Holmes Driving School Buffalo

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
