Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend this driving school! I was able to pass first time, even with all my doubts and fears when initially starting, Balv (the driving instructor) was so supportive, calm and patient.

Fantastic experience: I recently passed my practical driving test on my first attempt, and I owe a huge thanks to my instructor, Balv. He is exceptionally skilled at his job and made the entire learning experience both enjoyable and effective. Balv's teaching methods are clear, patient, and thorough, which helped me gain confidence on the road. He always provided constructive feedback and ensured I was well-prepared for the test.

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for an instructor with amazing teaching skills, patience and humour, JD Driving School is where it’s at. The whole journey with Balv was beautiful, always corrected my mistakes, telling me where I can improve after each lesson, essentially guided me through to my pass, all while keeping it professional. Didn’t pass first time but Balv pushed me that extra mile and made me pass 2nd time with just 1 minor. Thank you Balv :)

Fantastic experience: Balv is a really good, enthusiastic, patient and funny driving instructor who takes pride in ensuring learner drivers are more than confident behind the wheel and making them pass their driving test with ease. He’s been really patient with me on my journey and it paid off quite well in the end.

Fantastic experience: Initially, I tried with a different instructor before but once I started with Balv he helped me to become an extremely confident driver quite quickly. I can happily say Balv ensured that I was more than ready when it came to my test and passed first time with only one minor. I wouldn't recommend anyone else but him. Thanks Balv!!

Fantastic experience: Balv is a brilliant instructor, I cant recommend him highly enough. He got me to above test standard, so that despite me being nervous on the day, I still passed first time with just three minors. Balv is extremely patient, but also tough when he needs to be, which pushes you to improve. He spots weaknesses and personality traits in you and tailors his instruction to suit. Top instructor. He's also well sound too! Thanks again Balv!

Fantastic experience: Balv is the epitome of how great driving instructors can be! He's an outgoing and energetic personality who is very much involved in every nuance of your drive, to ensure that you come out as the most confident and capable driver that you can possible be! As a result of Balv's active feedback in lessons and relaxing environment, I was able to walk into the test centre more relaxed and confident than I could have ever fathomed. Ultimately passed first time with only 3 minors! Highly Recommend to anyone looking to start their driving journey!

Fantastic experience: Balv is a very kind and patient instructor. He makes a really good atmosphere to learn something that can be intimidating when starting out. I passed first time because of him and couldn’t have asked for a better instructor!

Fantastic experience: I had tried learning with a few instructors before I found Balv and can wholeheartedly say that without Balv I would not be driving today. He has taught me to be a confident, aware driver and I am forever grateful. He is incredibly kind, patient, knowledgeable and has an amazing sense off humour which really takes the edge of for those of us who were anxious about getting into a car. I highly recommend his services.

Fantastic experience: Balv has been an amazing instructor over the past year with me. He's been extremely helpful and patient in explaining the mistakes I make and how to correct them. His teaching style is fantastic, he doesn't shout at you for making mistakes and instead he builds up your confidence and helps make you into a better driver. Couldn't recommend Balv enough!

Fantastic experience: The only option in this current crisis regarding passing your test, we all know after Covid everything had drastically changed and been made difficult, but jd driving school is the best option in terms of reliable test dates for good prices and most importantly a reliable teacher who will make sure you pass!!!

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Balv enough. He is a passionate, professional and friendly driving instructor who doesn’t just teach you to the level of “newly passed” but also surpasses that so that you feel comfortable on the road as an experienced driver.

Fantastic experience: -Short version of this review: Want to pass first time? Go with Balv. Simple as that. He's the best and he truly cares. -Long version of this review: Balv has been doing this job for as long as I've been alive and it shows. His experience is the key to his astonishing First-time-pass record. It seems he taught half of Ealing and Southall to drive, as illustrated with all the waving smiling faces we've crossed during our lessons. Whatever type of student you are, He'll find a way not only to get you to test standard but to smash the test AND retain driving skills for life. I'm somewhat of an anxious person, i tend to beat myself up about skills I don't grasp quickly and I sometimes have trouble asking for things I need to progress - Balv saw through all of that and laid out a plan that resulted in me passing with only one minor on my first attempt. He was always extremely involved in each lesson and right up until 20m before my test helped me find the confidence, skills and techniques I needed to pass. His experience reaches far beyond the realms of his Vauxhall Corsa however, and he's a great help for everything on the admin side, knowing the examiners and their expectations personally, and drawing examples from all of his past and present students to give an all-encompassing personal experience. Balv is also a wonderful conversationalist and I will miss our time chatting as I was growing more and more confident with my driving and he was adapting to my learning curve. When I passed my test, he looked genuinely proud and thrilled. I sincerely believe he cares very much about all of his students. I'm so glad I picked him, and you will too.

