s. h.

After noticing John through positive feedback on Google after seeking a new instructor. I can honestly say, John is the friendliest, most patient and informative and helpful instructor you could choose. Lessons are well structured and person centred/led. Great and easy to remember techniques practiced to carry out manoeuvres all to a high standard. Consistently carrying out all aspects of the lesson to test standard. Lessons progress well and cover all potential outcomes and test routes. I belive without John's support and guidance I wouldn't have been able to pass as swiftly and owe him all credit to passing and being taught so effectively. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of starting lessons.

I picked up driving with John six years after failing three driving tests. The test itself had completely changed and as an anxious person, I really had to push myself to go back to driving again. But I'm so glad I did, because John was incredibly supportive and believed in my abilities even when I didn't myself. His patience when I was struggling was fantastic and really put me at my ease for the test. I was delighted to pass my test for the second attempt with John as my instructor. Would recommend to anyone, especially nervous would be drivers!

I would highly recommend John at Pathway Driving. He is an excellent instructor with lots of patience and is extremely supportive. I have really enjoyed my lessons with John, he always makes me feel at ease and gives clear explanations of what to do. I can’t thank John enough for helping me pass my test!

S. L.

Where do I start?! John is honestly the best instructor I’ve had the pleasure to learn from. I had a bad experience with my previous instructor when I was around 18 which really knocked my confidence and I didn’t have the courage to have any more lessons for a further 12 more years! I finally plucked up the courage to start again and chose John at Pathway Driving based on the good online reviews. This was the best decision I’ve ever made! Not only does John have the patience of a saint, he makes sure that he adapts his teaching style to how you learn. He explains things really well and I’m never too scared to ask him to repeat what he means if I’m unsure. He gives you really handy hints and tips in areas you’re really struggling with and suddenly those areas become really easy! I went from a reallly really anxious driver initially to a confident one that also passed FIRST TIME. If someone said to me a year ago that I’d pass on my first attempt, I’d have never believed them. I always thought it was out of the question and that I was bound to fail a few times. I literally cannot believe I’ve passed my driving test after years of anxiety about being on the road! I now can’t wait to purchase my first car and drive around on my own - the thought of this would have previously made me feel incredibly anxious - but John has equipped me well to drive on the road! He’s also really flexible and understanding with your working hours which was a massive help to me as I worked quite far away so could only get home later in the evening. You can tell he really cares about you becoming a confident and safe driver and he is really rooting for you! He was buzzing when I passed - as was I! If you want to have a really good, patient and experienced driving instructor - John is the guy you need to go to. You will honestly not regret it. I am so proud I’ve passed and so thankful for all of John’s help. I will miss our lessons now that it’s all over!

I cannot recommend John highly enough. I had four failed tests before I came to Pathway and as a late learner was apprehensive about whether I would pass. However right from the first lesson John’s skill as an instructor and his patience and encouragement really helped me to progress. When it came my test I felt thoroughly prepared but mentally I was doubting myself a bit but John encouraged me and made me believe in myself and I passed!! I have had other teachers in the past but John was the most professional and positive instructor, and I think that his teaching is absolutely first class. He is patient and friendly as a person and I would say as an instructor he would give you your best chance of passing your test. Thanks John!

M.

L. I.

John was an excellent instructor who was patient, knowledgeable and knew the area extremely well to help me pass my test. He was always flexible and knew exactly how to get me test ready. He makes you feel very relaxed and comfortable. Would 100% recommend.

I have been with John Paul since my first ever lesson and he has been absolutely amazing to me, I couldn’t recommend him enough because he will just get straight to the point. Thanks to John I passed first time !! Absolutely over the moon thank you John !!

S. B.

Thank you so much for all your help John. I was not the most confident driver but with John's help i have been able to grow my confidence with driving. He's been patient and never rushed with anything. Always worked around my work hours. Passed second time and would highly recommend John.

E. P.

I would highly recommend John at Pathway Driving. Johns teaching style is patient and thorough. He made my lessons really enjoyable. Not only did I pass first time with a 2 hour lesson per week, I passed in 6 months. I have recommended John to many family members and friends, and would continue to do so. John is a great, down to earth guy, who clearly has a passion for what he does.

S. M.

Couldn't recommend John enough, made me feel so comfortable and relaxed when driving especially on my first couple of lessons. Today I passed my test with zero faults and couldn't thank john enough in helping me achieve this. Brilliant instructor would recommend to anyone.

m. s.

