Fantastic experience: My grandson passed his driv8ng test this week as a result of having lessons with John. He has some driving lessons with another instructor but my grandson was making little or no progress and he was being told he would never pass. John explained every instruction he gave and we are delighted to recommend him as an instructor. Thanks a million John.

Fantastic experience: My daughter recently passed her driving test with john’s help, After several lessons(& missed appointments)with another driving school, John was like a breath of fresh air. Very reliable and patient and very easy to get along with, my daughter looked forward to her lessons every week. I can’t recommend John highly enough and my son will be taking lessons with him once he’s 17.

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test on the first try in Brentwood. John was incredibly thorough and ensured we covered every tricky area, so there were no surprises on test day. He carefully planned my training schedule and adjusted it as the test date approached to address any areas where I needed more practice. John’s clear guidance and supportive approach made all the difference. Thank you so much, John!

Adelina Ukaj 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: John is a great instructor, very patient and knowledgeable! Had a great time during my learning journey from complete beginner. Thanks John, keep up the great work!

Theo Lawrence 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Learning from John was an absolute pleasure and he took me from an incredibly anxious beginner to a confident driver and I sincerely looked forward to our lessons every week! John’s teaching is some of the best I could hope for. He explains things patiently and makes all the confusing parts very digestible and easy to understand. I passed first time and I’m actually a bit sad because now I won’t be learning from such a great guy! If you come across John’s school, please take lessons from him, I really can’t imagine you’d find better anywhere else!

Lijoy Tom 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Helped me to get accustomed with UK Roads coming from another country. Very good instructor.

Beth Parr-Morley 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I booked refresher lessons with John after not driving for over ten years. I had completely lost my confidence and was incredibly nervous to get back in front of the wheel. John was reliable, patient, calm, and clear with his instructions. If we encountered any issues, he would always take the time to explain what had happened (and why) and then build my confidence to face the situation again. Thanks to John's help, I was able to not only get back in the car with an instructor beside me, but am now able to safely get out and about on my own as well. I couldn't have got to this point without him.

Novita Lumban Gaol 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: If you want to learn from the best then John is your guy . Seriously don’t bother to look for different instructor. I am so glad I took lessons with him which recommended by a friend of mine and He helped me passed my first time, 31 years old ,never driven before .Listen to Him and do your homework. Good luck to everyone out there who is trying to pass driving test.

Brett Gandy 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend John enough as an instructor. As a 31 year old who had never driven a car before I was extremely nervous and doubtful I would ever learn to drive. After my 1st lesson with John I started to believe it would be possible. Fast forward 6 months I managed to pass my test 1st time! John made sure I was ready well before time and went over every little detail before the test. He took me on the actual test routes and I couldn't have been more confident come test day. I had even had a month gap between my last lesson and the test as I had moved house but John made sure he made time so we had a few hours practice before the test. John is such a calm composed instructor I never felt under pressure and was always confident in my driving with John in the car. John is a lovely man and I wish him and his business every success in the world!

rachel rolton 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I fully recommend John as a driving instructor. He is very patient and kind and easy to get along with. I went from having no knowledge of driving to passing first time thanks to John. Coming up to my test he took the time to go over all the things I was concerned about until I was confident. He has really built my confidence being on the road and I really couldn't thank him enough. He gave me excellent feedback after each lesson. He is an amazing teacher. I was so happy with how many driving lesson slots he could fit in his busy schedule as it came close to my test. I done the right thing picking styles steering, and I cannot thank John and his wife enough.

George English 1 year ago

Bethany Clarke 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend John enough as a driving instructor! I came to John and was so nervous/anxious about driving. He really takes the time to get to know what works for his students and how to bring out the best of you. Thanks to this, I gained confidence with my driving and I passed my driving test first time. If you’re looking for an instructor who is kind, reassuring, patient and takes care in their students then John is your guy!

