Having Chris as my driving instructor for the last year or so has been a truly great experience, Chris is extremely capable in how he conducts his lessons explaining everything clearly and always staying calm and patient with me even when I did something stupid or make a mistake . As well as being a great instructor Chris is a genuine great guy who is always got great chat and banter making the lessons fun and something to genuinely look forward to each week. I truly couldn’t recommend Chris and Cone Heid more as your driving instructor and I really will miss our lessons together.Posted on Google
Rebecca Millar21 days agoI am so so so grateful to have had Chris from Coneheid Driving School as my driving instructor for the past year and a half!!! He has been a fantastic driving instructor and so patient with me, never once losing his temper, explaining concepts and the rules of the road very clearly, and providing great chat throughout our lessons. He kept me focused and really helped me feel comfortable on the roads as well as passing my driving test first time!! I could not recommend Chris as a driving instructor more! So sad I won't get to see him weekly for our lessons anymore! 10000/10!Posted on Google
John Bisset35 days agoI recently passed my driving test and honestly couldn’t recommend Chris highly enough. I’d had some bad experiences with driving lessons in the past, so finding the right instructor was really important to me. Chris was completely different. He was incredibly patient, calm and supportive throughout, and always made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. One of the things that really sets Chris apart is how good he is at understanding why you’re making a particular mistake. Rather than just telling you what you’ve done wrong, he looks at things from the learner’s perspective, works out what’s causing the problem and explains it in a way that actually makes sense. That made a huge difference to both my driving and my confidence. He never made me feel pressured or frustrated when I got something wrong, and lessons always felt constructive. You can tell he genuinely cares about making you a safe and confident driver, rather than simply getting you through the test. After my previous experiences, I’m really glad I found Chris, and passing my test recently was a brilliant feeling. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a patient, knowledgeable and genuinely excellent driving instructor.Posted on Google
Keiran Agnew58 days agoLearning to drive is one of those life events that can be pretty stressful, with you dreading the weekly lesson as you dive deeper and deeper outside your comfort zone. But learning with Cone Heids, that was never the case. It was such a relaxed environment and honestly a pretty fun way of learning to drive. Chris is so attentive and considerate to individual driving styles his years of experience and well earned merit shine through. I have a newfound appreciation for the people skills needed to teach someone to drive. He was a master at keeping you calm and focused in a somewhat stressful and unknown environment. There was always time for a joke and a laugh, and he balanced that well with knowing when it was time to crack the whip. Because his understanding of the road and his ability to convey safe driving practices was also second to none. Chris was also very much on the ball with scheduling and managing availability towards test deadlines. He was firm but completely fair in when he thought you were ready to sit the test. This culminated in me passing my test first time with only two minors, at one of the UK's hardest test centres. I went into my test with the usual exam jitters, but thanks to Chris I was cool, calm and controlled knowing we had put the work in. People say it's entirely luck whether you get a good or bad driving instructor, but I'm telling you, if you go with Cone Heids, you take that luck out of the equation. You'll have the highest calibre of learning with a bit of patter thrown in too. Chris, it was an absolute pleasure, mate.+0Posted on Google
caitlin mellon80 days agoChris is amazing at what he does, really puts you at ease and makes you feel capable and encouraged even when you make mistakes. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone!Posted on Google
James Black85 days agoI've just passed my driving test and this is thanks to all of Chris' lessons. His teaching style suited me perfectly - both being patient with mistakes while also being clear when mistakes are made and how to learn from these. Chris focuses on turning you into a good driver rather than simply someone who scrapes a pass and this has made me feel much safer in my first drives without him. Highly recommendPosted on Google
Ella Paez-Bowen87 days agoI would highly recommend Chris, my flatmates and I all passed first time with him! He taught me how to be a safe, relaxed and confident driver. If you are beginner, returning to driving or simply need a refresher, Cone Heid Driving School is the one to go with!+0Posted on Google
Rachel Henery96 days agoI honestly couldn’t reccomend Chris enough! Not only is he an exceptional and patient teacher, but a genuinely lovely person who is a joy to chat to every week. He made learning to drive a pleasure and was extremely accommodating and understanding along the way. Not only did I pass my driving test but I feel totally comfortable and confident driving thanks to Chris. I don’t think I could’ve had a better experience with any other instructor. Thanks Chris!Posted on Google
