Driving Skills Academy - John Phillipson

Fantastic experience: I have been an extremely anxious passenger most of my life and put off learning to drive until I was 26. I started working with Will at Latimer Driver Training and he has tirelessly worked with me to ensure I was confident and ready for my test. He was patient with me, explained each process simply but also took the time to understand how my brain and anxiety were processing everything. I passed my practical driving test first time but more importantly, I feel I am a more confident driver now that I am out by myself. A huge thank you to Will for your guidance and most importantly your patience with me. It was a long road (no pun intended) but I couldn't have achieved this milestone without you - Beth

Fantastic experience: Took lessons with Will and he was absolutely amazing he’s a great teacher with an amazing amount of patience. i passed 4 days ago with one driving fault. i couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. (he always has different flavours of gum to, it helps with the nerves)

Fantastic experience: I recently had additional Part 3 training with John, and I honestly can’t recommend him enough. His knowledge, experience, and ability to explain everything clearly made a huge difference to my understanding and confidence. He’s patient, supportive, and knows exactly how to tailor the training to what you need to improve. Every session felt professional but also really encouraging. If you’re serious about passing and becoming the best instructor you can be, John is the person to go to!

Fantastic experience: This is my second daughter that has passed first time with John. He has been amazing and really supports them through their learning. He got to know them & adapted to their way of learning. They both felt comfortable with him & I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Driving Skills Academy John was able to tailor his teaching to me individually and helped me to pass first try, extremely reliable, never missed any lessons and was always accommodating to any changes I needed to make. Would absoloutley recommend as a driving instructor.
