Fantastic instructor! My daughter passed with him and will definitely be using him again for my son.
Kate Tooth - Parent
What a fabulous instructor. Calm, collected and patient. Really knows what he is doing.
Paul Parker - Pupil
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.

Recently just passed my driving test with John, Couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to start driving. Thanks John and all the best

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!!
Jane Wood - Parent
John is an excellent teacher and pushed me to gain experience and confidence. Couldn’t recommend him enough!
Chloe Smith - Pupil
An amazing driving instructor: Incredibly patient, great at explaining things and just a really nice guy that’s easy to get on with (which helps a lot!). Couldn’t have passed without him!
Richard Oyewolé - Pupil
John is an amazing instructor and made me feel so comfortable every minute I was in the car with him, he built my confidence immensely and I can’t thank him enough for helping me pass, not only did he teach me incredibly well but his humour is second to none and our lessons were so enjoyable as well.
Scott Bennett - 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