Tom Pickles121 days agoAs someone who waited til their 40s to learn how to drive, I don't think I could have asked for any better than Chris as an instructor - learning to drive doesn't feel like it should be a one size fits all process, and Chris was a perfect fit for me. Chris was simultaneously very relaxed & easy to get on with (pretty essential with how many hours we spent in a car together!) but also very focused on my individual learning and always keeping track of areas that needed a bit more work. He was flexible, open, generous with his time & always encouraging throughout the process, and also very switched on in terms of time navigating the very difficult test booking system. (He ended up facilitating a swap between me and another of his students to get my test brought forward). I cannot recommend him enough!Posted on Google
Leo Smith132 days agoCannot recommend Cone Heid enough. Chris is fun, honest and organised. Went into my test feeling prepared and calm so passed first time. He's taught most of my pals and we all recommend him!Posted on Google
Alex C186 days agoChris is a patient and relaxed guy to learn to drive with, which is what I was looking for in an instructor. He keeps the balance right between keeping the lessons light hearted but also making sure you're learning all the essential parts of driving. He makes sure to assess where to improve at the end of every lesson and pushes you to keep getting better, which inspires some much needed confidence when on the roads. It can be daunting getting started on your driving lessons, Chris helped me to chill out and take it one step at a time throughout the whole process. Highly recommend Coneheid!Posted on Google
Eoin238 days agoEnded learning with Chris with my license and as a confident driver ready to go anywhere. Top guy as well, I'll miss the lessons!Posted on Google
Scott McCreaddie322 days agoHighly recommend Chris for driving lessons. He is a very calm and patient instructor which put me in good stead for passing.Posted on Google
Kyrin Bryony Mills414 days agoUpdate: Been driving with Chris for over a year, what with test waiting times being long and being a Slightly Stubborn Learner! He is patient, hilarious (I rib him without mercy) and passionate about teaching the best practices to his learners. I fully and completely recommend Coneheid Driving School, you couldn't get a more reasonable and thorough experience. His materials for teaching and his personal experience are excellent aids to learning. All my main struggles, we found creative ways to learn and adapt, to help me think faster while on the road, to be a safe and confident driver. Passed this week with only 1 minor! Huzzah! Original review: Been driving with Chris for over two months and I must say he's an Excellent instructor, great personality, cheerful and passionate about his job and being there for his learners. He is fantastically concise with feedback and improvement, without any fuss or hastle, always constructive and generally fun natured. It's a feel good, easy learning environment. His lesson plans and structure make total sense and progress fluidly one to the other, with a lot of personalised content that is valuable and progresses learning. His keen eye of what's going on, where progress needs to be made or where there's more work and consideration needed is On Point. His awareness and ability to assist when it becomes necessary to intervene is impeccable, with low pressure on the learner, even when they're sweating and stressing and erroring, or trying to breathe deeply. His head is cool, calm, [Insert emoji of traffic cone] and I always feel fully supported in the car with him. Just the perfect balance of hands on and hands off teaching approach. [Hands stay on the wheel!] I can't find fault, I highly recommend, and believe fully that he is helping to release safe, knowledgeable and competent drivers onto the road.+0Posted on Google
Zachary Pearl458 days agoIf you're wanting a driving instructor in Glasgow, Chris is THE guy. I started learning in Jan 2025 and just got a first time pass in August this year. His car is very good to lean in and he knows everything about the roads of Glasgow. Learning to drive is ultimately quite stressful but after giving me all the skills in the car that I needed, Chris taught me how to deal with what was going on around me and how to respond confidently and calmly. I never felt like he just used the same ways to teach me like everyone else but really payed attention to me / my mistakes, what was causing them and tailored my lessons to fix them. He doesn't just get you to pass your test but for the day when you are driving alone. He's very friendly and always down for a laugh (you've got to laugh sometimes). Use your heid, choose Cone HeidPosted on Google
izzi triggs537 days agoIt takes a lot of time to learn to drive so you need to make sure you like your driving instructor, and Chris was a lovely person to spend so many hours in a car with! Chris has great chat and is so good at balancing keeping it fun but also taking it seriously when it’s crunch time. He was very good at making me feel calm as I am a very anxious person and also prioritizing and making sure I got enough hours of driving done in the final preparation stage before my test, he does the same for all of his students. 10/10 would recommend. Overall learning to drive with Chris was a fantastic experience.+0Posted on Google
Shian_Denovan538 days agoRecently passed my test first time after learning with Cone Heid. Chris is a brilliant instructor, he's got great chat and is a funny guy, which made the lessons enjoyable. He is also pretty laid back and doesn't get stressed when mistakes are inevitably made, which made learning a lot less painful than it otherwise could have been! And he was pretty flexible and accommodating (which I needed as a freelancer whose schedule sometimes changes). It was a great experience learning with Cone Heid, and I would definitely recommend!Posted on Google
