Couldn’t ask for more. Always incredibly patient and clear in his instruction, it was a pleasure to be taught by John. With his great instruction I passed first time, offering various personally adapted methods to ensure I could do as well as possible. I would wholeheartedly recommend John for any one looking for an instructor and am very glad to have gotten to know him. The easiest 5/5 I’ve ever given, thanks John.

Thank you so much, without you John! I wouldn’t be where I am now, from being homeless to getting a new job and passing my test first time!! All because of You and CDS. Never let your past define your future! Thank you again mate!

Thanet Local Children’s Partnership Group are excited to be working with the Community Driving school who are delivering this innovative approach to supporting our young people getting back into work and training.
Having had the opportunity to access a similar scheme myself twenty years ago in the West Midlands I can testify that not only did this open up the job market for me but also gave me a sense of achievement and independence which we want to share with our young people.
We would like to thank John for helping our young people access this opportunity.

I want to write this review as John has been such a fantastic instructor. I get anxiety whilst driving and learning with John has taken that away, he is so patient and such a humble lovely soul! He made me feel at ease every step of my learning to drive journey and never did he once get angry at my little mistakes he just helped me overcome them in such a way that made me feel more confident in myself. He also focuses on what you weakest on and will help you build on it by listening and understanding.
He’s is also full of wisdom it makes learning fun and he’s good at making you feel happy even when you don’t feel 100%.
It’s really rare to find such a nice, genuine person not only did he help me with driving he also helped me overcome my driving anxiety. Which is why if you’re looking for a driving instructor I would 100% recommend John. He’s one In a million and generally cares about the people around him.

I am writing this as my son Jack is not on Facebook. John is one of the most genuine, calming, friendly and funny people you could ever meet. He was recommended to us as an instructor and he is such a positive influence to nervous learners. We are so pleased to have met John and are proud to now call him a family friend. Oh! and Jack passed his test yesterday – Thank you John!!
