John

After working many years in the automotive industry as a supervisor and on job trainer, John wanted a change of career where he could make a difference and have the satisfaction of knowing he has assisted people in reaching a personal goal.

John believes that making the student feel comfortable with both their trainer and the learning environment allows for an optimum learning experience. John has a friendly nature, a great sense of humour and a passion for making sure his students become safe and attentive drivers.

His experience in motor racing gives him the ability to train his students at a higher level in the three main key areas of driving:

1 Steering Control
2 Pedal Control
3 Visual Control

These three key areas, when trained correctly, will instill confidence and give any student the ability to take control of their driving.  Students will become experts at hazard detection, thus allowing them time to react and take control of any situation in a safe manner.  

It’s important to learn how drive safe for life, not just enough to pass your test.

Quotes

As someone with bad anxiety and autism. I will always recommend John. He was amazing with helping with anxiety and making me feel comfortable. The first few lessons I was able to bring a support worker until I was comfortable enough to drive alone with him. He is all about helping any type of driver making them comfortable. He has an amazing background that he brings to the lessons teaching a safe, responsible and proper handling of situations. He teaches everything in a way that is necessary and easy to understand. He is always my go to recommendation now and forever will be absolutely grateful for all his help. He prepared me well for the real world, driving on roads and all the other things you need as a driver. He helped prepare me for my test and we got to practice roughly what would happen multiple times so there was no shocks on the day. With all the support and understanding after all my lessons with him I was able to pass my test first go with him there to help me get through it . 100% John is the most kind, reliable and knowledgeable driving instructor there is. You can tell he is in it for the passion and love of driving.
