John is a very experienced driving instructor who responds very professionally to the needs of his students. His many years of experience allow him to train new drivers in a way that imparts not only the knowledge needed for the test but also a lot of practical experience for the future. John's approach and patience are crowned by the success of his students. Our daughter learned great skills from John and passed the test with flying colours – first time / full score. Thank you so much, John, for teaching our daughter the necessary skills for a safe future behind the wheel.

A huge thank you to John for helping me pass my driving test on the first attempt! He was always patient, professional, and explained everything clearly. His calm teaching style made me feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel, and he genuinely cared about helping me become a safe driver. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor and would highly recommend John to anyone learning to drive. Thanks again, John! - Seb & Claudia

Highly reccomend John, he is an outstanding driving instructor. After just 4 lessons, he helped my grandson Max pass his test with 100%! Which says everything about his teaching ability.
He is patient, clear, and knows exactly how to build confidence behind the wheel while still focusing on the details that matter.
Max felt comfortable, well-prepared, and genuinely supported every step of the way.
If you are looking for someone who gets real results without wasting time, I highly recommend John.
Thanks,
Pete

John has been an incredible instructor. Throughout all our lessons he stayed calm, explained everything so well, and increased my confidence with every drive. I passed the test on my first try and truely don’t believe I would have been able to do so if it wasn’t for John. I feel prepared to drive alone thanks to the support and guidance he has given me. Thank you John 🚙

I'll let my daughter, Lily, write her own review having passed her test with flying colours today! From a parent perspective, John has excellent communication and organisational skills and is genuinely invested in his students. He's incredibly reassuring/knowledgeable and has that fantastic blend of positive encouragement and straight-up feedback. Thank you John

I just past my p's first try and couldn't have done it without Johns instruction. John is really relaxed and patient and has so much experience behind him which just made learning manual so easy and comfortable. Driving force is the best driving school by far and i'd recommend them over any other school any day.
