Client Reviews – Manual Driving Lessons

I cannot fault my instructor. At all times Lee was available despite my often strange working hours! He was knowledgeable, easy to understand and friendly. My experience with Britannia was one of enjoyment and I would recommend Britannia to anyone learning to drive and if they got the instructor I had, it will be enjoyable, fun and defined. I cannot fault him in any way! I passed with almost flying colours so very happy indeed.

Glenn Watts - Sunbury-on-Thames, Middlesex (26th June 2012)

I have had around 40 hours of driving lessons with Vinni before I passed my driving test and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to any of my friends who is looking for a good driving instructor. He is friendly and easy to talk to, honest, very patient and is able to explain things clearly. He is also able to listen to my concerns and be flexible to tailor the lessons to suit my needs – for example I was able to arrange a lesson with him driving through London rather than doing the usual routes around my local area, which helps flagging up any outstanding issues with my driving and ultimately helps building up my confidence in preparation for the driving test.

David Wong - Wimbledon, London (26th June 2012)

Just passed my test today. Had to get up at the crack of dawn for the test at 8.10am. This was my second attempt and honestly, for a long time, I considered myself to be a hopeless case when it comes to driving. I got an instructor who seems to be able to work wonders even with the most ‘dense material’ 🙂 His name is Paul and I can confidently say I wouldn’t have made it without his professional help and emotional support at those moments when you think you’ll never be able to crack it and want to give it all up. Also, drove a lovely mini, hard to find a better car when you’re a learner. Thanks again Britannia and Paul, you’ve done an excellent job!

Bartlomiej Zakrzewski - Wimbledon, London (26th June 2012)

I never had any problems with my instructor or Britannia. Both of them were very professional. My instructor Tim helped me pass my test and made me more comfortable in the driver’s seat. He was very calm, patient and relaxed. He made sure that my mistakes were dealt with, elaborate explanation and practice until I got rid of them. I was lucky to have him as my Instructor. Thanks Tim!

I would like to leave a nice comment for my driving instructor Jon. I would recommend him to every new leaner!

My lessons with Britannia could not be any better. My instructor, Charlie was very helpful are really helped me on the things I struggled on. I enjoyed all of my lessons.

Christian Raimondo - Kingston upon Thames, Surrey (22nd June 2012)

I had Mark as my instructor and he was brilliant. He has an unbelievable amount of knowledge and will definitely get you to pass the test. Most importantly however, was for him, it wasn’t just about the test but making sure I was prepared for after as well. Thanks Mark!

Alex Nicholson - Raynes Park, London (21st June 2012)

I just passed my driving test first time round, thanks to Vinni! Brilliant driving instructor, helped me to be the best driver I could be while being patient and calm and helped me to be confident in my driving. Would definitely recommend him to any new drivers!

Vinni has been a great teacher. Fun, patient and professional. My lessons have never been a chore and have always left me feeling more confident and more able. Many thanks Vinni!

Freddie Battle - Balham, London (20th June 2012)

I would like to say a huge thank you to my driving instructor Neil, who helped me pass my practical driving test today (20/06/2012). An incredibly friendly and relaxed guy who 100% knows what he’s doing and a very keen teacher who really helped me understand the world of driving. I would happily recommend him any day to anyone who wants to learn to drive. Great guy with a brilliant car. Hats off to him. Thank you so much for everything Neil. All the best.

Adam Raimondo - Kingston upon Thames, Surrey (20th June 2012)

I would like to thank my instructor, Jon for getting me through to successfully pass on my driving test. If not for him, I would not have been able to do it in a short time and to my schedule. He was always there for me, sacrificing his free time off during weekends and the long weekend of the public holiday for the Diamond Jubilee to make sure I am ready for the test. He was always on time, making sure I have my lessons even if circumstances were challenging, such as blocked roads on the way to pick me up. There was never any rush, with plenty of time allowed to master the driving. The car was always clean and in perfect working condition. One could certainly tell that Jon takes pride in what he does and deeply cares for his students. And the same attitude goes for the rest of the staff at the school. It is very customer oriented. I had my lessons scheduled and was on the road in a few days from me first approaching the school. The schedule and the test were arranged around me to fit my plan to have a driving licence as soon as possible. I would highly recommend both the school and Jon in particular.

