Client Reviews

I could not be more impressed and satisfied with the service I received from Britannia Driving School, from the moment I picked up the phone to enquire about an intensive driving course to the fantastic feeling of passing my test. My instructor, Vinni was a star and a very patient man! After a 12 year gap of taking my last driving lessons and unsuccessful tests I was beginning to wonder if I would ever get my license. Plans to emigrate abroad proved the impetus I needed to get behind the wheel again but also gave me a very tight deadline in which to try and get my license. Hollie in the Britannia Office was great at talking me through how the course would work, incredibly efficient at booking my tests within such a short timescale (especially when she managed to rebook my theory again within a week because I forgot to bring my counterpart license to the first scheduled test!) and always on hand to help with any queries I had. My instructor, Vinni, was incredibly patience, always thorough and positively challenging with a calm and relaxed manner. His method of teaching was fantastic, always clear and responsive to my driving even after a 4 hours lesson. He instantly put me at ease and built up my confidence behind the wheel. He was also able to spot the key areas I was struggling with and we were able to focus on these in more detail. Before I took my lessons with him I would have never thought I could pass my test let alone pass with only 1 minor fault. I happily recommend Britannia to anyone thinking of taking lessons and especially Vinni as an instructor. I wish I had gone through them 12 years ago but very happy I have gone through them second time round! Thanks Vinni and Hollie!

I passed my driving test at the first attempt which is in no small part thanks to my driving instructor Tim. He is extremely thorough, knowledgeable and patient. He gives handy tips that are invaluable when tackling tricky maneuvers. I can’t speak highly enough of Tim and he was extremely friendly and put me at ease throughout my learning process. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of learning to drive.

Colin Ryan - Richmond, Surrey (20th December 2011)

I had a variety of instructors from other schools but passed yesterday with only 3 minors thanks mainly to Vinni at Britannia. He’s a great instructor who is very thorough and helps you to iron out any small errors you may have picked up. He’s also great at boosting your confidence and picking up on the areas where you need most work. I really feel he was a big part of my passing yesterday, so thanks Vinni!

I passed my practical first time on the 7th of December! I’d like to thank my instructor Neil from Britannia for all his help and especially his patience with me and for making me laugh of course =) couldn’t of done it without you. My experience has been amazing and I’m going to miss it.

I just passed my driving test with my instructor Nick. Firstly I would like to say he has a fantastic car and teaching method. Because of him I passed 2nd time after being with another driving school. I passed with two minor errors which I am very pleased about and can not thank Nick enough it’s the best Christmas present ever. Thank you nick and Britannia.

Britannia Driving School is the one to learn from. I passed first time and am ecstatic. I had put off learning for so long, and wish to thank my instructor Charlie and Britannia. Charlie is a fabulous instructor who was always happy, full of encouragement, calm, patient, very knowledgeable and gave me the confidence to believe that I could drive. He prepared me fully for the practical test and I am so grateful to him. Charlie, you are an absolute star!!! Thank -you , so much. Would like to add that Britannia Driving School reflects a positive, informative and professional approach to learning, well done, I will recommend you to others.

I have just passed my test today, Woo-hoo! and I want to say a big THANK YOU to John – my instructor. Thank you for being You (Professional, friendly, caring and an humorist). I am very grateful for your patience, encouragement (which were always accompanied by sweets, will miss them lol..), and boy!! for nagging at my mistakes – John pays special attention to detail and gave me advice and tips on how to improve every time. You made a safe driver out of me. A massive thank you to Britannia for linking me to John! He is definitely one of your best. I will recommend John to everyone. Will keep in touch John! All the best.

I had a wonderful experience with Britannia. Paul was an amazing instructor and as a result I managed to pass first time without any minors! It was a fantastic feeling and I would definitely recommend them to other learners.

Jennifer Green - Wimbledon, London (12th December 2011)

Passed my test first go!! Thanks to Robert from Britannia!