Brilliant!!! Hands down the best and most dedicated and reliable instructor in Liverpool hands down. Passed with no miners at all thanks to his calm attitude and easy clear instructions Really did make it simple and easy to learn and definitely ease my nerves. I felt comfortable he makes you feel more than just a learner driver. I will be recommending John to everyone and I do recommend him to you reading the reviews! Thank you very much John!

R. A.

John at Pathway Driving was my second driving instructor after a 2 year gap from a poor experience with my first instructor - and wow, what a difference! John is cheerful and friendly and immediately puts you at ease, which is what you need when driving relies so heavily on confidence! I was given a progress card and access to handouts on the website to be able to read up on different manouveres and skills in between lessons too. John is really helpful, teaching tips, tricks and guides to be able to easily remember different skills and manouveres. And it clearly worked - I passed my practical test first time! Thanks John!

L. G.

John is very helpful and very patient instructor, who will do his best to squeeze in lessons even if he is extremely busy. He is very friendly, but he won't be scared to give you constructive criticism if you have made a serious mistake. Definitely recommend his driving school.

M. H.

I have had two instructors and shouldve went with John from pathway the first time round! He was amazing, patient, and did not try and rip you off. When I had the first instructor, it really felt like he was just trying to pocket my money and lagged the whole experience and I wasn't learning much, plus he was late 95% of the time. John from pathway got straight to the point , passionate to teach, and was giving me sooooo much driving tips!! I am so thankful for John as he helped me PASS my exam right away after his lesson!!! I HIGHLY recommend John for his professionalism, enthusiam, and most importantly not just pass the exam but be a SAFE driver from here on end!!!! LOOK NO FURTHER FOR ANY OTHER INSTRUCTORS!! BOOK WITH JOHN FROM PATHWAY!!!

A. S.

What a great instructor and a great guy John from Pathway driving is, he helped me to pass first time. He is so patient and so approachable. Would recommend to anyone whether it is their first time driving or just need some refresher lessons.

L. M.

When I first started driving I was a nervous wreck, but John made me feel relaxed and was always able to calm me down by giving me direct instructions. This helped me to learn quicker and enabled me to pass first go. He was firm, friendly and very understanding as he always understood that I was anxious. I would 100% recommend!!!

C. S.

A great big thank you to john for all your patience with me through out my lessons and test what a brilliant instructor who fills you with confidence and knowledge and the practical skills needed to pass your test. John is a very friendly reliable and honest instructor who i would recommend to anyone

D. K.

After a long hard journey I finally passed my driving test. I don't think I would be have been able to get through the tough process of passing the exam without John he has been great in every aspect of my learning. I would highly recommend his services to anyone, as he will get the best out of you and your driving. Thanks again John it has been a pleasure 👍🏼

h. W.

Thanks to John i passed my driving test 2nd time with just 3 minors! he has the patience of a saint and helped me build my confidence so much, very professional, extremely reliable and worked around my work hours great. Couldn’t recommend him enough! Hands down the best instructor in liverpool.

s. t.

I'm not someone who learns new things or adapts quickly or easily, yet never was I rushed, only ever encouraged, inspite of my strong phobia of tests and failed attempts at the practical, I never felt I was going to get dropped as a student to avoid spoiling the pass rate. Today I officially passed, I couldn't have done it without my instructor, who I would also brand the best teacher I ever had. John is a friendly, helpful and patient person who I have recommended plenty and directed others to in the past and I will continue to do so. This is my first review in all the years I have had account and it needed to be done, I feel I have began a new chapter in my life where I'm no longer grounded by work, disability and public transport! Sincerely Soraya

Recommended to me by work colleague, after being let down by my previous instructor found John's attitude and teaching approach really simple to follow, put me at ease very quickly. Made rapid progress in self confidence which John commented was probably the biggest cause of my delay in being test ready. As I had the necessary skills and ability but didn't believe in myself. John by comparison found a way to bring that self confidence forward therefore perfecting my skills and techniques resulting in a pass with only 3 minors today. Couldn't have wished for a more open and understanding instructor. Would highly recommend John I know in myself I couldn't have achieved this result without his insight and support

G. R.

Just wanted to say John is a brilliant instructor.. patient, calm, totally professional keeps you calm and his instructions are clear and and the confidence he gives you is second to none.. I was more nervous than ive ever been in my life but the minute you get in his car he puts you at ease.. it was like learning to drive with a friend rather than a instructor.. hes totally understandable with you regarding work hours and shifts.. if anyone is thinking of learning to drive i would 1000% recommend John at pathway driving.

