I wanted to fine a driving school with somebody who wasn’t too “military”. I was keen to have a driving instructor that was easy to talk to, and I felt I could easily communicate with, Brandon was incredible in that respect and Somebody I was semi- familiar with, as my brother also had Brandon. He couldn’t express how amazing his experience with him had been. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I looked forward to each lesson. I never dreaded getting in the car, even if something went wrong one the lesson before.

Overall, my driving experience has been one I will never forget. Brandon was incredible! His calm reassuring nature made me feel extremely comfortable when taking lessons. His manor of explaining “What went well” and “even better if” was so helpful. So that each lesson I knew where to improve! Thanks Brandon. Recommend this driving school Absolutely! I would 100% recommend the team because of their professionalism, and calm nature is the one that, hearing from my friends, not a lot of driving schools have.

I chose this school because I felt comfortable and encouraged by my driving instructor rather than rushed or under pressure this was important as I struggle with Confidence when I am not somewhere or doing something I'm used to. Jerry's car was a bit small for me but I felt comfortable driving his car. Learning to drive was a lot easier and enjoyable than I expected. Teaching methods were very useful and easy to remember when it comes down to it whilst you're driving with someone else in the car. I would definitely recommend this driving school and Jerry as a driving instructor. I have really enjoyed my time and always felt comfortable and I have always been encouraged which allows you to have confidence for your test. I can only add to this review but even with months of missed lessons and other difficulties he has always been patient and help me to pass.

I chose Jerry for his experience, as I looked for a driving instructor who has been teaching for many years. I also looked for good reviews and good feedback from others and you can see this with the many reviews Jerry has on his website. I expected to have difficulty with the lessons but Jerry as a driving instructor was able to teach the way which I found best for me. I found Jerry teaching methods very detailed and easy to understand he would also go over things I found difficult until I was happy. I definitely would recommend this driving school he is supportive and experienced.

I passed first time with Jerry Holmes Driving School and can't recommend them enough. I started lessons with Jerry in late 2021, although I had some previous experience 2-3 years ago at uni with an instructor who was unreliable and rushing me to take my practical. Jerry is very patient and thorough, very professional and as someone who can get anxious at times, he always reassured me of my driving ability and helped correct any bad habits. Throughout your lesson you will get a lot of feedback, and you 100% have control of how fast/slow the lessons go or what you want to cover depending on your confidence. I was recommended this driving school from a friend and can't fault the service. I'm looking forward to getting a car and enjoying newfound freedom! Thank you for your help!

I chased this driving school for the Quality of teaching, I would have rather gone with Jerry than a big company who may have been cheaper but lesser quality of teaching. Jerry was Convenience, as Jerry has been able to meet me anywhere for my lessons. Learning to driving was about what I expected, the more practice you do the more natural it becomes Jerry teaching methods where Perfect; Jerry was able to connect with me personally, which made the experience easier. 100% yes, everything was perfect. I would recommend Jerry Holmes Driving School.

I chose Jerry Holmes Driving School for its good ratings online from previous pupils. And able to pick me up Pricing being reasonable to The experience to drive was great but It took longer than expected ( mainly due to covid -19) But I felt a lot more confident and comfortable with driving when going in for my test. Brandon was an excellent teacher, always making me feel comfortable during every lesson. I had done some lessons before, my instructor there made me feel very unsure of my driving and it knocked my confidence but, instantly Brandon helped me relax and easily build up comfort and confidence driving. I would recommend this driving school; I think their ethos and attitude of the company of Jerry and Brandon is exactly how people should be taught. A way that builds safety, comfort and confidence driving, whilst being lovely and accommodating people Personally, I don’t think anything could be improved with Jerry Holmes Driving School.

Before I started learning to drive with Brandon I had expectations that the process of learning to drive would be extremely difficult and wouldn't be enjoyable however after my first lesson being taught by Brandon I began to realize driving was completely different. Brandon was approachable, understanding and a patient instructor that helped me learn useful skills that were picked up from his simple yet professional methods of teaching. Throughout my whole experience of learning with Brandon, I would highly recommend this jerry Holmes driving school to anyone wanting to learn 5 Star rating.

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 Choosed Jerry Holme Driving School because of Cost – I contacted the school with the best deal first, when I discovered the church connection (through a Friend of my) I went with Jerry and didn’t phone around others ( who also stopped in front of Grandparent’s house on the royal esplanade) Friendly, small school but I like Jerry School. When I stared learning I was expecting it to be easier and less nerve wrecking but I (wouldn’t’ change anything otherwise, there could have been a very different outcome.) Jerry teaching methods I don’t really have anything to compare them too but I would say the lessons are clear and concise. Yes I Would you recommend I have already recommended Jerry to someone. I appreciated being able to phone Andrea on the landline- it made contacting easier and friendly Thank you Jerry for helping.

