Client Reviews – Manual Driving Lessons

I am Elliot’s pupil who has just passed today. I have Ben with him a month and not only passed, but very confident. Thanks for the professionalism of the calm of Elliot, who is brilliant instructor. Thank you for Britannia and Elliot.

I passed my test first time thanks to the expert tuition of John Orphanou. He prepared me thoroughly for the test, helping to improve my skills week on week, and built my confidence in the process. It’s been a pleasure to learn to drive with John from start to finish, and I am so grateful to him for all his brilliant advice and support during that time. Thank you.

I passed my driving today at Morden and credit goes to my instructor John who was helping and encouraging (which I greatly appreciated as I was quite nervous to begin with). I was learing for around 12 months and passed 2 time. He gave clear instructions that made the manoeuvres (almost) easy. He also made the lessons fun and enjoyable. Thank you John once again for getting me my license and believing in me.

I passed my test in March with the help of Mary the instructor. I was learning for around 9 months and it was on my third time that I passed. Throughout the entire time I was learning Mary was great, she would always fit in my lessons and I felt confident and assured within a few weeks. Even when I unfortunately failed my test (I was a bit unlucky both times) Mary helped me work on the things that I needed to and by the third time I felt really confident that I was a good driver. She was also very friendly too ! All in all it was a great experience that I would recommend.

 

I am so pleased that I decided to learn with Britannia. John was an amazing instructor, who was infinitely patient and encouraging (which I greatly appreciated as I was quite nervous to begin with). He gave clear instructions that made the manoeuvres (almost) easy. He also made the lessons fun and enjoyable, and his tutelage meant I was able to pass first time. Thank you very much!

Alex is a great driving instructor and he helped me gain confidence and learn many valuable skills for driving!

I passed my test this morning at Morden! So pleased and happy and I Thank Maryam for making this happen, she is an amazing instructor who’s guided and encouraged me from the start up until the last minute before my test. It was an absolute pleasure and knowing that I wont be able to see her every week now is quite upsetting, going to miss her. I was nervous back then when I first started my lessons but she made driving seem not as hard as I thought. Maryam was so patient with me and helped me understand manoeuvres and let me practice as much as I wanted to until I was confident. Thank you so much Maryam for getting me my license and believing in me. Thank you ☺

I had a great experience with Britannia because of having an instructor whom was selected for me by Britannia. Maria is a patient and dedicated instructor. she was on time and well planned subjects for each session and very good at selecting right places to practice. Not surprisingly I passed my test at the first attempt as I had practiced all possible scenarios with Maria.

Just passed my test in Morden, John my instructor was amaizing, he give me confidence and calm down my nerves, I like his unque tips for teaching. I recommend him. Thanks John.

MASSIVE thank you to GRAHAM!
Just passed my test in Reigate, having Graham as an instructor was an absolute pleasure and I am going to miss his presence in the car and the lovely stories he had to tell! thank you so so much for having so much patience with me, all the little tips and teaching me the best way to drive! Definitely recommend Graham as an instructor!
THANK YOU!

George is a fantastic instructor great knowledge and experience. Made me feel comfortable and confident on the road and made sure I was ready for my test and got me through first time! Very pleased with the service and highly recommended. Thank you George

I passed my test a few days ago. This was due to the excellent teaching skills of your instructor, Elliott. He used this psychological technique called NLP, which really helped to drill the techniques of driving into my lazy brain. I came to this late (62) and even though it is hard for older people to learn new things Elliott got me through the practical driving test on my first attempt. Many thanks to Elliott and Britannia. I have something which will liberate me in my retirement and all due to you guys!

From January through March 2016 I had a great experience with Britannia. While I had previous driving experience in the US, I had decided to get my license here in the UK. Over the course of about six or seven lessons I went from an unsure driver to a confident one using the techniques from Britannia and my instructor.

My instructor Elliot made learning how to drive on the left, the rules of the road, and what the instructors would be looking for quite simple. Using intuitive techniques and reassuring lessons the improvement in my driving skills and confidence was fast and easy.

When test day came I feel calm and prepared and was able to pass on my first attempt. We had prepared for every scenario so that I wasn’t surprised by anything my instructor asked of me. London’s roads can be busy and daunting (especially at 9 am and in the rain) but because of my lessons I had no problems. I highly recommend using these lessons to anyone who is just getting started, needs a refresher, or like me is new to the UK.

I was able to pass for the first time with 3 minors with the support of John Orphanou!

John always made driving enjoyable, whilst teaching me the importance of driving in a safe manner. His on-point driving tips coming from his years of expertise (which was given until the very last minute before the test) have helped me gain a lot of confidence.

I would highly recommend John for quality lessons and driving techniques that will last stay with you for a long time.

Thank you once again to John and to Britannia driving school.

Graham is the Greatest instructor in the world :)… Delighted that he managed to get me to ‘unlearn’ my bad driving habits and got me to pass at Chertsey test centre with ‘zero minors’… All it took was 10 classes… I would recommend Graham and Britannia … Thanks Graham…

John Orphanou is a good instructor, I am from Madagascar and it was difficult for me to drive on the left hand side of the road. John helped me to get use to it and encouraged me during my driving lesson also he is very friendly. He helped me to pass my test first time. I recommend him!

I passed today with just one minor!!! I couldn’t believe it and I am over the moon now!

I had John O as my instructor and I would highly recommend him!
John is very unique in his teaching style and his methods. He has given me lots of tips and advice in driving and also taken me to places where people tend to make mistakes easily in the driving tests. His years’ of experience was invaluable and I have learnt a huge amount from him during the past few months.

I still recall the first time we practiced driving together, when I was extremely nervous and never got behind the wheel before. He allowed me learn at a pace I was comfortable with and helped me build my confidence in driving. He was flexible with the timing of the lessons, especially when it was close to my test date, which I really appreciated.

I cannot thank him enough. Wish him all the best. A BIG THANK YOU again!

Best regards,
Karen
