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.

Absolutely great guy too learn with, especially when you have anxiety and took me ages too get behind the wheel of a car.. made you feel at ease and easy too get along with, no pressure took each lesson at my own pace too learn, highly recommend

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.

I am really grateful to John, for his calm way in which he has helped me to gain the confidence to learn to drive and believe in myself. This I feel , is because he is a gifted teacher who is prepared to share his valuable knowledge and skills. Thank you John
James Jenkins - Pupil
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.

Never once felt out of my depth or nervous whilst on lessons with John, he teaches in a calm way and explains things thoroughly. Thanks for all the help John!
