and helpful behind the wheel and I don’t think I would have passed first time
without him. Highly recommend. Stuart McGachan – 23 July 2016 I found Leslie at
Dunwalkin to be a very calm, helpful and engaging instructor. He always made me
feel at ease behind the wheel and helped my learn to drive in a relaxed and
enjoyable manner. I would fully recommend Dunwalkin to anyone wishing to learn
to drive the right way. Harry Smith – 7 June 2016 I would highly recommend
Dunwalkin Driving School for anyone learning to drive. Leslie was a great
instructor who made my lessons as helpful and stress-free as possible.
Definitely wouldn’t have been able to pass my test without his help. 10/10.
Scott Burrell – 18 March 2016 Having had a number of lessons with Dunwalkin’
Driving School and subsequently passed my test I would like to express my
gratitude to Mr Muldoon. The lessons were quick and easy to arrange, and Mr
Muldoon offered great flexibility, allowing me to book a lesson at a time and
date that was convenient. Further, the actual experience itself was excellent,
as Mr Muldoon was not only very informative and a fantastic instructor, but he
did so in a relaxed manner, which allowed me as a learner at the time to feel
more relaxed and confident about my driving, something which I think is very
important. All of the essential areas were covered extensively with Mr Muldoon,
but he was equally happy to spend some time on a specific area if I felt it
needed attention. Overall I am very pleased I used Dunwalkin’ Driving and I
would highly recommend them. Jamie Crerar – 25 February 2016 At the beginning I
was a fairly nervous and hesitant driver, but Leslie’s calm, supportive approach
to teaching put me at ease every lesson. I took just over 25 hours with Leslie
between my first lesson and my successful first driving test, and I can
confidently say that he made every hour worthwhile and always left me feeling
like I was making significant progress. Lessons took place in and around the
routes commonly taken during driving tests at my test center, so when the test
came I was fully prepared. His step-by-step techniques for carrying out
potentially tricky reversing maneuvers makes them seem easy in no time at all.
Leslie’s relaxing, approachable in-car atmosphere and excellent tuition has
developed me into a confident, safe driver, and I am glad I chose him as my
instructor; I would recommend him to anyone else looking to learn. Calum Hill –
31 December 2015 Leslie provided an excellent level of driving tuition that
prepared me not only for all aspects that are covered in the practical driving
test (which I passed first time) but for likely situations that could arise in
my driving beyond that. He was an extremely patient instructor who always had a
calming influence in spite of my nervous driving and sometimes inexplicable
mistakes! The atmosphere in the car was always friendly, with good natured
banter to lighten the mood. He was also very accommodating and flexible to fit
driving lessons around my work and social life, including on his supposed days
off…! Could not recommend him highly enough! Elliot Reid – 8 October 2014 I
hadn’t driven since passing my test several years ago and was a bit nervous
about taking a car out on my own. Having a few lessons really helped to bost my
confidence and helped with the areas where I was lacking a bit of experience –
driving on motorways, complex junctions and parking. >Leslie was really patient
with me and helped me get to a stage where I can happily take a car out on my
own. I’ve finally got my freedom back! Ashley Campbell – 15 August 2014 He has
been my instructor since last September and today, I have finally passed! If it
were not for Leslie’s relentless patience and understanding as well as his
reliability – I never would have gotten through it! Not only is Leslie an
amazing instructor, he adapts his learning style to suit you and helped me to
understand not only how to be a safe and knowledgeable driver but also Leslie
helped me understand myself and how I learn much better. It has been a long
journey (no pun intended) and although I am partially sad that it has come to an
end, I know that I have the confidence and ability to be a great (and safe)
driver. I would highly recommend Leslie (and have done already) to my friends
and family. I cannot thank Leslie enough for everything he has taught me. Thanks
and with best wishes, Anna Sacco – 2 July 2014 Leslie is a fantastic driving
instructor. From the first lesson you feel relaxed and comfortable as he talks
you slowing and carefully through what you will be doing and how to properly
complete the task. Leslie is extremely patient and calm at all times which rubs
off on you!! The atmosphere in the car is always friendly so you keep calm and
really enjoy your lessons! Leslie not only prepares you to pass your test, but
takes the time to make sure you are capable of coping with all manner of driving
conditions and scenarios, which makes you are more confident driver. L Cameron –
4 March 2014 I set myself a goal of learning to drive by a certain point and
Leslie helped me achieve that goal. His approach to teaching is second to none.
Not only does he teach you the skills to drive, but he also prepares you for the
theory and practical tests by asking you questions and making you aware of
potential hazards. And, he teaches you how to become one of the better drivers
on the road. He picks up on your body language and your mind-set, and explains
why you are making mistakes; and he breaks down the more complicated situations,
step by step, to help you overcome any issues with your driving. I couldn’t
recommend him highly enough. E Crossan – 12 Dec 2013 Excellent service for
money! Very thorough and every single thing is explained well. Got me to pass on
my first attempt! Would recommend to anyone looking for a driving instructor.
