2nd2None Driving School

I had Jim as my driving instructor, and can't thank him enough. Very professional but also good fun, always made me feel at ease and confident with my driving. I passed first time, and am very happy with how he has prepared me for driving on my own. Brilliant instructor, would recommend to anyone, thank you Jim!

Passed first time with Jim and I can’t recommend him enough. I really like his teaching style - there is a lesson plan each week which makes everything organised and ensures good progress is made overtime. Even though I was quite nervous, I always felt really safe and comfortable with Jim who quickly built up my confidence. He is such a great teacher, funny and patient .Thank you so much!

Passed my test today first time and I couldn't be more thrilled. Jim is an AMAZING instructor, especially if you're a nervous person. He put me at ease and made driving feel enjoyable. For anyone learning to drive you honestly couldn't do better than Jim. Thank you so much to him and 2nd to None! :-)

Passed my test first time in Exeter thanks to Jim!I was really anxious about starting my driving lessons, but Jim is always very calm and laid back (and funny!) and will always put you at ease even if you're very nervous. He's very good at breaking everything down so that it's easy to understand what you need to do and how, and over time you build up good habits and the confidence to drive.Always professional and an amazing instructor, made learning a really fun and positive experience, can't recommend him enough! Will miss our lessons together, thank you, Jim!

Jim is an amazing driving instructor and helped me pass first time in Exeter. He has a fantastic course that not only teaches you how to pass your test but how to be a good driver and I can’t thank him enough!

I couldn’t recommend Jim more. He is extremely patient, explains things really well and makes you feel completely at ease. He covers each aspect of the driving course thoroughly and only moves when you are 100% comfortable with what you have just learnt. Despite my lack of confidence he was very supportive of my driving throughout and thanks to him I passed first time!

I passed my driving test first time with Jim, having had two instructors previously and I could not have done it without him. He eliminated all my bad driving habits and went through every single detail thoroughly which was incredibly helpful. I never felt under pressure and he made me feel at ease when driving which made a huge difference. I couldn’t recommend him enough.

TLDR: Despite being extremely anxious about learning to drive, I found Jim from 2nd2None an amazing instructor and I really can't recommend him enough. I've just passed my test after 30 hours of lessons with Jim, now feeling fully confident in my ability to drive on my own.Full Review: Before starting with Jim from 2nd2None, I was extremely apprehensive about learning to drive. I'd had some lessons with several instructors before and didn't ever really enjoy the experience. Partially due to anxiety about driving, I used to try and come up with last-minute excuses to cancel lessons so that I wouldn't have to do them.Fortunately, this wasn't the case when learning with Jim. Jim made every lesson enjoyable - partially due to his personality and always being in good humour, as well as through the supportive, but challenging lesson structure he guides you through. Jim wants you to pass as soon as possible, whilst also making sure you are fully prepared for your test - at no point did I ever feel like I was being 'held back' for the sake of having to do more lessons, which I had heard about from friends regarding their own instructors. The lessons offered extremely good variety in terms of routes we drove, often straying beyond Exeter's normal 'test routes' for the sake of an extra challenge, to build further confidence.Having had 7 (pretty terrible) hours of lessons before signing up with 2nd2None, Jim got me through my test (a first time pass) in 30 hours of lessons. Realistically, had I not been so anxious about it, I probably could have passed sooner - I just wanted the extra hours behind the wheel with Jim to settle my nerves. From September, my girlfriend will be learning to drive, which she is also quite apprehensive about. Having experienced how great Jim was for building up my confidence and enjoyment in driving, I will be 100% sending her to learn at 2nd2None.Overall, I can't recommend Jim from 2nd2None enough. He's a quality instructor and a top bloke. I'm just a little bit sad that I don't get to sit in a car with him for two hours a week to chat, whilst we whip around the busy roads of Exeter, having now passed my test.

Jim is a great instructor, he helped me develop and improve my skills ready for my test. Every lesson I came away more confident and a more well rounded driver. Jim is an instructor that I would highly recommend to anybody wanting to learn to drive.
