Client Reviews – Manual Driving Lessons

I passed my test yesterday, with ONLY 3 minors… I couldn’t believe it at all, I was convinced I was going to fail as I was SO nervous!!! I started my driving in August with Tim, and I’m so glad I got him as my instructor! It makes the world of difference on your learning curve and how well you drive if you get on with your instructor. Tim has the patience of a saint, knows minute-to-minute details about exactly what you can see, even though he’s not in the driving seat, and knows exactly what to say to get you driving to fantastic test standards. Tim’s main focus is on safety and trust me when I say this – he drives the point home. In fact, the examiner who took my driving test mentioned that I was very safety conscious – ME! Tim also knows the roads around the Borough of Hounslow, and the surrounding areas like the back of his hands! It was great knowing you were in a car with somebody more than competant at what they were doing!!! I’ve already recommended Tim to everyone I know, who wants to start driving. I would recommend Tim to anyone and everyone, especially if you’ve had awful instructors before, trust me, it’ll make a big difference to your driving!

I have just passed my test today with just 4 minor faults on my 1st attempt. I needed to pass as my international licence was about to run out and I am a builder so needed to pass to save my job. The instruction was excellent and I would recommend nick to anyone and have passed his details already to relatives. His knowledge of the local area is excellent and he prepared me for the test as he knew all the routes that we would be using on My test. Thank you nick for your time and patience I am very grateful.

Ho Kim - Croydon, Surrey (25th October 2011)

I have passed my test today and I would like to say BIG thank you to Albert, my driving instructor. It was my third attempt but the first one with Albert. He is very knowledgeable and encouraging. Albert very quickly identified my faults and pushed me hard to improve on them, he explains things in a very clear way which really helped me to make a quick progress with my driving. I would definitely recommend Albert to everyone!

Urszula Kwintal - Shepherd's Bush, London (22th October 2011)

Had Courtley as an instructor. He understood my level of driving skill and told me what I was doing wrong and we worked on my faults, after a few weeks of lessons I passed with only two minors.

Sam Lennon - Sutton, Surrey (19th October 2011)

Learning to drive is an extreme learning curve and a great accomplishment so picking the right instructor is vital! I went with Britannia Driving School who allocated me John, he was a great teacher and with his encouragement to push me, which was what I needed, I was able to pass first time!

Matt Smith - Coulsdon, Surrey (16th October 2011)

A big thank you to Neil for all his lessons. I passed first time with only 3 minors. Neil’s laid back, confident style of teaching meant my confidence soared. I would recommend him any day of the week!

Lisa Taylor - Isleworth, Middlesex (13th October 2011)

Tim Higgins - Twickenham, Surrey (11th October 2011)

Daniel is a really patient instructor who made it really easy to learn to drive. I really enjoyed all my lessons.

Nora Balfe - Clapham, London (10th October 2011)

Would just like to thank Britannia and my instructor Sam. Sam was quick to pick up my areas of weakness and alerted me to these from the first few minutes of being in the car with him. I was surprised that despite all his other pupils he was able to remember specific good and bad points concerning my driving from the week or weeks before. His clear instructions and handy tips ensured I passed soon after taking up lessons with him. Thank you for everything. Good luck to all the learner drivers hoping to pass soon.

Lauren Hamilton - Brixton, London (9th October 2011)

I had to change my driving instructor a couple of weeks before my test due to unfortunate circumstances, and was lucky enough to get Tim. Tim spotted things that no one had before and was by far the best instructor I’ve had. He’s knowledgeable and encouraging and was excellent all round. I’d recommend him in a heartbeat.

Tom Perry - Richmond, Surrey (5th October 2011)

Would like to say thank you so much to Vinni for giving me the confidence and skills to pass my driving test today. I felt well prepared for my test and I would highly recommend Vinni to anyone. Vinni is an Excellent driving instructor.

Charlotte Clark - Streatham, London (5th October 2011)

Just want to say a massive thanks to John, he is a excellent instructor. Previously I had a few lessons with a different company which I found hard to follow as there was no real relationship between myself and the instructor, with John it was totally different he made me feel relaxed and confident from the very first lesson (being a fellow Chelsea supporter this made it even more easier!!!) I really should of passed first time but a silly mistake by myself caused otherwise but second time as they say in football “it was in the back of the net” I would definitely recommend anyone looking to start taking lessons to go with Britannia and especially John as he fills you with confidence from the word go but also makes the lessons enjoyable with all kinds of great stories…So I will say again…Thanks John for making it so easy (and also Chelsea for the Premiership and Champions League double this season…Come on the Chelsea!!!)

Jon Holder - Tooting, London (5th October 2011)

I passed my test on the second attempt and throughout this nerve-wrecking journey of taking classes and taking the test, my instructor VINNI helped me in overcoming my fears of driving especially roundabouts. He was very supportive and never overlooked any minor faults that I made, in fact he showed me the right way of driving.

Nitika Agrawal - Wimbledon, London (5th October 2011)

Neil was simply fantastic! He was pragmatic, fun and above all you could tell that he loved to teach. That’s what made all the difference! Passed my test with just 3 minors (after having failed the last time with 2 dangerous and 2 serious when learning from another instructor / another school!) Highly recommend him and Britannia 🙂

Sandilya Gopalan - Richmond, Surrey (4th October 2011)

I highly recommend my driving instructor Jon. It was great to have someone as funny & patient as him. + he’s very international 🙂 I passed first time and am really happy with Jon & Britannia.

Sophia T - Richmond, Surrey (4th October 2011)

I just passed my Driving Test first time thanks to Britannia and my instructor Jo. Jo was so patient and relaxed she made it seem easy (eventually!)

Sophie Rix - Herne Hill, London (4th October 2011)

I had my driving lessons with Jon who helped me pass my test first time! His easy going nature and good humor made my lessons very enjoyable, he gave me his time and patience which gave me confidence when doing my lessons. I would defiantly recommend him!!