Tom Peckett560 days agoChris is a great instructor and also a great guy who’s easy to talk to. He’s very engaged and always aims to get the best out of his students. After switching from a different instructor I was impressed with the service that Chris provides from day one. Happy to say I passed first time and I’m very grateful to Chris for going above and beyond!Posted on Google
Ash Fox581 days agoLearning to drive is, objectively, awful. It's exhausting, mentally and physically, and that's before you've even tried to park. There's not much that your instructor can do about the state of the roads these days, but the instructor you choose does still matter. Over the years, I've had five driving instructors. Four of them were varying degrees of useless. Then I met Chris. He's the only one who made the experience tolerable, which is very impressive. He's a pretty good egg. Unlike everyone else, Chris takes an active role in the process, pushing you through the curriculum and making sure you hit specific goals, so you’re more likely to pass your test first time. He’s very patient, always up for a giggle, and by the end of it all, I feel like I’ve come out of it with a mate as well as a licence. I have a lot of good things to say about the lad, but you should find out for yourself. We don’t do these things because they’re easy, we do them because we thought they’d be easy, and now we care too much to quit. Use your heid, choose Cone Heid!+0Posted on Google
Jennifer Louise702 days agoPassed 1st time with Chris... Technically 🤣 I sat my 1st test at 17 (failed) then didn't pursue lessons for 20 years. Any anxiety I had about learning as an older learner was quickly gone within my 1st couple of lessons. Such a good teacher, occasionally hilarious & very patient. Came recommended to me and I can't recommend enough!Posted on Google
Russell Mclachlan718 days agoFriendly and easy to learn with. Will make sure you are 100% ready for the road before you sit your test. Couldn't ask for better instructor.Posted on Google
Jake Lee719 days agoChris is a brilliant instructor, I couldn't recommend him enough. Took me from not knowing what a clutch was to a first time pass, gave me loads of confidence in understanding the roads and was super accomodating and great at communicating outside of lessons. If you want to not only pass your test, but become a great driver and have hours of decent chat then Chris is your man 👍Posted on Google
Coyle775 days agoI can’t recommend Chris at Cone Heid Driving School highly enough! Thanks to his expert guidance, I passed my driving test on the first attempt with just 1 minor (and honestly, I question even that one!). Chris is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also funny and down to earth, making each lesson both informative and enjoyable. His strong personality is exactly what’s needed for a role like this, ensuring every session is productive and engaging. I’ll definitely miss our Thursday lessons together. Thanks again, Chris!Posted on Google
Rhona Mchugh818 days agoWould've rated higher than 5 stars! Highly recommend Cone Heid Driving School. Chris made my 17yr old daughter feel at ease from the 1st lesson. Passed 1st time with only 2 minors. Excellent driving instructor who made her feel confident in her ability to drive. Chris has a great personality so she loved her lessons every week and looked forward to his humour. Will definitely recommend Chris to everyonePosted on Google
Jack Wallace826 days agoI recommend Cone Heid Driving School.Posted on Google
John Dorgan840 days agoIf you are looking for an extremely caring, calm and patient instructor to pass your Driving Test, then I would look no further. Chris was superbly patient, calm and mindful of my limited experience driving. When starting, I had never driven a car before or was aware of just how challenging and difficult it would be. Can in point, I could barely turn the wheel without almost panicking or wanting to give up. fats forward a couple of months and I have just passed my Driving Test at Shieldhall in Glasgow. Chris has been so accommodating and flexible in his ability to adapt and change lesson types/ styles and even timings to cater for my various needs. I couldn't recommend Cone Head driving school enough. Not alone is he just a decent, hard-working and just fun guy to speak to, I know if it wasn't for Chris, I wouldn't have been able to have passed.Posted on Google
Rebekah Woodier866 days agoExcellent instructor! Would highly recommend.Posted on Google
John Watson872 days agoChris was a great instructor. He has a very precise and thorough way of teaching which doesn’t just help you pass a test but will make you and excellent driver in the real world. Excellent patter too!Posted on Google
Rachel Anderson909 days agoAfter having a bad experience with my previous instructor being very nasty blunt and making driving difficult, I decided to book with Chris. He has helped me with my lessons, correct corrections which lead to me passing my test today! He is the most easy going quick witted instructor going! Learning in a relaxed, yet constructive environment couldn’t say a bad thing about him honestly. Complete praise. So helpful and patient works with you to achieve your goal couldn’t thank him enough and gives out more knowledge and experience than any other instructor would, goes above and beyond. Get booking! Thanks again xPosted on Google
