Feedback from pupils and trainees
Patient guidance.
In their own words.
Learner driving lessons
Had Jon as my instructor. Incredibly patient and informative, a great teacher and generally a really nice guy! Sadly didn’t pass on my first test due to nerves but John was very understanding and helped me get a second test and a few top-up sessions booked in, which led to a pass! Highly recommend!
Driving instructor training
Jon has been an excellent ADI Part 3 trainer. His input has been viable in learning the skills required to pass the exam.
The training was well structured and easy to follow with sessions linked to DVSA standards. I felt much more confident delivering lessons even before passing the exam. I passed the Part 3 in my first attempt and will highly recommend training with Jonathan to become a driving instructor.