Fantastic experience: Balv is a magnificent driving instructor, he is professional, punctual and always explains everything clearly and in detail. Thanks to him I managed to pass my driving test on my first attempt.

Fantastic experience: Just wanted to say thank you to Balv for helping me pass my practical first time. I honestly didn’t think it was possible for me to pass in my first go, as I was a huge over-thinker and had no confidence in myself. Balv was both firm but kind, he helped me overcome my fears and trust myself behind the wheel. I nearly cancelled my test as I was feeling very anxious but Balv pushed me to just do my best and I passed with 4 minors.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Balv as a driving instructor!! Not only is the quality of teaching amazing but he also takes his time out to reassure and motivate you to reach the best. Every lesson was truly valuable and it led me to pass first time. It's all thanks to Balv!!

Fantastic experience: Balv is a great instructor. He really cares about your progress. He explains things well and makes driving enjoyable. He has been great over covid and really motivates you. Managed to pass first time which wouldn't have been possible without him.

Fantastic experience: I had refresher lessons with Balv because I hadn't driven since I passed my test. He's a very calm, reassuring instructor and I felt confident driving with him. Would absolutely recommend!

Fantastic experience: There is no better than Balv. He is professional, punctual, dedicated and very understanding. JD driving School does not only prepare you for a test, it gives you skills for a lifetime. Absolutely recommend with 1000% confidence.

Fantastic experience: DON’T LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE FOR AN INSTRUCTOR! Balv is everything you look for in a great instructor: calm, reassuring and experienced. Passed today on my first test thanks to Balv and his expert teaching. He made sure that I was confident in every aspect of driving and didn’t only teach me to pass the test but also taught me skills that I can take further than the test! 5 STARS FROM ME!

Fantastic experience: I made the silly mistake of forking out for an intensive course with a company last year that 'specialised' in them. The instructor I was given was rude, uninterested and they just wanted to get your lessons out the way. I can wholeheartedly say that Balv is the polar opposite of this. Knowledgeable, patient, understanding and very easy to learn from. I booked lessons with him in order to get my driving to test standard and passed FIRST TIME! Dont make the same mistake I did with big branded nationwide companies. Go straight to Balv! He's a busy man and for a reason. He's also a good laugh and you feel very comfortable driving around with him in the car. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Balv i passed first time with only 2 minors! Balv is such a professional, amazing, calm yet hilarious instructor with the best sense of humour. I enjoyed and looked forward to every lesson. He is really reassuring, will help you build your confidence, make you believe in yourself and when you make a mistake he goes about it in the best way possible and you can definitely learn so much from him. Balv has been super helpful considering all the circumstances with Covid-19 where i had to take a break from driving. As soon as I came back he helped me get back on track and pass as soon as possible. Balv is really supportive in every way! I would highly highly highly recommend Balv as a driving instructor, don’t think about going to anyone else apart from him! It’s definitely like driving with a friend yet the best instructor out there! Thankyou so much Balv.

Fantastic experience: Passed First Time!!! Such an amazing driving school! The quality of teaching is second to none and will rapidly and effectively transform you into the best driver you could ever be. Such professionalism throughout such a difficult and complex time due to Covid-19. I would 100% recommend the driving school and Balv to anyone looking for high quality teaching with regards to driving!

Fantastic experience: Just passed my test today with Balv as my instructor, what can I say this man has done a amazing job helping me learn how too drive with confidence and ease I always looked forward to my lessons with Balv as it’s another lesson filled with knowledge and new skills and also he’s a good laugh