S. P.

If you are looking for an incredibly friendly and helpful instructor look no further than here. John is a calm and concise instructor. If you make a mistake he stays calm and just talks you through the problem and helps you fix it. His explanations of how to do each maneuver was concise and clear. I highly recommend him as an instructor.

I was recommended to John through a work friend who was taking lessons at the time. I had always wanted to learn to drive but could never go through with it. I have a few problems with Social Anxiety. My wife phoned and booked a taster lesson as a surprise for Valentines day! Despite being terrified and anxious at the mere thought of stepping into a car with a brand new person, I did it and I'm glad I did! John was absolutely fantastic in every way, I can't fault him at all. Bearing in mind that I was at the peak of my illness, still getting settled on new meds etc. John couldn't do enough for me. Lessons were carefully planned and instructions were clear and to the point. I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend John to anyone. I started my lessons in February and passed my practical yesterday, 18th July. Owing it all to John and his teachings. Thank you very much John

L. F.

Just managed to pass first time thanks to Pathway Driving! I was so unconfident and nervous when I first started out, but John lets you learn at your own pace and makes sure you're learning everything you need to know at the same time. With Pathway, There's great access to online information sheets which allows practice outside of lessons, as well as online help with your theory too. Lessons are calm, fun and relaxed, which is exactly what you want when learning to drive. I can't thank you enough John 👍🚙

M. K.

I would highly recommend pathway driving as I recently passed my test first time around. I feel John is a very patient and thorough instructor and I don't believe I would have succeed as well with any other instructor. Thank you again for all the support. Megan.

John is a lovely instructor, he made me comfortable and enabled me to gain confidence whilst driving, I have recommend John to several of my friends also, as my honest opinion is that he try’s his best to get the best out of each pupil on his lessons!! I passed with John with only 5 minors, which I genuinely just believe was my nerves! Since I passed at the beginning on December I have confidently been able to follow a sat nav and drive on long drives on the motorway the longest being 4 hours 30 minutes. Now if that doesn’t show how much of a genuine person John is I don’t know what will because my confidence came on so much, he would correct me when I was wrong allowing me to learn from my mistakes. John never cancelled on me and was always on time, unless I was notified that he was going to be late ! Thankyou John. Also the examiners words after I passed my test was “it was a lovely drive”.

A.

Would definitely reccomend going with pathway driving. John was amazing and helped me to pass first time even though I was very, very nervous. He helped me through every issue and went over things over and over again until I was 100% confident with it. He was very supportive and patient.

S. C.

John was very friendly with my daughter when she was on her lessons, Ellie came home happy with her progress from every lesson, John reassured my daughter Ellie was making progress by saying “you’ve done well today mate” which I heard him say at the end of every lesson to my daughter! Ellie passed with very few minors and a lovely comment off the examiner. Well reccommended, Ellie was constantly learning from her little errors whilst on her lesson! Watching my daughter drive with over having 6 months worth of lessons make my heart burst with pride and I can only thank John for this!

F. C.

Absolutely brilliant experience. Passed first time! John is very calm, very attentive, and very friendly. Never once raised his voice (even though I was sometimes a trying pupil), and put me at ease in my first lesson. Highly recommend Pathway - thank you so much, John.

Hi All, I passed practical driving test with 1st attempt and with 4 minor only mistakes recently with John's simple techniques and clear instructions, actually had one instructor earlier and he took lot of time and money with lot of hours and but I didn't learned nothing from him, i decided to go some other instructor and i saw John's Reviews in Google and i decided to call him, my decision absolutely right and he took very few classes and now am a UK driving license holder :) and about John, he is best of best professional instructors, time punctual, good attitude etc in Liverpool and he got lot of manual's(junction maps & toy cars etc ) stuff to show instantly in simple way when we do any mistakes, I learned a lot from John and I don't think he wasted even 1 min of time, Thanks a lot John(Pathway Driving), you are a good human and best of best, i can give him a 10 Star********** Rating, I would recommend 1000% to any new guys who is looking to get UK driving license. Regards Vasu
