DRIVE AND PASS

John is a lovely person and a really patient instructor who makes you feel comfortable at all times. I appreciate how he explained each manoeuvre beforehand and made sure I was happy. I feel John helped me gain confidence as a driver and enabled me to improve my skills when it came to roundabouts and junctions. I would highly recommend John to anyone who is looking to learn to drive.

I struggled alot with bay parking and roundabouts . John let me practice these things a lot with detailed instructions on how to complete these manoeuvers. The lessons were thoroughly planned out and was told in advance what we would be doing . I would recommend John as he was understanding when you needed additional support with things .

I started taking refresher lessons with John having already passed my driving tests. I had not driven for four years and didn't feel confident or comfortable behind the wheel anymore. Essentially I had to relearn how to drive and John immediately put me at ease and explained how best to go about getting back into the swing of driving. We created a plan together, both from the first lesson and every lesson thereafter, which ultimately John wanted to be led by myself. This entailed deciding which aspects of driving I felt I needed to go over in order to regain my confidence, whether this be relearning clutch control or navigating roundabouts. John also offered his own suggestions for gaps in my driving. What I really appreciated about John's methods of teaching was that he was always patient and understanding, yet fair with his assessments of my driving and with pushing me out of my comfort zone in a safe and controlled manner. Furthermore, I liked that John always asked to what extent I wanted him to interject during my driving - for example, this could be fifty per cent of the time or not at all. I also welcomed John explaining what we were going to do and things to look out for before we started each lesson. Similarly we dissected the drive after each lesson to iron out any errors for the future and also set out a plan of action for the next lesson. I can tell John has a wealth of knowledge and experience from years of driving and teaching so you feel in very safe hands. I never once felt in danger and John is great at making you feel at ease and a calming presence if you're anxious about driving. He is also always up to date with the highway code and new implementations or revisions which is often an overlooked aspect of becoming a responsible driver by instructors. I could not recommend John enough, both for someone looking to regain their confidence behind the wheel or driving for the first time and preparing for a test. John has brought back my confidence in driving and instilled into me good habits that I will take forward after being a shadow of my former self in the car.

What a great experience! Johns expertise enabled me to pass first time with only 4 minors. He is very easy going and explains all required skills well. He helped me improve with roundabouts and junctions. I would recommend Drive and Pass.
