What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Learner drivers around Bridge of Don consistently describe the calm, patient and well-structured tuition that characterises lessons with Jan. A theme running through the feedback is success at the practical test on a first try, frequently with just one or two minor faults, which pupils attribute to clear and thorough explanation. Many accounts single out how each session is shaped around the individual, with Jan checking what the learner wants to work on and then reviewing progress and setting goals for the next outing.

Nervous beginners and those starting later in life are said to be put at ease quickly, gaining confidence behind the wheel within a few lessons. Reviewers also value the willingness to fit in additional sessions close to test day and to adapt scheduling when needed. Encouragement and support recur throughout, with mistakes treated as part of learning rather than a source of stress. The overall impression is of preparation that feels thorough and of learners who finish feeling ready. This is echoed in the steady praise for Jan's teaching and the sense of achievement reported on passing.

The best instructor you could have! Jan has been the most supportive and positive instructor - giving me encouragement throughout the whole journey until the very end! I passed for the first time with 1 minor only, all thanks to him. ☺️🌟 Learning to drive can be a steep learning curve, and Jan has a clear-cut and very effective teaching style. I always finished lessons feeling as if I’ve learnt something new, understood any mistakes clearly and practiced as much as possible within the lesson to correct them. He has a practical approach and breaks things down such as complex roundabouts into easy steps - the very example of a fantastic teacher! I can honestly say I learnt so much in each lesson, and always finished a lesson feeling like I was progressing and improving my driving. He has a very positive, genuine attitude and has always been calm and patient. ☺️ Finally, he is genuinely motivated for getting his students up to test standard at a good pace! I’d highly recommend Jan as their instructor to all my friends and family. Thank you for all your teaching and support Jan, I’m grateful to have found an instructor like yourself! ☺️🤍

I would highly recommend Jan as a driving instructor to anyone who is learning to drive, he explains things clearly and thoroughly. I passed my test today - 1st time, and I would not have done this without Jan's lessons and encouragement . Thank you Jan for everything.

Jan is an absolutely outstanding driving instructor. I passed my test on the first attempt with only 2 minors, and it would not have been possible without his calm teaching style, patience, and clear guidance. He explains everything in a simple, confidence‑building way and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. Every lesson felt structured, safe, and encouraging. I’m truly grateful for his support and highly recommend Jan’s Automatic Driving School to anyone learning in Aberdeen.

Absolutely amazing instructor would definitely recommend him to anyone that’s learning. I was so nervous and after my first lesson he put me at ease completely and gave me so much confidence. He was always patient with me even though I could be a pain!! Even though I passed my test first time I was also gutted because I wouldn’t get to see him every week. So please if you are looking to learn to drive I 1000% recommend Jan you will not be disappointed

I cannot recommend Jan highly enough! As a 39-year-old man, I was a bit nervous about starting my driving journey later in life, but Jan made the entire process seamless. Thanks to his patience, expertise, and excellent teaching style, I passed my driving test today on the very first attempt! Thank you Jan for this life changing achievement.

Thanks to my Jan, I passed my driving test first time with only two minors! His teaching style is calm, clear, and boosted my confidence behind the wheel. They were always patient and explained everything in a way that made sense. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor—highly recommend
