About Graeme

With years of experience as an RSA approved driving instructor, I focus on creating a comfortable, patient learning environment where nervous drivers can build confidence behind the wheel.

My teaching approach focuses on practical, real-world driving skills combined with thorough test preparation. I believe every student learns differently, so I adapt my instruction style to match your pace and learning preferences.

Based in Kinnegad, I provide driving lessons throughout County Westmeath, covering Kinnegad, Mullingar, and surrounding areas. I offer flexible scheduling to fit around your work, college, or family commitments, with my dual-control car ensuring you're always safe while learning.
