Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Janet, and I couldn't recommend her more highly! She's calm, patient, and has a great sense of humor, which made every lesson enjoyable and less stressful. Janet's teaching style is clear and effective, and I felt confident behind the wheel right from the start. Thanks to her, I passed my driving test on the first try!

Anna-marie Grove 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Janet, She was so understanding of my daughter’s anxiety and special needs which helped her gain a huge amount of confidence. She was extremely supportive whilst she was taking her theory test. She passed her test first time with only 3 minors thanks to her support

Negative experience: I began lessons with Janet a year ago. She was more thorough and technical than my previous instructors, which I appreciated, however I was close to tears during many of my lessons. Janet will not hesitate to shout and swear at other road users and raise her voice and snap at you, and I felt she would get very annoyed when I asked questions or didn’t understand what she was saying. I found it difficult to understand how she wanted me to respond to her when I’d make a mistake. She’d often ask me to explain why I had done what I had, but if I answered her she would only become more annoyed and seemed to view my response as criticism of her and her driving experience. Blaming my own sensitivity, I recommended Janet to a more confident friend looking for an automatic instructor. They reported an even worse experience, during which Janet swore at them, called them the worst driver ever, and reduced them to tears several times. I have now decided to continue lessons with a new instructor. Janet is incredibly knowledgeable but I would not recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I used Janet for both my boys and both passed first time! I was very happy with her time keeping and flexibility, as she fit in with college and was able to give extra lessons during the build up to the tests. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Thank you to Janet for helping me pass my driving Practical! It took a couple off attempts for me to pass but Janet always kept my aspirations high and helped me deal with nerves and was very helpful after my setbacks. Very good teacher and always happy to help when I was struggling with certain areas. Beyond grateful to have her as my teacher.

Fantastic experience: I was delighted to pass my test first time after learning with Janet. She was very encouraging and built up my confidence which was low after previously struggling with learning in a manual car. She was a very reliable instructor and very flexible with lesson times as I only had short time frame to learn before my test. Thank you Janet for getting me through my test when I thought I couldn’t do it!

Fantastic experience: Great instructor with vast amount of knowledge and experience. She was very helpful to give me advice about road knowledge for my upcoming HGV test. Thank you Janet

Maggie Li 1 year ago

Positive experience: I learned with Janet for 1 year and we had many ups and downs. Unfortunately, my experience with her was not that great due to her teaching style. I found she was not very patient in comparison to my previous instructor and my current instructor that I had just passed my test with. I cried in many of my lessons with her as she can sometimes shout when I make a dangerous mistake, so much so that I decided to change her to another instructor 2 weeks before my test. I hope she is more patient with her learners and not very harsh with them like with me.

Telokin 2202 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test 1st time with only a couple of driving fault last week with Janet. She was always very patient and understanding my nervousness. Could not have done without Janet’s help. Always will be very grateful for all the help and encouragement I received from Janet. Thanks again for everything.

Gabriella Panyi 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Just passed my test first time with zero fault and that says it all. Had many instructors before but no others could get me to test standard other than Janet. The lessons were informative and she is a very professional instructor with a lot of patience. I highly recommend her if anyone wish to pass first time! Thank you Janet I will miss our lessons

Thanks a lot Chloe

Emily Howard 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I am an older learner (24) and have not learnt to drive previously due to confidence issues. I decided that I wanted to learn to drive an automatic which is how I found Janet. I have always found Janet to be calm, understanding and great to have a laugh with. I ended up spending a year learning to drive, mainly due to my own lack in confidence but once I got over those hurdles, I found it miles easier. I couldn't recommend Janet enough... I passed first time with only one minor fault, something I would have never imagined would happen. Thank you Janet!!

FISH School of Motoring

Thank you so much for your very king words, means a lot, ☺️

Abbie 1 year ago

Negative experience: I did 20hours with Janet, though all was going well then stoped getting any replies to messages/calls even after seeing her on the road teaching. Waste of time if you're looking for a reliable instructor to carry you to your test!

Amade Daragics 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great teacher, was very helpful in managing my nerves. Even let me borrow her mirror for my test! Would recommend

Ben Cerasale 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Passed first time thanks to Janet! I started lessons in May after having a terrible experience with another instructor in the area who basically got me to drive the car on my first lesson without any prior instructions. Janet helped me gain so much confidence in my driving and she goes above and beyond preparing you for your test. I highly recommend her and it’s well worth booking 2 lessons a week close to your test if you can. I did this and it felt like I improved so much in such a short space of time. Couldn’t be happier to finally have a full license, thank you Janet!

