I have been learning with John over the last year. His lessons are thorough and he has helped to build my confidence on the road and in the car during the course of my lessons. I felt thoroughly prepared for my test and I passed first time with no minors!
I would thoroughly recommend learning with John Parker at Mini Driving School.

I had a great experience learning how to drive with Mini Driving School. John was a professional, patient and supportive instructor throughout my lessons. I found his teaching clear and effective, especially when explaining driving techniques and how to stay safe while understanding the car itself. The lessons were enjoyable and informative, and they really helped me build my confidence on the road and prepare for my driving test.
I would strongly recommend John to any aspiring drivers looking to learn how to drive.

John came highly recommended. He'd had my husband and other friends as students and the reviews have always been superb. He is very patient, kind, honest and a professional teacher. When he said I was ready to pass my test and that I was doing everything needed, that was the confidence boost I needed because I knew that if I wasn't ready, John will say so. He is not only interested in you passing the driving test but in you being a good driver.
I'm glad I was able to do him proud as well, passing on my first attempt 😀.
I will always recommend him 100%.

Meeting John was quite an experience. My instructor turns out to be a friend. John demonstrates all the fine qualities that makes it easy for a student like me to learn. He is very patient and calm, he is not just interested in passing the exams, but in the quality of your driving as well. Each time I hear others talk about their instructors, I realised how blessed I am to have the best one! Five star is an understatement, it should be seven! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

John is a very friendly and calm instructor which is extremely helpful in calming your nerves at the most anxious of moments – he’ll always provide honest feedback during the lessons which is essential for improving and becoming a better driver.
John is very knowledgeable and his lesson structure is based on what he feels you need to improve on. So, If you are looking for an instructor to teach you the safest way to drive and help you pass, then look no further!!
I can't recommend him highly enough!! You ROCK John Parker :)

Trying to get an answer out of them was like getting blood from a stone only to be told there was no availability at all in our chosen area. Shocking customer service.

I had a fantastic driving experience with my instructor John. He had also taught my brother before me who passed first time. I had previously failed my test before with another driving school and lost confidence in driving. John brought back both my confidence and enjoyment for driving. A fantastic instructor!

Excellent experience, I had 40 hours worth of lessons but it felt like double that amount. The teaching is of very high standard and you're taught to become a safe and confident driver. I passed on my first attempt with John and look forward to pass plus lessons so I can build on my skills. Recommended to lots of my friends who have also passed with the company!

I would recommend the Mini Driving School to anyone!! As I got no minors on my driving test and I wouldn't of achieved it without their help and I would recommend the pass plus to as well. Its a great way to learn, I never had any hesitation to ask any questions no matter how stupid they may have been. Mini Driving School couldn't of been any more helpful.
