I need to book driving lessons for my 17 year old son and wondering if anyone has any recommendations of people they have used. Thank you

Chris at mini driving school is absolutely brilliant, I just passed with him aged 36! Reasonably priced, gets you to pass first time and makes it fun.

I passed my test with Claire after failing 3 times TODAY with 0 faults! It worked for me as she is very good at pointing out and correcting all the faults I made. Due to time limitation, I had to book a test at a test centre which I'm not familiar with at all. Claire took me there and we tried all the possible complicated routes before the test. She prepared me for so many nasty scenarios that I thought I'd never pass the test as it seemed so difficult. However, when I actually had my test, everything feels so easy as she has covered most scenarios with me, including 1) I had to let go ambulances on a busy 40m/hour road with busy traffic; 2) Had to change lanes in a busy road while approaching roundabout; 3) Sandwiched by two big lorries with the front one going extremely slow and the rear one eager to take over on busy road etc, etc. I know I would have been panic in those situations before but I handled very smoothly that the examiner said that I drove very nicely! Well, the '0' probably said it all!
Based on those, I highly recommend Claire, especially if you are a woman! She's not only very patient, but also knows well how woman drives!

And yet another good word for the amazing Claire Jones. I’m an overseas driver with little driving experience and Claire gave me the confidence I needed to drive again and pass first time with just one minor!
Claire is a truly gifted instructor. She is relaxed and patient but puts emphasis and enthusiasm on the right things. She helped me to get rid of some bad driving habits and used each lesson efficiently to focus on the things that can make the difference between passing or failing on test day. She knew the test centre in Morden and surrounding areas very well. We practised near the test centre at different times and using various routes to make sure I was prepared to face a wide variety of driving scenarios.
I can now say I actually enjoy driving – even in London! - and I’m a much more confident and even safer driver thanks to her.

Another gratitude to Claire Jones - mob. 07525464708.
I have passed my test from 1st attempt with Claire today (in this horrible weather!) with a few small minors, all thanks to Claire's patience and firm but kind approach. Claire is committed to get you to drive safely and confidently, I think she had so far 100% success rate this year (8 out of 8 from 1st attempt) - the result speaks for itself.
I have tried 3 different instructors in London and always, as a woman, felt inferior and lacking confidence. It helped to have Claire focussing on my problems with driving and consistently teaching anticipation on the road. You still have to work hard and don't expect magic but I am grateful for recommendation here on NVN and getting my licence in less than 3months with Claire Jones.
Can't recommend her highly enough, not that I will miss my daily driving lessons but will definitely remember her kind sense of humour and professionalism.

Claire sounds fantastic. Is she manual or auto ?

Naomi Elia (07862 705 063) has taught loads of people off NappValley. Some have been Refreshers and most beginners have passed their Driving Tests 1st time.

She is also very flexible at working round busy mother and baby schedules!

She teaches Manual

I just passed my test with help from the amazing Claire Jones and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a driving instructor. I learned to drive overseas and Claire was extremely patient with my numerous bad habits. She knows this area like the back of her hand and I felt she prepared me well for all the tricky situations that I could encounter on the test. I found Claire through this site and was worried that she wouldn't live up to the praise she has received already on this site. I needn't have worried - Claire was great and made the whole process really enjoyable!
