JDS Automatic Driving School

Fantastic experience: Before JDS, I hated driving and just wanted to get it out of the way. Through the lessons and interactions from JDS I now love driving and have my road confidence back. Passed my test and couldn’t have done it without JDS!

Fantastic experience: Jo was easy to get on with and very patient, clear with her instructions and really put me at ease. I was extremely nervous as an older first time driver but with her guidance and support I passed first time. The mock tests and preparation around test day were invaluable.

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test first time yesterday thank you to Jo. She was very patient and friendly and her teaching approach was great. We focused on areas that I didn't feel too comfortable on. There was never a question she could not answer. She was so supportive during everything. I couldn't of passed my test without her. Very approachable, very understanding to any situation, friendly and kind and very patient and understanding with me. I can not thank Jo enough! Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Jo I have passed my driving test today. Jo has been extremely patient from the start, focusing on areas that I didn’t feel too confident on and practicing them until I felt able to independently do it. Jo was always happy to answer any question that I had. Jo made me feel at ease straight away, always speaking calmly to me and making sure I knew what was required from me in every situation.

Fantastic experience: Jo helped me pass my test within 4 months of starting. She gave me confidence and ensured i’d pass first time x

Fantastic experience: I learnt driving with Joanna from scratch and passed my test with zero minors, Joanna took her time with me ,was patient when I made mistakes, helped me feel calm behind the wheel and explained things in a way I understood, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have passed my driving test after completing my 30 hours of JDS full course with Joanna. She is an amazing driving instructor, very patient and calm, kind and very professional. I had zero driving experience when I started my lessons. I was very nervous at the beginning of the course but Jo always encouraged me and helped me build my confidence. She taught me everything I needed to know for my driving exam and she prepared me perfectly for anything that may have happened on my test. If there was anything I was unsure of Joanna was always willing to explain and show me what I had to do. I highly recommend Jo to anyone looking to get their driving licence. I can't thank her enough for all the help and support she has given me.

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test first time thanks to the help of Jo. She’s an amazing instructor who patiently, calmly and thoroughly guides you into becoming the best driver you can be. She constantly reassures you and gives constructive criticism when you make a mistake here and there. She is actively in the whole process with you, mentoring you and supporting you along the way up until the very minute you pass your test. I can’t thank her enough for dedicating her time and energy these past couple months into teaching me how to drive. I doubted myself, however Jo never did.

Fantastic experience: I learnt driving with Joanna from scratch and passed my test with zero faults. Joanna was always very friendly and patient with me and I enjoyed very much every lesson

Fantastic experience: Jo was a really patient and understanding driving instructor, which helped me feel at ease as a nervous first time driver. Jo is also flexible and accommodating with her lessons which I really appreciated. I had 30 hours of lessons and 2 mocks - I would highly recommend this package for new drivers. It covered all the basics and lots of practice to get test ready. Thank you so much Jo!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend JDS Automatic Driving School. Joanna is a fantastic instructor and was understanding and accommodating to my nerves as a first time driver. Jo made me feel at ease throughout my learning journey and explained everything throughly. I chose the JDS Full Package which included 30 hours of lesson time, with Jo's guidance this was sufficient to pass my test at the first attempt. Best of luck for the future, Darren.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend enough! Passed first time and its all thanks to Joanna. Strongly Recommended. Fantastic! - Scott

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend JDS more to someone who is looking for a driving instructor. From the off, Jo took the time to make sure I was at ease and comfortable behind the wheel. Always asking if I was ready before moving onto new steps, and listening if ever I didn’t feel like I was ready. Jo helped to make me feel confident in my ability to drive and focused on the areas I needed more help with. Working with my strengths to build me into a competent driver. I had absolutely no experience driving before working with Jo and I was also extremely nervous (I'm in my 30s and had put driving off for years.) I decided the JDS full course was the best option for me. I was able to pass my driving test on my first try. I really couldn’t sing Jo’s praises loud enough, not only is she absolutely lovely, she is also a fantastic driver instructor. I don't think I could have passed without her guidance.

Fantastic experience: Jo is an amazing instructor and super patient with her teaching! Absolutely recommend her

Fantastic experience: Cameron my son had great instruction and felt at ease from day one. He was a student and away from home learning to drive and has done so well. Passed first time !!!

Fantastic experience: I learned to drive an automatic with no prior experience. Did the full 30 hour course with 2 mock tests and the car for the practical test. Jo's approach is excellent - the pace of learning, how things were explained, positive feedback when things went well, balanced feedback when I didn't get it right. I also really enjoyed the lessons. I passed my practical test on the 1st attempt, due to the confidence I've built up. Top notch, highly recommended. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I only learned to drive 25+ years later than most of my friends. Tried a few times, didn't like the instructor, and for whatever reason just gave up, disheartened. Tried with Joanna, and passed. She was patient, didn't make me feel useless or overwhelmed, built my confidence slowly, and just taught me to drive. It can't have been easy! A really decent instructor for anyone who is a bit older, maybe a bit less confident, or who has felt a bit intimidated or scared (and maybe for everyone else too).
