Reviews

Jessica Streten, Nuneaton

Amazing instructor! Made driving really enjoyable as well as helping me progress quickly despite lockdown. He also introduced me to websites and insurance policies which have become really helpful in making sure you are a confident driver- couldn't recommend him enough!

Halle Simmons, Nuneaton

Highly recommend Alby! He is motivating, punctual, gives you confidence and makes learning to drive a positive and pleasant experience. Can’t thank Alby enough for all his help! His first time pass rate speaks for its self.

Ava Boardman, Nuneaton

Alby is such an amazing driving instructor! Through the hard times during Covid and lockdown he has been a constant support in helping me learn to drive! His positive attitude goes a long way in driving lessons and gives you the confidence you need to become a good driver! Highly recommend!

Eloise Taylor, Nuneaton

Positive: Quality Alby is a wonderful driving instructor, he is so patient and kind. If you struggle he supports you and fully explains each driving manoeuvre/ technique. Thank you to Alby for helping me to pass first time !

Katie Mcfadyen , Nuneaton

3 months ago Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality Brilliant instructor, really helped me prepare for my test and helped me achieve my goal to pass before my 18th! Really recommend :)

Rosie Aley, Nuneaton

a day agoNEW Positive: Professionalism, Quality Where do I start? First of all, cracking bloke, he is so calm and patient with you but also can have a good laugh while driving. He will make sure you are 100% ready for your test before he sends you off- no hit or miss! Prepares you not only for what’s going to be on your test but what you will face in your real life! Would absolutely recommend if you want to not only pass your test, but actually learn how to drive properly.

Lucy Nash, Nuneaton

My experience has been amazing from start to finish making sure I would be safe on my own and bringing real life aspects in to my lessons rather than just teaching me how to pass my test. Would highly recommend to anyone needing an instructor.

Celine, Loughborough

John made sure I was always able to have a lesson when best suited me. The teaching style was great: there were clear lesson plans and an explanation of what each manoeuvre and exercise would require and the debrief at the end of the lesson allowed me to think about my mistakes and where I could improve for next time.

Haidar, Loughborough

My experience with John Kerr and Drive and Pass: I've had a countless number of instructors in my time learning to drive, none have ever come close to the professionalism and expert level of knowledge held by John Kerr. Unlike a lot of instructors, John prides himself in making you the best driver you can be. You're not just trained to be at pass standard, instead, you are trained to tackle any situation the roads have for you. At the end of each lesson, there would be an in-depth debrief to discuss how you thought the lesson went and where you could improve. John consistently made sure that every minute of the lesson was used to effectively to most improve your driving and often went overtime to make sure you would leave the lesson feeling great. As well as taking it very seriously, John was a very friendly instructor and his humor made the lessons that much more enjoyable. I would like to thank John for going that extra mile for me (excuse the pun!). Cheers again, Haidar

Luke S, Loughborough

John'a highly detailed and logistical thinking is exactly what i needed in order to pass my test. After I failed my first test and my old tutor had to stop teaching because of an operation I was suggested John. He has a keen eye for what people do wrong and helped me gain confidence behind the wheel. If i feel like i ever lose confidence while driving, it's highly likely i will return to John for more tutoring

John was an absolutely amazing instructor. He was always calm, determined and passionate for helping me in every circumstance. I would highly recommend him if you really want to pass the driving test. Thank you

Olivia, Loughborough

Really good, gave great corrections and was really encouraging.

Alicia and Olivia Middleditch, Loughborough

John was a superb driving instructor. He was gentle, patient and calm. He was a clear instructor and helped us to pass in 4 months.

Ahamer Murtaza, Loughborough

I admire John’s professionalism and his passion for driving, which he uses to teach his pupils. He has been a brilliant instructor and has been pointing out every single detail of my drive correcting my errors to make me a perfect driver. His method of communication is calm and his explanations are very easy to understand and remember. I have had a wonderful experience learning from John and would definitely recommend him to anyone interested.

Priya K, Loughborough

John was a really great instructor. He was always calm and explained everything clearly. I have a specific learning difficulty (dyspraxia/dyslexia) that made learning to drive a bit harder than usual, but John was very patient and kind with teaching. His mock tests were also very helpful and fully prepared me for test day. I would genuinely recommend learning with John, if you want to be a confident driver once you’ve passed your test (as I am now)!

Julio Nallamappanan de Cabo, Loughborough

John is a great driving instructor. Previously failing my test in London , John was able to guide and fix all my mistakes and bad habits that were developed from my previous driving. He was patient, motivating and flexible with lesson timing according to my requirements. He greatly improved my driving and allowed me be to more confident on the road. I would strongly recommend John for new driving learners.

