Fantastic experience: John is amazing!! First time passes for both my son and daughter two years apart.

I passed within 4 months of starting my lessons! Would definitely recommend learning to drive with John’s happy driving academy.

Fantastic experience: Having previously failed a test, I decided an intensive driving course was the best option. Deciding on how many hours I needed was challenging but John was able to guide me in making the right choice. After a few months without having an instructor I was nervous to start driving again. However, John soon helped me with my nerves by remaining calm and reassuring throughout all lessons, especially ones where I struggled to grasp some of the manoeuvres. With John's help and guidance I felt very prepared for test, especially when managing test day nerves. Luckily and with the great teaching from John, I passed with only 2 minors!! Thank you!

I was so glad I picked to learn to drive with John, it was a great experience and with all his help and support I now have my licence! I’d 100% recommend booking in with John if you need an instructor because he really is one of a kind!

Fantastic experience: After recently passing my test I would like to thank John for his support and assistance.

Fantastic experience: I started my driving journey in March 2022 with John, we had weekly 1.5 hour lessons and I can honestly say at every lesson John was just the most down to earth, relaxed and just an all round great person to be around!

Fantastic experience: Incredible! I'd already done some lessons when I went to John and I was terrified of driving and he completely changed the experience for me, it was so much fun and stress free, he made me into a confident driver and I passed first time, all due to John, couldn't recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: I just passed my test today and I couldn't have done it without Johns help! I can't fault my experience, before, during and after covid communication was faultless - John always responded to my messages in a timely matter and was happy to help with whatever he could in my driving journey. John is always fantastically laid back, calm and very clear - perfect for someone with autism like myself! I enjoyed the student-led nature of lessons, I would always be asked questions to lead me to deciding on what we would do on my lessons making me feel empowered and in control. Being a student gives you access to a number of fantastic resources to help with both theory and driving tests, as well as a referral code for a learner insurance company. John is so friendly , positive and patient - he really puts you at ease and helps you to be in the best mindset to learn. All this for a very fair price, I would 100% recommend this company and John especially for a positive and successful driving journey!

Fantastic experience: Hands down BEST instructor I have ever had! Really patient, kind, considerate and understanding! Enjoyed my lessons with him. I passed first time with John Jeffery I would 100% recommend!! Thank you so much for teaching me.

Fantastic experience: John is an amazing driving instructor who helped me massively to learn the key experiences to drive and helped me to stay focused when I was to critical on myself.

Fantastic experience: John taught me how to drive from March 2020 till June 2021 (It only took that long because of covid lockdowns). He was amazing from beginning to end. He was particularly great during the lockdowns, when lessons were postponed, giving me theory tasks to work towards my exam, and also dealing with me impatiently wanting to get back in the car! He was patient and collected the entire time, even when I made some spectacular mistakes! And was always available to message when I had any queries or issues. I would recommend him 1000 times over!

Fantastic experience: John is a great driving instructor, having someone who makes you feel so comfortable in the car was one of the main reasons i was so confident throughout learning with him and during my test. His communication was so helpful for me post lockdown and also whenever i had any issues or had to change the time of a lesson. Driving with him is a relaxed environment but a professional one. A genuinely nice person to be around.

Fantastic experience: John is an amazing driving instructor who really ensured that everything we covered in the lessons was thorough and done to a good ability. His communication with me was absolutely brilliant and he is a really kind and giving person. I was never worried about anything before or after a lesson due to John explaining things in heavy detail and he made sure I understood everything that was being said. Not only this but I felt so comfortable driving with John and he made my driving experience very fun and enjoyable too. I am so happy and pleased with the result of my driving test and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without John, thank you!

Fantastic experience: John is a brilliant instructor; he goes through each lesson with a methodical plan starting with the basics and working your way through. Each process is described clearly and does not miss any details. I would 100% recommend to any new drivers - From a student who passed both the theory and practical first time! #teamHDA

Fantastic experience: I’ve been having lessons with John since January and he’s the best instructor around; he will work at your speed and he will never make you feel rushed or put you off. He’s the most down to earth guy you’ll meet :)

Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time after driving with John, after originally taking a couple of lessons with a different company and not having a good experience my confidence in my driving ability was non existent and I gave up for over a year, then I started my lessons with John and he was extremely patient and understanding and before I knew it I was a confident and happy driver! He is very knowledgable, friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend, learning to drive with John was a great experience.
