"Well what can I say, after so many years of stopping and starting driving with 2 other instructors I finally found John through my brother and I'm so glad I did. I was a nervous wreck and I had no self belief, I put down everything I did, told myself I was rubbish. But he (John) was so patient with me and reassuring telling me actually you can do it, you just need to believe in yourself and I finally did that and this man got me to pass 1st time with only 2 minors. You are fantastic so thank you I couldn't have passed without you. I would highly recommend."

"Recently just passed my test first time and was using Camber Driving school from the start. John is an excellent driving instructor, he adapted every lesson to make sure that it is tailored especially to you so you're able to make the best progress and make the all-important driving test look effortless. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn to drive, at any natural ability or confidence level."
Thank You again, John

Thank you so much John!"

Sophie Rooke - 11th February 2020

"John is a fantastic driving instructor who taught me really well. His calmness, kindness and knowledge allowed me to progress quickly and confidently as well as always giving me constructive criticism about what I could improve on. I learned in Oxford and I was well prepared for my test as he took me on many of the routes beforehand which was really helpful.
I would definitely recommend him to anyone learning to drive!"

Megan Pemberton - 30th January 2020

"John is an amazing instructor and a lovely person. I had lessons for a long time with 2 other instructors and was extremely nervous! As soon as I started with John my confidence and ability grew very quickly down to John's patience and ability to understand everyone learns differently and he can work with that.
I passed first time and yes I was the driver but John was the teacher who taught me all I needed to know."
Thank you John, you're the best!!!"

Kathryn Luft - 15 January 2020

"I am so so happy to be starting 2020 with a driving licence! I couldn't have done it without John, he is so patient kind and it's been so amazing to have someone teaching me who is so positive and happy. He's genuinely so down to earth and easy to talk to.
John simplifies things so much and has made driving for me fun. Just as I was giving up hope on ever having a licence I found John and his super automatic smart car! He didn't judge me or try and steer me into manual lessons, he was acceptive that I had struggled and was dedicated to teaching me and make driving a good experience for me.
John was super flexible around me and my family, school times and different places of pick up around my childcare. John also invited me in November to take part in the big learner relay, it was an absolute experience and i feel so honoured to have been part of leading the learner cars in part of the relay in aid for children in need.
My test was booked on the 31st December and he made sure I had lessons very close to Xmas to prepare me when most would be off work. I'd recommend John to anyone, a non judgemental dedicated kind driving instructor I'll miss our weekly lessons! "

"John is an incredible instructor who has the most amount of patience, reliability and kindness towards his learners. I passed first time this week after doing 30 hours of lessons in a semi intensive course, all in just 6 weeks!! Couldn't of wished for a better instructor and would recommend him to anyone, no matter their needs. Thank you for everything John!"

Tilly Bartlett - 18 December 2019

"John is a great driving instuctor. Even though i was really nervous he always gave me constructive feedback and he always was very paitent would highly recommend! Thank you John."

Marie Leach - 21st October 2019

"Honestly,I highly highly recommend this driving school to everyone! After 9 long and emotional years and 4 driving instructors later I finally passed my test with John!

It’s been a long tough road with some instructors shouting at me and some who made me feel uncomfortable and I would cry before going on a lesson and would be crying after them. Failing two tests but knowing I would before hand. John has honestly been the silver lining!! All I needed was my confidence built and a calm, laid back person who would let you make mistakes but not shout and make you feel stupid. Best driving school and the BEST driving instructor. I cannot thank John enough for finally getting me through my test. Thank you, thank you ."

Amber Bishop - 5th October 2019

"Learning with Rachel at Camber Driving School was easy and enjoyable. I passed first time and I did it all at my own pace. I would highly recommend Rachel as an instructor as it is easy to get on with her and learn so it is never boring. If you are a learner, I would recommend using Camber Driving School."

