Despite passing my test 10+ years ago, I had never driven so needed some refresher lessons. I was very lucky to find John. He is an excellent instructor. Every session was personalised and completely met my needs. He is a clear and patient teacher and totally unflappable, no matter how dangerous a mistake you make! A wonderful instructor and a charming man. I would recommend him to all without hesitation. Maria G. (Worle)
John was recommended to me & I would be more than happy to endorse his skill as an instructor.
John was calm, patient & informative.
The feedback John gives is always clear & concise.
I have now completed the Pass Plus with John & truly thank him for being so supportive.

I had thirty hours with John and passed first time. John is an amazing teacher and he makes you feel comfortable from your first lesson. He is patient and very easy to get along with. I got recommended John by many people and would happily recommend him to anyone who is looking to learn to drive. Georgie R. (Weston-super-Mare)
From no previous experience behind the wheel, John has let me learn at my own speed with the two hour lessons. This led to me feeling relaxed behind the wheel and teaching me great techniques that have helped after I passed. When asked by friends who to go to in Weston for driving I say John hands down. Great time getting taught how to drive by him. Zach T. (Worle)
It has been a pleasure to drive under John''s tuition. I admire the patience and dedication he has shown to me. The feedback after every lesson, was constructive feedback. This allows for quicker improvement. John is very friendly and I personally recommend him to anyone, who is starting their lessons. Karl J. (Wick-St-Lawrence)
I would like to recommend John Bushell. I wasn’t a confident pupil and actually at times incredibly nervous. A previous experience knocked my confidence, but John helped build my confidence back up and with his patience he developed my ability to become a more confident driver and of course pass! I am actually sad my lessons are over and hope in the future to have some motorway lessons with him. I am extremely grateful for his support, encouragement and guidance. John has an approachable manner and very amicable, a true professional. Zoe C. (Worle)
I thoroughly enjoyed learning to drive with John. I found him down to earth, friendly and approachable. If I didn’t understand anything he was always happy to explain it again, which gave me confidence in what I was learning to do. John gave me a lot of praise when driving which helped to boost my confidence and improve my driving. Without the praise that I received, I don’t think I would have been able to pass my test first time. Overall, I think that John is a very good instructor and I would recommend him to anyone, as I was recommended to him when I first turned 17. I am glad that I choose to learn with John and I don’t think I would have been able to pass my test without his help. Alice W. (Weston-s-Mare)
If you are looking for a driving instructor with bags of experience, a brilliantly high pass rate and an instructor who is very friendly, outgoing and interactive then I would recommend John. Although the aim is to learn how to drive, John makes every lesson enjoyable. Whilst learning to drive, I used to look forward to my next lesson every week. I have heard of people who have had driving instructors who are boring, don’t interact and get a conversation going and, in worst case scenarios, bring the pupil to tears after lessons. John is the total opposite. Not only does he have your driving progress at best interest, he also has your well being at best interest. He understands the pressures young people go through such as exams, relationships and families. Every lesson John will make sure you are comfortable and relaxed. John is very outgoing. My first lesson with John, I was nervous and not really sure what to expect. John makes every lesson as fun as possible. The best thing about John is he understands what level of progress and achievement each individual pupil is at. At no time whatsoever did he push me beyond what I was capable of, but he always pushed me to drive to an even higher standard and made sure I understood what was being asked of. He knows exactly when a pupil is ready for their test and would never put a pupil in for a test without knowing that they have a very, very good chance of passing. If you learn to drive with John, you will never fail your test because of too many minors, as John is a very experienced and thorough instructor. Not only does John prepare you for the driving test, he prepares you for driving for the rest of your life! Alex M. (Worle)
John is an amazing instructor! He is patient and makes learning to drive enjoyable. I had fun on my lessons as well as learning a lot. I passed first time which was all thanks to John. I would definitely recommend him to anyone for lessons. Sam B. (Worle)
I’m so pleased that I took my lessons with John because he provides a relaxed atmosphere and makes you feel so calm. He is so patient and will instruct you at your own pace. He didn’t get frustrated when I made a mistake he just encouraged me even more. Ten out of Ten instructor. Thanks" Tyler G. (Worle)
Before I started learning to drive with John I had never driven a car before and so was very nervous. However, my first lesson went so well I continued to learn with John, passed my test first time and completed Pass Plus. From my very first lesson until my final Pass Plus lesson John was always friendly, supportive and encouraging. Although I felt nervous of other traffic at times, I never felt unsafe with John in the car. John was always professional, briefing and debriefing at the start and end to show progress and what the next step would be, whilst still managing to make each lesson more than pleasant. Overall learning to drive with John was an enjoyable experience and I learnt an important skill that I''ll use for life. Kim H. (Worle)
Even before my first driving lesson my mum had phoned up John and booked a lesson for my 17th Birthday, and she said ''what a lovely person he sounds''! From my first lesson John made me feel comfortable and quickly settled any nerves that i had. John approaches all his lessons with a kind professional manner. Most people stereotype driving instructors as old, boring and monotonous, but John is completely the opposite! You can have a laugh and a conversation with John, whilst at the same time, learning and improving driving skills with John''s friendly advice. In particular, the honest feedback given after every lesson, encourages improvement and confidence in your driving. John is open to any questions what so ever you have about driving and will answer to any concerns you may have. Your awareness, condfidence and skills on the road rapidly develop under John''s tuition. John ensures that all his students ENJOY their driving lessons in order to learn quickly and gain confidence. When the driving test looms, its natural to have nerves, doubts etc but I found that with John''s mock tests make the test seem less daunting and give''s you a sense of ''I can do this'' attitude! The respectful, polite manner of John''s tuition enables significant progress, enjoyment of lessons and above all how to drive safely. With John''s professionalism and honest advice I along many other students, passed my driving test first time but John emphasises the notion that your learning does not stop when you pass your test. With the pass plus John again, develops your skills considerably on challenging roads such as motorways, country lanes etc. I''d like to thank John for all his time, effort and professionalism in making me a safe, confident driver. With his expert advice and experience on the road, John is a dedicated driving instructor that will ensure enjoyment of lessons and progress of driving abilities to help you achieve a high, safe level of driving. Can''t thank you enough John, best wishes for the future. Ben P. (St. Georges, W-s-M)
I would like to recommend John as he is a brilliant instructor and has incredible driving experience. I was really nervous when I started driving but after the first few lessons John had made me feel relaxed in the car, and I enjoyed my lesson''s. From start to finish John never lost patience and always gave good advice on how I could improve. As soon as you get in the car John informs you on what you will be doing in the lesson, and at the end you get debriefed and told how you did which is an incredible help, also he will say what the next lesson will include briefly. I also completed Pass Plus which was a huge mind opener on all kinds of different driving, and John shares even more of his knowledge. Alex R. Worle