Mitch Gilbert - Twickenham, Surrey (9th December 2011)

Thanks so much to Nick, who helped me to pass my driving test last week. As a slightly older student I have full time work commitments and Nick was great at fitting lessons in around my hectic schedule – including a late session the night before my test after a last minute panic! The car was amazing to drive and Nick was a really patient and fair teacher (much more positive than my previous instructor!). I’d definitely recommend Nick (and Britannia) to anyone looking to take driving lessons.

Nikki Gunning - Wimbledon, London (7th December 2011)

Dear Britannia, I am very happy with your instructor Lizzie, she is a very good instructor and because of her I passed my test today. I am glad she was my instructor on the test day and that all thanks to Britannia Driving School. Thank you for your very good service with your clients and I want to thank every member or Britannia but especially Lizzie.

Syed Rizvi - Wimbledon, London (7th December 2011)

I would like to thank my brilliant driving instructor Jane. Thanks to her I passed my driving test on the 1st attempt. She is a highly recommended driving instructor. She is calm, polite and has a natural talent in the way she teaches her pupils. I will really miss her lessons. If any one wants to really pass their driving test as well as become a confident and safe driver, then make sure you ask for Jane!!!!!!!!!!!!

Asma Rao - Streatham, London (6th December 2011)

Brilliant!!! I passed on the first attempt, this was mostly to do with Mick and his ability to focus in on what the weaknesses of his students are and improve them. He was very friendly to work with and I got along with him brilliantly. He was also very patient and having driven previously in another country, I had picked up a lot of bad habits that needed ironing out. I will recommend Mick to everyone I know. Thank you Mick!

Ramze Aslan - Wimbledon, London (6th December 2011)

A HUGE HUGE THANK YOU to my driving instructor Mary!!! I passed my test (albeit at my 4th attempt) last Friday, although I am pretty sure it would have been a lot quicker if I had started with Britannia and Mary. Mary is absolutely fantastic and without a doubt the best driving instructor this side of SW and I would recommend her to anyone looking to learn how to drive in a lovely, comfortable and fun environment. She is encouraging, always puts her students first and incredibly supportive (I can’t count the number of times she accommodated my busy schedule for early morning and late night lessons). I cannot thank you enough Mary and I wish you all the best. Winnie xxx

Winnie Awa - Balham, London (4th December 2011)

A very big thank you to my driving instructor Vinni. I passed my test (2nd attempt) with only 4 minors. I only wish I had Vinni as a driving instructor to begin with. I had terrible luck with instructors (unfortunately I had 8 in total) and thought that it was a mission to learn how to drive. But I didn’t give up and Vinni at Britannia- I guess I saved the best for last!! Thank you so much. Vinni is an amazing driving instructor and would recommend him to anyone.

Deirdre Moore - Wandsworth, London (28th November 2011)

Just passed my test first time today. Want to say a big, big thank you to Lizzie for helping me, great instructor. Would recommend to anyone, thanks Lizzie.

Katarzyna Majka - Kingston upon Thames, Surrey (1st December 2011)

I wanted to write a comment/appraisal of the intensive driving course that I took back in July of which I did not write a review. So I thought I would write one now because my driving instructor deserves the credit. “I took the intensive course with Cassandra (one of Britannia’s driving instructors back in July). I cannot sing Cassandra’s praise in a higher pitch. She was a very good coach and a real asset to any driving school. She was funny, relaxed and an all-round good person, she was also a very competent instructor whom made it easy for me to pass my test (second time but I think the examiner was overly critical on the first test). If your in the London area ask for cassandra she is more than worth it, and the school as a whole is very competent and is definitely, in my view, worth the money. Thanks”

Richard Spencer - Fulham, London (29th November 2011)

I would like to say a BIG thank to Mary who has made me become a confident driver. She is a talented, experienced and professional instructor. Not only that, she is very pleasant, patient, honest, a mother and a friend. I had an excellent experience with her, she has done a really great job. I’m very grateful to her. My big thanks to Britannia Driving School as well. I would recommend Britannia Driving School and Mary to anyone who would like to learn to drive. ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU VERY MUCH MARY …. PS BUT I MISS OUR DRIVING!
