Driving School Reviews“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!”
