Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Muhammad for anyone looking for a patient, professional, and knowledgeable driving instructor. His clear instructions, calm approach, and encouragement made all the difference in helping me pass my test on the first attempt! He focused on building my confidence, correcting my mistakes with great feedback, and ensuring I was fully prepared for the test. Thank you for making learning to drive such a positive experience!

Luke Garrett 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: I needed some refresher driving lessons after not driving for many years. I was paired with Ahamed and can strongly recommend him. He is a very calm, patient and pleasant instructor. I highly recommend his services if you are looking to get back on the road, or if you’re just starting out!

Fantastic experience: Muhammad is an excellent instructor who had helped me passed first time helping me improve my manoeuvres and technical driving

Fantastic experience: Muhammad was an excellent instructor! Just what I needed to get on to A3 and M25. With his help i understood Guildford and neraby areas better, he really understood what my aim was after passing my driving licence, and he helped me achieve that. I also appreciate him sending clips and videos after lessons, to help improve my mistakes. Now I'm on the A3 and M25 almost everyday!

Positive experience: Good school with plenty of availability to get booked in quickly. Unfortunately Parvez loses his temper very quickly when you make mistakes and constantly shouts, creating a stressful and uncomfortable learning environment. I would recommend JDS under a different instructor.

Emal Said 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have passed my driving test recently, thanks for the professional support and comprehensive advices and instructions from Parvez. The structure of the lesson is very much focussed on the practical aspects of the driving, which makes you better prepared for all that will come in your real exams. In addition, Parvez has an ability to establish a good and friendly environment during the driving lessons, which speeds up your leaning process.

Fantastic experience: I passed my test today, Learning with Parvez was absolutely amazing, I found his method of teaching is simpler and easy to understand I cant thank him enough I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: The driving experience with parvez was great he did an amazing job letting me know the key points in my mistakes and what I needed to work on. He was patient with me when I did make mistakes and showed me the correct way of doing things while driving. I’d 100% recommend him

Rob Harris 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: A first class experience from the very beginning. I managed to pass my driving test on the first try thanks to Parvez. He has a complete knowledge of what it takes to pass the driving test and will teach you all aspects of driving, as well as specific things you will need to pass your driving test (show me/tell me questions and driving manoeuvres). He is always patient and never shouts at you when you make mistakes, just reminding you what you need to do better next time. He is also flexible with pick up location and always responded quickly to messages. Thank you Parvez!

Salaar Kamal 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I messaged Parvez directly at the end of May asking for driving lessons as my theory was going to expire late July. Parvez immediately got me booked in and gave me my first lesson only a couple days later. Parvez is a very good instructor and knows everything you need to pass. I passed my test on the first go and Parvez was a great help in getting me ready. I would definitely recommend him.

A J 4 years ago

Positive experience: The overall experience was good, Parvez was a good instructor for helping me build confidence in driving and ensured that I was ready for the exam.

Burak Hatipoglu 4 years ago

Negative experience: Be aware of that the company works with 3rd party contactors who does not work for this company, the owner is nice if you do get assinged to Parvez then he shouts a lot which is not ideal to learn driving lesson. I lost my other instructor as I wasted my time with this contractor. Be aware that many local instructors not taking new pupil for the foreseeable future due to the huge backlog caused by constantly going into lockdowns for the past year. If you want someone shout at you when you commit mistakes then you shall proceed with this company for auto driving lesson from Parvez , otherwise I do not recommend this company.

Puja Parekh 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My experience was great, had the support needed through out the whole journey. The best thing about it all was my instructor Parvez, he was patient and motivating. Parvez made it sure I got the basics right considering I had never driven before. I could not have done it without his help. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

Josephine Orobator 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’m glad I picked JDS driving school for my driving lessons. Instructor Parvez is really good at his job. He pushes and encourages you to be serious so you don’t keep wasting money and time and he’s also very patient. If you’re looking for automatic driving school, don’t hesitate to contact JDS. I passed first time and I’m so excited. Thank you JDS. Thank you Parvez.

Marlyse Ayissi Ashuyong 5 years ago

Positive experience: I am glad I picked JDS driving school especially my driving instructor Parvez. All thanks to Parvez after 30 hours of lessons, I am glad to say I passed my practical test under his watch and at my very first attempt with 4 minors. I will strongly recommend JDS driving school. Thank you Parvez for all you thought me and making sure I was test ready.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend JDS driving school. Parvez was an amazing driving instructor. He was patient and very clear when teaching. He clearly shows dedication to what he does and is so engaged in making sure you not only pass the driving test but become a really good driver. He is also very friendly which made the driving tests enjoyable. He always encourages you and helps build up your confidence if it takes you longer with certain areas. I would highly recommend him as a driving instructor. Im certain I wouldnt have passed if it wasnt for him.

Nicola Camille Cerrillo-Narvaez 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend JDS driving school. I can’t thank Jo enough for helping me pass my driving test. She made me comfortable all throughout our lessons as she was approachable, calm and very patient. I found Jo’s way of teaching very detailed and easy to understand. Also, at the end of each lesson she will always say, “You’ve done really well today,” which is really a confidence booster. Thanks so much for your help, Jo! All the best! x

She is patient, detailed and has such encouraging words that keeps you going and want to do more “you did very well today”.

Joanna's teaching are so details step by step explains where you went wrong. Doesn't push you when you are flustered. Joanna just keeps calms talks you through the situation.

Fantastic experience: After a really bad experience learning to drive on a manual car I felt hopeless in my driving ability and my confidence was very low. Jo instantly made me feel at ease with her calm but knowledgeable attitude. She knows every test route and ensured we covered all possible scenarios that might arise during a test - she really is ‘on it’!! The car is also lovely to drive and easy to adapt to. Overall Jo made my experience so positive and I’m now so excited to drive. Thanks so much Jo

Fantastic experience: Jo is such a kind professional instructor and she is exceptionally patient. I really appreciate her approach where she not only teaches comprehensively but also effectively spots the weakness of my driving skills (which I did not realize before) and focus on that. I passed the driving test in March 2019 and I would continue to have drive plus sessions with Jo as I think Jo is really helpful. Highly recommended!
