Formula Jon Driving School  Reviews 52

I had a great experience learning with Imran and passed my driving test on my first attempt. He’s very patient, explains everything in a clear and practical way, and always made me feel comfortable while driving. He also did his best to work around my schedule, which I really appreciated. His lessons focus on building real confidence, not just passing the test. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone around Sutton looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor.

I had a really great experience learning to drive with my instructor Alain. He was always very nice, patient and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, even when I was nervous at the start.
His calm approach and encouragement made a huge difference and he was always willing to go over things as many times as needed without ever making me feel rushed or pressured. I genuinely felt supported in every lesson.
I would highly recommend Alain to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable and professional driving instructor. Thank you for helping me pass with only 1 minor and making the experience so positive!

I had a great experience learning with Formula Jon driving school, and in particular with Yan; an excellent driving instructor. He is kind, calm, and relaxed, which made the learning process feel easy and enjoyable. He maintains high standards while creating a supportive environment, which helped me pass my test (with only 2 minors). I would highly recommend Yan to anyone looking for a patient, professional, and effective instructor.

My experience with formula jon driving school was absolutely amazing. Jon was a 10/10 driving instructor who talked me through things but always found time to have a laugh. I am around the carshalton area and did manual, passing my practical test first try with his help. Would definitely recommend to any new driver.

Formula Jon Driving School give very high standard manual driving lessons. His high standards ensured a first time pass after manual driving lessons, even in a time pressured scenario. Everything you want from a driving instructor.

Tina is an amazing driving instructor, she was very patient and always explained things clearly. She always made our lessons feel enjoyable and never stressful. I passed my test today thanks to her support and positive attitude. I would highly recommend Tina to anyone looking for an instructor.

Anil at Formula Jon Driving School helped me to pass my driving test. I took automatic driving lessons with Anil. Before learning with Anil I failed the test several times, but passed “first time” since learning with Anil. He gave very helpful advice, is friendly, reliable and professional, and gave me the reassurance that I needed. I would 100% recommend Formula Jon and Anil. Thanks again

Yan is an amazing instructor! Very patient and always had clear instructions to help me. Passed my test first try today. Honestly an amazing instructor i would recommend!

Tina is an amazing instructor. I failed my driving test twice with different instructors but she got me over the finish line. Her expertise and knowledge is out of this world. I understand driving so much better because of her, whereas previously I had so many gaps in my knowledge. She picks up every details and leaves no room for failure. She believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Thank you so much Tina! You are the instructor everyone needs.

Jon is a legend, he is professional whilst also making a relaxed environment where you can have a laugh. He is very thorough in his teaching and makes you feel prepared for every scenario come test day. Jon is very helpful with calming test day nerves and is encouraging, supportive as well as showing you that failing isn’t the end of the world.

Thanks to Jon I passed first time at Redhill with 6 minors and am now hunting for my first car!
Big thanks to Jon for getting me to pass, would 100% recommend!

I’ve been having lessons with Imran Ahmed at Formula Jon for several months now and would recommend him to anyone. He is very patient and calm and clear in his explanations.
I enjoyed my lessons every week
Thank Imran for helping me pass the first time!

I’m so pleased to say that I passed first time with Tina’s help from Formula Jon’s Driving School. Tina has a no nonsense attitude which I loved. She’s dedicated and passionate about getting her pupils across the finish line to pass. While at first I found driving intimidating Tina helped me relax and took each lesson step by step building my confidence as we went. I also feel that the prices are fair and scheduling lessons were easy and flexible. I would highly recommend this driving school to any new learners.

After failing my first driving test almost a year ago with another instructor (not from Jon Formula), I went back to Jon.

I first contacted Jon before COVID, but the country went into lock down one day before our scheduled assessment session. Then for two years I think he's been busy clearing up backlogs from his pupils - I'd been keeping asking him regularly ever since, as the feel of him via speaking over the phone has always been good.

I have then contacted a few other schools/instructors, never went ahead with any of them because they were awful/rude/chaotic even from contacting phase. Two months before my first test, Jon was not available and neither are any other manual instructors that work with him. So I went with a completely new instructor i stumbled upon that has availability on the short notice, but failed after having 30 hours with him. Then I thought I'd check with Jon again, he himself was not available but recommended Ravi who works with him.

Ravi has been brilliant - always chilled, laid back and explain things. Always punctual (more than punctual - he's often earlier than expcted 😃) and always follow up with lesson credits after esch lesson. The driving vibe he's set up is so relaxing that it really contributes a lot to my feeling relaxed, confident and comfortable driving and dealing with different situations, esp. errors/faults I'd made in my first test. Ofc I passed (with 4 minors), but what I wanted to sayd is he doesn't just teach for the sake of passing the test; rather it's safe driving.

The only small suggestion is maybe sometimes advise on *how* to do certain things on top of *what* you need to do. I know reference point can be a bit unreliable, but sometimes I feel like I know what I should do, but a bit unsure how I should do it.

I will definitely come back for motorway/carriageway sessions when I get more driving (still getting used to my own car!).

All the best to Formula Jon.
All the best to Ravi!

I had a great experience learning to drive with Formula Jon Driving School in Carshalton. Jon is a calm, patient and supportive driving instructor who really helped build my confidence. His manual driving lessons were well structured and easy to follow, and I passed my test first time. I’d highly recommend Formula Jon Driving School to anyone learning to drive in Carshalton!

I had a few manual refresher driving lessons with Formula Jon Driving School after moving to Reigate from London. I originally passed my test three years ago but didn't really drive much, and I wanted to get back behind the wheel now I'm living in Reigate. He really helped me to feel comfortable behind the wheel again, gain confidence and develop my skills in all areas of driving - whatever I was worried or nervous about, Jon would address it straight away and give me lots of practice until I felt comfortable and confident. The difference between my driving in the first lesson I had with him and the last lesson I had with him, is astounding. It is clear he is a knowledgeable and experienced driving instructor, and he makes you feel really comfortable in the lessons. Thank you Jon, for helping me to get back on the road!

Just passed my Driving test today on my first try. I’ve had a 2 hour lesson with my instructor Ravi every week for the past 8 months and he’s been nothing but kind, patient and helpful to me. Without him I wouldn’t be where I am today and I’m ever so happy with the lessons Formula Jon provided for me

I've had a great experience with Formula Jon from the initial enquiry through to getting in the car and driving confidently. I can't recommend this driving school enough, with a special shout out to Ravi for his patience, kind & funny nature.

My experience with Formula Jon Driving school was great. I had Ravi as my driving instructor who was patient and made me feel confident and re assured throughout the process. I passed first time and I would 100% recommend to anyone who is looking to learn to drive.

I found Formula Jon Driving School online, was booked in and had Jon Kenny as my manual driving instructor in Sutton. Jon is extremely professional and experienced with everything to do with driving and most importantly how to pass the practical driving test.

The scheduling is always flexible and can always be rearranged if you are going away or unavailable. The current DVSA driving test booking system is extremely poor but Jon can help you book, move or swap dates so that you can confidently pass. I personally took 60 hours of lessons but in the end I took my test at 100% and proudly passed first time.

If you are looking to pass confidently then Formula Jon is the way to go.

Imran was always on-time, explained everything clearly and was a nice person to be around.
I was able to pass first time thanks to Imran’s help. I would highly recommend Imran and Formula Jon.
