Client Reviews – Manual Driving Lessons

I knew how to drive but I was constantly failing my driving test. After reading positive comments on Britannia’s website I decided to give it a go. My driving instructor Matt appeared to be a very highly qualified driving instructor who gave me a lot of helpful tips and also corrected some of my bad habits in regards to driving. I can tell that my driving instructor knows test routes because I did exactly the same with him just before my actual test which I finally passed. Thank you very much Matt, so happppy now!!!

Yeayyy passed my driving test today at Morden Test Centre with 7 minors on my first attempt. Sooo happy and relieved. Would like to thank my instructor Nick whose excellent teaching skills helped me to get my licence. He explained things in great detail and within 2 months and 30 hours of lessons I passed. Nicks car was a great help (Audi A1) as it was so easy to drive and not your typical learner car and was a joy to have lessons in. I will recommend Nick to my family especially my sister as she is next in line to take lessons. Thanks again to Nick and Britannia.

YAY I passed!!! I didn’t believe I will pass the first time but my instructor Jane pushed me as far as my ability, I could see improvement in my driving every lesson. Lessons were fun and I never felt under pressure. Jane made everything so simple, she always said “Drive as you know how to drive” and that was the key to my success. I will recommend Jane to everyone. Thank You Thank You so Much!!! I will miss driving without you…

Would like to thank my instructor Nick for getting me through my driving test today. I passed first time and only 1 minor which is a great result. Nick is extremely professional and always explained things in ways I could relate to. He has a great Audi A1 in which he teaches in, which made things so much easier as the car is so easy to drive. I would definitely recommend Nick to anyone who wants to pass their driving test as he understands what is needed and strives for perfection. His knowledge of the local areas was very good and I got all the roads that we had been on in our lessons. Thanks again Nick.

I would like to thank the professionals at Britannia Driving School, with particular mention of my Instructor John. I took my driving test and passed on my first attempt with not a single fault thanks to John’s advice and expertise. I would definitely recommend Britannia and John to any and all drivers for a pleasant learning experience. Money well spent!

1st time pass with Neil @ Britannia, what a legend. Could not recommend him enough, gave me the confidence I needed to nail it first time! Much respect & many thanks. Cheers mate!

I had Jon as a driving instructor a few months ago, and he was fantastic. He was a very knowledgeable instructor and he made absolutely certain I knew everything I needed to know to pass the test. During my time with him I got a job and he was very willing to shift around our schedule to make sure I could get a lesson. I passed first time thanks to Jon and I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Want a driving license? Ask for James! Many thanks to my instructor James! He was awesome! I joined Britannia after two failed attempts with another school and frankly I was getting very frustrated. James was tireless in explaining everything from the beginning and pointing out my mistakes. He was patient and calm even when I was furious with myself for making foolish errors. Soon I began to understand driving and everything seemed simply common sense. And sure enough I passed the test this time! So if driving doesn’t come easy to you, do yourself a favour and ask for James!

I have been training with JT for more than a year now. Finally I have passed my driving test after 4 attempts. Could have never done without John. John is an excellent teacher. He is very patient, encouraging and constantly comes up with new ideas to help his students fight through their fears. His driving knowledge is very rich and he helps the pupil learn the skills effectively. For anybody new to driving like me with lots of fear’s would highly recommend JT to them. Thanks.

I’d already had one attempt at my driving test before (with another company) and it went terribly. I was nervous, not at all confident and nowhere near test standard. I failed, then it took me nearly 2 years to get round to trying again! Second time round I had Tim from Britannia and it went amazingly, I realised my previous instructor had been awful and it wasn’t just me being a bad driver! I ended up passing with 1 minor which is better than anyone expected. I used to really hate driving and would dread my lessons but after a couple with Tim I didn’t mind so much and even started to enjoy myself… Thanks Tim for putting up with my constant swearing and difficulty in paying attention to anything for longer than 5 seconds. Driving is no longer a terrifying chore that makes me want to cry. So cheers Tim!

I passed my test today first time after about 40 hours of driving with Jane! She was an excellent instructor. I couldn’t fault her one bit, without her I would not of passed! If you’re naturally quite a nervous person then Jane is perfect for you! She made me feel calm and relaxed the whole time and is just generally a really nice person who I got on really well with. I am going to miss my lessons with her! I would highly recommend her to everyone.

Excellent service and professional people on the phone (Emma and Oliver). It was always very easy to book the lessons and the test. My instructor Mary was very thorough with the explanations and she did pick up all my bad habits which she corrected over and over until I got rid of them. She is a star and I passed on my first attempt!!!

I found John (J.T) was very calm, patient, and he understood and corrected my bad habits. He made the learning enjoyable and stress free. I would highly recommend John to anyone experienced or non experienced.

I’ve had 37 hours of driving over 3 months with Alex and today passed my test first time! Alex is a very patient instructor and it’s because of him that I passed – thank you!

Thank you for helping me gain confidence in my driving. Today on my driving test I was so nervous despite all your attempts to calm me down. The test wasn’t too hard but still was in panic mode for no reason. Thank GOD you were there with me for support. I enjoyed learning to drive with you. There was time that I wanted to give up but you never let me. You always encouraged me, but never to hard, you gave me time to do it and to try my best. As an instructor you were patient, honest and reliable. You even put up with my constantly crying. I like to thank you for your extra effort to help me better understand about the maneuvers. For all those thing I would like to thank Tim.

A great thanks to Tim my driving instructor from West London, who helped me to pass my driving test with just 3 minors. Tim was very helpful and encouraging. I would defiantly recommend Tim.

Fantastic tuition from Neil, who made my lessons enjoyable and helped me pass my test. Great stories and great tuition- I couldn’t have wished for a better teacher. A little slice of Oldham in West London.

Just passed my driving test, all thanks to Jane! She was patient and encouraging and not only pointed out the mistakes to help me improve, but also the positives in my driving. She helped me to become confident in myself whilst having fun too. I would definitely recommend Jane…thanks again!

My driving instructor was Jane. The best driving instructor anyone could ever have. She was very understanding, patient and calm. She explained every bit about driving very clearly and kept explaining until I understood it. She raised my confidence and told me to trust myself the result was of course a pass! She is a very bubbly, friendly and kind person, I’d definitely recommend her to anyone. She even bought me two lollies when I passed 😀

My instructor Jane was very helpful and encouraging. Changing the time of the lesson was never a problem, even at short notice. She was supportive and knew when to give me a bit of a kick or a pat on my back. The office staff was courteous too. Well done Britannia!
