Navigator Driver Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I joined navigator driver training when I had lost confidence in my driving ability and found I wasn't convinced in what I was being shown by previous instructors, and it was the best decision I had made in my driving journey. I can not thank John enough for the endless support and wealth of driving knowledge provided to me, to get me test ready and make driving enjoyable again! John was always reliable and early for lessons, and never cancelled. I always felt comfortable and safe, even when on high speed roads, John never raised his voice or made me feel stupid when I made any mistakes. I passed my test today and I know this was due to John having my back, endlessly coaching me, never giving up on me and giving me back my confidence in my ability! Highly recommend!
Thanks Leyna for your kind review. Although our journey was quite short, the lessons were enjoyable and productive.
It's been a pleasure helping you on this journey and I wish you all the best for the future.
Remember I'm here if you need anything, I'm only a call or text away.
Fantastic experience: Cannot thank John enough. Didn't phase him that I was anxious, likely on the specturn and dealing with mental health downturn, I've always felt at ease and hes never pressured or pushed into anything I didn't feel ready for. Top bloke and very good at his craft; he simplifies everything down and taught me to think differently.....my confidence and skill has skyrocketed thanks to him
Thanks Gemma for your kind words and review. It's been a pleasure. Just remember that you done all the hard work, and today it paid off.
I wish you all the best for the future including the house sale and move.
I'm only a phone call away if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend John enough, not only did he take the time to get to know Jacob as a person but really helped him overcome his insecurities around driving. He is a really patience, and supportive and I cannot recommend Navigator Driver Training enough.
Thanks for your kind words. Jacob showed progress throughout his learning although he had a bad experience prior to me stepping in. Jacob was an absolute pleasure to teach through his journey.
I'm not sure who will listen to my bad jokes now, but I'm sure I'll find someone.
Let Hacob know that I'm still here if he needs anything and wish him my best on his new journey.
Fantastic experience: I am from Surrey. I was doing my Part 2 ADI driving test on Monday 24th February as there were no available dates local to me. I had been watching John’s videos (Navigator Driving School) on You Tube to familiarise myself with the area. I decided the better the option was just to give John a call and see if he would meet me over the weekend as I was coming up for a few days prior to get used to the roads. We met up the Sunday before my test for a few hours. What a really nice down to earth person, helpful, showed me some of the trickier roads that might come up and gave me some really insightful advice to help me with my Part 3. I can honestly say it was a very worth while 3 hours spent with him. If there are pupils out there looking for an instructor you cannot go wrong with John, he is a fantastic teacher and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Oh and I passed my Part 2 with just one fault.
Hi Dene, thanks for the great review. It was an absolute pleasure helping you with the Part 2 Training. You done all the hard work, you took on board everything i suggested and followed though with the suggestions I made. I'm glad you got the result you wanted and deserved. I'm just a phone call away if you need any help with your Part 3. I wish you all the best with the driving instructor career.
Fantastic experience: My daughter successfully passed her test yesterday, thanks in large part to the superior level of support and training received from John. He delivered lessons with humour and interest and my daughter tells me, covered multiple areas of crucial training which had been missed during lessons with other instructors. Thank you John!
Thanks Kendra for your kind words. It was a pleasure in assisting your daughter. The level of understanding was there to begin with, I just needed to polish her skills. I can't say your daughters name as she doesn't want it mentioned anywhere, but any information or critique I gave was taken, learnt and practiced.
Credit given where due, she worked hard at passing the test and was well deserved on one of the most technical routes available in Cardiff.
All the best for the future, and I'm still here if needed.
Fantastic experience: John is an absolutely amazing instructor. He is patient, friendly, knowledgeable and makes you feel completely at ease. I learned with John 10 years ago when i was really new to driving and very nervous and he helped me pass with flying colours. He has also just taught my partner to drive who has passed yesterday with 0 faults. Anyone looking for a reliable, 10/10 instructor, look no further thanks for everything!
Thanks Holly for such kind words. Thanks for remembering me after all these years.
It was a please helping you and Liam on your driving journey and I wish you all the best for the future and your up and coming marriage. You're a lovely couple and you deserve all the happiness in the world.
Fantastic experience: I have just passed my Practical Test today, thanks to this Driving School with no minors or faults! I cannot hold my instructor in high enough regards. John has been absolutely incredible since I joined up with him in 2024. In just 10 months, I've gone from stalling at every turn, to having that pass result. John has shown faultless patience and supported my driving journey the entire time, encouraging me when I lost confidence after making a mistake or two and celebrating the good times with me. Being an older learner (30s) I thought it was a bit late to start driving but he truly has given me the confidence and guidance needed to drive on my own. John had also taught my partner to drive around 10 years ago, which just goes to show that there is a passion, commitment and most importantly, a natural talent with this instructor. You can tell that he love his job! For everyone reading, if you take anything from this post or you're considering/know of someone who wants to learn to drive.. I 100% recommend this Instructor and Driving School. I can never thank them enough. Thanks again John, I wish you all the best mate, Liam
Thanks for such kind words. You showed true dedication to learning to drive although you had a bad experience early on with another instructor. It shows that when you put your mind to something, it is achievable.
