Uncle Joe is a great driving teacher

Uncle Joe is a great teacher and a truly and honest kind person. He taught both my sons to drive. They both passed their theory and practical tests first time.

I would recommend him without any hesitation.

Passed 4 weeks early!! - Great Instructor

Enjoyed having Joe as a driving instructor. I found Joe to be very flexible with times which was much needed on my part. I learnt much quicker than I had expected, meaning we were able to move the test date forward by 4 weeks and I passed today!!. Joe is a very good instructor and will make sure you pass your test. Highly recommend!

A genuinely life-changing instructor

Like many non-drivers around my age (39), I often used to tell people that I’d never got round to learning because I’d always lived in city centres. But that was only half the truth. The other half was that I’d always believed that, as the kind of klutz who can’t even wire a plug or fix a faucet, I would seriously struggle behind the wheel.

I feel like there aren’t that many instructors out there that truly understand this. But Joe does. He gets it. And that is very, very valuable.

And why I passed first time with him.

5 star

I passed the test today with only one minor fault. This was my first attempt, and it would have been my last if I didn't pass, as tomorrow is the expiration date of my theory test. Why did I take the road test so late? Because I almost gave up completely—I am a very nervous driver. How nervous? I panic when I turn right, I panic when it rains, I panic when I need to change lanes, and I panic when the speed exceeds 40. In fact, I panic all the time.

Joe helped me immensely in building my confidence and calming my nerves. He is professional, calm, steady, and authoritative. I really appreciated his instruction and support. I never even dreamed that I could drive so smoothly in the UK.

5* Instructor

Joe is an excellent instructor. I couldn’t have asked for anybody better. Joe brings a very calm and reassuring presence. Coupled with his expert instruction, learning with Joe makes for a pleasant experience.

Huge thank you Joe for helping me to pass my test first time!

Joe is so friendly and very accommodating and was even happy to have my child sit in the car during lessons which helped me out massively. Joe had a calmness about him that was able to put my anxiety at ease and his belief in me that I was capable of passing my test really helped me to have confidence in myself also. Lessons were always very thorough and I was always able to get the most out of every lesson. Highly recommended!

Excellent Instructor

Joe is highly patient and not afraid to let students progress quickly. I have had many driving schools in the past, but Joe is by far the best instructor. You are highly recommended to learn driving with Uncle Joe's Driving School.

Highly recommended

Highly recommended, after some bad experiences with previous instructors I had almost given up on driving altogether. Then I came across uncle joe and thought I'll give him a try, I'm so glad I did because he helped me get over my anxiety with driving! He was very patient with me and gave me everything I need to know in order to pass my driving test.

Passed with uncle Joe a few years ago and he popped up on my feed which has made me feel I need to leave this review as I am so grateful to this day that Joe helped me pass. I use many of the things he taught me which I watch others on the roads fail to do and might not even be driving today if it wasn’t for going with Joe. Thanks again Joe you helped change my life :)
