Chloe Trew- Passed 22.03.2025
I can’t thank Joseph enough for helping me pass my driving test! From the very beginning, he was patient, supportive, and understanding, especially as I struggled with nerves and anxiety. His calm and encouraging approach really boosted my confidence and made me feel at ease behind the wheel.
Every lesson was well-structured and tailored to my needs, and Joseph always explained things clearly without ever making me feel rushed or pressured. He believed in me even when I doubted myself, and that made all the difference.
Thanks to his guidance, I not only passed my test but also feel like a safe and confident driver. I would highly recommend Joseph to anyone learning to drive—especially if you’re feeling nervous. An absolutely brilliant instructor!

I passed my test because of Joe. He's understanding, patient and is the perfect instructor for anyone learning to drive. He explains well and uses all his expertise in a manner that befits his personality. I passed my test on the first attempt in 2014, and I'm still thankful to Joe. Abdul
Bobby Runham - 2024
My name is Bobby. I passed in October of 2024. I had previously had a different driving instructor, whom I really struggled with. Once switching, I really felt at ease and started improving a lot quicker. I am also very happy to say I passed on my first attempt of my driving test, all thanks to Joe.

Klain Fernando - Passed: 13/06/19
My experience at Joe’s Driving School was truly amazing! From my very first lesson, Joe made me feel calm, comfortable and confident behind the wheel. His attention to detail really benefitted me on a personal level as a driver, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for more during my lessons.
I felt well supported, never rushed or pressured due to his friendly manner. He is an experienced teacher, as his lessons were well structured, which allowed me to feel that I was progressing as a driver. On the day of the driving test itself, he was extremely supportive and helped to ease any nerves that I had.
He has allowed me to become a competent driver for many years now, and I myself have recommended him to my friends, who both passed the first time under his supervision. I would like to thank him for his dedication to my driving lessons, and I highly recommend these lessons to anyone looking to obtain their driving license!

I passed my driving test in November 2023, and I couldn’t have done it without the help of my amazing instructor! He was incredibly patient, kind, and always made me feel comfortable and supported during lessons.
He explained things clearly and took the time to make sure I fully understood everything, no matter how many questions I had. His calm and positive approach really helped build my confidence on the road.

He shared so many useful tips and tricks that made both learning to drive and taking the test feel much less stressful. I’m so grateful for all his support and would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a great instructor.

His lessons are really efficient and well structured, which made progress feel steady and clear. Thanks to his guidance, I gained confidence quickly and felt well prepared for my test.
Nathan Killilea, February 2025
Joe was one of the most amazing human beings I have ever encountered. Not only a driving instructor, but also now a friend of mine. When I began driving with Joe,
I was incredibly hesitant and nervous constantly when coming up to a junction and various obstacles in the road; however, with Joe by my side, he made the process so much easier, talking me through it step by step, and before I knew it, I could easily complete manoeuvres by myself confidently.
Joe is incredibly supportive and caring, and with me and him having very similar interests in our own personal lives, he made driving very relaxing, but he knew exactly what times to have a normal conversation with me and when to carefully instruct me through my driving. If you’re looking for someone who is a very caring and down-to-earth human being. Pick Joe.
Lucy Bois - 2023
I’m Lucy, and I passed the first time in October 2023, and honestly, I couldn’t ask for a better instructor! Joe truly makes you feel so confident and relaxed, and I learnt everything I needed so quickly. He’s not just an instructor but also becomes your friend, and I couldn’t recommend someone more!
Senith, Passed in 2021.
Joe is a friendly, relaxed instructor who quickly makes you feel comfortable behind the wheel. He is very knowledgeable about the roads we drive on as well as local test routes, which makes the whole experience a lot less daunting. He is extremely supportive in the early lessons and very understanding if mistakes are made, but also ready to hand over some independence once you gain more confidence. A great instructor, would definitely recommend! - Senith, passed in 2021.
Donald Devinda - 6th March 2025.
I had a great experience learning with Joseph. He guided me correctly every step of the way and always made me feel safe and relaxed during lessons. His support throughout the whole process was incredible, and I truly appreciate his patience and clear instructions. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to build confidence behind the wheel and successfully complete my driving exam.
Highly recommend Joseph to anyone looking for a professional, supportive, and reliable instructor.
Ebin - 21st Nov 2025.
Hi, I’m Ebin. I took driving lessons in London and failed 3 times. Later on, I got a test date in Colchester for 21/11/2025. That’s how I met Joseph, this instructor. After I asked him for 2 days of class(2 x 2hours), and in this short time, he understood my problems, and he taught me more than the lessons I took in London. And I 100% recommend this guy because I passed the test, and it's because of his class!
Praveen - 2022

Sidath - 2019
Joe is patient, thorough and methodical with his teaching, and to top things off, his prices are competitive. It was a pleasure to be under the tutelage of Joe’s Driving School!
Joseph, 2025
Joe helped me a lot and made sure that I was ready for my test. He sacrificed a lot of time for me and put up with my driving at its worst, and never gave up. He helped me a lot on the day of my test, reassuring me and guiding me right to the end of everything. I am very grateful for his service, and I recommend it to anyone in the future.