Jennifer Walker947 days agoI recently passed my driving test with Chris and recommend him as a driving instructor. I started out as a complete newbie and there was points early on in the process where I felt like I was never going to be able to drive but he got me through it. From chatting to him it seems like if you are a natural driver he will get you through to the test efficiently, if you are like me and quite nervous and need more time he knows how to make you comfortable while still making progress. One of the most important things though is that he is a pleasant person, quite funny and easy to get along with which I think is very important in a driving instructor as you spend a lot of time together. Now that I have passed he has been helpful in providing advice in my early days of driving independently which is also helpful. I'd say I will miss the lessons but honestly I am glad to have my saturday mornings back.Posted on Google
malcolm todd972 days agoCouldn’t recommend Cone heid enough. Chris made the whole process a joy, and a part of the week I will miss now I’ve passed.Posted on Google
Rob Cannings994 days agoChris was a fantastic instructor, start to finish. Methodical, dedicated, and really thoughtful about individual learning styles and characters. I just passed my test this morning, first time with only four minors. Incredibly grateful to Chris for not making it a painful process in any way. Highly recommend!Posted on Google
Maria Laura Belli994 days agoI've had lessons with Chris for the past few months and it's been brilliant. Chris is very methodical and patient, and he manages to keep a relaxed atmosphere (it really helps for the driving nerves!). I really liked how we always made sure to correct any mistakes that came up in the lessons, while the use of videos and pictures was also super helpful to clarify any doubts. Passed first time and already been pointing people who are looking to start lessons in his direction. Cheers Chris see you on the road! :DPosted on Google
Reiss Roony1056 days agoWas very patient with me, responded fast and was flexible and concise.+0Posted on Google
Deej Ahmed1069 days agoAfter using a previous driving instructor who wasn't very good I was nervous to start lessons again with a new instructor, however Chris has been brilliant. Chris is patient and teaches you driving skills that will come in use beyond your driving test. I passed first time with Chris and can't recommend him enough as an instructor.Posted on Google
Charlotte Martin1106 days agoChris is an excellent driving instructor, his style of teaching was paramount to my driving test success. At all times he was organised, informative and engaging. I would recommend Cone Heid to any keen learner driver... Thank you Chris!Posted on Google
Raina1122 days agoChris has been the best driving instructor I have had. He is patient and makes sure you are confident in what you are doing. I passed my driving test on my first try which I couldn’t have done without his help. He is also very friendly which made me feel even safer whilst driving and learning with him. 10/10 recommend!!!!Posted on Google
Michael McFadden1129 days ago5/5 service, has a great way of teaching and making you feel comfortable while doing so, could not recommend the guy morePosted on Google
Nour Hamza1130 days agoChris is a great methodical instructor! I had many lessons with him and he was so helpful with me trying always to help me and other candidates do things the right way not just passing the test. He is not just a friendly and helpful instructor, but he is also a sooo patient person. He was honestly so patient with me as he tried to help me solve problems and fix mistakes as much as he can. He encouraged me to overcome my fears when upset and disappointed as well. I passed my first driving test today and I am so happy and satisfied. Highly recommended 👌 Thank you Chris for being patient with me 😄 really thanks for everything, I am so grateful 🙏Posted on Google
Seddik Berkouk1168 days agoThanks for all the good times and good driving hints over time. Would definitely recommend!Posted on Google
aidan wright1173 days agoWould really recommend taking lessons with Chris, enjoyed every lesson and cant thank him enough for his help.Posted on Google
Anna W1200 days agoThe best driving instructor in town! Chris knows his trade, he's an excellent teacher, methodical, patient and will go above and beyond to adjust to your personal circumstances and abilities. From being extremely worried about driving, struggling with the simplest maneuvers, with a complete lack of confidence and genuine fear of being on a road, to passing on my first attempt with only 4 minors I can say with full confidence that I could not do it with any other instructor. Chris made sure that I not only passed with flying colours but I actually enjoy driving now. His great banter and approachable personality made lessons just a pleasure, he's such a great guy! I cannot recommend Chris highly enough! 🚗💨🧡Posted on Google
Tanya Kaushal1222 days agoCone Heid driving school has been the best decision! Absolutely methodical, practical to approach and so friendly ! The actual test was quite a chill scene to get through because of Chris !! I recommend this driving school most definitely!!Posted on Google
Rhiann McAlister1234 days agoI passed my test years ago but hadn’t driven for ages and was really nervous on the roads. My anxiety was through the roof, but after some refresher lessons with Chris my perspective has completely changed. His teaching style is brilliant and, despite my anxiety and nerves, his attitude made me feel really comfortable, safe, and helped me build my confidence again. One thing that’s helped me the most is learning to not panic when I make a mistake, evaluating the situation afterwards, and knowing how to do better next time. He’s a great teacher but also a real laugh and it was lovely to get to know him over our lessons. I’d recommend him to anyone wanting to learn from scratch or looking to build confidence. I honestly thought I’d be too nervous to ever drive again, so I’m really appreciative to Chris for helping me.Posted on Google
