Client Reviews – Automatic Driving Lessons

Thank you for the very well organised course you gave to me. My driving instructor TONY was excellent. He was a good teacher, who took his role seriously. He was gentle, patient and firm. He encouraged me when I needed a bit of encouragement. The most important thing was that I passed my driving test on the first time. I will recommend Tony and Britannia to anyone who is serious about passing their test.

I passed my test for the first time – thanks to Sylvie! highly recommend Sylvie as a driving instructor..she makes you feel so comfortable, teaching techniques are great..motivates you and gives you a lot of confidence!very bubbly and friendly love her personality! which is why i was at ease and learnt quickly and passed! 😀 thanks Sylvie!

I passed my driving test first time with Britannia Driving School and I have the wonderful Sylvie to thank for it. After struggling with instructors from other driving schools… I was apprehensive the first day Sylvie picked me up in South West London…but how wrong could I have been! She was patient, detailed, communicative, she made me feel at ease. She didn’t say that I needed 50 lessons just to make more money out of me. She restored my confidence in driving and because of her great and caring personality as well as her fantastic way of teaching, I was more then confident when I met the examiner on the day of my test, even though it was pouring with rain.!! I couldn’t recommend the Britannia Driving School enough! and if you are based in SW London… ask for Sylvie as your instructor. Seriously…? 10 out of 10!!

Everything from the booking of my intensive driving course to the driving tuition I received from Britannia was absolutely first class. My driving instructor Ian was fantastic, he is an excellent instructor and a credit to Britannia, not only did he teach me everything I needed to know in order to pass the test, he made sure he prepared me for driving in different situations, not just driving around the test centre routes. We drove long distance, major roundabouts, busy high streets and this has made me a confident driver and I cannot thank him enough for all his help, patience and for making me enjoy driving. I passed my driving test first time!

Passed my test first time with Daniel yesterday. He was a great instructor, always patient, a big thanks to him.

Passed my test last week thanks to my fantastic instructor Sylvie! About 5 years ago I failed three tests (with a different driving school), which had a really negative impact on my confidence, but from my first lesson with Sylvie I could tell I was being taught by an experienced person who could tell exactly where my driving weaknesses were and provide constructive feedback and tips. Highly recommended!

Britannia as a driving school is very professional in its approach. I am an Indian and did not know about the process but they guided me through it and even helped to book the practical test. My tutor was Sylvie who was excellent. She allowed me to drive in a variety of situations and prepared me well for the test. I would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone interested in an instructor.

I decided to take automatic driving lessons in New Malden, Surrey and was placed with Dave. I am pleased to say I passed 1st time and felt confident heading into the test due to his patience & attention to detail. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend for those keen on gaining an automatic drivers licence. Best, Chris

Thank you very much for helping me to find a wonderful instructor and her name is Sylvia. With pleasure I would recommend her to anybody who wants to learn and enjoy learning to drive safety. First of all she attracted me by her charming personality: she is very positive, open minded and welcoming. Secondly she is very professional (she knows the requirements needed for the driving test which is very important and helping to achieve the highest standard of needs not only for passing the driving test but also for safe driving in the future). She is punctual and very very supportive. Thanks again and I found a new lovely friend Sylvia.

I took my first lesson in 1985 and finally passed my test last week! My instructor Ian managed to relax me and banish any nerves, while always being clear and direct and realistic about what needed to be done to succeed. He was also brilliant and supportive on the day of the test itself, helping me to anticipate fully what was required of me and keeping me calm. I would heartily recommend him.

Just want to say a big thank you to Daniel for helping me to pass my test, brilliant instructor. Would recommend to anyone, thanks Daniel.

After having Jon as my instructor for 3 weeks or so, I have managed to pass my test first time! Jon was so kind and patient as well as managing to keep me entertained during my lessons. Jon has taught me to drive with confidence and without him, I would be no where near passing now. Thank you so much.

It was a really good experiance taking lessons from britannia .. just passed my practical test yesterday 25th Aug 2011 .. many thanx to my instructor Karen .. She guided me really well and focused on my weak points which improved my driving a lot .. thanx to her i passed on my 1st attempt .. I would definately recommend my friends & family.

I passed my test today, but would not have been able to do it without my instructor Tim! I was a complete beginner when I started having lessons with Tim, but he has not only taught me how to drive, but enabled me to understand what I’m doing which has made me a confident driver. He has been incredibly thorough, patient, and encouraging throughout, and really went the extra mile to ensure I has sufficient practice before my test! I would definitely recommend Tim to anybody learning to drive, he’s brilliant!

John was a brilliant instructor who was always patient and made me believe in myself when nerves got the better of me. Thanks to him I was totally prepared for the test and was able to pass first time. We also had some good laughs during the lessons! Thanks John.

I had Albert as my instructor and highly recommend him. I started off practically as a complete beginner. He was very clear with his instructions and always patient when I was struggling. Quick to react when I made a mistake, he helped me relax enough to be confident early on. I passed on my first try and he helped me learn all the way up to the test, covering all aspects of driving. Definitely recommend him.

Focused and encouraging, John is a highly experienced instructor with quite a character (he calls it Greek Spirit). Count on him to pick apart every aspect of your driving, promoting your good habits and rigorously stamping out your bad habits. Having many pupils with first time passes under his belt, he will focus on developing you into a good driver as well as gearing you towards the practical test. I was a very weak driver three weeks ago with a test fast approaching. Admittedly, I didn’t realise the full extent of this until I made those mistakes on the road. John worked on those mistakes patiently until I was confident in all aspects of driving. He was also very professional and dedicated, working his timetable around mine (I work full time and my hours can be a little uncompromising) and sticking to it even though he should have been at home resting when he was ill (despite constant pestering from his mum). I passed first time today!! Britannia provided all the resources I needed on their website plus more. The lessons were by far the best value for money for the caliber of instructors you’re getting as I’ve trialed AA, RED and two other smaller schools in the past. I believe I could have spent far more time (I did it in under 30 hours) and money if I went with another school in hindsight. Thanks John!!

A big thank you to Mary who helped me overcome my driving nerves! Mary is an excellent tutor who’s helpful advice, knowledge and patience was key to me passing my driving test. I couldn’t have done it without her!

I am very happy with Britannia and my instructor Richard. He was very relaxed and made sure to teach me how to be a good driver and not just so I could pass my test. He effectively identified the weaker aspects of my driving which we worked on, making me a far better driver. After passing my test, I feel very confident driving and I have no doubt that it is entirely thanks to my excellent teacher!

Today I passed my driving test, first time, after 60 hours’ instruction with Wayne, over a period of seven weeks. Wayne really pushed me to achieve a very high standard of driving – higher than the minimum required to pass. It was a good strategy: during the test, nerves obviously affected my driving, but I was still good enough to get through. Wayne was always positive – even when I wasn’t! We spent a lot of time working on my particular areas of weakness, and Wayne gave me excellent advice on how to improve in those areas. He was very encouraging, and helped me get from “never driven before” to “qualified driver” in just a few weeks. I am now planning to take the Pass Plus, also with Wayne. Many thanks for everything.
