Client Reviews – Manual Driving Lessons

After failing twice, I got driving lessons from Mary. She was great. She taught me very professionally. She pointed out minute things which were very helpful for my tests. I would highly recommend her.

Just to inform you about my recent instructor Mary, who was very good at instructing and coaching me. She was like a mother to me with a lot of patience and skill. She steered me to success in my practical test and deserves to be commended.

Gifty Donkoh - Brixton, London (23rd May 2012)

Today I passed my test and this is down to a fantastic teacher and that’s Neil! After being disappointed by a previous instructor, Neil gave me the confidence I needed to keep going. He is extremely patient and an all round good guy! I would recommend him to anyone, it was such a pleasure having him as a instructor. Anyone that has him as a instructor is extremely lucky. Thank you so so much (my husband says thank you too as he doesn’t have to drive me around anymore).

Norvela Oliver - Richmond, Surrey (22nd May 2012)

I finally passed my test today, after taking it 2 times with other instructors. I was able to pass by just taking a couple of lessons with James. James is a very good mentor, in that he his very patient and tactical. He has a warm personality, always willing to listen and repeat himself over if needs be. I used my car this time, as I had cancelled with James as a result of an illness. Even as he wasn’t present there today, his words and his teachings were present. A million thanks James, you are simply the best!

I passed my test for the first time today after failing three times with another school and it was all thanks to Tim, he did really good. He pointed out all the mistakes I had which I didn’t know and the way he teaches is really good, you get it very quickly, thanks a lot.

Zakera Abdulqadir - Isleworth, Middlesex (21st May 2012)

I had Jon as my instructor. He was very patient and extremely professional in the way he carried out the lessons. He was always on time, had a pristine car and made the lesson pleasant / enjoyable. I passed my test on the 15th of May and I owe that down to Jon’s teaching skills. Overall I’ve had a great driving experience! Thanks!

Alex Frixou - Hampton, Middlesex (15th May 2012)

I’ve had Neil as an instructor for the better part of the past year and today I passed my practical test on the second attempt. Neil’s been a fantastic instructor and I’ve enjoyed the experience thanks to him, Thank you.

Robert Bass - Chessington, Surrey (14th May 2012)

I had driving lessons with another driving school for 2 periods of about 3 months. I made the decision to change driving schools as I was not progressing at the rate I thought I should have been. I joined Britannia and my instructor was Vinni. What a fantastic instructor! I can’t recommend him highly enough; very patient and motivating, he pushed me to my highest possible potential. Started lessons with him on March 8th, passed 4th May. Thank you Vinni!

Emelda Cupidore - Carshalton, Surrey (10th May 2012)

I passed my test with Mary first time and I can’t recommend her as an instructor highly enough! She made me feel confident about driving from the start which not only made a huge difference in progressing quickly but also in making the lesson more enjoyable. She was always super calm, friendly and such a lovely person. If anyone is apprehensive about starting to learn to drive I strongly recommend Mary as an instructor. Now just to take on board her advice about buying a car too!

Laura Dinnewell - Wandsworth, London (9th May 2012)

A massive thanks to Nick who helped me pass my test first time with clear and patient instruction over several months. The lessons were tailored to my level all the way from absolute beginner through to being test ready and I would definitely recommend Nick to any future learners. The people at Britannia were all friendly and helpful whenever I spoke to them, so thanks to them as well.

Hugh Lowe - Balham, London (9th May 2012)

I wanted to recommend my driving instructor – Albert! I passed my first test with him. It was always a nice time with him on the lessons. Gives good advice and is a good teacher! Go with Albert! Gil.

Gil Drori - Kensington, London (7th May 2012)

NO ONE WOULD MAKE THE DISASTROUS MISTAKE THEN WHAT I DID ON MY TEST. I forgot to put the seat belt before setting off on my test and then examiner prompted me to put the seat belt. During the complete test I drove with feeling that I have already failed and guess what I passed with flying colours only two minors and he ignored my major mistake because I drove it so well. This is all down to how well I was thought by my instructor Tim. If we give level to learner drivers “1 = Excellent, 2=Good, 3=Bad” then I would say I was at level 3 with my driving skills before I started my lessons with Tim. I had two driving instructors before Tim and failed twice with dangerous faults. And being a family man with two little kids, I always wanted to be good driver then just pass my test. I was quite fortunate to get Tim. He has great quality of attention to details. During the lesson he picks really minor mistakes and eventually you become a safe and confident driver. So here is the little mathematical equation: CONFIDENT AND SAFE DRIVER + GREAT CHANCE TO PASS YOUR TEST = TIM FROM BRITANNIA

Raj Goreja - Feltham, Middlesex (4th May 2012)

I just passed my test today 1st time, and it was all down to my instructor Jon! He’s the best and I’m so glad I had him to teach me! Thanks again Jon!!

Holly Newman - Feltham, Middlesex (2nd May 2012)

I’ve just passed my driving test and its down to one very special lady……MARY! From the moment I had my first lesson with Mary, I felt calm and relaxed whilst driving and always looked forward to the next lesson. I cannot recommend Mary enough, she is simply fantastic and I am looking forward to completing Pass Plus in the near future.

Dean Godfree - Balham, London (2nd May 2012)

I passed my driving test on Monday and it was all thanks to Darren. I couldn’t of done it without him. He was patient, understanding, trusting and most of all enthusiastic (even on my bad days). Darren taught me everything I needed to learn and more, as well as being flexible and understanding with my full time work schedule. He creates a calm, relaxing and friendly enviornment making even the most nervous of beginners at ease. I can’t praise him enough. It would be a mistake to not go to him first!

Naomi Nicolaou - Shepherds Bush, London (2nd May 2012)

I recently took some refresher lessons with Tim, having not driven for about 5 years. He was very kind and patient and pitched the lessons at the right level for my needs. I would recommend him to anyone feeling anxious about learning to drive or needing a bit of practice.

Lucy Miller - Hampton, Middlesex (30th April 2012)

I had a fantastic instructor called John – he helped me to pass first time with only two minors. He was friendly, calm and helpful throughout – and also pushed me to really improve my driving skills ahead of the test. I would definitely recommend John and Britannia Driving School to anyone learning to drive. He even brought sweets to help along the long lessons! Alex

Alex Bigham - Stockwell, London (25th April 2012)

I had taken 20 lessons with Neil from Britannia and what more could I say than he was an excellent instructor. He makes learning to drive so simple, explains when you are going wrong and makes you feel confident, I was over the moon when I passed first time. So a massive thanks to Neil. Keep up the teaching Neil, I’m sure many others will be thanking you soon.

Oscar Franklin - Northolt, Middlesex (25th April 2012)

I passed my test yesterday and would like say a massive thank you to Neil. He taught me to be “polite” on the roads and was a very patient instructor. Above all though he was great company. Thanks Neil!
