I had an excellent experience learning…
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 ,
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!

Truly grateful for such a professional and encouraging instructor.

Couldn’t have asked for better!!
I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor than Vikas. From the very first lesson, he was patient, calm, and incredibly supportive, which made a huge difference to my confidence behind the wheel. He explains everything clearly and never makes you feel rushed or pressured, even when you make mistakes.
What really stood out was how encouraging he was throughout the whole process. He always focused on building my confidence and made sure I fully understood not just how to drive, but how to drive safely and independently. His teaching style is professional, friendly, and very effective!
Thanks to Vikas, I passed my test with 1 minor. I’m so grateful for his patience, dedication, and positive attitude. I would highly recommend him and Jarretts driving school!!

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.

I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor
I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor than Jay Ladva. From my very first lesson to the day of my test, Jay was patient, professional, and genuinely committed to making me a confident, safe driver.
What stood out most was how Jay tailored each lesson to my learning style. He explained things clearly – whether it was parallel parking, roundabouts, or clutch control – and never made me feel silly for making mistakes. Instead, we’d go over what happened calmly and practice until I got it right.
Thank you Jay 🙏

Shah - The best instructor
I’m absolutely delighted to have passed my driving test on the first attempt, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my instructor, Shah.
Shah has been incredibly patient, professional, and supportive throughout my learning journey. He has a calm and friendly approach to teaching, which made every lesson enjoyable and helped me feel at ease, even when I was nervous. His clear explanations and constructive feedback really made a difference in building my confidence on the road.
What stood out most was his attention to detail and how he tailored each lesson to focus on areas I needed to improve. I felt fully prepared going into my test—and passing first time is a testament to Shah’s excellent teaching.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Shah to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable driving instructor. Thank you once again for all your help and support!

Instructor Review
I have recently passed my driving test with zero faults, and I couldn’t have done it without my instructor, Lewis. His dedication, patience, and professionalism were outstanding from start to finish.
He explained everything clearly, and has always made sure I felt comfortable. I used to feel very nervous when I was driving but slowly gained confidence due to his trust and professional teaching. His teaching style is calm, supportive, and incredibly effective, which made a huge difference in helping me achieve such a great result.
I’m truly grateful for all the time and effort he put into helping me succeed. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive and pass with confidence.

Ask for Liliana!
I had been trying to learn to drive on and off for years with various instructors with no luck and then gave up for nearly 7 years. I finally decided to learn to drive. Even though I had done maybe 100+ hours I just couldn’t get driving no matter what so I had really low expectations.
I booked a starter session and was allocated Liliana, when I looked at reviews she had fantastic reviews so I decided to go for it and it was the best decision I’ve made.
Liliana is a fantastic instructor. After explaining my problems in the past and that I had ADHD, she amended her teaching to what would work for me. She was so supportive and never shouted or ever made me feel bad. When I got overwhelmed in lessons- she would ask me to pull over and give me encouragement.
I never ever thought I would pass but Liliana didn’t give up on me even when I wanted to. She always puts her students first and I’m so grateful she was my teacher. I passed first time with 5 minors after doing lessons with exclusively her and I couldn’t be more grateful. I will really miss our lessons and want to tell future learners not to give up. It is hard to find a decent instructor but Liliana is truly one of a kind. Thank you again Liliana and Jarretts- I will forever be grateful and will always recommend you to my friends/ family moving forward.

Your journey is truly inspiring, and we’re so pleased that you didn’t give up. It’s fantastic to hear how Liliana was able to adapt her teaching style to support you, especially taking into account your past experiences and ADHD.

Passed the first time with only one minor, all thanks to Vikas - I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. As a complete beginner, I appreciated his patience, constructive feedback, and real-life anecdotes, making every lesson genuinely enjoyable and effective. He identified weak points early and worked through them with me until I felt truly confident behind the wheel. His great sense of humour and easy-going banter made the whole experience feel relaxed and achievable rather than daunting. Would recommend Vikas if you're looking to learn automatic!
