"I started taking lessons with Jon in August 2010 and have just passed my driving test!
"The best thing about learning to drive with Jon is that he is incredibly patient and he never gives up on you, even if you have convinced yourself of a lifetime on public transport.

"As an American ex-pat, with 40 years driving experience on the 'wrong' side of the road, Jon proved that you can teach an old dog new tricks.
"He was thorough, exceptionally organized, and most important for a driving instructor, both patient and calm. His assessments were frank, but always constructive, and he taught me many tricks I had not known about how to position the car for the highly-structured reversing manoeuvres.
"Most importantly, he was very knowledgeable about the testing routes in Herne Bay, all the tough intersections and potential problems.
"I'm convinced that his familiarity with the area, and his guiding me through the nuances, was a key reason I passed my practical test."
