Fantastic experience: Just wanted to say a “BIG” “THANKYOU” to you Jon for getting my son, Nathan, through his driving theory test and to his driving test and him passing 1st time. I will definitely be recommending you. Best regards, Pam
Fantastic experience: Jon made me feel very comfortable from the very first lesson, and really helped me to pass my test. He was very patient and explained my mistakes very well which helped me to correct them. I couldn’t recommend him enough.
Fantastic experience: Jon was absolutely amazing! I felt so supported and comfortable with him, and he was so patient with me. I passed first time with him and cannot recommend him enough!
Fantastic experience: Got told about Jon by a friend at work was a bit nervous about starting to drive but he was really supportive. He always made the lessons interesting was always a good laugh I took my test on the 1st October and passed first time. I was given plenty of test route practise to help as much as possible when it came to the test itself. Highly recommend Jon he is a very good teacher very supportive. Thank you Jon for everything
Fantastic experience: Just passed first time thanks to John's lessons! He was friendly, professional and always put me at ease. 100% recommended.
Fantastic experience: The BEST instructor!! I have had many issues with driving due to past experiences, all together it took me 6 years to finally get my licence with many of those years refusing to get behind a wheel. I knew i needed to overcome this, i am so glad i chose Jon and i would give more stars if possible. Jon you have been incredible and i thank you for everything you have done. I now have my licence and i couldn't be happier, thank you again :’)
Fantastic experience: Very professional polite and never late overall good instructor
Fantastic experience: I successfully passed my Driving test on the 16th May with Jon as my amazing instructor. Jon gave me confidence and taught me to focus. What an amazing guy, he knew when I was feeling anxious, knew when to calm me down and focussed on not only my weaknesses but my strengths as well. I only took the test twice with 3 minors to pass. You will not regret using Jon to teach you, no matter your age as he is patient, thorough and helps you through a stressful experience. He is definitely worth it. Good luck to all of you out there learning to drive. With Jon you are in the best care.
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Jon enough! Best instructor ever!!! Having started lessons several times over the years I could never get on with it and gave up when it got tough. Then I met Jon, from the first lesson he was reassuring and helped build my confidence. Jon never allowed me to be hard on myself and always gave encouraging feedback when I felt like giving up. He has the patience of a literal saint and is the only reason I was able to continue. He believed in me more than I believed in myself and that support is what got me through it all. Hearing “you’ve passed” with Jon there is an incredible moment. Saying that learning to drive is a tough journey is a major understatement but I can confirm it’s not so bad with Jon by your side.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend, Jon is an amazing instructor who ensures you understand all the rules of the road, he’s very patient and reassuring so you feel comfortable whilst on the road and the 2 hour lessons help you progress quicker and become a more confident driver :)
Fantastic experience: Jon is an excellent driving instructor who ensures you understand everything about the roads. He explains everything very well, there isn’t someone who can help you pass your test like Jon.
Fantastic experience: Could not recommend more. Jon totally transformed my approach to driving and changed my headspace which was my main barrier to succeeding. He has the patience of an actual saint and completely understands the mental side of learning as well as the physical. I had a bad experience with a previous instructor which knocked my confidence to the floor, so I was extremely apprehensive to begin the process again with a new instructor but Jon made the transition so comfortable and easy. It was actually bittersweet to pass my test because I will miss seeing Jon! Total legend :-)
Fantastic experience: I must say, this is one of the best driver instructor. We have took few lessons and from these lessons I’ve learned so many things about driving, I’ve today officially passed my driving test with ONLY 2 minors. Considering I’ve took only few lessons and with my own experience of driving, I am very happy of the result. I will recommend this amazing driver instructor to every single friend who are struggling to drive on roads. Each lesson was 2 hours and within the two hours I’ve learned much more than an 1hour driving. Anyway I must praise Jon the driver instructor, being so patient and passionate instructor. Jon drives a cool fiesta, well taken care of, jon the instructor has a great sense of humour, making the lesson seem a lot easier.
Fantastic experience: Passed second time with Jon after 5 lessons cracking bloke you can have a laugh with and very knowledgeable and a brilliant teacher cheers Jon