Ben Davidson – 12 Dec 2013 I got in contact with Dunwalkin’ when I had two
disappointments with other driving schools. When I started with Leslie he put me
at ease straight away. After my first lesson with him he knew exactly what my
weak points were and he built on them week by week to the point that I passed my
test on 14/08/13. When you have leslie as a driving instructor you know that you
have the right instructor, he is friendly and a very patient person, I should
know when he had to put up with me and my mirrors, well should I say, the lack
of using them!! All that said thanks again Leslie for getting me up to standard.
Colin Bruce – 15 Aug 2013 The instructor was excellent, calm and supported me
despite being very nervous at times. Easy to organise a lesson and prices very
good. If anybody was going to get me though my test it was Dunwalkin’! Lewis
Henderson – 17 June 2013 I started my driving lessons in October 2012 with
Leslie and within the first lesson he was successful in teaching me the
functions of the car and how do drive properly and not like in a video which I
thought it was like at the time! He was able to do this through a mixture of it
has to be said extreme patience, enthusiasm and the ability to put up with my
constant questioning and answer them in such an effective way that it made me
instantly more confident in my ability to drive. Leslie was a great teacher and
it was thanks to him that I passed my practical test first time with only four
minor faults! He was also extremely accommodating with the times of when the
driving lessons took place and was flexible to my timings. I would very happily
recommend him to anyone and hope that you are wise enough to make the choice of
Leslie as your instructor! Alain Archibald I started my driving lessons at a
comparatively old age with Dunwalkin. Throughout my learning journey, Leslie has
offered a very professional, patient and enjoyable learning experience. He was
particularly patient with my recurring mistakes and gave excellent practical
pointers on how to avoid making them (especially on roundabouts!). He is very
adept at removing stress and anxiety in new learners, especially those past
their teens, and knows how to identify the root cause of learners’ errors and
correct them. Coupled with excellent value for money, I would certainly
recommend Dunwalkin to anyone looking to learn from scratch and reach a very
high and safe standard of driving. Very grateful for all the training! Dan
Blagojevic Leslie is a fantastic driving instructor. He is calm, patient,
encouraging with his driving lessons and great at getting you past all your
driving anxieties. During the driving lessons he simplified things where I
complicated them, he clarified where I when I was confused and continually made
me aware of my progress. As learner, I used to dread getting into the drivers
seat but leslie ‘s positive teaching has given me such confidence in my driving
and not only that, I enjoy it too! Vikki R Leslie was a great instructor. He
allowed me to take things at my own pace but was not afraid to push me when he
knew I was capable. As Leslie was very approachable I felt at ease speaking with
him If I ever had any concerns over my driving. Learning with Dunwalkin suited
me very well as Leslie was always very flexible in our timetable as my work
hours would change week to week. I would highly recommend the Dunwalkin driving
school as you are being taught skills to make you a good and conscientious
driver for life and not just to pass a test. Sophia M Leslie is a fantastic
driving instructor. From the first lesson Leslie helped me feel calm, relaxed
and safe in the car, not an easy task with a very nervous learner. Leslie was
always friendly, approachable, happy to answer any questions and flexible if
lessons needed to be changed. His sense of humour, patience (of a saint!!!) and
calmness made each lesson an enjoyable experience and helped me develop my
confidence. Leslie’s approach is very much to teach safe driving for life, not
just to get you through the test. His ‘coaching’ style enabled me to learn safe
driving skills at a deeper level than surface learning which could be quickly
forgotten. I feel confident that I now have the skills to drive safely on my
own. I passed my test first time with 2 minor faults. I’ve already signed up for
Pass Plus with Dunwalkin. My son has Asperger’s Syndrome and I’ve asked Leslie
to teach him to drive as I believe he has the patience, understanding and skill
to help him to become a confident and safe driver. I would highly recommend him
to anyone looking for driving lessons in a positive learning environment. Thank
you so much Leslie you are a star. Jane M I found Leslie to be a calm,
controlled presence in the car and had a firm grasp of all aspects required to
pass the “practical driving test”. In addition, Leslie was approachable and
honest, providing an accurate assessment of my skills. He accurately identified
what I needed to improve in order to pass the test and also to become a good
overall driver. Peter H I was a ‘late’ learner. Into my thirties before I
plucked up the courage to learn to drive. And a pretty nervous individual into
the bargain! But thanks to Leslie’s tuition and approach I quickly overcame my
fears. He didn’t just teach me to drive, he gave me the confidence to drive (and
not let mistakes get me down). And I passed first time! Colin M I passed my
driving test first time with the help of a friendly and supportive instructor. I
would fully recommend ‘Dunwalkin Driving School’ to anyone ready to hit the
roads! Emma P You gave Alasdair the understanding of handling a car and driving
with confidence and an awareness of other drivers. You made him aware of his
limitations and keen to build up his driving skills. You encouraged him to
undertake Pass Plus after passing his driving test (first time!) to make him
safe as possible on the roads. You gave me the courage to take him out to
practice driving.
