PROs
- He came off as a good driver; one who is very diligent and wants you to be excellent. If you are already a good driver, then he might be ok for you.
CONs
-Amidst his diligence, he expects you to be excellent on your first lesson and is not in any way patient; he came off to me as an elderly man who was scolding his child (me). He was always scolding me, querying every single thing and shouting - I am a mother with kids, this was so upsetting to me. If you struggle with confidence then booking him will be a bad idea. He'd always want to 'put you in your place', 'have the last say' or 'win an arguement'. On 2 occasions he screamed at, or insulted other drivers while teaching me.
- He was very passive aggressive and he made silly remarks; I found him condescending with his remarks, acting like my inability to drive effectively was a crime. Rather than correct your mistakes, he will ask you sarcastic questions to query your mistake...for instance he'd say "do you think what you just did makes sense/is sensible?" ...then when you don't answer his obviously rhetoric question, he'd pressure you for an answer. I was always anxious and shaking around him and I'm not a child for someone to be scolding.
- He insists on bulk booking (or rather, nudges you towards this (i am sure this is consistent with other drivers as well). However, I couldn't quit his class because I had paid in bulk, but I found myself going for a lesson that was obviously not helping me.
- His method of booking the lessons seems shady, its only about his availability and rarely about yours (this is after you have paid him upfront).
- He doesn't particularly keep up to date with new changes with the DVSA requirements and updates; the next driver I used after him, seemed to be attending some meetings and provided me information about changes made. For instance, I had read on the govt website (and other youtube channels) about an update, but Jonathan was still teaching me otherwise, when I calmly tried to ask him, he scolded me....as he was the "teacher and I am the student"
-It's true that he never ever finishes his hours; it's always between 10 - 30mins short of the hour and the only time I tried to point this out, Jonathan argued so I kept my mouth shut (I was seriously afraid of him as he always scolded me like his child).
-He had a holiday booked and did not consider to let me know before I paid, so everything seemed a bit rushed as well (although this didn't bother me so much).
