Client Reviews – Manual Driving Lessons

After a disappointing experience with another driving school, I approached Oscar from Britannia with some hesitation – but from our very first lesson, I knew I was in good hands.

Oscar’s approach was exactly what I needed: clear, direct, and fair. He wasted no time getting to the heart of what I needed to improve (junctions, roundabouts, manouvers etc.), and his calm, professional manner made it easy to build both my skills and my confidence behind the wheel.

In just six lessons, I went from feeling unsure about my driving ability and still regulalry stalling to passing my test with only one minor fault -something I never thought possible in such a short time.

I’m incredibly grateful for Oscar’s excellent instruction and support. I would highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive in South London – especially those who want focused, efficient, and confidence-building guidance.

I recently passed my driving test with a perfect score, and I’m really grateful to my instructors, for helping me get there.

My main instructor, Johnnie, was fantastic — calm, patient, and supportive throughout my learning journey. Starting from zero experience, he guided me step by step and really helped build my confidence behind the wheel.

I also had a mock test session with Oscar, who was equally great. He took me around the test area, shared useful tips, and made sure I was well-prepared for the real thing. His feedback was incredibly helpful and definitely contributed to my perfect pass.

The driving school itself was a bit of a mixed experience. My first assigned instructor never showed up and completely ghosted me, which was frustrating. I also had issues with vouchers not being delivered and needing to be reissued. The customer service team was helpful once I got in touch and resolved the issues.

Despite those bumps, I’d highly recommend Johnnie and Oscar. They’re both professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping their students succeed.

I had a great learning experience with my instructor Gary – he was always patient and kind and made every lesson fun. I passed today first time with 0 minors, so I think that tells you everything you need to know about how good an instructor Gary is!

Both my kids have been taking their driving lessons with Jon and both of them passed their test at first try. Can’t praise Jon enough for his engagement and his accurate way of teaching all the steps to become a successful driver. Both my son and daughter have absolutely loved their lessons. So a 5 star review for Jon and Britannia Driving School.

I was steered to success by my excellent instructor, Johnnie.
Ever cool, calm, insightful and great company on the early morning lessons. Would most certainly recommend him and Britannia in the future!

I was studying with Abdus, who was able to continually be professional and a good driving instructor with minimal interference and maximising the amount of time of driving we did together. He was easy to get along with and catered nicely to my needs in organising the lessons. He was a great instructor for me and I passed first time with only 2 minors!

I have just passed my driving test first time, all thanks to Britannia Driving School. My instructor Adam was really nice and walked me through everything I needed to know before going into my driving test.

I strongly recommend Will as an instructor. His guidance was fundamental so I could pass my practical driving test.

I appreciate My instructor Mr Jon and Britain’s Driving school

Really easy to deal with Driving School. Jon, the instructor, was great and very flexible with evening and weekend lessons. My son passed first time, with no minors! Thanks Jon and Britannia

Had a faultless experience, passing first time after only 2 months of lessons. Owe it all to the great teaching and patience of Abdam. Thank you Britannia and Adam!

My instructor George was great at helping to rebuild my confidence after taking a break from lessons for a few months. His instructions and support were great and because of George I ended up passing first time around. Thanks George!

Thank you Britannia for all your help and support getting me through my Part 3 instructor licence especially the office team and a big thanks to Frank for all his patience !!

Thank you to George who helped me pass my test last week. He helped me overcome my nerves and gave me so much helpful advice.

George was a fantastic instructor, he was always patient, very encouraging in all of my lessons, and put me at ease. I would definitely recommend him.

Thanks to Will I was able to pass my test first time! Very good teacher, patient and thorough.

Hiya, I just wanted to get in touch to send a testimonial for my driving instructor, Mario . I recently passed my driving test on the first attempt, and I owe this to my amazing driving instructor, Mario. Every lesson with Mario was a pleasure—he made me feel completely at ease behind the wheel with his calm and patient demeanor. His attentiveness and insightful feedback were invaluable, and he always took the time to explain how I could improve both during our lessons and on my own. Mario’s dedication and encouragement were instrumental in building my confidence and preparing me thoroughly. I am immensely grateful for his guidance and highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn how to drive.

As a nervous driver, Jon made me feel safe and confident in the car at all times. I never had to worry about intimidating drivers, or potentially dangerous situations, as he always taught me how to navigate them safely. I would really recommend Jon as an instructor and Brittania Driving School in general. When some vouchers I had were expiring, they were kind enough to extend them so that they would not go to waste. I had a great experience overall!
