What our customers have to say about us…
I would recommend this driving school to anyone — especially nervous drivers, first time learners, or anyone who’s struggled or failed before. They are patient, supportive, and truly help build your confidence.
Special thank you to John Harvey for believing in me and helping me pass my test. I couldn’t have done it without you!
I took 36 hours with Greg Fitzgerald. He was very thorough with the training and answered all my questions, and I could gradually see my skills improving.
Driving now has become fun and enjoyable, and I have come to appreciate the depth of it. I especially enjoyed when Greg would explain how I could have anticipated something before seeing it, and techniques like opening the window to listen for cars are just so cool.
And I enjoy talking to him a lot. The stories he told me about his other students stuck with me and informed my driving, but also just the regular talks we have about everyday life were really nice.
Overall, had a great time. I learned a ton and would highly recommend John Harvey to anyone learning to drive.
I definitely recommend John Harvey driving school! I have awful anxiety and my driving instructor Cristian Ghita was always able put my mind at ease, especially when I was having a bit of a panic.
As someone who started out petrified of roundabouts I can how do them with ease with the help and encouragement I got from him, I recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to drive, especially if you’re a rather anxious individual like me.
I tried two different driving schools before but Christian was the first instructor to help me build my confidence on the road, He helped me to pass my test on my first try! I doubt you could find a better instructor than him.
My experience with John Harvey Driving School was excellent. My instructor, Chris Jones was amazing. He took me through every detail and prepared me adequately for the test. I would readily recommend them to my friends.
A great experience with John Harvey Driving School. Marcello has been an expert and attentive driving instructor throughout my lessons. His small steps and very clear instructions at the beginning really helped me overcome my nervousness and lack of confidence.
The preparation for the test was excellent with mock tests and lots of practice on the different routes. I am very grateful and am delighted to have passed with his help!
