I have had the pleasure and joy to be taught by Brandon Nye of Jerry Holmes School of motoring. I would highly recommend these guys they are professional and extremely helpful. If it wasn't not for Brandon's calm nature, encouragement and professional manner in how he teaches I doubt I would have passed first time. If you are new to driving or had previous lessons these guys adapt their teaching style to you to get the end result we all want - an examiner saying 'congratulations you have passed'.

I had recommendations from my friends and family from their experience. The driving school were easy to contact and excellent customer service and also reliable. It was much harder than I expected at the beginning which required lots of concentration. This became easy over time with Jerry’s help. I liked Jerry’s driving techniques. I like the way my instructor taught and I found his methods helpful and beneficial to my training as each lesson became easier and enjoyable to do. Yes, I felt this driving school was very reliable and had a kind instructor. I felt like I was making the most out of every lesson. I had the best experience and I did not feel that it had to be enhanced in any areas.

I was looking for a friendly driving instructor more than anything and Brandon was very friendly and understanding. The price was a factor, very reasonably priced and great quality lessons. I have had two previous instructors and I had expected the same strict approach but, it was completely different, relaxed and I felt comfortable with my driving. Brandon teaching was fantastic clear and easily understandable. Previously I struggled with parallel parking, but with Brandon’s method, it’s one of my favourite manoeuvres now. 100% yes recommend Friendly, reasonable and approachable.

I choose the driving school as it was Quick response and very friendly I had lessons before with another driving school, but this time I found it much easier, as I felt calmer with my instructor Brandon. I couldn’t fault the Teaching methods as there’s no wrong or right way to do some things. I.e. Bay parking as long as it’s safe and under control I would recommend Jerry Holmes Driving School as it felt easy to learn I have had no problems with the driving school A*.

I wanted to find a driving school that was Cost effective and quality, and a nice the car to drive. Learning to drive was what I expected it was great, my instructor’s methods where very relaxed, let me get to grips with all the aspects of driving in my own time. Great driving school to learn with, the instructor was great I would have not change anything to be honest; all was very professional from start to finish.

Jerry was a fantastic instructor good for both people who want to learn quickly and those who perhaps need a little more time. Very professional service able to provide somewhat flexible times to suit you as best as possible

Due to shift work and college + health at the time, flexibility was important to me. As well as friendly and encouraging and someone easy to speak to and friendly as well as supportive and encouraging. Learning to drive was a lot more difficult for me than I thought, especially the clutch and gears, however with persistence and practice I managed to overcome the difficulty. I thought Jerry was very diverse and adaptive when it came to methods, there were visual aids, videos, lists. When I told Jerry I work better with lists he helped me to write one out. Yes! A fantastic driving school I thought the attitude of Jerry and the company’s morals were very trustworthy and reliable. I was never in a position where I was not happy with any part of my lessons. Thank you for being patient with me, even when I stopped for a while / awkward shifts. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with my lessons. You taught me how to drive and be aware, not just to pass my test! Thank you.

Good value for money; patient and friendly and encouraging. I was taught how to drive, not just how to pass both tests. I was taught how to be a safe, responsible, competent driver. It was a lot more intensive than I expected. I wasn’t expecting it, but my legs and head ached a lot at the beginning from concentrating and using the pedals. Jerry was patient and understanding and most of all adaptive. If I needed a picture he would draw one if I needed instructions I got them. A driving school I would recommend most definitely, as I said above, you are taught how to drive, not just to pass the test. I feel Jerry Holmes Driving School makes all there drivers safe, competent drivers.

Experienced safe Driving Instructor, who is patient while driving and to be able to bond with Jerry the driving instructor and to help explain things well to me. Pick it up quicker than expected like second nature as Jerry explained thinks clearly so I became confident. Jerry was very good at explaining things and helped me visualise what I need to do in order to drive safe as possible. Great driving school because they know what they are talking about and know how to drive safely. Jerry has been very good with his teaching methods as I felt like the driving was for my benefit .

Jerry has been the most amazing instructor. I left one driving school and came to Jerry, this was the best decision I’ve ever made. Jerry is a calm, and understanding driving instructor who is very supportive throughout the process. He helped me improve so much with a first time pass! It was such a joy learning with you! I would recommend to anyone. Worth the time and money and even providing support after passing my test! Thank you Jerry 🙂

I wanted to fine a local firm, with good feedback and reliable approach with recommendations. Jerry teaching methods I found it very technical and concise a lot to learn excellent, a good mixture of approaches, suited to my needs and time schedule. (Just right) I also found jerry’s advice around being safe around bad drivers/ driving to be excellent and informative. Yes I would recommend Jerry as a driving instructor Jerry’s approach is measured and he used different styles/approaches to suit my needs and meeting me where I was in this moment to achieve best results.

A new challenge and more calming than expected. Very professional, very easy going and patient with the pupil, very explanative with any queries and gives pupils confidence in themselves, very encouraging. I would recommend Jerry to anyone, as I found him to be the best instructor, and any new pupils would benefit themselves with Jerry’s teaching.

The main factor was finding an instructor who could teach me up to pass my test and make me the best driver I could be under their teaching Hence my choice. Other important factors are finding someone who was affordable and also took recommendations into consideration when choosing. In some ways it was just what I expected but in others it was very different, being that some things was very complicated but, all made easier by top quality teaching. I found the methods used very effective and easy to understand, nothing was made difficult. It was very clear and well done. Recommend yes most definitely, I think that teaching would be easy to understand and the way in which it is taught would benefit people. I don’t feel that there is anything that could have been improved. I felt everything runs well and is executed in a fantastic manner, which impacts well on your learning.

Jerry was very polite and patient during all lessons while offering a professional service. During each lesson Jerry would give clear instructions and discuss your strengths and weaknesses to help tailor each lesson to your needs. Even with a busy work schedule Jerry can pick you up from home or work which allowed less worry about getting to work on time. With Jerry's help I managed to pass first time with his calm and professional service.

I had Brandon as my driving instructor and I could not have asked for anyone better! I really struggled with the thought of learning to drive but after a first lesson with Brandon, he’d managed to turn full on anxiety into excitement. His patience and understanding was amazing, he’s always calm and knows exactly how to put you at ease. Mistakes weren’t a problem in his eyes, which was a big plus, because he just talked you through it, calmed you down and let you try again. Apart from that he’s an honest, genuine and lovely man! (With a great sense of humour!) I can’t put it into words really; you’d have to find out yourself! 10/10 experience.

I looked for a driving school local to me, affordable driving lessons and have fantastic reviews. Before I started driving I thought, if some old lady can do it, I’m sure I will have no problem. I was nervous at first, but naturally that was to be expected. I was Calm and at a steady pace. I understand I can be somewhat difficult. It’s easy for me to misunderstand and be misunderstood. But Jerry methods helped me through if I can do it then anyone can do it Jerry can help anyone pushing me a little more to help me progress. I know I can do it, but times I was not so sure.

I chose this driving school because I wanted to find a friendly driving instructor and someone who would be helpful. Jerry was, also so I looked for flexibility as I was at school and needed a driving instructor who was free after school time. Jerry teaching methods were very helpful and he explained the methods clearly and good, I would recommend Jerry Holmes Driving School and Jerry as a driving instructor.

It is a ridiculously good feeling having passed my driving test, and the journey here with Jerry has been a pleasure in its self. Driving into the test centre, behind the nerves, I felt a confident, safety-minded road-user and proud of the driving style I had developed. This positive mind-set was down to Jerry and the skills he had taught me through an individually tailored programme, which took into account my strengths, weaknesses and natural learning style. Thank you Jerry, 100%.
