Went with Gavin again. 10 out of 10.
Went with Gavin again for our second son, transferring him from another instructor, and he was amazing again. Very patient and got our son properly prepared for his test which he passed first time (2 for 2 first time passes for Gavin). Highly recommended.

Thank you Miki
I honestly can’t thank Miki enough for everything she’s done for me. When I first started lessons with her I was really anxious after failing my test with another instructor and had completely lost confidence in myself. I wasn’t sure if I’d ever feel comfortable driving again but Miki believed in me from the very beginning.
She was always patient, professional and so positive. She took the time to understand how I learned best and tailored every lesson to suit me. She knew exactly when I needed encouragement, when to challenge me and when I just needed a bit of reassurance. Because of her I went from being a very nervous driver to feeling confident and to passing my test! I felt so well prepared on test day and that’s completely down to Miki’s amazing teaching and the time and effort she put into helping me. Every lesson was enjoyable and I always came away feeling more confident than when I arrived. As happy as I am to have passed I’m also a little sad that I won’t have Miki as my instructor anymore! She made learning to drive such a positive experience and I’ll really miss our lessons.
I couldn’t recommend Miki highly enough especially if you’re a nervous learner.She has such a calm, supportive way of teaching and genuinely cares about her pupils. Thank you Miki for believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself.

💙 The best driving instructors don't just teach people how to drive—they help people believe in themselves again.
What a beautiful review, and thank you for sharing such a personal journey with us.
Passing your driving test is a fantastic achievement in itself, but knowing where your journey started makes this success even more special. After losing confidence following a previous test, it would have been easy to give up. Instead, you found an instructor who saw your potential before you could see it yourself.
Miki's ability to adapt every lesson to each individual pupil is one of the reasons she's so highly regarded. Your words perfectly describe what great coaching looks like—knowing when to encourage, when to challenge and when a little reassurance is all that's needed. Confidence isn't built overnight, but lesson by lesson, that's exactly what Miki helped you achieve.
The fact that you're sad your lessons have come to an end says everything about the relationship you built together. That's something incredibly special, and we're certain your kind words will mean the world to Miki.
Congratulations once again on an achievement you've worked so hard for. Thank you for trusting Jarrett's Driving School with your journey, and we wish you a lifetime of safe, confident and enjoyable driving. Here's to the next chapter! 🚗✨
Louisa was an amazing teacher who helped me pass first time - I highly recommend!
Louisa was an amazing teacher, she covered all that I needed to know for the test and to be a good drive. It was a pleasure to be her student, and I always enjoyed my lessons with her. She helped me pass the first time around, and taught me everything to be a good, safe driver. I highly highly recommend!! ❤️

I passed my driving exam in the first…
I passed my driving exam in the first attempt thanks to Asdren. Not only did he prepare me for the exam but prepared me for real life driving where the skill levels required are much more higher than the 40 min exam. The teaching style is scientific, meticulous and logical. Every question I had was answered (even before or after lessons) with logical reasoning behind them. I would highly recommend him if trying to learn a manual car.

✨ Some instructors teach you to pass a test. Others leave a lasting impact for life.
Congratulations on an amazing first-time pass! 🎉 What a brilliant achievement, and one you should be incredibly proud of.
Reading your review, it's clear that this wasn't just about earning a driving licence—it was about gaining confidence, believing in yourself and enjoying every step of the journey. Knowing that Miki's patience, kindness and encouragement made such a positive difference is exactly what we love to hear.
One sentence really stood out to us: "Your kindness will stay with me for life." There is no greater compliment an instructor can receive. Teaching someone to drive is one thing, but making such a lasting impression on a person's life is something truly special.
We'll make sure Miki sees your wonderful words—they'll mean the world to her.
Thank you for choosing Jarrett's Driving School to be part of your journey. Enjoy every mile of your new adventure, stay safe on the roads, and never lose that confidence you've worked so hard to build. 🚗💙

Fantastic Service
I honestly couldn’t recommend Asdren highly enough. I recently passed my practical driving test with a completely clean sheet – zero driving faults – and a huge amount of the credit goes to his excellent teaching.
Having not driven in the UK for a long time, I needed someone who could quickly identify what I was doing well, correct the habits that needed improving, and prepare me properly for the test. Asdren did exactly that.
He’s incredibly knowledgeable, calm, patient and professional. Every lesson was well structured, focused and productive. Rather than simply teaching you how to pass the test, he teaches you how to become a safe, confident and competent driver, which is far more valuable in the long run.
His attention to detail is outstanding, and he has a great way of explaining things so they just click. He builds your confidence without ever making you complacent, and he genuinely wants you to succeed.
Passing first time with no faults is something I’m genuinely proud of, and I don’t think I could have achieved that without his guidance.
If you’re looking for a driving instructor who is patient, professional, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in your success, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Asdren. Thank you again for all your help—it was an absolute pleasure learning with you.

