Client Reviews – Manual Driving Lessons

I passed my test yesterday after 13 hours of fantastic tuition from Neil. He’s a great instructor with very simple but effective methods, and will make you feel comfortable and reassured in any situation…he’s got some cracking jokes too! I have already recommended him to a number of my friends and certainly recommend him to anyone else! Top bloke & great instructor! Cheers Neil!!

Just passed my driving test on the 1st attempt with only 3 minors in Morden. Would like to thank my great instructor Nick who was patient and very thorough with everything he taught me so I was really ready for my test. Nick was also very patient when I didn’t understand something and went through the subject in a way I could relate to it. His car was such a joy to drive not many Audi learner car’s I bet. The car was always clean and Nick had a good rapport with the examiners and knew all of them very well. The route I got on my test was one that Nick had shown me in my lessons so was never surprised with what could have happened ahead. Thanks again Nick, couldn’t have done it without your knowledge and experience.

I passed my test with Nick last week. I liked his teaching style; laidback but firm when required! Thank you for all your help!

I have passed my driving test today, thanks to John my wonderful instructor. John is patient, calm and knows how to bring the best out of a learner driver. He is so passionate about what he does. When I first started with John I was nowhere near the expected standard for even considering taking the test but John successfully taught me in just 12 double lessons. Thanks John!!!

My Instructor John, he’s simply the best. He surprises me anytime I took lessons with him. He was not after my money, but my safety present and in the future. He taught me not only to pass my test but how to be a good driver. Words cannot express how good he is. All I will say is that, if you want to pass your test come to Britannia and make sure John is your instructor. Today, I’m proud to say that I’ve passed my test. God bless John and God bless Britannia.

Paul provided expert tuition and engendered confidence. His ability to: assess, encourage and cajole in the appropriate measure, is an art, he has ably mastered. It was an absolute pleasure to learn from him.

Charlie helped me become confident on the roads and pass my test with flying colours. If you need a great driving instructor in the Richmond / Twickenham area look no further!

I finally passed my test today, all thanks to my wonderful instructor JOHN. I honestly thought I’d never learn to drive but with his expert tuition and endless patience, I’ve done it. I wasn’t the easiest person to teach but John was calm and patient despite repeating basic mistakes and even bursting his tyre on the first lesson. I would highly recommend John to anyone learning to drive. Thank you John for everything .

A big thank you to John for helping me to pass my test in less than two months, starting as a complete beginner. His approach to teaching is admirable, and it was extremely helpful when he stayed perfectly calm and clear, in situations where I instantly panicked. I managed to overcome my nerves and pass my test with flying colours. Thanks again John!

JON is the name. Can I just say many many thanks to him, as I could not have passed the test at the FIRST attempt today (16th Nov) without him. He is the man who can make driving very easy for learners by his unique teaching style, rules and hard work for every single students. He knows and can remember what you have done in previous lessons and what still needs to be done to pass the exam in one go. However, he doesn’t teach only exam techniques but individuals come to know what is real meaning of driving. His hard work encourages students to do their best. Also, he never ever wastes your time during lessons, very punctual and funny. In sort, I would say JON is a real man and his every lessons are worth every penny.

Mary is an excellent instructor. She took me under her wings as a total amateur having little driving experience. I managed to pass my driving test first time with only 3 minors as a result of all the hard work Mary put into getting me up to speed. Unlike other instructors I had, Mary didn’t just stick to the test routes to help me pass, she actually taught me how to drive anywhere. She showed professionalism and patience and has given me the confidence I need to start driving along side other drivers as if I have been doing this for years. Thank you Mary for helping me achieve my licence.

I passed my practical test first time after being taught by George. He was recommended to me by family and I am very happy he was my teacher. I was very nervous but George helped put me at ease and teach me how to drive in record time. I am now a happy and confident driver. He knows the local roads thoroughly and is very familiar with the testing process. I was prepared for everything thanks to George! I would definitely recommend George.

I’d had a few bad experiences with learning to drive in the past with one of the large national schools. After a ten year break I decided to have a go at it again and chose Britannia as they had the most honest reviews and actually seemed to care about their students. I could not have had a better instructor. George was a fantastic teacher with a great car to learn on. He helped me to build up my confidence in driving. I went from being very nervous about driving to looking forward to the lessons. They were fun. After now driving on my own for over a month I can also say that George taught me not only how to drive to pass the test but also how to drive in the “real world”. He knows his stuff! Thank you George.

I just wanted to say a very big THANK YOU to Neil. He is such a great instructor. I started driving lessons with a different company which lasted only 2 hrs and I am very glad I changed to Britannia Driving School. Neil had the experience to handle all sorts of situations, giving me the confidence I needed to learn to drive. He is so patient, takes everything step by step and makes it fun . Learning to drive a car has been a phobia for me for a long time but I decided to give it a go as I knew it would save me so much time for my everyday life. Once I started lessons with Neil, it did not take long and all the phobia was turned into a hobby… I could not believe it, but every time I was looking forward to the next lesson…Neil, thank you for all your help and support!!!!!!! Now that I have my driving licence, I cannot be more happy!!!!

Would like to say thank you to Neil for all of his patience and help throughout my lessons and passing my test thank you.

Passed my test 1st time today, all thanks to Neil. Brilliant instructor keeps you calm and is firm but fair. Best instructor you could get!

Thank you Neil for all your excellent driving skills and good advise during my practice and of course your patience. I would in future highly recommend anyone taking up driving to you as I have gained a substantial amount of trust in the way you conduct your students. Thank you well done good job.

Just passed my test at Ashford with only 3 minors! I would highly recommend TIM as without his knowledge and experience as a driving instructor I would have failed. During lessons, TIM had a very patient approach, especially when it came to maneuvers. If I did anything wrong he always knew how to resolve it and talk me through the situation in a calm and supportive manner. TIM was very flexible when booking in lessons, booking me in when it was best for me rather than the other way round. He always asked me if I what I wanted to cover in the lesson and told me what could be improved and what was test standard. TIM was great as he took me on all the test routes to make sure I knew the surrounding area as well always using terms that examiners use on test, so when it came to the day I knew what was expected of me. Book with Britannia and ask for TIM.

I passed my driving test today, thanks to the help of instructor John who covers the Mitcham area, amongst others. I was pleased with Britannia’s service in providing a patient and reliable instructor who ensured the car was always well maintained and took the time to explain the complex maneuvers step-by-step. I would recommend using Britannia and instructor John strongly.

Passed first time with flying colours…. which surprised me a lot given that I was petrified of driving! Would highly recommend Nick as an instructor. Feel confident and ready to take on the London roads alone! And it didn’t take too long to pass either!
