About Julia Saxton

Julia runs Julia's School of Motoring, a driving school that's been helping learners in Kent for over 30 years. She's got a team of experienced female instructors who are all DVSA approved and DBS checked. They're known for their calm, patient approach, which makes learning to drive feel comfortable and straightforward, whether you're a complete beginner or someone who's feeling a bit nervous about getting behind the wheel. If you learn with Julia's school, you'll find they really focus on building your confidence at your own pace. They plan each lesson around what you need, so you won't feel rushed or pressured. Many of their students pass first time, and they welcome nervous learners, making the whole process feel more relaxed. They offer both manual and automatic lessons, plus extras like refresher courses and motorway driving, so you can get exactly the help you're after. They cover Gravesend, Dartford, Medway, and Bexley, and while they sometimes have waiting lists, they try to match you with an instructor based on your availability. It's a friendly, local school where you'll feel supported from your first lesson right through to your test.

TANYA CHIGONDA I would definitely recommend this driving school- mostly everyone in my family has been with Julia's and passed! I had Louise and had barely any knowledge on driving and I can say she was honestly such an amazing and friendly teacher who really helped me feel at ease and learn a lot to become a better and safer driver!

SARAH ROBBINS I originally started driving lessons 3 years ago with two different instructors and it wasn't successful, I was defeated both times before I even got near pass standard, then I tried one final time, this time with Julia... I have never been more thankful to someone for helping me achieve so much. Julia is calm, considerate, caring, understanding and above all an incredible teacher. I never thought I would pass and before Julia I never thought I would drive at all. Today I had my first driving test and passed with 5 minors, I am so happy and so so grateful, I would happily recommend Julias school of motoring to anyone ever. Thank you so much Julia.
