What our customers say We have many happy pupils who have learnet to drive and pass their driving test with James School of Motoring I came to James school of motoring from another driving school and quickly found that this is where I should of been from the start! Jim basically taught me everything again from scratch! He is very calm and patient and I felt relaxed driving with him. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jim, he gave me the skills and confidence needed to become a good driver. Katy Chapman

Firstly, I enjoyed every driving lesson. The best part was the little tips on how to complete different manoeuvres as this really helped me get to grips with what I was supposed to do and I used all these tips whenever I carried out these manoeuvres as I felt it was the easiest way to complete them. You always tried your best to make sure I had a lesson each week, even when you were going on holiday when my lesson was supposed to be we sat down and went through every time that I could do to see if it matched with your availabilities, and you were always on time to every lesson I had. While driving I was making mistakes in my lessons that would have failed me, but with your help I was able to pass my test first time and am no longer making those mistakes while on the road. I have recommended you to my cousin and friend who are both still with you and I would recommend you to anyone who is looking for an instructor.

I would easily recommend James School of Motoring to any of my friends or family! Not being the most natural driver, it took me a while to get the hang of sitting in the driving seat, but thanks to Jim's patience and awful singing I passed first time! Jim is a great instructor and makes the lessons really enjoyable. Thank you so much Jim!