I passed my practical driving test first time
I passed my practical driving test first time at Jarrets driving school with Adel Shafik. He is an amazing instructor, who helped me tremendously. I started these lessons with not understanding how to drive in a safe manner as my past instructor did not teach me correctly. However, Adel was patient and taught me everything i needed to know to drive safely and pass my driving test first time. He helped me to become a confident driver as he explained and taught me how to handle different situations safely. He answered every question i asked and explained everything in an understandable manner. I strongly recommend having Adel Shafik as an instructor.

It's wonderful to hear how much you appreciated Vikas's flexibility and understanding. We know that fitting driving lessons around busy lives can be a challenge, so having an instructor who is accommodating, reassuring and able to build confidence makes all the difference.
Passing after just four lessons is a fantastic achievement, but it's clear that your previous experience, combined with Vikas's calm approach and ability to quickly identify exactly what you needed, created the perfect combination for success.
We'll make sure Vikas sees your kind words—they'll mean a great deal to him.
Thank you for choosing Jarrett's Driving School. We hope your driving licence opens the door to many exciting opportunities, and we wish you a lifetime of safe, confident and enjoyable driving. 🚗🌟
Passed with one minor on first attempt
I have positive experience with Jarretts. My instructor Jay was punctual, responsible and respectful. As a teacher he is strict and demanding, no chit chat. He set the bar very high, I wasn't very confident I'd pass, but thankfully the learning pains paid off.

Best driving school
Passed today first time with zero faults. Big shoutout to Ronald as an instructor. Very knowledgable, teaches you everything to a tea and explains all scenarios in detail to which you can apply whilst you’re on the road. I was always looking forward to my lessons with him and over time, I gained the confidence I needed to pass. If you’re in the pinner area, definitely book with Ronald.

Ronald will be delighted to hear your kind words. He's a fantastic driving instructor who takes great pride in making sure every learner fully understands not just what to do, but why they're doing it. Building confidence behind the wheel is just as important as developing safe driving skills, and it's brilliant to hear you enjoyed every lesson along the way.

I passed my driving test first time!
I passed my driving test first time yesterday in Watford only with two minors with my instructor Jay and i definitely vouch for him as he is an amazing instructor, very friendly and helpful i started with him in January never did Jay cancel a lesson, be late or dropped me home before time ended he was literally the best instructor you could ask for as soon as you listen to his advice your good. Even though he could be a bit strict at times it could be seen as a good thing as firm teachers are the best! On the day of my test he really calmed me down making me less nervous and imo we really bonded well Thank you so much Jay really appreciate it.

Passed with Mihaela
Passing my driving test on the first attempt today feels like a huge achievement, and I honestly couldn’t have done it without Mihaela.
When I started lessons with her, I was a complete beginner with no driving experience and very little confidence behind the wheel. From day one, Mihaela was patient, supportive, and encouraging. She always explained things clearly, stayed calm even when I made mistakes, and helped me build my confidence step by step.
What I appreciated most was her belief in me, especially on days when I doubted myself. She never just taught me how to pass a test. she taught me how to be a safe, confident, and responsible driver for life.
Learning to drive can be stressful, but Mihaela made the journey enjoyable and motivating. Her professionalism, dedication, and positive attitude made a real difference.
Thank you, Mihaela, for your patience, guidance, and support throughout this journey. Passing my test is a milestone I will always remember, and I’m truly grateful to have had you as my instructor. I would highly recommend Mihaela to anyone looking for an exceptional driving instructor.

Thank you Louisa
I passed my driving test on the first try thanks to my lessons with Louisa. As I was already a license holder from another country, Louisa helped me adapt to UK roads and rules (roundabouts, junctions). I am someone who appreciates structure and knowing plans in advance— without explicitly asking it of her, by the end of our 10 sessions together Louisa was sending over a recap of our sessions and a plan for what we will be covering next time, which was very much appreciated! I also at times struggled with the amount of information to process (multitasking while driving)— when I let Louisa know, she did her best to accommodate my needs in this. Over the course of our lessons together I gained confidence in my ability to drive safely on British roads. I am also grateful to Louisa for accommodating my very limited availability during the week. Thank you!