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%.

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 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.

The most important criteria for me in choose a driving instructor was that there be mutual respect between the instructor and I.

Other factors that were important to me when choosing my Driving Instructor was that the instructor was very competent and able to give instruction in a way that responded to the way that I learned best.

How did learning to drive compare to what I expected?
I was very pleasantly surprised. When I took my lessons, I had already been driving for over 40 years. I learned A lot! And I became conscientious and attentive to the road and my environment in a way I simply wasn’t before. I would say I’m a much safer and more competent driver than I ever was.

How did you find your instructors’ teaching methods.
What I appreciated was that Jerry gave me several suggestions for ways of learning that might work for me. These included observing him driving, to providing commentary on my own driving, to watching video, and recording and watching my own video. It quickly became apparent which method was most beneficial for me. I appreciated Jerry’s willingness to follow the method I wanted, but also his sensitive coaching when he felt strongly that other approaches might be of particular benefit.

Would i recommend this driving school why?
Absolutely. There can be no higher recommendation than that I recommended that both my children take lessons from Jerry’s School of driving. I am clear that the instructor was highly competent as a driver, but also particularly able as an instructor, in understanding the best way to have me learn. Jerry practiced the perfect balance between being uncompromisingly straight with me when that was required, and giving me room to make mistakes. I always felt encouraged as well as challenged. I believe I got driving instruction of the highest calibre.

I was looking for a driving instructor who was sensible and explained things and who made the learning fun and not a chore. He was very professional with all his instructions and walked me through the whole process of joining his school and all the associated paperwork through to the actual driving lessons themselves. He was always very helpful when fitting me in around my busy work life. He is like that teacher at school who you actually looked forward to instead of dreading. He doesn't shout if you do something wrong but takes the time to explain what you have done wrong and how to improve. If you’re looking for a gd instructor you would not be sorry going with him as he is not just good but can say he is a great instructor. He seems to love what he does and is not just in it to make money unlike some of the horror stories around driving schools/instructors. The office staff will run you through everything from beginning to end and they are just as friendly as Jerry himself.

Personally, I believe that the most important criteria for when choosing a driving instructor is experience and patience. This is because, as a beginner driver you need someone that has had their fair share of experience and has the know how to teach others .From personal experience, patience is also a key factor, as not everyone is a natural when it comes to driving. A driving instructor needs to realize that and adapt to the student’s needs, which was demonstrated on many occasions with Jerry.
I thought I was going to be an unteachable student at the beginning; this is because I am a slow learner, especially when it comes to simultaneously controlling all the different internal controls inside the car.

My driving instructor Jerry, he’s methods were easy to understand and grasp, this claim can be supported by the countless years of driving experience he has gained and demonstrated to me and others.

I have already recommended you to several of my friends and family. I have told them about your teaching methods and how much experience you process, they have all since gained interest in your school.

Personally, there is nothing to improve upon, as you have showed exceptional customer service and support in our lessons.

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*.

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.

He always teach the lesson according to the learners ability.

It was much easier than thought I found Jerry very patient and he encouraged me when I lacked confidence. He was willing to practically and theoretically explain things and he focused on my personal strengths and weakness. Yes I would recommend Jerry, he was friendly and patient. He remained calm and always had a smile. He understood my personal needs and tailored the lessons to suit me.

I thought you were an excellent instructor Jerry as you were very calming and made me feel relaxed, although it may have taken some time to pass, I definitely feel like a safe and good driver now and I thank you for that as I feel that without your experience and knowledge, I may not be able to handle situations the way that I should do.

Hi everyone I passed my practical driving test and just want to say a few words. I’ve been driving for about three years and did give up at one point which was the worst mistake in my life. My theory test expired today and I passed my practical driving test today and that says something, never give up. Jerry didn’t give up, my parents didn’t give up, and you yourself do not give up. It’s the worst mistake you can make. Hope you can pass as well thank you … and Jerry is the best driving instructor I’ve ever had.

I was looking for good reviews and was recommended. I also knew by the website they have good pass rates. I had already driven a moped, so had same experience on the road but driving a car is different. Jerry was good at passing his teaching methods on to me and explains them to me which speeded up the learning; I would recommend Jerry Holmes Driving School because of the teaching methods thanks Jerry.

