Geeta: ”John is a fabulous driving instructor. He is professional, punctual and friendly. His laid back attitude makes any person feel comfortable behind the wheels and learn easily. Classes were so relaxed rather than nerve racking. It's all because of him I passed my test on the first attempt with just 6 minors. I must say one part of my driving test I.e., Never had a chance to drive around rose hill roundabout as there were road works and signal issues during my classes. But in the test when I was taken there it wasn't scary at all, I would give all the credit to John for his teachings. His calmness helped me to keep my nerves and drive well. I miss the conversations but not the least thanks for giving me the confidence. I would strongly recommend him. ”