Rebecca Travers1251 days agoI started taking lessons with Chris after an almost 7 year break from learning to drive and an unsuccessful (and pretty awful) test experience. Chris put me completely at ease from the get go and took me through the process really methodically, making learning a much smoother process. I didn't dread my lessons and to my surprise actually enjoyed the experience! On test day I felt really prepared which helped with my nerves, and I am over the moon to have passed! Would highly recommend him to anyone new or looking to return to learning - he's a great guy and great instructor!Posted on Google
Darryn McGaw1270 days ago10/10, would recommend. I had a couple of lessons with other driving instructors, and they all felt like they were just letting you use their car without much input. Chris, however, was the first instructor to actually teach me how to drive. I wasn’t just taught how to pass the test, I was taught how to drive, safely & confidently, wherever I wanted the day after my test. Chris is easy going and easy to get along with. He let me make mistakes, and then helped me learn from them. After a short period on the waiting list, I had weekly and consistent lessons without a problem.Posted on Google
Billiard Room Sessions1299 days agoChris is an excellent instructor, has a set of rules and processes that will see anyone with little to no driving experience, become a competent driver on the road! You will pass your driving test under Chris.Posted on Google
Andrew McGuire1326 days agoMy driving instructor was always very helpful and very patient. Couldn’t recommend Cone Heid enough!Posted on Google
Pablo Avendano1338 days agoI had some previous driving experience and two failed driving tests before coming to Chris for help. In just four lessons, Chris was able to help me retake my third driving test and pass with only two minor faults. Chris's teaching methods are unparalleled. He provides a detailed explanation of every aspect of driving and takes the time to identify your strengths and weaknesses, allowing him to tailor his approach to your individual needs. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to learn how to drive or those who may have struggled.Posted on Google
Katie V1340 days agoChris is an excellent driving instructor. As I had not driven for over ten years I recently took some refresher lessons with Chris. My original instructor years ago was great but Chris is more proactive and takes it up a gear 😉 teaching wise. He has great communication skills and is super organised, giving pointers at the start of a lesson and feedback both during lessons and later, when he puts in writing what you should be working on, when practicing outside of lessons. He utilises many different ways to explain concepts, which proved very helpful. Chris makes things clear for you, removing those grey areas and he never makes you feel stupid. He has a relaxed manner but explains clearly what you should and shouldn't be doing. I can't praise him enough.Posted on Google
Leon Lawrence1384 days agoJust recently passed with cone Heid driving and couldn’t recommend them more. Chris has been a great instructor from the get go, not only is he a friendly guy but he’s also really thorough and great at talking you through everything. I started lessons with some experience, having done a few tests, however driving in Glasgow was new to me and naturally I wasn’t confident on the the roads. Straight away Chris was pointing out ways to improve my driving and made me feel at ease in the car. Previously with my last instructor I didn’t enjoy lessons, usually feeling anxious before them, but now I looked forward to and enjoyed lessons. After a failed test attempt before Christmas and a few weeks off, I got back to lessons in January, using Testi we managed to book a test within a weeks time and I passed that driving test. Can’t thank Chris enough for the help he’s provided, you can tell he clearly cares about what he teaches. Not only does he teach the basic ability of driving but he also teaches you the mindset and thought processes required to safely and successfully drive. Would definitely recommend.Posted on Google
Eleanor Mackie1389 days agoChris is a great driving instructor who I'd recommend to anyone! I had been trying to find instructor for a while when I came across cone hwid driving and after having several negative experiences with instructors, Chris' lessons were a godsend! I have ADHD, so driving had always been a challenge for me as I struggle to focus sometimes, however Chris' calm and patient manner and easy to understand instructions made things finally click into place! Passed first time! Definitely recommend Cone Heid driving, especially if you are an anxious driver or have learning difficulties. Chris is also great craic which makes the process enjoyable!Posted on Google
