Amazing instructorJason has been an amazing instructor with me over the last couple of months. He is very patient and will explain things multiple times if you don’t understand. He has a very funny personality and makes you feel at ease and doesn’t rush you. I passed my test with him first time.

Passed first time with JasonCouldn’t recommend Jason more. Passed first time after only a few lessons. He makes you feel very calm & comfortable even when you do get overwhelmed. He explains things very clearly & gives you time to amend yourself to get it correct. I’m so surprised at how confident I’ve become driving as I was so nervous before & I completely put that down to his help. A massive thank you to Jason!

Amazing instructorI can’t say enough good things about my instructor Jason at 1st Stop. He was extremely professional while making me feel so at ease the whole time. He gave me so many tips on manoeuvring and overall common mistakes to be aware of that were so helpful. I can honestly say he prepared me 100% for my exam. So grateful!
