“My husband had refresher lessons with Chris after a brain haemorrhage. I have to say Chris was brilliant. Very patient and understanding and explaining everything clearly. My husband John passed his driving assessment thanks to Chris. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone.”
John
“I started driving when I turned 17 and I was very nervous but now I have passed at 18. Chris helped me so much, he is an amazing person to drive with and I have learnt so much from him. I couldn’t have wished for a better person. Thank you Chris for everything.”

Louie
“I cannot praise Chris enough. He is very patient and calm and a brilliant teacher. I felt comfortable with him right from the start. I highly recommend CJR Driving School to anyone looking to start driving. Thanks Chris for all your help and support.”
Emily
“Chris has been fantastic in getting me to where I want to be. His approach to each lesson was tailored to my needs, making sure it was at the right pace I was comfortable with whilst still challenging myself.
After each lesson I received a detailed reflective log documenting what we covered with comments on good driving and also areas to improve. Completing the reflective logs really helped me consider where the level of my driving was, areas to be pleased above, things that needed more work and most importantly what did I personally want out of the next lesson.
I’m really pleased I went with CJR Driving School. I couldn’t ask for more in terms of being flexible to meet my needs, excellent feedback and great advice.”
Paul
“Chris has been a fantastic driving instructor and was very patient and understanding, especially when I was struggling with anxiety when driving. The reflective logs were very useful to see what you needed to work on, and the 1-5 rating gave me something to focus on in the next lesson. I can’t thank Chris enough for helping me get onto the roads, and for making each lesson enjoyable.”
Rebecca
“Chris is a brilliant driving instructor, very patient and good at explaining thigs. Chris’ feedback through the reflective logs is very good and allows you to see what you need to work on, and let’s you choose what to do the next lesson. With Chris I became a very confident driver and passed first time. I would recommend CJR Driving School to everybody.”
Ellie
“Chris is a wonderful instructor, after being a very nervous first driver to passing my test, Chris has been there every step of the way. You can always ask him questions if you are unsure and he will help you in any way he can. He is a lovely person and I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you so much Chris.”
Ellie
“Chris is an amazing driving instructor, also giving advice and guidance when ever I need it. He always makes me laugh and is a joy to be around, which helped with the nerves while driving. I couldn’t have done it without him, passing my test. The progress log helped a lot and it’s helpful to look back at them to see how you are progressing. Just want to say thank you Chris for everything.”
Sophie
“After stopping learning to drive at 17, I was so nervous to get back in a car and try again at the age of 21. I simply didn’t really want to do it. However, Chris has not only helped me build my confidence but actually made me enjoy driving.
As someone who is dyslexic I was so worried about trying to find an instructor who would be calm and patient with me while I take in new information. Chris has exactly these qualities! Never failing to go over things with me again and again, and always going at my pace.
He’s very quick to reassure and so easy to be around. There is no pressure from him in any aspect of driving, be it learning a new manoeuvre or questions on driving theory. Driving lessons quickly became a fun activity rather than an anxious one.
Thank you Chris! You have helped me immensely and I’m so grateful for all your support.”
Della
“Chris is an excellent driving instructor, very patient and relaxed and made me feel at ease all the time. Lessons were always class as I was able to progress at my own pace with constructive feedback which helped me become a much better driver. Overall Chris has given me so much confidence and it’s safe to say he is a really good driving instructor!!!”
Antony
“Nervous driver? This one’s for you. From the very start I was a very nervous driver, I used to be worried about driving on busy roads, going on roundabouts or even going into a 50mph zone. Chris is calm and patient and will make sure that you are comfortable with any situation and manoeuvres on the road. Over time I became more confident on the road and passed my practical recently. None of that would’ve been possible without Chris’ teachings and patient attitude. Thank you Chris keep up the good work!”
Jack
“Thank you so much Chris. Fantastic instructor, kind and patient. Passed my test first time with zero minors! Would recommend Chris to anyone.”
Charlie
“Long story short – if you want to pass and feel confident and happy in your ability to drive, go with CJR Driving School.
Due to breaks in between driving due to COVID, I thought I’d never pass my driving test. After changing instructors and then having 5 and a half months with Chris, here I am now with a pass certificate and the confidence and skills to drive independently and safely.
Chris will help you build up your skills and will always involve you in what you want to do in your next lesson. He also takes time to explain things and practice different areas and manoeuvres. Chris is also very punctual, flexible and reliable (I work shift work and he is very accommodating to this).
Thank you so much Chris and I’ll see you on the road!”
Bethany

“Chris my instructor was very professional and calm. He helps you to correct errors and improve your driving. I’m a very confident driver anyway, but I felt comfortable out on drives because Chris always keeps a conversation, so it isn’t awkward. He tells you when he thinks you’re ready for a test or your theory – I.E he asks you if you think you’re ready and doesn’t put any pressure on you at all. Highly recommend!”

“I’ve recently passed my driving test with only 3 minors and ready to take the next chapter of my life at speed! (Reasonably of course 😁).
A massive thank you to Chris at CJR for showing me the way. He’s an outstanding driving instructor with an in depth knowledge on what makes a student tick and bringing the best of them out on the road. I never imagined i would pass so quick and his understanding and care for his students are the modern day approach the future of drivers need. With Chris as a driving instructor, you can expect an honest and experienced review of your understanding and current capabilities. In which he will develop you to pass (and will be honest when you are ready, for even the most eager). So thank you again Chris and wouldn’t change who taught me for the world!”