Daniel Smith, Sunderland

John was a very good driving instructor who guided me to a pass with 3 minors. I had previously failed my test and John helped me have a smoother and calmer driving style. He helped ensure I had no bad habits and raised the standard of my driving significantly I would highly recommend John for anyone looking for driving lessons

Damith, Loughborough

John was a very good driving instructor who guided me to a pass with 2 minors. I had previously failed my test and John helped me have a smoother and calmer driving style. He helped ensure I had no bad habits and raised the standard of my driving significantly I would highly recommend John for anyone looking for driving lessons.

Birute Izdonaite, East Leake

Usually I don't write reviews, but I really wanted to write a review about John and his driving lessons. I am 43 years old and I am a fully qualified driver, but I don’t have much driving experience in the UK and especially in busy towns/cities. My work office moved, and I needed to start driving to get to the office. So, I found John’s details on the internet and messaged him. I explained the situation that I need quite urgently driving lessons. So, he got back to me straight away, and I got even two lessons on next week. I was quite nervous at the first few lessons, and I did have quite a few bad habits which John pointed out straight away and we started working on them: harsh breaking or I tend to use breaks often when I don’t need, instead of using a clutch. We worked on clearance and meeting a lot because I didn’t have much experience in this area. I’ve had 6 lessons so far and I can feel that John managed to bring my confidence back and I already managed to go to the office on my own. I decided to carry on with his lessons, because I can see that I am still learning many vital skills from John which can be very helpful in the future. Without any doubt I would highly recommend John for anyone who is looking for driving lessons as a beginner or who needs to build their confidence back in driving. John has an excellent teaching approach. He is amazingly calm, patient, very polite, and professional. Even I already have my driving license, but he never commented that I should know this or that if I am qualified. He understood my situation and was very supportive. Thank you very much, John!

Bradley Willson, Loughborough

John was amazing he really helped me and gave me all the information and techniques needed to pass

Amy Chilton, Loughborough

John was amazing! He was patient and professional and allowed me to learn in a safe, comfortable environment.

Adam Carlin, Loughborough

John Was a great driving instructor for me, he really pushed me every lesson to the perfect amount where it wasn’t too difficult yet not too easy, he also really helped with putting in extra hours for me when getting closer to my test date, which was a squeeze, for example working hours over a bank holiday weekend, these extra hours allowed me to fix errors i was making and be able to pass first time with just 3 minors. I would definitely recommend john as your driving instructor!

Emyr morris, Bridgend

A really positive experience. John has helped me iron out several issues such as clearance, pulling up on the left and approach to roundabouts. At the end of every session we create a detailed breakdown of the lesson and then decide what to work on for the next session which is very helpful. Always able to find availability each week for my lessons.

Joshua Neill, Loughborough

John is a fantastic instructor . Really patient and helpful . I was really nervous when I first went on the roads in a car and thought I would never get it. However John really took me back to basics and slowly but surely he built up my confidence to enable me to become a really confident driver. So if your a first timer John is the person to get you through them first few lessons and get you driving confidently in no time , thanks John.

Kyle McMillan, Loughborough

Great driving instructor, helped me get a first time pass by making sure I approached my driving with a slower pace, something I had struggled with. Always calm and gives clear instructions when driving. Highly recommended!

Zac Twells , Loughborough

John is a great driving instructor, I was with him from a beginner with no driving experience, he covered every topic well and made sure I was ready for my test in time. I passed first time with 4 minors, we did mock tests to find out my weak points and amended them for my real test, I would definitely recommend John as a driving instructor if you are planning on taking your driving lessons.

George sutton , Loughborough driving centre

John was great! Helped me so much during my time driving, especially with no experience and alot of anxiety he helped me get through it and eventually pass.

Charlotte Simpson, Loughborough

John has been a fantastic driving instructor. He was always supportive and greatly improved my ability to emerge from junctions. I would recommend him to anyone who is learning to drive.