The most important criteria for me were that I would have a good teacher and I would become a good driver on the roads. That it wasn’t too expensive and was local to me, so I would know the area I’d be learning to drive in. It made it less scary. Learning to drive was better than I expected. I was worried that everything would be really complicated and that I would be really bad at it. I found the teaching methods really good. Everything was explained to me.

Most important factors were a driving instructor who was friendly, patient and easy to talk to. And price of lessons and flexible lessons around my college work. I thought there would be more theory but found it a lot more practical and I learnt it all quite quickly thanks to Jerry my driving instructor, Teaching methods was very good, always had an aim at the beginning of a lesson and feedback at the end which helped my progress. I would recommend as I past first time which helped. My instructor was very professional and supportive. Can’t think of any improvements with lessons.

I was looking for a professional school that would take the process seriously and would provide me with the techniques I needed to be a safe driver. I saw the car whilst out and thought it looked really smart so I was online looking for reviews! When I was looking into reviews it was important for me to see that the instructors were patient, professional and supportive, as someone with a nervous attitude I was really pleased to see all the great reviews from female students and so I was immediately confident this school would be a great choice! It was a lot more pleasant than I expected and I looked forward to my lessons each week as every lesson I always felt I had achieved something or learnt a valuable lesson, which really helped boost my confidence. Brandon was very patient, calm, clear and encouraging. I always felt comfortable, and Brandon was always willing to answer my endless questions and would always take his time explaining everything, so I always knew what I needed to do. Absolutely I would recommend this school without a doubt. In fact I already have, my brother now learns with the school and Brandon. Whilst some might see the cost and think it’s expensive it actually becomes cost effective – and you cannot argue with quality, especially when learning to drive. You get a fantastic 2 hour lesson, which really helps with learning process – think all schools should do a 2 hour lesson as you learn so much more and it becomes a valuable learning experience. Brandon was a great teacher and as a result of my learning with the school I had the skills and confidence to pass 1st time.

The most important thing for me was an instructor that was calm and friendly, as I felt nervous about learning to drive. Other important factors for me were a driving instructor with experience and a good knowledge to help me become confident and comfortable on the road. My driving instructor Jerry helped me to become confident and comfortable through being patient. I didn’t expect to learn methods so quickly, my lessons were always structured and in decided what I wanted to learn, which I didn’t expect but I did benefitted massively from. I learnt knowledge beyond passing the test which has made me feel more confident in my driving. I was always concerned about teaching methods as my sister had an instructor (with another company) that ended up putting her off her lessons. However my instructors teaching were structured. So I had a plan, I always knew where I needed to improve. My instructor provided a learning that suited all, by providing diagrams, drawings and welcoming to teach in the best methods for the individual. Yes, I would always recommend Jerry, as he was a fantastic instructor who was calm and patient with the experience and knowledge. Anyone who has jerry as an instructor is lucky I couldn’t fault my learner experience with Jerry Holmes School of motoring. I will be forever grateful to jerry for teaching me to drive!

I wanted someone who would be able to work around my work hours as well as someone who is friendly and cost effective. I used Jerry when I first started my lessons and he was very down to earth and friendly. I then went onto have Brandon as my tutor and I felt he reflected Jerry’s values very well and again was very friendly. The techniques that Brandon used to teach me were so easy to grasp. He is very easy to get along with. Even when I struggled with manoeuvres, Brandon helped me to work around them. Easy to learn and very helpful. I would recommend 100% because with Jerry / Brandon I would not have passed! The teaching methods are amazing! Brandon is great with communicating with me throughout the lesson. Absolutely nothing! The prices are great for the amount we fit into the lesson. The teaching methods are amazing!

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 .

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.

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.

Learning was very easy and enjoyable to what I was expecting and teaching method very clear and precise at what Brandon wanted me to do great driving school very easy to talk with instructor about any worries. No more to add as a very experienced instructor that was very helpful at getting me passed as quick as possible.

I needed to find an instructor who helped me to overcome anxiety from my previous instructors I had. I needed to learn how to drive to the correct standard. With Jerry my Instructor I felt comfortable. Learning to drive was almost like a bridge I couldn’t cross to begin with and I expected it would take me forever to learn. Jerry has been absolutely outstanding throughout my driving lessons. If there was something I was getting wrong, he had multiple ways of approaching the subject to me. I would definitely recommend because, without Jerry I would still be trying to learn and I believe no matter who you are, Jerry can makes you comfortable and teach you in a way that suits you.

My original instructor was Jerry but he was too busy to take me back on therefore recommended one of his other instructors Brandon. I was happy with the prices of the lessons and they were convenient. I found the lessons a bit stressful but Brandon made then fun. Brandon’s teaching methods were very good and comforting. I can’t fault this service so I would recommend.
