Joe was a fantastic driving instructor. I felt quite nervous about driving at first but Joe made me feel completely at ease very quickly. He knew when I was ready for my test (sooner than I expected myself). I passed the first time about three months after starting my lessons but it didn’t feel rushed at all – I just felt like I was making great progress each week with Joe. He was a very patient instructor, with lots of helpful driving tips and nice to have a chat with on lessons (an extra bonus!). Even though it was quite quick from start to the test, he has made me feel like a confident and safe driver through his instruction. I would highly recommend him as an instructor!

I started my lessons with uncle joes driving school and he was one of the best instructors I have had. He is calm and holds a lot of knowledge when it comes to road users. He is patient and definitely worth trying. Definitely recommend!

Meet Josh, referred to Uncle Joe by Jordan, Josh an experienced driver needs to brush his skills, it was more of getting rid of unsuitable and unsafe habits. Lessons were pacey, no messing about straight to the point and in no time Josh was keen to get to the West Didsbury Driving Test Centre on the 31st August 2019. Joshua went to pass his practical test. Congratulations once again. 

Hi Joe,

Congratulations on being shortlisted for the Intelligent Instructor Awards ‘Driving Instructor of the Year’ for the North East and North West! From thousands of instructors, you have been officially recognised as being one of the top 100 instructors within the UK! To help uncover the UK’s ‘Driving Instructor of the Year’, we asked tens of thousands of learners and those who have just passed their test, to nominate their instructor whom they felt were deserving of this accolade! We asked for evidence on communication skills, pupil engagement, innovative teaching techniques, customer satisfaction and the importance of road safety within the lessons.

Uncle Joe is an amazing instructor. He’s calm, laid back and understanding. I can’t thank him enough.🐶

The best driving school! I just passed first time with uncle Joe, he’s an amazing teacher who’s very patient and friendly. Thank you, Uncle Joe!!

Joe believed that I could pass my test 3 weeks earlier than I had booked and he was right! He makes the driving process incredibly simple with easy-to-use reference points and is a pleasure to be around (possibly the best laugh of anyone I’ve heard). Regardless, book a lesson with Joe and you won’t regret it: charisma, calm and character. All you need for an instructor.

Joe was a really good instructor. He helped prepare me for my test well and I felt ready on the day. When learning Joe was patient and taught me well. He also helped me improve on my weaknesses. Happy to pass the first time

What a guy! Great instructor! Don’t go anywhere else! Thanks for everything uncle Joe!

Uncle Joe was an excellent instructor! He’s very patient and knew exactly how to correct my little faults. I managed to pass my test first time and with 0 fault and that’s all thanks to Joe who prepared me for it perfectly. Thanks again!

Joe is a fantastic driving instructor who I would undoubtedly recommend. He is a calm and collected individual that aims to pass on his knowledge and make you a safe driver for life. From my first lesson, he made me feel comfortable and relaxed behind the wheel so that I could get the most out of my two-hour lesson. There has not been a lesson where he did not make me laugh and this made for a fun learning environment. He uses innovative teaching through his use of his iPad and always makes you reflect after every lesson so that you can keep improving on your weaknesses. I will certainly be taking him for my PassPlus certificate! Thank you, Joe!

I have had three instructors prior to taking driving lessons with Joe and Joe has by far been the best. His lessons are well structured and the use of reviews at the end of the lessons makes it easy to identify where you need to improve so that you go into the next lesson with a clear goal. The atmosphere is always calm and encouraging and he always makes sure not just to explain what you need to do but also why you need to do it so that you fully understand how to drive safely. I’d recommend Joe to anyone!

If you’re still trying to make your mind for which driving school to go for – look no further! Joe runs his driving company on his own, meaning that he personally takes care of each and every student and installs an intimate and friendly mentorship. The learning experience can be a nightmare if not with the right instructor, however, Joe is trusting, caring and very funny – making the whole journey an absolute pleasure. I went from being scared of driving a couple of months back, to 100% confident. I wouldn’t have had any other way, choosing Joe was the best option. Thanks again for everything.

Super happy to pass first time this week! Huge thanks to Uncle Joe for seeing me through! Joe is a brilliant instructor, he seems to have great intuition for what you as a student need at that time then knows exactly how to help. He radiates calm which really helps take the fear out of driving, and will have you laughing every lesson! His explanations are clear and simple and stick with you. Also has the best systems for smashing out manoeuvres. Joe really builds you up and makes the journey of learning to drive a pleasure – would recommend to anyone! ☺️

Very thankful to Uncle Joe! He has supported me and believed in me and in my driving from the beginning, he is so patient and an encourager when things don’t go quite to plan! Passed with 3 minors and it’s all down to Uncle Joe! Couldn’t rate him more highly!!!

Joe is an excellent driving instructor, he is calm, gives clear instructions, constructive feedback and has known all the test routes. I enjoyed learning with him and would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Great fun and really informative. Knows East Didsbury test routes inside out. Really patient and informative

A very patient instructor, helped me so much to calm my nerves which is a very hard task for any teacher/tutor/instructor I have had. I am so pleased I passed after not that much time. Thank you for your help!

Meet an outgoing young man called Jordan. Imagine you pass your test with no driver’s fault. That’s exactly what happened to Jordan, Jordan called up Uncle Joe on Thursday had a lesson on Friday and Saturday and on Monday 20th May 2019 pulled up on at the West Didsbury Driving Test going on to pass his test with Zero Fault. Clean sheet another name for it! Congratulations once again Jordan, I could not be any less proud of you. Well done to you!

I passed my automatic licence with uncle Joe 4 years ago, decided to upgrade for manual licence and of course, I went back to uncle Joe and just after 5 lessons I passed the first time. Couldn’t recommend him enough.