Kyle Young - 28th June 2019

Rebecca Kinchin - 8th April 2019

"I am pleased to tell you that Charles passed yesterday! Thank you very much for your help. I have to say that your attitude to his training was a welcome change to to that of several other driving instructors I have experienced. Your willingness to provide lessons to compliment the practice he had had with me was refreshing. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone."

Paul Fletcher - 28th March 2019

Abi Hornsby - 18th January 2019

"Hi John driving lessons with you were easygoing with still being formal I came away from every lesson feeling like I had learnt something as a result I passed first time. You were far better than my previous instructor, I would definitely recommend to any new driver. Many thanks Dan."

Daniel Cox - 4th December 2018

"Driving lessons were great, felt really comfortable throughout each one. John was a great help in making me have a better understanding of driving which gave me a lot of confidence going in for and passing my test."

Will McEachran - 4th December 2018

Sarah Hughs - 5th November 2018

"Finally got my driving licence back this morning which I'm thrilled about even though it's only valid for a year and I'll have to reapply next year. I'm incredibly grateful to you - thank you so much for your help and assistance."

Steve Mills - 12th November 2018

"I think an intensive course is the best way to go if you really want to drive and will listen and not be afraid to go out of your comfort zone, I think you as an instructor are brilliant and know what your talking about and will actually let you drive not like other places that don’t want to do much and get more lessons out of you, I wouldn’t have got zero minors if it wasn’t for you, thanks a lot Harry."

Harry Belson - 22nd October 2018

"John makes you feel comfortable while learning to drive and easy to ask questions or concerns on the road. Definitely would recommend!"

Emelia Callaghan - 15th November 2018

"Would 100% highly recommend John to anyone looking to start driving! He made the lessons suitable for me and kept me calm the whole time. John was also happy to pick me up from different locations, either being home or work. I cannot thank John enough for everything he did with me."

Emily Everett Brown - 10th October 2018

"Again thank you so much for your help. I really enjoyed our lessons and all of them were super helpful in every aspect of improving my driving skills."

Rachel Nyssen - 5th October 2018

"I lost a lot of confidence after failing 4 driving tests and this is when I was recommended to come to John. He was instantly welcoming and his calm approach made me feel very comfortable in something I was not confident with. I failed a further 3 times due to lack of confidence and each time John was patient and positive and encouraged me to keep trying again. I have finally passed my test after 8 attempts and if it wasn’t for Johns incredible instructing and supervising I think I would have given up! Would happily recommend 100 times over - thank you so so much!"

Ella Martini - 10th September 2018

"Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!! I’m sorry I didn’t have chance to text you yesterday but I really couldn’t of gone through all that kept calm and pass if it wasn’t for you. I’m so grateful for your time and effort to help me get my license back! You're brilliant thank you again."

Amy Woods - 7th September 2018

"John is a fantastic instructor, difficult parts of the driving test are made easy to understand with his friendly approach. I have been with 3 instructors to date, and John is far ahead of the others! I would highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in passing their test."

James Nash - 28th August 2018

"John was an incredible instructor with so much knowledge and skills when it comes to driving. Before contacting Camber Driving, I had a few lessons with a previous instructor and totally lost confidence in my ability and thought I would never pass my driving test. With John’s patience and reassurance, I began to believe that it was only a matter of time until I passed rather than a question of whether I would. Passing my driving test has given me an independence I have always wanted and I am so glad I gave it another shot. Thank you so much John for everything, you are truly great at what you do."

Keziah Horgan - 30th July 2018

"Thank you, it's all your merit! John is an exceptional driving instructor. He managed to find a special approach to such a difficult learner as myself. He is extremely patient and attentive to you. He praises you for success and encourages you to develop. I highly recommend to have 3 hours lessons before the test and 2 hours on the day. This helps a lot to pass the test."

Marina Nikoleavna Sidorenko - 30th April 2018

"John is a quiet, calm and informative instructor who will get you to test standard in as few lessons as possible. His students First Time pass rates are a strong testament to this. I would thoroughly recommend him."