Alevtina Kraseninnikova - Richmond, Surrey (20th June 2012)

I past my driving test last Thursday with 4 minor errors. I would like to thank my instructor John. He did excellent training to my driving skills and he is always on time and patient. John’s training methods are very efficient and useful for new learners to quickly grasp controlling cars. Many thanks, John. Maybe see you for the pass plus course.

Bin Yang - Sutton, Surrey (19th June 2012)

I had manual driving lessons with George in the Worcester Park area. George taught me how to drive a manual car in no time and gave me the confidence I needed to drive a manual car. He was very knowledgeable about the rules of the road and the testing process and made me feel extremely confident before taking my practical road test. He was also very professional and I was very comfortable with him as my instructor. I passed first time and would definitely recommend George to my family and friends!

Nadia Pervaiz - Worcester Park, Surrey (14th June 2012)

Calling all L drivers: Tim teaches to a T, keeps calm when you make a minor or major, makes sure on the road, you aren’t a danger. Hands out tips for turn in the road or parallel parking, he even has banter to keep you smiling! All in all, he’s the one to pick to ensure like me, your green card turns pink!

Zahra B - Richmond, Surrey (12th June 2012)

I just passed my test today first time after having an excellent instructor in James. He was always very supportive and very patient and willing to do his utmost to offer great advice whenever needed. After feeling very nervous before the test, James offered reassurance and encouragement that I believed enabled me to triumph in the test. I would highly recommend James as an instructor who brilliantly combines professionalism while simultaneously creating a wonderful calm atmosphere while you learn to master the necessary driving skills.

Roseina Desmond - New Malden, Surrey (12th June 2012)

I just passed my driving test today and I still can’t believe it. I want to say thanks to my lovely instructor Mary who is a fantastic instructor and good friend aswell. Thank you once again xxxxx

Luminita Ursu - Morden, Surrey (12th June 2012)

Just to say a huge thank you to John my son’s driving instructor. My son has just passed his test first time – entirely due to John’s teaching. When my son first met John he had had lesson with another driving school with an instructor who was frankly a bit bonkers. After this my son said he’d never get in a car again. After the first lesson with John he was full of enthusiasm and it has gone on from there. This man is a real professional and due to his army experience knows a huge amount about driving. We can’t thank him enough!

Nicola Hajduk - Putney, London (1st June 2012)

Finally, I have passed my driving test and I feel very happy. If it wasn’t for Neil, the most experienced driving instructor at Britannia, I would not have been able to pass my driving test! He has experience and is dedicated to help you and a very nice guy. I will definitely recommend Neil to people who haven’t passed their practical driving test so they can pass their examination very easy!

Khaled Mirvais - Greenford, Middlesex (30th May 2012)

I would like to say a big thank you to Tim. He is an excellent instructor who got me up to a competent driving standard in no time at all. His mock test was actually harder than the real thing…I passed comfortably with 4 minors. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Tim to anyone looking to take on their test with confidence.

Steve Nicoll - Teddington, Middlesex (30th May 2012)

Jon is the best driving instructor you could have. He really looked after me and taught me well. I was an extremely nervous driver who couldn’t even steer the wheel and Jon was patient with me and now I have passed my test with only three minors. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without Jon’s excellent instruction. Jon ensures that all his students are provided with service of the highest quality and he never gives up on a student, encouraging them to carry on even if they don’t pass their test the first time round. I really enjoyed learning to drive with Jon and I think anyone who gets Jon as a driving instructor is lucky because they are guaranteed to end up not only with a driving license but also skills which will make them a really great driver.