Diabi Tyler 2 years ago

Negative experience: I've had my fair share of driving instructors in preparation for my driving test, and regrettably, my experience with Janet was by far the least positive. My test was scheduled in Farnborough, a place I was unfamiliar with, given that I reside in London. Therefore, I sought lessons in Farnborough to become acquainted with the local roads. Enter Janet. Despite having previously been assured of my driving competence by a London-based instructor, my session with Janet was distressing. Rather than helping me navigate the unfamiliar roads, she constantly shouted, unnerving me at every turn. Instead of refining my skills, she tried to overhaul my entire driving style. Her frequent interventions with the steering wheel put us in jeopardy on several occasions. To top it all off, she had the audacity to suggest I was unprepared for my upcoming test and recommended I postpone it, suggesting more lessons under her guidance. Her tactics severely dented my confidence. However, I was fortunate to find another Farnborough instructor who validated my driving skills and prepared me adequately. I went on to pass my test and completed it with a mere 3 minors. I would strongly advise against using Janet's services. There are certainly better instructors in Farnborough. If you're currently with her and questioning your ability to drive or grappling with certain aspects, I'd urge you to consider switching instructors. Furthermore, upon cancelling my remaining hours with her, the messages I received were nothing short of abhorrent. Instead of reflecting on her own teaching methods, she had the temerity to question my decisions. Such unprofessionalism only cemented my conviction that parting ways was the right choice. If you're seeking a supportive and constructive learning environment, I'd recommend looking elsewhere J.Diabira

Emma Ramsier 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: So I am an older learner ...35...there was a reason I never learnt to drive...anxiety!! Jeanette was so supportive right from the beginning after I explained my anxiety before I even had my first lesson. She helped me gain confidence behind the wheel, challenged and supported me to go outside of my own comfort zone. Jeanette became more than just my instructor, she became my friend and would tailor each lesson based on my anxiety levels that day. And now I have my licence and wow the freedom to me and my kids has been incredible this summer holiday. Thank you :)

Thank you so so much for your kind words Emma, enjoy your new freedom, was amazing to help you through and achieve your goal,

Judit Baricz 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience with Janet, she was very professional, helpful, patient, considerate, but firm when needed. Both being hungarians, we often had a laugh during lessons which made me feel less nervous which was so important at the time considering that I was 9 months pregnant during pandemic and thanks to her, still managed to pass first time. I would highly recommend her to anyone, no doubt. Thank you, Janet

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant! I've had Janet as my instructor and I've passed my exam for the first time! Kind, patient and really professional.

ES 2 years ago

Negative experience: I had Janet I found she was very shouty, rude and come across aggressive. She would often get angry and frustrated easily and start gabbing the steering while while driving very forceful when unnecessary. She would swear at you and if you made a mistake more then once after she told you then she would get frustrated. No patience what so ever made me feel uncomfortable. She is more expensive than most instructors so if I’m paying more then I expect a calm instructor. She also wasn’t moving me along quick I had 20 hours and evrey week I was doing the same thing. I’ve moved to someone new and a lot better experience

FISH School of Motoring

I am very sorry you think you had a bad experience with my driving school but I do not even recognise you. If you leave any negative review to any company at least you should be open enough to use your full name.

If a driving instructor ever decides to grab the steering wheel they do it for a reason, and they should always make you fully
understand why they had to do that
I always do, and yes sometimes for as a new driver our intervention might come across sudden, but trust me if we feel we have to do it its necessary.

Hope you pass your test soon, whoever you learning with ,

Best regards

Merin Alefter 2 years ago

Negative experience: Janet is not professional driving instructor.I had 22 hour's experience with her and I wasn't happy with her teaching and explaining.She was very rude to me and every time when I made mistake she was shouting and I was getting more stressed.She didn't teach me to do manuovers while taking this 22 hours.After I understand that she is not the instructor which I was looking for and I changed her straight away because I couldn't feel confident.I highly NOT recommend Janet as instructor.

Izzy Baigent 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Janet is a brilliant driving instructor, she’s so kind and very good at communicating and ensures you go over anything that you struggle with again and again until it’s perfect, giving you the best opportunity to pass your test as soon as you can. She helped me pass first time as a brand new driver, couldn’t have asked for anyone better.