Martyn Coyle1390 days agoI started my lessons with Chris after having not done a lesson in over 5 years. I was apprehensive about starting back but was quickly put at ease after my first lesson. Chris is extremely patient and approachable compared to my previous instructors. The two hour lessons allowed me to make the most of newly taught skills and I felt I progressed far quicker than I did with 1 hour lessons. If there is particular areas that I was not so confident in e.g. a particular junction or a manoeuvre, Chris would ensure I understand it fully by dedicating time until I felt comfortable tackling it myself. Chris also gave me guidance on how to prepare and book my test via the cancellation route. This meant the long back logs were not an issue - once I was test ready, I had my test booked and passed within 1 week! I cannot recommend Chris enough. He really makes sure you are confident and most importantly enjoy driving. Thanks again!Posted on Google
Shannan Foylan1392 days agoChris is an amazing instructor, can't recommend him highly enough! He's very thorough with all aspects of teaching and is very patient and understanding of nervous/anxious drivers. I really enjoyed learning to drive with Chris and all of our mad chats!Posted on Google
Daisy-Kay Moore1396 days agoHe's got good chat, very perceptive as to what was causing me anxiety and gave good tips on how to overcome it based on me as an individual. Very good at explaining things clearly. I passed first time with him so I highly recommend.Posted on Google
Liam Comaskey1403 days agoReally good experience learning with cone heid excellent driving instructorPosted on Google
Megan Kenna1431 days agoHad an amazing experience learning with Chris, he is an excellent instructor and so down to earth, patient with brand new learners who have no driving experience starting off like myself and his methods of teaching are so clear and easy to follow. It doesn’t matter how long it takes you to learn, he’ll stick by you and send you great resources along the way outside of lessons, his prices are more affordable compared to competing driving schools which is great for students like me. Without him being my instructor there is no way I could have passed first time today! Thank you Chris for just being the best driving teacher oot there!Posted on Google
Mariannah Met1432 days agoChris is so good with breaking it all down and simplifying things, but the best thing about him is that he identifies your problems - why they come up or reoccur - and helps you find your own way to solve them instead of just telling you this is how you need to do it. So it’s a very personalised experience of learning to drive the right way in your own way. Amazing guy, great chats and banter - and he honestly goes above and beyond to accommodate you and sticks to the plan. 10/10 guy!Posted on Google
Lewis Grimmer1439 days agoGot in touch due to the recommendation of a friend and was definitely not disappointed! Great driving instructor plus a friendly guy with great chat, thanks to his teaching methods and resources managed to pass first time, would recommend to anyone looking to learn to drive in Glasgow!Posted on Google
Marley Torrance1448 days agoI truly cannot recommend Chris enough! He is patient and makes learning to drive fun and engaging. Always great conversations and helped keep me motivated towards my goal. Also comforting to know that his support won’t stop now I’ve passed my test - always there for any questions or extra support required. I have and always will recommend Chris to anyone who will listen!Posted on Google
Del Del1455 days agoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
I will be the first person to give one star. Firstly, this instructor has only 37 visitors who have given 5 stars, which is very suspicious, while in other schools there are a lot of visitors who gave different ratings. It is logical to conclude that hardly anyone will go to this driving school. Secondly, he does not have his own website, from where you can get complete information. Thirdly, when you write to this instructor on WhatsApp, an auto-response answers you, and in the answer he writes the price, which is very strange and makes you understand that the main thing for him is to charge you with money. Fourthly, the prices are more expensive than in other driving schools. Fifth, when you write your question on his WhatsApp, do not expect any answer, he will simply ignore your question. And finally, when you write to him, the auto-reply tells you that the instructor is very busy and if you write your address to him, he will write you an answer if he sees fit, i.e. if he wants, he will answer; if he does not want, he will not answer. So that's the reason I gave it one star. Being a driving instructor requires a lot of things, not just talking about how much it will cost.Posted on Google
George Chappell1467 days agoI passed my driving test 9 years ago and have had very little driving experience since, with my last drive around 5 years ago, and so I was certainly in need of some refresher lessons. I was recommended Chris (Cone Heid Driving School) by a friend and so contacted him for an initial lesson. In our first lesson Chris asked which areas of driving I wanted to focus on, which was pretty much everything, and he devised a logical lesson/progression plan. Our lessons started from the fundamentals of car operation and progressed onto harder topics such as motorways, bad weather and night driving. I completed five two-hour lessons with Chris and was really pleased with my progress under his careful tuition; from struggling to pull in on a straight road to feeling confident on motorways and with parking! Chris is an excellent driving instructor. He is friendly, calm and structures his lessons very effectively. One of the things I particularly liked was his modern approach to lessons, which includes clear explanations of roundabouts/lane changes using the iPad and his own set of instructional videos which complement the lessons very well. Another point that I hadn’t thought of when looking for an instructor is that the Cone Heid Driving School car has start-stop technology and parking sensors, which weren’t common whilst I was learning to drive, and I found it really valuable to have the opportunity to gain experience using these. In summary, I would recommend Cone Heid Driving School to anyone!Posted on Google