Fantastic experience: Thanks to John for helping me pass my driving test. He made learning to drive a great experience and was always there when I needed advice. I would strongly recommend John as a driving instructor.
Fantastic experience: I started too do lessons with Jon in July and I'm glad i did. He is very good at explaining everything, makes lessons fun and can have a good laugh with. I had my driving test yesterday and passed first time thanks to all the skills I've learnt from Jon. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: John is a fantastic instructor. I found him on here after being let down and told I wasn't ready for my test 2 months later I passed first time. Couldn't recommend him enough. Thank you John
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend for anyone whether a full beginner or already has some experience! I passed first time in under 40 hours, thanks to their guidance and teachings I am now confident and skilled on the road!!!
Fantastic experience: Upon a glowing recommendation I contacted Mickleover Driving School for driving lessons for my son. John (the instructor) was fantastic. He did his utmost to accommodate times that were convenient - not an easy task as son was away at Uni and only home infrequently. John always turned up on time and made the lessons enjoyable. John has calmly and professionally guided our son through to pass his test first time. I highly recommend Mickleover Driving School to anyone wanting a skilled, personable instructor.
Fantastic experience: very good teacher, able to learn quickly and very helpful
Fantastic experience: Really helpful instructor, passed today after failing 3 times with a different instructor and felt a lot more confident this time all because of a few lessons with Jon, would definitely recommend if anyone’s looking for a driving instructor
Fantastic experience: Great instructor. Had a good time learning with him despite not being a naturally talented driver, and ultimately passed my test on my first try with 1 minor fault.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend to any new drivers or even ones looking to refresh before a test, he was very helpful and allowed me to learn at a good pace
Fantastic experience: A BIG thank you to Jon!!! I successfully passed my test on Thursday with 2 minor. It has been a long journey with me and Jon. To be honest I am no natural driver and English is my second language. I was a nervous learner and I struggled with many many things. Jon stuck by me throughout even when I wanted to give up. He is not just a great instructor he gave me the strength and belief to keep going. I can not thank Jon enough and I will always remember those weeks and the courage Jon gave me to persist and push myself. If Jon can get me a pass he can teach anyone to drive. Thank you again Jon and I will miss our time together. Sam.
Fantastic experience: Jon provides comprehensive lessons that prepare you for your test, whilst also providing you with enough driving experience to be confident on the road after passing. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test today!!so excited and emotional! wanna say a BIG THANK YOU to Jon,I couldn't drive and pass it without his help.I was totally white paper about driving when I started in February this year, and now I m much more confident to drive on the road by myself. Jon had so much pathence to show me all the details which I should be aware while driving, always friendly, professionally and easily to talk any questions.I definitely recommend him to any new learners and the ones who wanna re-learn.so I would give him 6 out 5 stars!!!
Fantastic experience: Jon really helped my daughter feel more confident with her driving. She had an accident last year and has struggled with busy dual carriageways since. In just a couple of sessions, Jon has made her feel a lot more confident and willing to tackle them. The lessons were enjoyable and he provided helpful feedback about what to work on going forward.
Fantastic experience: Felt really safe and comfortable driving with Jon. He made for a extremely enjoyable and safe learning and driving experience. Not only making it up beat but also that he was aware at all times, and in control when needed. Not only did he assure me when it came to my test, but he showed that he had a lot of faith, which really helped when it came to my test. And because of all this, I'm happy to say that I passed first time, all thanks to the helpfulness and patience of Jon.

Fantastic experience: Jon is the best. Could not have passed without him! He was patient, understanding and clear in his instructions. Highly recommend to new drivers that are nervous about getting on the road.
Fantastic experience: Jon is the best instructor i could have ever asked for his teaching techniques helped me through every stage off my driving journey and his calmness and passion for wanting me to pass and succeed first time helped me pass my test when it came to the big day. The experience jon gave me not just to pass the test but the experience of being an all round safe and confident driver has meant that my confidence on the roads rocketed up , I instantly clicked with jon and I found my Wednesday Driving lessons to be the highlight of my week. I want to sincerely thank Jon for everything he has done to make my driving journey as easy and enjoyable as it could have ever been and I would Highly recommend Jon to anyone looking for an Instructor , I will thoroughly miss my Wednesday Driving lesson with Jon.
Fantastic experience: I’d highly recommend. I learned so much so quickly. He was a very good teacher.
Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend enough as a driving instructor. After being unhappy with my previous driving instructor, I came to Jon for lessons. My previous instructor was happy collecting the money and didn't seem to care about me passing. Jon immediately began getting me test ready and picked up on things that my previous instructor hadn't noticed. Jon worked with my difficult schedule and worked at the pace I wanted to. On top of this, Jon is a lovely guy who's very easy to get on with, which makes driving lessons much more relaxing.
Fantastic experience: Such a great guy. Really easy to get along with and gave clear, helpful instructions making every lesson an absolute pleasure. Really can't thank him enough, he's just excellent and has great teaching methods that move at your own pace. Simply couldn't have passed my test first time without him and I will be recommending him to every learner out there. Thank you Jon!!
Fantastic experience: I'm so happy with the way my lessons were planned and delivered. Me and Jon had so many adventures in the time it took to complete the course. I was treated very well and was able to learn very quickly and efficiently. Thank you Jon !!!!!!!!
Fantastic experience: Wow where do i start.. If you are looking for a driving instructor, look no further. Jon was a great Instructor through and throughout. He is a perfect example on the road and was patient with me, while teaching me thorough road discipline. We went over everything, to where i'm now a confident driver while maintaining safety and not hesitating on the road. Jons a genuine guy, and not disrespectful in any way. Even when we were 1 hour into the lesson, he let me take a leak round a bush no questions asked.. when u gotta go u gotta go. Godbless the man! Anyway, i passed my test first time, and i owe it to Jons fantastic teaching. Couldn't of asked for a better, and more down to earth instructor. Godbless.
Fantastic experience: Many thanks to Jon, Our daughter passed her test first time. He always helped her throughout and gave her all the confidence needed upto and during her driving test.She is now an able and confident driver.
Fantastic experience: During my lessons with Jon, i built a good relationship with him, every lesson was very fun and educational but he was also strict where needed be. On my test day i was a little nervous but thanks to how he took his time with me and talked to me before the test i knew i had to do my best. Thanks to his way of teaching me i passed first time flying colours. I highly recommend him to new drivers because he teaches in a very easy way for everyone to understand. So for that i Thank him.

Greatly appreciated Jon, thanks for everything and for everyone else, don't hesitate in booking this man, he'll do you justice & get you on the road in no time. Cheers Jon, Darren
