Tomek is an amazing driving instructor—patient, professional, and incredibly easy-going. As someone who gets easily stressed, I really appreciated his calm and reassuring approach. From my very first lesson, he made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. His clear explanations and encouraging manner took away so much of the anxiety that can come with learning to drive in Ireland.

I would highly recommend booking the pre-test lesson and car hire as well—I genuinely don’t think I would have passed without it. Even though I had practised a lot beforehand, that final hour helped refresh everything in my mind, calm my nerves, and get me fully prepared for the test. Thanks to Tomek’s expert guidance, I passed my driving test and now feel confident driving independently. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

I had an excellent experience learning to drive with Tomek. As a complete beginner who had never driven a car before, I was quite nervous starting out, but his teaching approach made all the difference.

Tomek is a professional, patient and precise in his guidance. He built my confidence step by step, starting from the very basics and ensuring I understood every aspect of driving clearly. He always took the time to answer all my questions and clear every doubt, no matter how small, which really helped me improve quickly.

One thing I truly appreciated was his flexibility he was very accommodating with my busy work schedule, making the whole learning process smooth and stress-free.

Thanks to his structured and accurate teaching, I was able to pass my Irish driving test on my very first attempt🕺😎 something I couldn’t have imagined when I started as a complete beginner.

I highly recommend Tomek to anyone looking for a skilled, supportive and dedicated driving instructor.

Kudos to Tomek 🙌🙌

I had a wonderful experience learning with Tomek at Bright Hill Driving Academy. From the very beginning, his teaching style stood out — calm, patient, and incredibly supportive. He always created a relaxed and positive atmosphere during the lessons, which helped me feel confident and focused.

Tomek pays great attention to every detail and provides clear, helpful guidance that makes it easy to understand what’s needed to succeed. His approach is gentle and never pushy, yet he makes sure you’re fully prepared for the exam. He is also very flexible with scheduling and always punctual, which made the whole learning process smooth and stress-free.

Thanks to his professionalism and dedication, I felt completely ready — and I’m very happy to say that I passed my exam on the first try! I highly recommend Tomek and Bright Hill Driving Academy to anyone looking for a thoughtful, effective, and truly supportive instructor.

I also took an additional lesson focused on driving on the M50 and motorways, and it helped me a lot. After that, I felt much more confident and comfortable driving in those conditions.

I am so glad that I chose Tomek as my driving instructor.
I started driving with no driving experience and I had doubts if I could drive competently. Tomek’s guidance was so crucial in not only managing my nerves but also making sure that I will drive safe and confident on the road.
He is very knowledgeable, easy to approach and very flexible to adjusting with driving hours for practice.
I passed my test in Dun Laoghaire in Automatic car with minimum marks and all the credits goes to Tom for that.

Highly recommended….

Tomek is the best instructor one can wish for! I'm 100% recommending Tomek as a driving instructor to anyone at any level of experience

From the beginning, his confidence and expertise gives you a lot of assurance and comfort. You immediately see that you can follow his guidance, and rest assured, you will pass the test. I followed all of his recommendations (pretest, mock exam, etc.), and I passed the exam in my first try!

He was very professional, kind, and friendly in every single interaction along the journey. He's also ready to go the extra mile for his student and do sacrifices if necessary. To me, that made him an even greater instructor.

Thank you, Tomek. It was a pleasure working with you.