Rachel Chandler 3 years ago

Negative experience: Not a professional driving instructor at all. For the first few months my lessons with Janet were okay but the recent 3 weeks have been terrible. Was constantly shouted at for making mistakes and had some rude comments as aswell. ‘stop being such a baby” “why can’t you get it into 5th gear it’s not like i’ve put my hand on the gear stick after wiping my nose with bogies on, constantly telling me I was going to fail the test and told me that I’m not using her car in the test, being rude and making me feel more nervous so then I couldn’t reach my full potential in the driving lesson. Does not prepare you for the test at all since in my last lesson I changed gears harshly and got told I was going to fail for that however I had been doing this continuously for a while and only just tells me this 3 weeks before my test. On my last lesson before I started driving she gave me a lecture about my driving and how I needed to stop being such a baby. I felt uncomfortable with her and in the first 30 mins I wanted to go home and told her I didn’t want her as an instructor. The treatment I got was very disrespectful and not professional at all as instructors should never shout at you no matter what.

FISH School of Motoring

Dear Rachel, I am very sorry to hear about your negative experience, unfortunately we can not make everybody happy on the lessons.

You really struggled with lots of things and we were trying to improve it lesson by lesson. As the booked test was getting closer and closer and unfortunately you were not progressing enough, you started to take every word of mine into a complete criticism. The truth sometimes does hurt, that we not getting ready for the test quick enough, and I tell every learner of mine from the very start that my car will only go for the test if I believe you safe enough to be independent on your own. That was not happening, so had to be firmer and had to make you aware that the mistakes you do would also be recorded as serious or even dangerous driving fault on the day.
What you mention about the 5th gear yes we did practice that, even when stationary, we gone back and tried over and over again, and when you got into 3rd gear again and again, you one point on the dual carriageway at close to 55 mile/hour you left stoped holding the steering wheel with both hand and just knocked the gear lever to natural, that when I raised my voice that is not acceptable, just because you getting annoyed you can not not carry on controlling the car. As soon as it was safe we stopped and discussed the situation, funnily enough after that you managed to get the gear to 5th more than once.

On that same lesson you tried to turn right into a road with NO ENTRY SIGN on it, as you did not remember what that sign meant, when I gave the same command what the examiner would use on a. driving test. (Take the 1st available road on the right) just because that was the first road you spotted, all this and more just 4 weeks away from test.

I never said you would fail your test because of the harsh gear change, but you could get driving fault, and that's what I mentioned, not just on the last lesson but on lessons previously as well.

I am very sorry again that we did not achieve your goal, but I really hope things will work out and you can improve your driving to a standard which will be more than good enough to pass the test shortly.

Lisa Watson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Thankyou so much for everything! Janet is honestly the best instructor I’ve had (I’ve had 3 different ones the past 3 years) she was incredibly patient with the fact that I suffer from anxiety and my driving mistakes would often triggered my nerves/ anxiety attacks however she was so understanding and reassuring. I honestly don’t think I would have passed 1st time without her (with only one minor too!!) I can’t recommend her enough and i will be forever grateful for her kindness and support right from the beginning of this year until my test :) Thankyou again !! All the best :)

Fantastic experience: Janet is a very understanding and jovial instructor, who helped pass first time and drive with confidence.

I could not ask for anything more in a driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: Janet is a very accommodating and outstanding instructor! Through her support and consistent high-standard teaching I was able to pass my driving test first time. If you’re looking for a driving instructor, then I highly recommend Janet.

Arun K 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Janet is simply a great driving instructor. I was a driver with experience in US, EU and India and needed an UK license. I took the intensive course and Janet was very accommodating in fitting evening schedules and methodical in her training. Janet ensured that I got an understanding of the test area with lots of pointers (Queens roundabout - see Shell station - right turn - right lane!!) which really helped as I an not local to Farnborough. I can only imagine how intimidating my test would have been had I not had the level of comfort I developed under Janet's training. Lastly, I had developed quite a few bad habits that had snuck in from when I drove previously. Janet really coached me on these and helped ensure the tips and guidance were simple and (for the engineer in me) also explained why. I can whole heartedly say I am a much more confident in my driving safety than I was previously. I also passed my test on the first try with 5 minor faults, whoop whoop!! Can't recommend Janet enough!

Jacob Ramsey 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend fish school of motoring ! Janet is a excellent instructor for any age person learning to drive, patient and professional for any level of first time driver that will help you be fully prepared for your test .

Nick Sutton 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Janet was a brilliant teacher really knew how to progress lessons so I always felt I was developing and improving. She's also good company and a great laugh - if you have to spend 2 hours in a car with a near-stranger that's a huge bonus. I would really recommend learning with her - by the time I came to take my test I felt really well prepared and passed with only a few minors.

Zsofia Bezur 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I tried a couple of driving instructors before I found Janet and she was by far the best. Very professional and patient, lessons were fun and at a pace that suited me. I'm so grateful for all Janet's help and support and would highly recommend Fish school of motoring!
