Free Driving Controls Lesson For NEW Students

Formula Jon Driving School was established in 2019 by a former Police Officer driven by a passion for both teaching and driving. Jon Kenny, previously a Police Response driver and a proud member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM), founded the school with a clear vision: to deliver top-notch driver training at reasonable rates to the residents of Sutton, Surrey, and the neighboring areas of Greater London. Following his departure from the Police force in 2017, Jon embarked on the journey to become an ADI (Approved Driving Instructor). Upon successfully completing all three parts of the process, Jon obtained his qualification and promptly commenced his remarkable journey, achieving an exceptionally high first-time pass rate while operating under a Driving School Franchise. His exceptional ability to motivate and establish strong connections with students of varying ages and skill levels quickly became evident. Jon earned a reputation as the instructor who could succeed where others had failed. This garnered him outstanding reviews across various online platforms, rapidly solidifying his reputation. By July 2019, Jon's direct client base had grown substantially, prompting him to part ways with his franchise and establish Formula Jon Driving School independently.

Formula Jon Driving School has over 40 years of combined driving teaching experience indicating a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the field of driver education. Formula Jon Driving School has a strong foundation in providing quality instruction, helping students develop essential driving skills, and ensuring they are well-prepared for safe and responsible driving. With such extensive experience, the driving school has adapted its teaching methods over the years to stay current with evolving traffic laws, road safety practices, and advancements in vehicle technology. This wealth of experience contributes significantly to the success and satisfaction of the students who enrol boasting an average 75% first time pass rate compared to the national average first time pass rate of 49%

“I've greatly enjoyed my lessons with Jon and recommend him wholeheartedly. Great banter, and an even better teacher. He's methodical in his approach and will help you focus and improve on the areas of your drive you find challenging.”

“Jon is undoubtedly one of the best instructors I have had the pleasure of teaching me and believe me I’ve been through my fair share of instructors! He has great patience with nervous drivers like me. He has built my confidence and taught me a valuable life skill. He also has a great sense of humour and helps you see the positives. Thanks to Jon I passed my test finally!.”

“Jon made learning to drive really easy, an excellent driving instructor and I wasn't a natural but he managed to get me there first time. A real good laugh and I really enjoyed my lessons. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of starting their lessons..”

“I did automatic lessons with Jon and I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. He's made me laugh, kept me calm and been so patient throughout the whole process. I passed my test on Friday with 3 minors and I couldn't be happier. I'm so glad I found Formula Jon!”

highly recommend Formula Jon Driving School to anyone! Very professional, supportive and a good value for money. Anil is a very good instructor. He was very thorough in all the lessons, very attentive, informative, highly patient and punctual. He systematically helped me get over my nerves, his car is comfortable to drive and manoeuvre Jon is always happy to help sort out any problem, he’s approachable and friendly. A massive thank you to Anil and Jon!