Russell Rothwell1495 days agoAfter bad experiences with instructors in the past it was great starting with Coneheid. Chris was a brilliant instructor who lead me to a first time pass even under time pressure from my work. Really nice guy with great resources to prepare you for the test- would highly recommend!Posted on Google
Nuala McQuillan1514 days agoChris is a very competent, patient instructor. Relaxed, and easy going lessons, flexible with lesson appointments when possible, and a pass too boot! Couldn’t ask for more! Thanks so much Chris!!!Posted on Google
Iona1522 days agoI booked lessons with Chris to gain some more experience with motorway and city driving as I was used to rural driving. He was very accommodating and was able to help improve my confidence and abilities in 3 lessons. I really liked the way he used the iPad to help me visualise the road and car position to ensure I understood what he was explaining. I’d highly recommend having lessons with Chris.Posted on Google
Rachael Gilfillan1525 days agoI would recommend Cone Heid Driving to absolutely anyone looking to learn how to drive! Having had previous lessons 10years ago that weren’t successful I was anxious about starting again - however, Chris cleared all those anxieties quickly! He is a great teacher that completely put me at ease, he is very structured in his approach and takes time to discuss any areas that require more practice and ways to achieve it, always ensuring to celebrate the successes of the lesson as well!

Christina1625 days agoI had refresher driving lessons with Chris and wad a great experience. Chris is a great instructor and made sure that I met all my learning objectives to go back into driving. Although i had little driving experience, the lessons with Chris have given me the confidence to go back to driving regularly. Chris is very professional and funny too! I was always looking forward to my next lesson. I would highly recommend him!Posted on Google
Alistair Shearer1635 days agoAfter a 10-year break from driving lessons, with some bad experience learning with another instructor and very low confidence, I chose to go with Cone Heid and Chris and I’m so glad I did. Chris is knowledgeable, patient, clear, thorough, supportive, approachable, friendly, and everything in between that makes a fantastic instructor. I managed to pass in 4 months with Chris, with confidence driving independently, which is something I never thought would be possible with my past experience. Would highly recommend to anyone!Posted on Google
Gillian Browning1639 days agoHaving had many lessons with various driving instructors, Chris (Coneheid) was like a breath of fresh air. Methodical, precise and very focused but with a down to earth manner and good sense of humour and after a large gap from my last lessons, Chris instantly put me at ease and made me feel comfortable from the beginning. I couldn't recommend him highly enough to anyone considering driving lessons .....Posted on Google
Lisa McCarron1642 days agoI’d recommend Cone Heid to absolutely anyone looking for driving lessons in Glasgow. Chris is a brilliant instructor, super patient and encouraging and works with you to figure out & support your best learning techniques and makes you feel in control and safe as a learner driver, ultimately preparing you for one day driving on your own. I always got the most out of the 2hr lessons, which were affordable & offered at flexible times during week and weekend which was ideal for someone working 9-5. Couldn’t be happier with Cone Heid & Chris - learned in a great car with a great teacher supporting me to a 1st time pass!Posted on Google
Ellie Craig1648 days agoChris was an amazing driving instructor, I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive. He explained everything clearly and took time to go through each part of driving while making it enjoyable. He took time to answer any questions I had and made sure I was happy with the approach we were taking. I not only passed my test first time but feel really comfortable and confident when driving myself!Posted on Google
Derek Love1675 days agoGreat experience learning to drive with Chris, passed my test first time . Very friendly, down to earth and very patient. lessons were fun but with a very methodical way of teaching you how to drive, always discussed in depth my strengths and weaknesses before and after every lesson (previous instructor never did this) 100% recommend Chris if your wanting to learn how to drive. A++++++0Posted on Google
Emma Hardy1683 days agoHonestly don't know where to start! From the start Chris has been an amazing instructor. I struggle a fair bit with anxiety and he has been extremely kind and patient with me when I maybe have taken a bit longer to get test ready than others. Lessons were always engaging and enjoyable and he explained the processes and manouveres clearly and professionally and made it easier to understand. Every lesson finished with a discussion on my strengths and weaknesses and what we'd be working on next time. We also had time for a good laugh amongst all the seriousness! I've achieved a first time pass today and I can't thank Chris more for everything he's done to get me here! Best instructor ever!Posted on Google
Cara Mccafferty1688 days ago100% recommend Chris for driving lessons! Took some refresher lessons with him after a long break from driving and he helped me regain my confidence driving.

