Great instructor! Passed with 1 minor
I had been driving for 3 years but hadn’t felt confident enough to take my test so I booked a 10 hour week with John just to brush up on my driving a week before my test. He was really helpful, friendly and calm and allowed me to do some mock tests which I found really helped me. I passed with 1 minor and definitely would not have been able to do so well without these lessons.

Very satisfied- would 100% recommend !
I had driven in the past but had a 7 year break when I decided to book an intensive course with John. John was a brilliant instructor and without doubt I would 100% recommend to anyone looking to learn. He was extremely calm & patient and we covered all areas of the test several times and all aspects were made easy to understand and made to very achievable. I felt at ease while driving and confident going into my test. Intensive was great as we had time to cover everything and do a few mock tests which was great experience for on the day. All in all I was extremely satisfied with the 30hours. Was enjoyable and a good laugh along the way. Cheers John !

A superb instructor!
Having taken a number of lessons over the years with various instructors I never got to a point where I felt confident at the wheel. After taking regular lessons with John I quickly became comfortable while driving and passed my practical test first time. John is a superb instructor, he allayed my driving anxieties and made learning an enjoyable experience. I'd highly recommend him to beginners or anyone who's struggled with previous instructors.

Best driving instructor EVER.
Where should I start? 2017 I had such a horrible driving experience with a previous course and instructor it really put me down. 2018, little did I know being recommend John was the best thing that could of happened. Not only did he build my confidence as a driver again, He was always honest about my progress and truly cared about my success. I successfully passed my test just under 30 hours of lessons with John in June 2018. He is truly an amazing person and I'm so lucky I had him as my teacher and friend. I couldn't possibly recommend him enough!! THANK YOU JOHN!!