Sam Rogers, Loughborough

John is a great driving instructor and I would recommend to anyone that is wanting to learn to drive. He has given me so much confidence from day one. He is very easy to get along with, is very patient and explains everything so clearly. We had a few laughs during our lessons and I am very grateful for everything. Thanks John

Daniel Wright, N/A - refresher lessons

I started taking refresher lessons with John having already passed my driving tests. I had not driven for four years and didn't feel confident or comfortable behind the wheel anymore. Essentially I had to relearn how to drive and John immediately put me at ease and explained how best to go about getting back into the swing of driving. We created a plan together, both from the first lesson and every lesson thereafter, which ultimately John wanted to be led by myself. This entailed what aspects of driving I wanted to go over or felt I needed to do to again in order to regain my confidence, whether this be relearning clutch control or navigating roundabouts. John also offered his own suggestions for gaps in my driving. What I really appreciated about John's methods of teaching was that he was always patient and understanding, yet fair with his assessments of my driving and with pushing me out of my comfort zone in a safe and controlled manner. Furthermore, I liked that John always asked to what extent I wanted him to interject during my driving - for example, this could be fifty per cent of the time or not at all. I also welcomed John explaining what we were going to do and things to look out for before we started each lesson. Similarly we dissected the drive after each lesson to iron out any errors for the future and also set out a plan of action for the next lesson. I can tell John has a wealth of knowledge and experience from years of driving and teaching so you feel in very safe hands. I never once felt in danger and John is great at making you feel at ease and a calming presence if you're anxious about driving. He is also always up to date with the highway code and new implementations or revisions which is often an overlooked aspect of becoming a responsible driver by instructors. I could not recommend John enough, both for someone looking to regain their confidence behind the wheel or driving for the first time and preparing for a test. John has brought back my confidence in driving and instilled into me good habits that I will take forward after being a shadow of my former self in the car.

Rowan Purnell, Loughborough

John is very patient and explains everything throughly. He helped a lot with my confidence on roundabouts and tricky junctions. His friendly and professional training is valuable and helped me if I needed to rework any areas of issues. I would highly recommend!

Zuzanna, Loughborough

John is the best instructor out of the three instructors I tried. I was a very anxious and nervous driver. John was perfect for me as he is extremely calm, patient and very professional. Other reasons why I would recommend John to anyone are: (1) always came prepared with a lesson plan to maximise the time and help with progress (2) regularly updated the sheet with all of the driving skills a pupil should develop (3) explained things clearly using real-life reference points (4) the lessons were challenging which helped me develop my skills faster (5) great value for money (6) helped me with my confidence. I truly believe John cares about his students and wishes them to be great drivers for life, and not just for everyone to pass their test (although that too!). After lessons with John, the driving test felt like a breeze thanks to the high standard of John’s teaching. I passed with only two minors.

Ewan Edmonds, Loughborough

John was great. Helped me pass after 15 lessons, was very good at explaining roundabouts and reversing

Hattie Lester, Loughborough

John has been a great driving instructor. His lessons were very focused around what I needed to improve on which was very helpful as it came closer to my test. John was very good at going over things in detail and made sure I fully understood which helped me make less mistakes. I feel confident now about driving on my own - something I was always worried about, but I feel John has covered everything needed. Thank you very much John!

Quin Capsticks, Melton Mowbray

John was brilliant. He was calm and collected and made sure I fully understood everything before moving onto another aspect of driving. He greatly improved my struggles at junctions and also reacting to road signs. I thoroughly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a driving instructor.

Madison FARRELL , Loughborough

John is such an amazing instructor! I have learnt so much from him not only to drive well but to also have confidence on the road!

Sam fitch, Loughborough

John was brilliant. Stuck with me for 11 months and went over problem areas multiple times allowing me to past first time. Would really recommend

Joe Hallam, Melton Mowbray

John was extremely patient and helpful. His attention to detail and knowledge allowed me to overcome any issues I had when learning. This led to me being able to pass first time.

Daniel Barry, loughborough

John was amazing, really helped me out of a rut i thought i would never get out of. I came to him feeling so beat down and discouraged about my driving ability and he built my confidence right up from nothing, Can’t thank him enough, Dan

Rachael Davies, Loughborough

I had come to john after driving for a year having 2 previous instructors. As a result my driving had some flaws and I was struggling a lot with my confidence and was very doubtful of myself. John was able to find the cause of my confidence issues and we were able to work through them and rework my knowledge, making me a more competent driver that was able to pass first time. John was brilliant at being flexible with my university timetable and was always able to accommodate times I was available.

Ryan Martin, Loughborough

John is a great instructor. Always kept calm in my lessons and took the time to explain things through with me to ensure i understood them well enough. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor who won’t make you feel stressed at any point in your lessons but will also ensure you are well prepared for your test.

Olivia Critchlow, Loughborough

John was very understanding and patient with my mistakes. He made sure that the driving lessons covered my weaknesses leading to overall improvement.

Alexander Arnold , Loughborough

He was great, very methodical and makes you very prepared and confident going into your test. I knew everything like it was second nature
