Client Reviews – Manual Driving Lessons

My instructor James Ryan was fantastic. I have had 3 different instructors in the past and was not a confident driver but James made me feel at ease straight away. He is a very kind and patient instructor. He really helped me build confidence in my driving. It took me a long time to pass the test due to nerves but James helped me to stick at it for which I am grateful. I am so happy now that I have passed and will likely return to James for some motorway lessons when I have a car.

James was an excellent instructor!!He explained everything very clearly and made me feel at ease when driving. He was always patient, calm and thorough in his teaching, James is also very funny. Thanks to him I now passed my test and learnt how to be a confident and safe driver. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! Your a star.

James is a fantastic driving instructor and we’d like to thank him for his enthusiasm, patience and support in teaching our son to drive. James gave constant encouragement and has vast experience which was very useful when teaching a 17 year old who was raring to get going on the roads! Thank you and we highly recommend James to anyone starting out on their driving experience.

Robert is a star. He coached me to a flawless test result – yes, that’s zero faults. I couldn’t have done that without him. I knew exactly what to expect in the test and was prepared for all eventualities. Great instructor and a sincerely nice man. 10 out of 10!

My driving instructor was Graham, I can’t recommend him enough! He put me at ease from the moment I sat in his car, he was able to explian things in the most simplists of ways. He is patient and understanding. I passed my test today with only 1 minor first time round. I couldn’t have done this without Graham. Thank you so much

Elliot is a grate instructor and pushes you so that you are well prepared

Elliot was my instructor and I could not recommend him enough. I passed my test last week with three minor faults. He was so calm and patient and made time for extra lessons in the days before my test. Thank you Elliot!

Highest recommendation for Darren!! Having many past instructors Darren is the most patient, positive and consistent instructor. ive had. He helped me deal with my driving anxieties and helped me become a confident driver. Darren has great knowledge of the test routes and what examiners are looking for to pass you. He helped me feel comfortable behind the wheel and ensured I was well prepared for my test. He was a constant motivation and support regardless of how many mistakes I made. Darren had confidence in my ability and continued to push me. I highly recommend Darren for anybody who wants to pass first time. His lessons are fun, tailored to your needs and he has great driving and teaching techniques. 10/10

Having just passed my driving test- with only 3 minors; I am so much grateful to my driving instructor Graham…And it feels amazing having passed the test while 36 weeks pregnant.

I have been driving for nearly 20 years in Turkey which I found it very challenging to start from scratch to be able to be a qualified driver in England. Graham, provided me all the information and tips to be able to pass the test. With his constant reminders of my mistakes, I was able to correct my mistakes.

He is very knowledgeable and experienced and patient which one needs to be able to pass the test. He know all the routes from his memory and all potential type of examiners that you might have. So I was nearly prepared for anything that might come up. Although I only had 10-12 lessons, the test day was brilliant and I was feeling very confident having known the possibilities.

I was a bit worried before the test since I failed the mock test twice. Having mock test drives was a great idea to have it before the test day. Thanks to Graham, this failure helped me to concentrate more and learn from my mistakes.

One little advice for everyone- visualise your mistakes in your mind, write them down and also write all the routines of driving and practice them in your head before either each lesson or more importantly the test day. I think as well as practical training, mental training helps a lot.

One last driving, although Turkey has a worse driving system and worse drivers, I found it very challenging to drive here in England:))

Highest recommendation for Jon. He always provided clear instructions and a gradual build up of skills. I was especially impressed with his flexibility – he always managed to fit in lessons around my busy work and travel schedule and because of this I earned my license faster than I thought I would. Thank you Jon!

I had fantastic lessons which have taught me skills which will help me with my driving for the future. I loved my lessons and always had a lot of fun with my instructor Elliot. I passed first time with four minors and would really recommend Britannia driving school.

I can’t say enough good things about Darren – the world’s most patient driving instructor. He tirelessly put up with my terrible schedule, constant anxiety and overall fear of driving for many lessons. He was so knowledgeable about the area (Shepherds Bush), the best places to practice around the test centre (Isleworth) and was able to help me finally relax behind the wheel – no small feat. I’d definitely recommend him and Britannia – thank you so much!

Jane who is based in Walton on Thames has recently taught my son to drive and he passed his test first time with no faults after only 10 weeks driving. I would highly recommend Jane.

Hi,

Thank you for all Britannia D.S. team to being helpful from the very begging to the end. After trying couple of driving schools and being unsatisfied made me completely demotivated and I was lucky to find Britannia D.S. and my instructor. So first exam result was successful after a short period of time.
Thank you for providing better quality lessons.

Best Regards
Nebibe

I am very pleased with all the support my instructor Jon provided me with. He has managed to pass myself and my sister with flying colours, a sign of a truly excellent instructor! Jon has great sense of humour, is extremely hard-working and will go out of his way to ensure that you pass.
Thank you Jon!

I just passed my exam at Morden Centre with just 4 mistakes.A big thanks to my amazing instructor John. You are a star.

Darren couldn’t have been any better. He’s knowledge of the road rules, test routes and inside word on driving test examiners is second to none, whilst also being a great laugh, when suitable!

I literally cannot recommend him highly enough.
Darren, I owe you big time mate!

Darren was a fantastic instructor, very nice guy, thanks to him I passed my drivers license very fast and first time, if you want to past first time and fast he’s the man.
