Meet Ian
Hi, I’m Ian Weir, co-founder of Think Driving School and an experienced Fully Qualifed manual driving instructor helping learners become confident, capable drivers.
I’ve been an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) since I was 21, and by 24 I was already training others to become ADIs themselves. Since then, I’ve helped well over 1,000 learners pass their driving tests — with a consistently high pass rate — and supported countless instructors at the very start of their careers.
I set up Think Driving School back in 2010 with my best mate Doug Edwards, with one clear aim:
to provide calm, supportive, high-quality driving tuition that actually works in the real world — not just on test day.
Learning to Drive with Think
I teach learners across Alton, Medstead and Four Marks, using a diesel Vauxhall Corsa — a forgiving, easy-to-drive car that’s ideal for building confidence, especially for new or nervous drivers.
My teaching style is patient, structured and relaxed. I believe people learn best when they feel comfortable, understood and never rushed. Whether you’re starting from scratch or polishing things up before test day, lessons are always tailored to you.
Training the Next Generation of ADIs
Alongside learner tuition, I also provide ADI training across most of Hampshire, helping people turn their passion for driving into a professional career. Having been through the process myself — and trained instructors for nearly 20 years — I know exactly what it takes to pass the ADI exams and succeed long-term as an instructor.
Beyond the Car
Outside of lessons, I’m a lifelong car enthusiast, a big fan of VW campers, and I love travel, adventure, and a good Lego build when I get the chance.
I also run a YouTube channel with over 60,000 subscribers, where I share free driving content covering everything from theory help to full driving test routes — supporting learners far beyond the lesson hours.
Think driving school as a whole does cover a lot of others areas Through out Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Middlesex, Buckinghamshire and London.

Ian's Wall of fame
"After having lessons with numerous other driving instructors in the Bordon area that I wasn't happy with I chose to try the instructor most of my friends were learning with. I can't recommend Ian enough, he definitely is top grade instructor material. Thanks Ian I love my freedom!"
