Client Reviews – Manual Driving Lessons

I passed my test today. Had Tim as my instructor. Very cool, calm and patient instructor. Makes a note of all your driving techniques and advises you on them. Very alert and very observant. His knowledge of driving is brilliant and he definitely knows how to pass that on to his student.

Thanks Tim

I passed first time, and I owe a huge thank you to Mark for that. If you can take it, he’ll happily push you very hard and demand very high standards which let me improve so quickly. So thanks again, and Mark gets my 100% recommendation, especially if you don’t just want to learn how to pass, but how to drive.

I passed my test in Morden last week thanks to my instructor Nick. I was apprehensive about getting back into driving after having a bad instructor several years ago, but Nick is a fantastic instructor and helped me grow in confidence. He has a great personality and helped me not just to pass my test, but to be a good driver.

I would recommend this driving school to anyone especially my driving instructor Paul F he was the best i had. i had an instructor before and he was nowhere near as good as Paul i would definitley tell people to do it with Britannia and ask for Paul F if you can

Anyway thanks again Paul all the best Sonny

Passed first time thanks to Albert! He was a very good instructor, as well as being friendly and patient when you make mistakes

Passed first time last week thanks entirely to the tuition of Nick. He was able to find the best style to help me learn and from the very beginning came across as someone who knew what he was doing which put me at ease and let me get on with learning to drive. For me it’s pretty straight forward, follow his instructions and you’ll pass.

Many thanks to Tim for teaching me to drive and getting me through my test, I would strongly recommend him to any learner not just because he is an excellent teacher but because he strives to make lessons enjoyable and brings a friendly approach to learning, which makes you feel comfortable and enjoy the lessons as well as helping you to progress quickly and learn the skills necessary to become a confident, incisive driver.

Having passed my test last Friday on my first attempt with only two minors (to my surprise), I would like to not only thank Mary but also recommend her. My instructor was patient, kind and always made sure I was never low on confidence. Thanks Mary!!

I passed my practical first time round today. I am very pleased with my instructor, Jon F. I enjoyed my lessons; highlights include driving to Windsor and to the Mercedes Benz Centre in Weybridge. He really helped boost my confidence. I highly recommend Jon as your driving instructor!

I am very pleased with my instructor James as I passed my practical test last Friday, I had been driving for 8 years in Colombia but I had to take the theory and practical test here in the UK. I just had 5 hours with James he taught me how to drive and pass my test.

I recommend James as instructor from Britannia Wimbledon because he is very patient, understanding and encouraging. He explained to me every single thing very clearly since English is not my first language and also I detected my weaknesses and worked on it with advice and practice.

As a result I passed my test and I am very grateful for James for helping me to do it.

Thank you so much James.

I knew how to make a car move (I had been driving for 10 years in India). However my instructor Paul F actually taught me HOW to DRIVE in 17 hours. One hour less and I might have failed my test.

Paul has been spot on with his assessments. He has been very encouraging and yet, really pushed me in the last few lessons to do better.

Best of all, he kept my spirits up, ensured I was confident, and kept me focused on what I must not do wrong.

Having recently passed my test I would highly recommend Jane as a driving instructor. She is very patient, and really encouraging and gave me confidence that I could drive and pass the test. She highlighted the areas that I needed to improve on and helped me think about how I was going to develop my driving skills. I enjoyed my lessons with Jane and looked forward to them. A big thank you for getting me through the test!

I passed my practical test today and have been learning on and off with John Orphanou over the past 18 months (delay caused by me). We got on very well and he was knowledgeable with what was required for me to pass. He always pushed my driving by giving me harder types of manoeuvres that would make anything that came up in the test seem easy, and as the lessons went on, we drove on challenging routes to test my abilities. I didn’t realise as much at the time fully that this was to prepare me the best possible for the test. I now fully understand this and cannot thank John enough. He did everything possible to ensure I was ready and in the end I passed with 2 minors. The test actually seemed fairly easy and his advice was all spot on. Thanks Mate!!!

Big thanks to my star instructor John Orphanou from Britannia, he managed the seemingly impossible and guided me to a clear test pass (less than 5 minor errors!) .
I was very impressed with his level of knowledge, patience and professionalism. Anybody serious about wanting to improve as a driver , experienced or not – give this guy a call!

I would just like to thank Darren for helping me pass! I have had a few instructors prior to Darren, none of which seemed to work! Darren was very patient throughout the lessons, and really helped and taught me to focus, and he managed to stengthen my awareness. So, thanks Darren.

Many thanks to Nick for getting me through to pass my test. He pushed me to pass rather quickly, definitely not someone to hold you back, he has a friendly vibe while keeping it professional. He was always on time for lessons, showing up at least 5 minutes early and made sure I got the most out of them. Nicks Audi A1 was a great car to learn in, good quality and drive. I would 100% recommend nick as your driving instructor!

I think Darren was a brilliant instructor who taught me well and I feel very confident in my driving.

I was very pleased with my instructor Keith. He was very patient, understanding and encouraging. Keith was a great instructor not only because he explained everything very clearly but also he was willing to adapt his approach to solve my weaknesses. I made massive progress in a short period. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Really enjoyed the experience. Thank you very much, Keith!

John O was great in boosting my confidence while driving and telling me all minor observations that people forget and that could make you fail your test. I had only 4 minor faults.
He’s a bad ass intructor!

As a new driver, i was very apprehensive about driving. When i met my driving instructor Nick, he made me feel very comfortable and his confidence was really reassuring and i relaxed very quick. I suppose when you think of being taught, you hark back to school days of frustrated teachers and an unpleasant atmosphere. Nick’s approach was to be a friend as well as a teacher and i think this was key to making each lesson enjoyable and engaging. Reading all the wonderful reviews about Nick and other Britannia instructors, i feel very lucky to have chosen such a great company to learn with.

Passed 1st time!
Thank you Nick! 🙂
