Well John, there is not much more to say that hasn’t already been said. Professionalism, passion and a genuine commitment in teaching your students to become educated and confident drivers. Our twin daughters felt an achievement in their driving skills and knowledge after each lesson with you, and both daughters achieved 100% in their VORT. Thankyou for the feedback during their journey. See you later this year for our son’s driving lessons.

I just passed my VORT test today and I couldn’t have done it without John. His professionalism, character, attention to detail, wisdom and knowledge is second to none. His innate ability to pick up on bad habits I had and to correct them so efficiently was excellent, and his patience was much appreciated. I highly recommend to train your driving with John, as he truly embodies a professional driving instructor. Bravo!
