Holmes Driving School Buffalo

Alan is a great instructor, I highly recommend choosing him as an instructor. He points out your mistakes and tells you exactly what to expect on your test day. He ensures you remain disciplined even after practice and after your test. His commitment to your success without being too assertive is great.

I found Alan after searching for driving lessons because a lot of other places had a waitlist, and I am so glad that I did. He s a great teacher, incredibly patient and makes the experience enjoyable. I am going to miss his funny jokes and random singing because, thanks to him, I passed my test first try. He is incredibly supportive every step of the way and very accommodating. He knows how to prepare you for the test and he really helped me gain confidence on the road. His prices and packages are also very reasonable. I 100% recommend him for anyone wanting to learn how to drive!

I am very happy that I trusted the good reviews and chose Alan as my coach :D Took a 5-lesson package with him and passed the test first attempt. Alan is a very professional and experienced instructor. He explained things clearly and patiently and never got mad at me, no matter what, which boost my confidence a lot. Alan is also a cheerful person, making the lessons very enjoyable. BIG recommend!

Passed on my first try. Mr. Alan is one of the best instructors out there and he makes sure you get down with all the basics and pass the road test. Value for money and you feel cared for. I will miss his singing, jokes, and constant positive reinforcement. Thanks Mr. Alan!

Very good driving school, and amazing driving teacher, he breaks everything down into manageable steps!! :) He definitely increased my confidence while driving, and gives great and positive feedback! I also just passed my driving test today, thanks to him! Highly recommend for other new drivers trying to get their licenses!!

Alan is hands down the best driving instructor in Buffalo! His patience, knowledge, and exceptional guidance made my entire learning process a breeze. I was able to pass on the first try! Highly recommend if you want to pass your road test.

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.

I had a wonderful time with Alan. Alan is a great instructor for driving if you are looking for passing your road test as an international student. When I was nervous and made mistakes, Alan was always there to support me which kept me improving my driving. Hes a person who loves to talk about cool stories and never yelled at me. He made me feel comfortable during his lessons, unlike another instructor I ve had before.

Alan has an immaculate understanding of the specifics of the NYS road test. This understanding was really crucial in passing the road test. He was super patient and kept the lessons fun, which boosted my confidence in attempting the road test.

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.
