Anil at Formula Jon Driving School helped me to pass my driving test. I took automatic driving lessons with Anil. Before learning with Anil I failed the test several times, but passed “first time” since learning with Anil. He gave very helpful advice, is friendly, reliable and professional, and gave me the reassurance that I needed. I would 100% recommend Formula Jon and Anil. Thanks again

I had been doing my driving journey for a year now and had Ravi as my instructor, passed my second front test a week ago and wouldn’t have been able to without ravis patience and support. Will miss our Saturdays spent together

Had the pleasure of having Ravi as my instructor. He was fantastic to put it bluntly. While not being overly strict like I have heard of some other instructors (at other companies to be specific) he covered everything that I needed to know and went through it and explained it in a very understandable way. With his help, I managed to pass my test on my first attempt. Thank you again Ravi.

I learned automatic driving with Anil from Formula Jon, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. He was always patient, polite, and very professional. His instructions were clear and he corrected my mistakes calmly, which made every lesson stress-free. Best part was I never felt anxious or afraid behind the wheel. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my test. I would highly recommend Anil and Formula Jon to anyone learning to drive.

If there were awards for patience, Jon would have a trophy cabinet full. As a very nervous driver heading into my 4th driving test (yes my own doing!) Jon never lost faith, never lost his calm and somehow kept me sane. His support and reassurance made even my most panicky lessons manageable. Jon is a fantastic Driving Instructor. His manual driving lessons at Formula Jon Driving School completely transformed my confidence. Against all odds (and nerves!) I passed and I genuinely couldn’t have done it without him. If you’re nervous or need an instructor with the patience of a saint, Jon is your person.
