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.

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 someone who was supportive and offers encouragement to boost my confidence. I needed a driving school that was able to offer a suitable time for me around my school. Learning was a lot more factors to consider than I expected. A lot of concentration was required for observations. Brandon teaching methods really helped me as there was structure to my lessons and everything was clearly explained. Yes, I would recommend Jerry Holmes Driving School friendly service.

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.

Jerry was great, he has so much experience, and his teaching methods are very effective. He lets you plan out how you want your lessons to go, and what you want to cover. He’s also very consistent which is great. I have already and will continue to recommend to friends.
