Client Reviews – Manual Driving Lessons

Ive just passed my practical exam! I had the most qualified, the calmest and the kindest instructor you could only ever wish for. Jon F has been so patient with me and made me believe in myself. He thought me so well that now I am not afraid of being on a road and I keep telling off my partner when he drives badly 🙂 I have already recommended Jon to my friends and I will keep doing that as I believe that he is the best instructor Britannia has! I would not do it without him and I would not like to do it with any other instructor. All the best x

I just passed my test yesterday with only 4 minor. The instructor who got me to this stage was John O. Let me tell you a few thing about myself first. I have been learning to drive on and off for 10 years. I failed my test the first time round about 2 years ago. I have had number of instructors and John was the best. He made me feel comfortable right from the beginning, he is very knowledgable, and has a passion for driving and teaching. He worked very hard on my driving skills and at times he went home scratching his head trying to figure out how to make it clear to me. Once I had worked it out he made me practice till I was able to do it comfortably. Sometimes I was too comfortable and I would make basic mistakes. John would then say “that is elementary”. We would drive around talking about thing and having a laugh. I have had great fun learning to drive with him as he is very patient, enthusiastic, encouraging and good laugh. If you need a fantastic teacher you need not look any further as you have found him…. A very very big thank you to John. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Very big THANK YOU to Elliot, my driving instructor who helped me to pass my practical test today. He is very passionate about safety driving and very professional. I would highly recommend Elliot to everyone who wants to take the test. Martina Stefanovska

I passed my test today in Ashford and would like to thank my instructor Neil. Not only is he a great instructor he has become my friend. I could not have passed without his patience, knowledge and, for me, most importantly, his friendship and natural laid back personality. He made me laugh even when under stress on test day. Thank you my friend for everything.

I can’t believe I have passed!!!! Thank you Britannia for Robert, he was great and extremely patient. He was very positive at all times, even when I was making silly errors he would always find a positive side. Robert would make you feel comfortable. I will recommend him to my friends. Kriss 🙂

Thank you so much to Britannia. Elliot was brilliant all the way through the lessons and I passed first time after 30 hours. I’d definitely recommend.

Thanks to my instructor Albert I passed the test with a very good result. Now I can drive with confidence.

Big thanks to my instructor Darren. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor, he was very supportive, calm, professional and fun.
In less than 2 months I went from not knowing how to turn the engine on, to passing my test first time.
I am very pleased I chose Britannia and that I was lucky enough to have Darren to guide on my journey.
I even miss having my lessons now!!

I would highly recommend Neil as a driving instructor. I found him very supportive and friendly which made it easier to learn the driving skills. Having worked with 2 other instructors, I can vouch that Neil’s instructional skills, driving tips and techniques are amazing they really helped me to pass my test.

Big thank you to Tim and Britannia.
When I first started with Tim I wasn’t confident at all but within a short spell that changed under his guidance, hence a “first time pass” within 30 lessons, which I put down to Tim’s passion and professionalism.
It just goes to show how much a difference it makes to have someone putting themselves in your shoes during a lesson to help better understand how to help you.
Big thank you to Tim again for helping me pass today (09/05/14), #overthemoon

Very grateful for my driving instructor Elliot he is very good I passed my test with 4 minors I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to be a confident driver as I am now. Thank you for Britannia and Elliot.

Have recently passed the driving test. My driving instructor,James, best one from Britannia, was with me all the way and guided me with patience and optimism. I would highly recommend him to everybody.

I am very pleased with the service i received.My instructor Anthony was superb friendly and helpful. Thank you for your service .

Passed my test in the first attempt!!! Heard it was very difficult but my instructor Mary made it happen in less than 15 classes!!! Thank you Mary for being the perfect instructor….

Passed at first attempt.
My instructor was Jon F, and he was excellent. He was very patient, and professional. The car was also a very nice new Focus, in pristine condition, and I liked that I was learning in a decent size car instead of something like a Micra etc. I felt I was very well prepared for the test, and I sailed through. Thanks Jon !!

I had two instructors with Britannia and both were great! Lessons were steady enough at the beginning that you didn’t feel that you were being thrown in the deep end but not too slow so you always felt you were progressing. In the build up to your test they were also fantastic, the tips and hints given were so helpfull and running through different test routes and mock tests was invaluable. Both instructors (Steve and Graham) were really pleasant, happy and supportive people. I have recommended Britannia to many friends and am happy to recommend them to many more. I passed my test first time after only 3 1/2 months driving and this is credit to Britannia’s great instructors! Thanks a lot!

I am really happy to see my hard earned driving license in my wallet today. Behind the wheel I always used to feel anxious and panicky. But I am happy to have had John Tyson as my instructor. He’s such a lovely person who is very understanding and so patient. Thanks a lot to John and Britannia!!!

I had been driving for more than 14 years in India. I thought I was really a good driver until I met John Tyson. He helped me identify my weaknesses and many bad driving habits. It took me a while to get rid of those habits and I really appreciate John’s patience. I got my license in the first go and all credit goes to John. Now I guess I can say that I am a better driver. 🙂

My big thanks to Britannia and Tim.
Tim is a great instructor when I met him I spoke to him about taking lessons and he said to me “I can make you pass your practical test in less than 40 lessons” I didn’t believe and when we started I didn’t even know how to hold steering wheel but yesterday Monday the 28/04/2014 I passed my practical test with an outstanding result. The great Tim is magical, skilled and passionate. Thanks again to Britannia and Tim.

I just passed today after nearly a year of learning with Elliot. I would highly recommend him when choosing an instructor- he is very passionate and uses a technique to make important things stick in your mind. He makes you become a confident driver and helps you to learn how to drive for life. Thank you to Elliot and Britannia!
