Client Reviews – Automatic Driving Lessons

My instructor Mary was fantastic. Having lost my confidence with driving, due to another driving school, I was very nervous when I met Mary. However, she built this up again by listening and responding to my needs as a pupil, and a mother with a young family and a full-time job. She was extremely patient (even on the fifteenth attempt at reversing round a corner), and very encouraging. She built me up to the point where the drive on the test was very comfortable. Having passed my test at the first attempt, I now feel like a proper grown-up. Thanks Mary!

My driving instructor Jon was brilliant and he comes highly recommended! He was very patient, fair and understanding and never made me feel bad for doing things wrong, which in turn made me better and more likely not to make mistakes. The lessons were worth every penny as in each one I always felt I had learnt something new and in the end passed first time which I truly believe it’s all down to Jon’s fab teaching and the easy methods he taught me for maneuvers. I never dreaded going to my lesson as I found it fun to learn and believe I found a good friend in Britannia Driving School and my driving instructor Jon!

Kelsey Mills - Sheen, London (11th November 2009)

Last week I passed my driving test on my first attempt. Needless to say I was ecstatic. I had been learning to drive with Jon since April, taking about 40 hours of lessons while working full time and doing part time study. I was able to choose my driving times to suit me and Jon helped me with my hectic schedule by always being on time and by starting some lessons at my office and finishing them at Sainsbury’s! Most importantly, however, on the day of my test I was completely prepared for anything that the examiner could throw at me. Every command that the examiner gave I had heard before, because Jon had been preparing me for the driving test from the very first lesson I took way back in April. I wasn’t, however, only taught how to pass the test, the driving experiences I have had over the past few months were fantastic. All the while I was being taught to respect the rules of the road and my fellow road users and, most importantly, I always felt safe. I am extremely pleased with the tuition I got from Jon, who is a wonderful teacher.

James Claverley - Hampton, Middlesex (10th November 2009)

Learning to drive at seventeen is expected in my family, so I was happy to pass to-day, five weeks after turning seventeen. I was worried about letting my instructor and my father down. They were so keen on getting me through; I was concerned that if I failed they’d feel I’d brought shame on them and all our ancestors and all three of us would have to commit hara-kiri together or something. So it was amazing (and a relief) to pass, I couldn’t believe I’d done it and was now a proper, qualified driver just like my big brother Adam. Thank you Mark, Steve and all at Britannia Driving School, I couldn’t have done it without you! P.S. Now it’s time for me to take the plunge and go out on my own …so I’d advise all motorist to keep off the roads in Wimbledon to-day

Oliver Bux-Wimbledon, London (6th November 2009)

I first started my driving lessons with Clare in August having never driven a car before. I was very nervous about driving, but Clare was very patient driving instructor and this helped. I noticed over my time with Clare that she was a perfectionist, and she tried to make sure that my driving was 100% free of errors. Clare made sure that I was ready for my driving test before booking it, despite me seeming to constantly nag at her to book it! I passed my driving test today, and I would think that for money’s worth in terms of driving lessons and fun as well as test success, Clare’s instruction suited me, and will most definitely suit many others. Clare and I are going to have a bonfire of L Plates to-night.

Miss A Matthews – Wimbledon, London (5th November 2009)

Thank you very much for helping me learn to drive in the UK. This would not have been possible without the help of my driving instructor Jon. I had an instructor from a different school for a short time, but once I restarted my lessons with Jon, it was quickly evident that I had not been taught some very basic driving techniques, mandatory and critical for the driving exam. Jon also took me to some very narrow roads for the first time helping me learn the “meeting other road users” techniques. I would recommend both Britannia as a driving school and specifically Jon as an instructor. Many thanks!!!

I came to Britannia after having failed three previous tests and being on the verge of putting off learning for yet another year. I was introduced to Paul who from the off-set was the coolest, calmest and most helpful driving instructor I’ve ever met. Paul was incredibly patient even when I carried on with some of the bad habits I’d picked up over the years! But he helped iron these out and helped turn me into a better and more confident driver. I don’t think I’ve ever felt as calm or confident before a driving test and I honestly feel that it was all down to Paul’s great tuition and guidance. I really could not have done it without his help, he’s one of the nicest guys out there!! I would absolutely recommend Paul and Britannia Driving School to anyone looking to learn to drive! Thank you again for helping me get on the road. Will definitely be seeing Paul in the near future for Pass Plus training!

I’d like to say a huge thank you to Cameron. He is a great teacher who enabled me to pass on the first attempt. I am really grateful for his patience and honesty. When something was not right he told me straight away and explained my mistake in an understanding way. I never had a problem with dates or times, he always endeavored to fit me in at a time that was convenient for myself. Cameron thank you so so much, if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have passed the exam. Britannia you’ve got my vote, I will always happily recommend you to anyone.
