Margate Driving Lesson Reviews
Good driving school and Instructor. Teaching was very good, would recommend!
Someone who made me feels comfortable and who was easy to talk to, friendly, patient and convenient. Learning was less stressful than I anticipated. However driving was more difficult than I thought. The instructor Brandon’s teaching methods were faultless. Couldn’t ask for a better instructor friendly and easy to get along with.
I needed to find an instructor that was friendly and the cost of the lessons at a reasonable price. It wasn’t as hard as I thought but it was fun. The teaching methods were effective and easy going. I would recommend this driving school.
I was looking for Quality service and a good driving school with Good reputation and relatively good value for money. My experiences of learning were made a lot easier thanks to my driving instructor Brandon and was a lot more fun than I expected. Teaching methods were excellent! I started learning to drive with no knowledge at all and managed to pass first time because he knew exactly what needed to be done. I would recommend Jerry Holmes Driving School, Definitely, because it was a much better experience than I thought it would be and everything I needed to know was given to me.
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.
