JLP Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Amazing ! Our son Dylan passed first time with Josh. We are so pleased. Dylan always came back from his lessons beaming. He really enjoyed the whole process. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor, enjoyed every lesson from start to finish!
Fantastic experience: Josh is amazing, he's so calm and patient. Quickly got to know my way of thinking and was able to give me advice that was specific to both the situation and that he knew would help me to stay calm. He doesn't shout or get angry, and can have a good laugh or put the world to rights, all while making sure that you get the best out of the lesson. I never thought I could pass first time but have no doubt that Joshs persistence helping me and encouraging me got me there.
Fantastic experience: Josh takes you through driving items as quickly or slowly as you need him too. Always very clear with communication and is always willing to have a little laugh as you go to calm your nerves. Very good at building up confidence, I was quite startled when I started but his patience and calmness built me up instantly. Couldn't recommend him enough if you can and he charges a very good price. It was an honour to work with him.

Fantastic experience: Josh is a brilliant driving instructor , I highly would recommend him, very supportive and so helpful!
Fantastic experience: Josh had been my driving instructor for a few years (on me thanks to test nerves), and was overwhelmingly patient with me the whole time. Any time I made a mistake I felt safe knowing he could manage it, and would then explain to me later what to do in that situation in the future. He was very encouraging and reassured me, close to the time I passed, that my driving was good and it was only my nerves during the test that were the issue- which is very comforting to hear after failing. He made me feel confident in my abilities and thanks to him I have become a very confident driver. Always punctual, trustworthy, and friendly.All in all I would rate my experience highly and would recommend him to others.

Fantastic experience: Josh is an absolutely amazing driving instructor, 5* isn’t enough! He makes you feel calm, comfortable and confident in your own abilities. I’m naturally an anxious person so finding someone that kept me calm was a must and he excelled. He’s extremely patient but also gives enough push to make you confident. Oh and he was always on time for lessons! Would recommend over & over!
Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for an instructor who is friendly and will make you feel as calm as humanly possible, then look no further! Josh is an incredible mentor and one of (if not the most) patient and understanding people I’ve ever met in my life. I never felt truly overwhelmed with anything that happened whilst behind the wheel with this guy beside me to reassure me of what’s happening and what to expect when you’re at the point of driving on your own. Couldn’t recommend him enough, the driving knowledge he’s bestowed upon me I will be forever thankful for since passing my test. BOOK HIM NOW.
Fantastic experience: Josh was recommended to me by a friend and a work colleague. He is an excellent driving instructor with great deal of patience. He is knowledgable and full of encouragement. He has supported me throughout and I can proudly say I’ve passed my driving test with just 2 minor faults. From booking the lessons to availability.. neither has ever been an issue with him. Very accommodating and puts you at ease. He will work at your pace which helps to keep you calm. His teaching methods are tailored according to your strengths and weaknesses. The car used for driving lessons is new, comfortable and very easy to drive. Due to longer waiting times for the available tests, Josh happily agreed to let me take my test in Canterbury. Although, my test was booked very last minute, we managed to do a couple of lessons in Canterbury to familiarise myself with the area which was very helpful. I’d say he has extensive knowledge of locations in Ashford and around. I would highly recommend Josh, couldn’t have don’t without him!
Fantastic experience: I was a very nervous driver before having lessons with Josh. He’s a very calm and patient instructor and couldn’t recommend him enough! I passed my driving test first time and can’t wait to get on the roads. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Josh is an extremely calm and patient driving instructor. He made me feel at ease and we also had fun during my lessons. If there are any areas of driving you feel like you need to concentrate more on, he we gladly allow you to take control of it all. I was a first time passer for both my theory and my practical driving test. 10/10

His manner was very professional yet i felt very comfortable and relaxed in the car. i would highly recommend Josh when choosing a driving instructor
Fantastic experience: Been learning to drive for almost 2 years with one failed test and passed 2nd time, through this all josh constantly encouraged me and boosted my confidence. Such a friendly face and such amazing communication

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend. Josh is highly professional, calm and patient, which really helps as a learner driver and helped me build confidence in each driving lesson. We worked at a pace that made me feel comfortable but also gave me choices on what to do on each lesson which helped a lot! Best driving instructor!
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend, best driving instructor ever! So calming and passed first time.
Fantastic experience: Best driving instructor! I was a very nervous driver but that didn’t last long with Josh. I passed quickly and am now very confident! I have recommended him to my friends and family!
Fantastic experience: I had a real phobia of driving and being behind the wheel of a car so I was in my mid twenties before I started lessons. Josh was absolutely amazing at dealing with both my nervousness and my crazy schedule. Friendly, comforting, personable and incredibly patient, Josh is the perfect teacher for any body no matter age, experience or circumstances!
Fantastic experience: I have used a couple of driving instructors in the past and honestly believe if it wasn’t for Josh I still wouldn’t be driving today. I was a typical stop/starter with my lessons and he really gave me the gentle push I needed to achieve the results I did. Several of my family members and friends have all used him and we’ve all recommended him onto anyone who ever needs lessons as we were all so happy with him :)
