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!!

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!

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 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

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
