Really helpful, great guy and a great instructor. Worth every penny!!!

Chris Clifton - Pupil

John was an outstanding instructor for me, and I’m so pleased that I found him to teach me to drive. Not once throughout all of my lessons did I ever feel pressured or out of my depth, John teaches in a genuine and efficient way and became a friend who was really easy to get along with, making all the lessons fun and stress-free. Thanks John!

Oscar Crosbie-Smith - Pupil

The change in “A” over the past few months is incredible… He has handed out his CV and has opened up about his experiences… He has more belief in himself & is starting to see a positive future and I believe this is down to our partnership.

Great driving instructor, really helped to build confidence, and was just generally very good, very flexible with lessons, and just all in all a good teacher and a great guy, would recommend to anyone.

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.

Passed first time with this amazing driving instructor. Such a pleasure to learn to drive with someone funny and who majes you feel at ease. Very patient and understanding, he has helped me so much! Thank you John!

Megan Moody-Smith - Pupil

John gave me the confidence to pass my test at the first attempt.

Kenan Alibash - Pupil

For anyone that suffers with driving anxiety like myself, I would definitely recommend John, he is very laid back and takes your mind off of stressful situations on the road, we had a lot of laughs and that’s what got me through it and gave me the confidence to pass my test first time! I never would of thought that would be possible, but I did it! Thank you John
