I think lessons are now £20.
John is an excellent instructor too. He taught my son.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/46611#msg-46611 Mon, 20 Feb 2006 16:26:13 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/46529#msg-46529 forum@london-se1.co.uk (gaffer) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/46529#msg-46529 Sun, 19 Feb 2006 10:16:32 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/46504#msg-46504 forum@london-se1.co.uk (BlueGirlSE1)
Thats great news! Two of my friends have transferred to Sandra and now my sister is beginning to learn to drive!

I'm pleased that I may have helped - but it is the hard work from Sandra that makes a difference, as she is not just in it for the money - like so many other driving instructors!

Well done!]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/46504#msg-46504 Fri, 17 Feb 2006 20:49:18 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/46502#msg-46502 forum@london-se1.co.uk (The Lady Miss Jo Jo)
I did this as compared with other instructors (not just Patrick - and I have many stories of driving lessons) I thought (knew) that the lessons were well worth the bus ride to bermondsey station.

Also a cousin of mine and a friend of mine both passed with Roberts instructors!

I have also had lessons with AA and they are good (however initially I was given a guy who pulled me over so he could talk to his mate for mins during the lesson) and just use common sense and advice from others to decide whether that person is right one to teach you.

One thing about learning to drive, it is expensive so ensure that you get as much as possible out of the lessons as possible and it is essential that you find the right one to teach you!!![/quote]

My sister (Annie2004) changed from Patrick to Sandra a few weeks after this post was made and thought she was fantastic - and the proof was in the pudding as she passed her test following her lessons with Sandra.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/46502#msg-46502 Fri, 17 Feb 2006 20:07:42 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/38192#msg-38192 forum@london-se1.co.uk (teaandcakes)

It should not be the case of on the 15th driving lesson and driving the same backstreets that you have been to many times before.

A friend of mine (also a SE1 resident) was also taking lessons with "Patrick" and had MANY problems with him (like myself) EG waiting (during a lesson) outside a shop for 10 mins or on a street (during one of my lessons) for 20 mins with the claim that he had to see a pupil - obviously not used to telephone communication - then on return claimed that he was stuck in a lift.

I am not saying all of this to undermine Annie2004, but driving lessons do not come cheap (nor does living in zone 1) so I would really urge people to be cautious of driving lessons and remember that you are the student.

Yes... Key would take you on lessons, however experience does not always count! (As Only the DAY BEFORE my test with Patrick did he take me on roundabouts and Yes I FAILED!

Be careful not to waste money and time!!!

PS I have now passed and my instructor had only 18months experience but she was GREAT....sorry about long moan!]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/32355#msg-32355 Mon, 28 Feb 2005 21:48:49 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/32290#msg-32290 forum@london-se1.co.uk (tomwaterloo) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/32290#msg-32290 Mon, 28 Feb 2005 12:19:56 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/32288#msg-32288 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Annie2004) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/32288#msg-32288 Mon, 28 Feb 2005 12:02:34 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/32286#msg-32286 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Sal) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/32286#msg-32286 Mon, 28 Feb 2005 11:21:12 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/32284/32284#msg-32284 forum@london-se1.co.uk (tomwaterloo)
I'm looking for driving lessons in Waterloo and coming up against a brick wall with yell.co.uk.... BSM can't do any until end of March. Can anyone recommend a good private guy (or gal)?

Thanks,
