Testimonials

Thank you so so much to Jean for helping me secure a first time pass. I went from having very little idea of how to operate a car to being a safe and confident driver in just 2 weeks. Can’t say a single bad thing about the experience, would recommend to anybody and everybody.

Jean was fantastic with Jack after a week of intensive lessons he was a changed driver and was ready for his test. We could not more highly recommend Jean who was very calming influence in Jacks route to passing his test. Thanks again Jean

A huge thank you to Jean Pankhurst for teaching my son ,Tom who passed first time today. I can’t believe how much he’s developed in the time you had with him . He’s gone from a very anxious learner who didn’t look forward to lessons to a confident and safe driver who couldn’t wait to get out in the car with you. You have offered so much support and assistance x

Highly recommend this driving school! I’ve tried hourly lessons before but it’s easy to forget things when there’s a gap between them, and it sometimes felt like a rush to cram everything into each lesson. My instructor Alison was amazing – really knows her stuff, explained everything super clearly, and was very reassuring when I was anxious about driving. She made manoeuvres click when I’d struggled to get my head around them before. I did a 1 hour assessment lesson before booking a course and actually needed fewer hours than I expected. Well worth it!

Jean was a very patient, supportive instructor. She remained confident in me throughout the whole experience and didn’t give up until I passed. I would definitely recommend her!

I had Alison as my instructor after many attempts at starting my driving and going through many instructors but with Alison I felt so at ease and comfortable. She calmed my nerves and helped me focus on what I needed to improve on and always praised me on things I did well which helped build up my confidence, she made it pleasurable to drive and didn’t make it feel like a chore! Alison was the best driving instructor I’ve had and coached me through my tests with the patience of a saint! 100000% recommend Alison as an instructor!!! Thank you so much!

I had Alison as my driver instructor and she is an absolute god send, she put me at ease with my driving and come up with different ways to help me understand.

Alison was so patient with me and we had many laughs! when I passed I was an absolute wreck! but I couldn’t of done it with out Alison thank you so much!!!x

Very pleased with kent driving school, my instructor was Peter Barnett and I couldn’t recommend him or the school more, I will be sending people this way in the future!

Today I passed my test first time with Pete. He was absolutely amazing, I really couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! He helped me with my nerves and all the anxiety leading up to the test. He was able to teach me all the manoeuvres, show me tell me questions and much much more in less than a week! Absolutely lovely man, made me feel very comfortable and most importantly he could have a laugh. Thank you again pete!! ????

Had a certain date I had to pass my test by for work and Jean helped me through it all and passed my test first time with only 20 hours. She was very supportive and brought out the positives no matter what happened. Made me feel very confident and comfortable in the car too. Many thanks to Jean for this.

I could not have asked for a better driving instructor than Jean. She was so incredibly kind and patient. I tried learning to drive a manual at first, I really didn’t enjoy it and it put me off driving completely. Jean suggested I try automatic and helped to massively restore my confidence and find the joy in driving again. After one week of driving of an automatic car I passed my test first time.

Highly highly recommend her!

Jean took on our daughter Rachel and spent quality time with her to unlock some of the personal barriers she was facing. Even after the first lesson Rachel said that Jean was great and really settled in with her. It took a few tests but Jean was always so positive and determined to work with Rachel. She was so kind when Rachel passed and did an amazing job. Cannot recommend her highly enough.