Laura1694 days agoBig thanks to Chris for accompanying me on my learning to drive journey — and let me tell you, that journey was not easy! 😂 He is down-to-earth, patient, has a great sense of humour, and genuinely wants everybody to succeed. Chris creates a relaxing and friendly environment; he tried to find different ways for me to learn and was very accommodating when I needed additional lessons outside the agreed hours. Once again, thanks Chris! 🎉Posted on Google
Seonaidh McGuire1722 days agoChris uses a perfect blend of methodical structured lesson plans with the flexibility to communicate freely how you learn most effectively.

Chris cares as much about you passing as you do and often goes out of his way to make it happen - I would recommend Cone Heid to everyone!Posted on Google
Lina1735 days agoChris is a really great driving instructor and I can't recommend him enough! He does a great job of helping you work through your weaknesses and learning from them. I had my license in another country and was quite nervous about driving on the other side of the road but Chris did a great job of helping me work through my nerves and learn how to be really confident on the roads here. He really goes above and beyond to help you pass and I'm sure if you take lessons with him you won't regret it!Posted on Google

Amy Johnston1770 days agoCould not recommend Cone Heid Driving School enough. Having had poor experience with another instructor I started out lessons extremely nervous beind the wheel. Chris worked through everything that was causing anxiety and tailored lessons to focus on gaining confidence in these areas. Each lessons begins and ends with a thorough debrief on where improvements need to be made as well as celebrating the wins. You feel yourself learn after every lesson and Chris has a really personable approach to teaching which puts you at ease. Thanks to Chris I was able to pass my test first time!Posted on Google

Alistair Martlew1885 days agoChris really helped me out by finding time to do a refresher course during a busy period for him.

Oliver Higgins1925 days agoI really enjoyed learning with Coneheid. I have taken lessons with other instructors previously, but I think I got the most out of these lessons - you really feel like they are giving you added value by sending you notes of areas to improve on whatsapp after the lessons finish and giving really useful feedback. They are also very friendly which is good if you are a nervous driver.Posted on Google
Gerard Loughrey1944 days agoHad a great experience learning to drive, a lot down to having an instructor who was flexible with his teaching and focused on things I was concerned about which really made a difference. I found 2 hour lessons worked well and The Duke (the car) was a dream to drive. Highly recommend.Posted on Google

Very friendly, professional, timely and skilled at what he does. Helped me achieve my first time pass and super helpful once you've passed as well -always happy to help!Posted on Google
daniel baines2021 days agoA great teacher. I had already passed my test a few years back and needed refresher lessons, ran through everything I wanted at the pace I wanted, we also had a 5-10 min run through at the end of the lesson to talk through the key points of the lesson and the needs for the next lesson. Would definitely recommend as the explanation and guidance he gave was 100% worthwhile.Posted on Google
michael murphy2021 days agowere to start . done a few lessons a couple of years ago and the instructor had no patience then decided to try again so found Chris seemed a nice guy when i first contacted him so decided to go ahead with lessons and thank god i did .. he made the time and effort that i needed to pass first time .. even if you make a mistake he always asks if you want to keep trying which i think was the best way. always talking and explaining stuff as you do lessons and help out as much as he can to explain in detail what to do and try to fit your needs .. even when not on lessons if your learning with a family memeber in another car he would always say if your not sure about something just to give him a message and he will help as much as he can. detailed views of roads that your not sure about roundabout lanes ect what is also a good idea if your about to start lessons then i would 100% go with chris or if your with another instructor try chris as well and you will see a diffrence ! thanks again for getting me passed 👌Posted on Google
Ruairidh Scott2023 days agoChris is a fantastic driving instructor! He's really patient and explains things really well, and his use of visual aids like maps and diagrams are really helpful. He's super professional, never late, and a really nice guy! Thanks again Chris for getting me through my test first time, and just in time before covid hitPosted on Google
Shouvonik Pal2023 days agoChris helped me out throughout until I am through the practical. End of session detailed notes, recap before starting a session, look through satellite map and discuss different scenarios of a critical junction/roundabout just passed, mistakes - stop and analyse right after; all helped me judging the road more precisely. It took me longer to get through but can't thank enough for all the help, guidance, encouragement and support...!!Posted on Google
Alex Melrose2023 days agoIf your looking for a driving instructor then look no further. Highly recommend.

Cannot fault my experience, helping me pass first time.Load more
