Client Reviews – Manual Driving Lessons

If you are looking for a patient, flexible, excellent driving instructor, Tim is your man. Nothing is too much trouble, Tim provides excellent written resources along with expert guidance. I passed my driving test with no minors first time. I chose Tim as over five of my friends have done exactly the same as myself. Tim’s mantra is to coach his students to way above test standard and taking a personal interest in ensuring the safety of his students after their test. Tim also instilled in me a real sense of confidence about my driving, which has helped me to be confident in my decisions on the road and to stay safe. I cannot recommend him enough.

I just passed my practical test at Isleworth – first time, and only two minors. I am VERY pleased. Thank you, Robert for all of your help! Rebecca

Jon was a fantastic instructor. Always entertaining and very knowledgeable, he got me driving very well very quickly and made the two hour lessons enjoyable every week!

THANK YOU ALEX! I passed my test today with 0 faults! thanks to Alex’s very calm, patient teaching.

One word: PAUL. Simply the Best. I just had to write a review to say Thank You because Paul is a great instructor and the ONLY reason I’ve passed my driving test 1st time, after starting my lessons 2 months ago. Despite my nerves, Paul managed to keep me calm and was always an easy person to be in the car with during lessons, giving clear instructions and helping me become more confident. What I liked most about Paul (apart from his humour), is that he took a genuine pride in his own pass rate. I was also surprised when after a few lessons he encouraged me to book a test, (I’d heard stories of driving schools/ instructors trying to waste pupil’s time and money) and so it was great that we had a target to work towards. Me and Parallel-Parking were not friends for a looonnnng time, so Paul must have the patience of a saint, because he never showed annoyance or frustration when I messed up, and must have dug deep into his reservoir of techniques to find one that suited me. Thank you Britannia and thank you Paul.

Having learnt to drive with Paul for around 12 months, I can honestly say I’ve learnt far more than I ever expected in that time, not only have I now passed my driving test (with only 3 minors) the general life lessons that have been passed down are similar to a Yoda/Luke Skywalker situation. Contingency plans for dealing with aggravated members of the public (namely chinning), further contingency plans for dealing with an aggravated Mrs (again, chinning), the alternative benefits of fridge magnets and much much more! Joking aside, Paul is a fantastic instructor who provided the support, advice and confidence boosting I needed to pass my test, I looked forward to my lessons and never considered them a chore and we genuinely had a good laugh! Paul’s relaxed yet assertive approach to driving gave me the assurance I needed that not all cars are the fire breathing metal crunching death traps I feared them to be and now I can approach the road with the confidence that I have been taught to drive to the highest standard possible at my level. I will be going back for my passplus soon, thanks again to Britannia & Paul, cheers!

Thank you very much to my driving instructor, Darren Estwick, for his patient and helpful lessons. I found his sessions most instructive and professional. Darren taught me feel confident and safe on the road and navigate the busy London traffic comfortably. I passed my practical test on the first try, which I credit to a large part to Darren’s help. Best regards, Irina

I would like to say thank you ALEX for help me to get pass my driving test. With out his experience of instructing skills I couldn’t pass today. Thank you ALEX

I would like to thank Britannia for booking me with Vinni, one of the most talented and patient driving instructor i have ever met. Before joining Britannia, i was with AA and i must say it was a waste of time. With my instructor from Britannia i learnt so many things that i was never taught before and the most importantly i got my confidence back. Vinni is very friendly and comprehensive. He is always making his level best for his learners. I wouldnt have had my licence if it wasnt for him. The techniques and the way of demonstrating them is outstanding. The few words to describe him is PERFECT, REALIABLE, PATIENT AND MOST OF ALL COMPREHENSIVE. I will highly recommend VINNI. GO ON GUYS , IF U WANNA PASS UR TEST HE IS THE ONLY BEST INSTRUCTOR AVAILABLE IN THE AREA OF MORDEN OR SW. BEST OF LUCK

I have passed my driving test thanks to the great instructor i had. John Orphanou was a great teacher, down to earth and very encouraging. I had driven with other instructors and never did i find one i got on with so well. I loved the way he taught, he was patient and supportive. With the occasional moan when i got something wrong but i knew it was always to ensure i was driving to the best of my ability. Passing is a merit to me but i know i couldn’t have done it without my brilliant instructor. =)

I would like to say a huge thank you to John who helped me pass my driving test at 17. I could not have asked for a better instructor. Not only helping me pass the test but giving me little hints and tips for when i have a car of my own.

Yippee!!! I have passed my test 28/08/12 on the first try and I would like to thank Robert for being so cool, calm and collected. Teaching me so much in a week’s intensive course without over informing me THANKS AGAIN!!

Thanks very much to Britannia Driving School and in particular my instructor Jon who got me through my test at the first attempt which was no mean feat.

I would like to make a review about my fantastic instructor James. I had a few single lessons with James and then took an intensive course. James was patient, understanding, clear in his instructions and just a lovely person. He made me feel safe in his car and I learnt very quickly thanks to his help. I cannot recommend James highly enough!

I really enjoyed learning to drive with Tim – I’d definitely recommend him as a driving instructor! After 24 hours of lessons (within 3 weeks) I passed my driving test today on my first try with 2 minors. Tim was incredibly encouraging and a very patient teacher, who explained everything carefully – making it all seem very easy! He also took me out on some of the possible test routes, so I really got to know the roads and any tricky bits around my test centre. I felt well prepared for my test and am really glad it all went well – thanks Tim!!

My instructor Jane was friendly and professional at all times. She made sure I had developed all the skills I needed to pass. She guided me appropriately and let me know when I was ready to take the test and so I passed first time round with 4 minors.

Thanks for helping me to clear my driving test. It was an excellent coaching given to me. I really wanted to recommend my instructor (Chris) as one of the best instructor in UK.

I really enjoyed learning with my instructor John, he was very dedicated and very helpful, always going the extra mile. I would definitely recommend him, even if he is a Chelsea fan 😉

Thanks to Jane I managed to pass my driving test. As a teacher, I understand the techniques required to teach students and Jane has a natural ability to do this. She was patient and always tested and challenged my knowledge. I wasn’t happy with my previous instructor so changed to Jane and just wish I had started with her – would have saved me a lot of time and money. Thank you Jane!

John was an amazing instructor I would 100% recommend him to anyone! Flexible and friendly going to miss our weekly banter. Britannia prices are very manageable also and I was very happy that they found a test date so quickly, all in all EXCELLENT 🙂