Fantastic experience: My 17 daughter did her research before choosing her driving instructor and she definitely made the right choice choosing Styles Steering. . Today, after 8 months, she passed with no faults at all! John is patient, honest and so supportive. He made time to speak to me before her lessons started and each week gave great written feedback and things she could work on inbetween lessons. I will definitely be contacting him again when my younger daughter needs lessons. Highly recommended!!!

Ruth Omoregie 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a refresher lesson with John, after having a 4 year break from driving. I was anxious about getting behind the driving seat, especially now with a baby in tow.

Fantastic experience: I must sincerely thank you for helping me out with all your dedication and pro-work John. It's all because of your efforts and personal advice - you've been my spare eyes, my spare ears, and my smart personal advisor during the last few months so I'll never forget your dedicated work and I'll always appreciate the talent you adhere with me as individual approach to any individual not unlimited to the rules of DVSA. I'll highly recommend Styles Steering to everyone forever and ever. *****

He ensures students grasp each concept before moving forward, and his knowledge of traffic laws and safety procedures is exceptional. John's dedication to his students' success and adaptability to their schedules make him the ideal choice for any new driver, and he helped me pass first time for a short amount of time.

Fantastic experience: I can not recommend John enough! My experience learning to drive with him was absolutely a pleasure. He is very kind, reliable and patient; he will very quickly pick up on how you learn best and adapt the teaching. He made me feel confident and comfortable driving, not just for the exam.

Kay 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'm genuinely upset that you can't put more than 5 stars on a review tbh Never in my life have I met a driving instructor with as much kindness and patience as John. The man is a living legend and you WILL pass your test learning with him, 100%

Fantastic experience: I passed my manual driving test first time this week and I am very grateful for all of John's support, from my first driving lesson just after my 17th birthday right up to my driving test. He always made sure I understood everything and really helped to build my confidence on the roads. He was always encouraging and patient, especially when it came to improving my reversing skills! I am looking forward to my new found independence now I can drive and would strongly recommend John as an instructor to anyone who wants to learn to drive.

Joe Garwood 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure having lessons with John! Very patient and clear with his teaching. Would really recommend!

Isabelle Fallows 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Could not have asked for a better experience with learning how to drive from being a complete beginner! John is super calm and supportive which helped me to be confident on the roads. He answers all questions clearly and with little situation examples to ensure you know how to tackle pretty much anything the roads can throw at you. Would highly recommend John to anyone in need to driving lessons!

Jesse “JJ0” Jonah 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure working with John through out the past few years. When covid forced people to cancel their tests and learning lessons and we had to wait for months in able to get back to it, John was there to help me out on the lessons and I’ve learnt from his suggestions and advices very easily. No complaints working with him and I do appreciate the card that he and his wife sent me after finally passing my driving test this month. 10/10 and no better person to help you get your driving started. Thank you sir

Jess M 3 years ago

Hey Arnold 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Haven't driven in 10 years so needed refresher training after purchasing my first car. John helped me get my confidence back with just a few lessons! He was very patient, calm and explained everything so clearly therefore made everything easy to understand. Also left notes at the end of each lesson to go back to in order to work on it on the next lesson. Will definitely be coming back for more hours to further improve my confidence.

Lucy Molineaux 3 years ago

Lauren 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recently had some refresher lessons with John as it had been a number of years since I’d driven. John was very friendly and calm and he helped me build up my confidence on the road in preparation for getting my first car. John was very helpful in answering my questions and helped make driving enjoyable and stress-free.

Amaka E 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I reached out to John 2 weeks before taking my manual driving test. I had previously passed with an automatic licence but I was struggling to get my head around manual driving. John was extremely patient and because of all that he taught me in only 3 lessons, I was able to pass my manual driving test with one minor. A big thanks to John (and his lovely wife that I initially spoke to!!) I would definitely recommend anyone who is looking to learn how to drive with a safe, calm and knowledgeable driving instructor to reach out to John!

J H 3 years ago
