Couldn't recommend Julian barker enough! I went to him after having a bad experience with somebody else and he put me at ease straight away and built my confidence back each lesson. Brilliant teacher.

Julian is a fabulous driving instructor! He made me feel really at ease, and answered all of my questions or concerns. Julian is thorough and makes sure you are safe and confident in all areas of driving, and has good knowledge of test routes etc. Julian was always flexible with my lessons and on time. I’m a nervous driver and wear hearing aids, Julian is very understanding and accommodating so brilliant for people who may be nervous about driving lessons for whatever reason. I have failed 3 driving tests (with other instructors) but passed first time with Julian! 1000% recommend Julian to anyone looking for automatic driving lessons.

Can honestly say Julian Barker was an amazing driving instructor!! He was patient and kind and made me feel much more confident while I was in the drivers seat! Just passed my test earlier today and all I can say is thank you to him as he is hands down a great driving instructor and I owe it to him as the reason I passed today! I’ve already recommended him to a few of my friends as I know they’d be in great hands with Julian!

Highly recommended professional driving instructor! Julian Barker is an amazing instructor, no wonder why my friends recommended him as a driving instructor. It's my first time driving in UK and I had 0 confidence driving here since it's way too different comparing driving back home where it was right hand traffic. He made points for every lesson that needs to be tackled and provides feedback at the end that would build your confidence and improve your driving skills gradually until you are ready to take the exam. Always on time, and he focuses what needs to be done. Thank you so much Julian for time and patience you've given me, wouldn't accomplish this without you. I will surely remember all the tips and points you taught me.

After previously trying to learn manual I decided to learn automatic as I was an extremely nervous driver with zero confidence. Whilst before I had struggled to sleep at the thought of a lesson, Julian made the lessons as easy as possible. He never pushed me too hard out of my comfort zone and was always building up my confidence. He really went out of his way for me and was always reliable. I will miss our lessons but so grateful to him for helping me pass FIRST TIME.

Julian is a brilliant & professional driving instructor who I highly recommend. Julian was always on time and no phones / do other private things during the lesson. Because of his previous teaching experience, he is very patient for all my stupid moments and always use different methods to make me understand how to drive. I'm lucky that had him as he is such a good driving instructor. Really super huge thanks for Julian and highly recommend him to others.