Massive congratulations to you for today, and most of all getting a no fault pass result.
Keep my number in your contact list and let me know if there's anything you need in the future.
Again, well done, and see you on the roads
Fantastic experience: I can’t thank John enough for his incredible support in helping me prepare for and pass my Part 3 ADI assessment. He was exceptionally helpful, breaking down the competency criteria in great detail and making it easy to understand. John’s guidance was instrumental in identifying and developing my weak points, giving me the confidence and skills I needed to succeed. I’m truly grateful for all your help, encouragement, and patience throughout this journey. Your brilliant teaching approach made all the difference. Highly recommended!
Thanks fir this wonderful review. It's been an absolute pleasure. It did help that you were willing to take on all criticisms and learn from your mistakes. You'll make a great instructor!!!
Well done, and see you on the roads
Fantastic experience: I recently completed my ADI Part 3 training with John, and I am thrilled to share that I passed! John’s expertise and dedication were instrumental in my success. From the very beginning, he was incredibly supportive and knowledgeable, guiding me through every aspect of the instructional ability test. John’s teaching style is both patient and thorough. He took the time to understand my strengths and areas for improvement, tailoring each lesson to ensure I was fully prepared. His clear explanations and practical tips made complex concepts easy to grasp, and his constructive feedback helped me refine my teaching techniques. What truly sets John apart is his ability to create a positive and encouraging learning environment. He was always calm and reassuring, which boosted my confidence and made the learning process enjoyable. Thanks to John’s excellent instruction, I felt well-prepared and confident on the day of my test. I highly recommend John to anyone preparing for their ADI Part 3 test. His professionalism, expertise, and supportive approach make him an outstanding driving instructor.
Hi Habib. Thanks for your review. It's been a pleasure helping you on your journey. We didn't have much time to get you ready, but you took onboard what was needed for the Part3.
Massive well done, and I'll see you on the roads
Fantastic experience: My learning experience with John was great, he was an amazing instructor, explained things in thoroughly and in a way that you understand, if you make a mistake he doesn't get angry or annoyed he just helps you correct it, unfortunately John wasn’t available for my test but he did everything he could to help me get to test day and pass, would highly recommend
You're more than welcome Tyler, sorry I couldn't br there today for you, but your hard work paid off with a first time pass. Thanks for this review and all the best for the future.
Fantastic experience: John is such a kind and patient driving instructor! I'm so glad to have had an instructor like him. Highly recommend!
Thanks for your kind words Rose. It's been a pleasure, call or drop a message if there's anything you need!!
Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor can’t thank enough for the lessons that helped me pass always have an amazing and positive time while learning. Would definitely recommend as an instructor as he will teach you a way you find comfortable and always work on it with patience.
Thanks for your review Jinan. It's been a pleasure.
I'll have to find someone else now to laugh at my jokes.
All the best with the driving, and don't forget to message if you need anything!
Fantastic experience: A calm, very patient and reliable driving instructor, who did wonders for our child's confidence after a less than satisfactory experience with a previous instructor. What's more, she then passed first time! We would 100% recommend John at Navigator Driver Training to anyone.
Thanks Lisa for your review. Jenny was a pleasure to teach, she deserved the first time pass result.
Let me know if there's anything else you need.
Fantastic experience: An amazing driving instructor! So grateful for his patience and knowledge that enabled me to pass my driving test. Couldn’t recommend a better instructor.
Well deserved 1st attempt Pass Molly.
I look forward to helping with your passplus.
Fantastic experience: John was able to fit our son in quite quickly after we were let down by another instructor. I am glad we found John, our son needed someone that would keep him straight and narrow and not pander to him. He only had lessons when needed by the assessment by John so it was efficient. We'll be contacting John again when the youngest is to hit the roads.
Thanks Ryland, it's been a pleasure to guide Deiniol on his journey
Fantastic experience: Great instructor, friendly and patient. Very thorough with teaching. My son passed with no faults. Thankyou John
You're welcome clare, it was a pleasure. Hope you got the insurance sorted on the car
Fantastic experience: Great driving instructor, couldn’t have been more helpful. Passed with no faults.
It's been a pleasure, it's great to get a student with so many questions.
Well done on Zero Faults today.
Fantastic experience: I first start my lessons with John on a manual car. Even though I was totally new to it, he was really kind and patient, never rushed me and always explained me more than 10 times if necessary! Always on time for our session and always with a good attitude! Although I choose to take my own car, an automatic one, when I reached out to him for some help, he was more than willing to help me continue my journey and was committed to help me through the end! Safe to say, I own this man a big thank you! PASSED FIRST TRY WITH ONLY 2 MINORS! Can’t thank him enough!!!! The best decision to pick him as my instructor!
Your more than welcome Lara, it's been a pleasure. I'll miss your hysterical laughter when things go wrong.
All the best with your driving, and call if you need anything
Fantastic experience: Would tell all my mates about the great time I had with you. They are 100%
Thanks Chris, it's been a pleasure. We'll deserved Pass today!!

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test in the first try because John is a strict instructor, and a great one, who's giving his best in making sure you pass your driving test! He's got so much skill he could probably drive anything haha.

Well done today, you totally deserved the first time pass.

Fantastic experience: Passed my test today all thanks to John! Could not recommend John anymore, absolutely fantastic driving instructor! Took his time to help me with things I was stuck on and couldn’t have been more helpful! Thank you again!
