Passed first time with Jarretts!
I passed my practical driving test first time last week with lessons from Jarretts! My instructor Marius was patient and encouraging, explaining things in a way that suited me and allowing me to build my confidence quickly. I am quite anxious by nature but I never felt overwhelmed or rushed during my lessons. I always felt safe driving with him and although I was anxious about my test, Marius made sure I was well prepared! I will be recommending Marius and Jarretts to my friends.

Ronald Driving instructor helped me to pass
I passed my driving test today with Ronald, and I honestly cannot recommend him enough. He is by far the best driving instructor I have had. Ronald is extremely knowledgeable, patient, supportive, and always up to date with the latest driving rules and test expectations.
This was my 7th driving test, and after struggling with previous instructors and failing multiple times, I had almost lost confidence in myself. But once I started learning with Ronald, everything changed. He helped me truly understand what examiners are looking for, taught me safe driving techniques, and explained practical methods and tricks that made driving much easier and clearer for me.
What I appreciated most was how explaining and encouraging he was during lessons. He focused not only on passing the test, but on helping me become a safe and confident driver.
I had lessons with other instructors before Ronald, but none of them explained things as clearly as he did. Thanks to his guidance and support, I finally passed my test today.
Thank you so much, Ronald, I truly appreciate all your help and patience!

I had very little time to prepare after returning from abroad, but Miki did the impossible. She managed in a few lessons to get me ready for the test, something that previous teachers couldn’t, all while giving the lessons in a clear and respectful way. I passed and it’s 100% because she was my instructor, thank you!!

BEST DRIVING SCHOOL!
I was a little hesitant at first with driving instructors as I’ve heard all the horror stories, but Marius & Saima were both amazing instructors! They were both patient & easy going, always ready to answer your questions and will keep reassuring you if you lack confidence.
After failing my first driving test, Saima was moving and she kindly moved me to Marius who had the same car. My confidence took a dive because of the fail, but he kept going and reassuring me that the test was about safety over pass and fail. Polishing every little detail so that when I got my test, I felt like a brand new person!
This driving school is amazing and PEFECT for new learners and anxious drivers! Don’t worry, you will pass! 💖

We’re so pleased to hear that both Marius and Saima were able to make such a positive impact on your driving journey. Learning to drive can feel overwhelming at times, especially after hearing negative stories or experiencing setbacks such as a failed test, so it’s fantastic to hear how supported and reassured you felt throughout the process.
A huge well done to you as well for not giving up and continuing to push forward even after your confidence took a knock. That determination is exactly what leads to success.
It’s brilliant to hear how Marius helped rebuild your confidence and focused on developing you into a safe, confident driver rather than simply focusing on the test result itself. That approach is something we strongly believe in at Jarretts Driving School.
We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation, especially for nervous or anxious learners. Reviews like this genuinely mean a lot to both our instructors and the whole team.

PASSED FIRST GO!
I had a wonderful driving instructor called Liliana and she helped me pass my driving test first go! From the beginning she set realistic expectations, and helped me to become a better driver each lesson. She is very organised and uses various teaching methods to help different students understand based on their learning style. I definitely recommend her to anyone trying to learn how to drive!

I had an excellent experience learning to drive with Darshan Kumar, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, he demonstrated incredible patience, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to helping me succeed.
His teaching style is clear, structured, and tailored to the learner’s needs. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and he always made sure I felt comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Even when I made mistakes, he remained calm and constructive, turning every situation into a valuable learning opportunity.
What truly sets Darshan apart is his attention to detail and his focus on building not just driving skills, but safe driving habits for life. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to pass my driving test on the first attempt, which speaks volumes about the quality of his instruction.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and highly effective driving instructor, Darshan Kumar is the one to go to. I’m incredibly grateful for his help and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Adel Shafik ,
I had two driving instructors before, and unfortunately I didn’t have the best experience or make much progress with them. I struggled with my confidence and didn’t feel fully supported during my lessons.
Then I started learning with Adel Shafik, and everything completely changed. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. From the very first lesson, he was calm, patient, and incredibly supportive. He explains everything clearly and never makes you feel rushed or stressed, even if you make mistakes.
He is genuinely such a sweet, kind, and understanding instructor, and he really cares about his students. What stood out the most was how he helped build my confidence step by step and made me feel comfortable behind the wheel.
Thanks to him, I not only passed my driving test with no problems at all, but I also feel like a safe and confident driver. I genuinely couldn’t have done it without him, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great driving instructor!

Professional and Supportive – Highly Recommend
I had a very positive experience with Shah. He maintains a structured and highly professional approach, ensuring that all aspects of driving are taught to a high standard. His clear instructions, constructive feedback and attention to detail helped me develop strong skills and a thorough understanding of safe driving practices. His approach was extremely effective, as I was able to pass my test on the first attempt. I would highly recommend shah to anyone who is committed to learning properly and achieving success.
DVSA cancelled and rescheduled my test on the day of the test and Shah had conflict on that day with his other pupil but he made sure that my test was not impacted by this change and arranged another instructor with a compatible vehicle on a short notice.
Really grateful to the Raess who helped in building confidence on his car in 2 days and on the day of test at short notice due to my rescheduled appointment. That support made everything much less stressful and helped the test go smoothly.
