Go Puffin Driving School

recent success

Dan Jennings Limerstone “After begining with a near crippling fear of driving, Jon quickly helped me get over this fear and come to love it. I ended up passing in both good time and money thanks to his amazing friendliness and wizard like teacher skills. I would not just recommend Go Puffin Driving School but insist."
Kayleigh Eggleton Freshwater “Well well well, all that money and hard work definately paid off in the end! Thats my money, and Jon's extra hard work by the way!! Learning with Go Puffin Driving School has been a brilliant experience. Jon is really thourough, friendly and understanding, and always knows how best to react to a situation (for example, when presented with a tearful and severely frustrated 17yr old female). He is kind and has the absolute patience of a saint!! I've loved every moment (nearly!) and am glad I chose Go Puffin. Thankyou so much Jon, you've been awesome; from Me and ‘Pedro’!”
Michael Sutcliffe Brighstone That was a great drive Mike, enjoy the motoring.

Brendan Toms Freshwater “I really enjoyed learning with Go Puffin, I always looked forward to my lessons. There was always a really friendly atmosphere even from the first lesson. I am so glad to have finally passed, and am really happy it was Jon who helped me do it. I would recommend him to anyone that is learning to drive.”
James Bridge Carisbrooke “Most of my mates learned to drive with Jon so I decided to take driving lessons with him. I never felt pressured into getting something right first time as he seemingly has the patience of a saint (he needed to with me) and would always show me something time and time again until I finally understood it, it could of been twice, five times or even a hundred times. Jon really did teach me at my own pace. I passed both my theory and practical tests first time, I would honestly recommend Go Puffin to anyone!!! Thanks for all your help Jon, I'm sure I will see you about when i'm driving my Defender :P”
Oakley Satchell Carisbrooke High School “Finally managed to take my test after examiners arms had fixed and the weather had calmed down and thanks to Jon i passed. Jon's really friendly and easy to work with, he won't con you into more lessons than you need, he'll just make sure he's confident in your ability to pass. I'd use Go Puffin any day.”

Chris Shurmer Carisbrooke High School “I was looking forward to starting to drive, and Jon was the perfect man to teach me how. Jon is honest which helps a lot when trying to set realistic targets and with his excellent lessons he managed to break my bad driving habits and make me into a confident, competent driver. As well as the speedy road to success I also had a lot of fun with Jon as he is easy to talk to and has a great sense of humour. Thanks Jon!”
Alex Hoather Carisbrooke High School “Learning with Jon has been fantastic experience. He has developed habits and skills with me beyond test standard that will hopefully mean 'Safe driving for life'. Even when I felt despair he kept me positive, determined and focussed. Eventually it paid off! I would recommend Jon to anybody who is looking for an experienced and professional driving instructor that is also very easy to get on with. Cheers Jon and all the best!”
Frank Bagnall Cowes “Having failed 3 times in the past, and never really getting on with my instructors, or learning from them, I searched google and found ‘Go Puffin’ and was attracted to this school through the ‘recent success comments’. Jon helped me get to grips with the manoeuvres, by using simple techniques and guidelines, which work very well! I really enjoyed driving with Jon not only learning from him, but also socially. Jon is 'down-to-earth' and you can really have a laugh whilst driving with him. Cheers for the help Jon!”
Tom Marsland Totland 2 driver faults, great drive Tom!

As well as being a excellent driving instructor he is also a good bloke to have a laugh with as well. I would strongly recommend Jon to anyone who is learning to drive.”
Soraya Allen Totland Bay “PASSED FIRST TIME! The thought of learning to drive at first is daunting, but having Jon as a teacher took all that away and pretty soon I became confident on the roads. I have really enjoyed the fun and friendly lessons. Thanks so much Jon, I'll definitely always recommend Go Puffin Driving School!”
Jason Nobbs Carisbrooke “It seemed like I was never going to pass my test, but then Jon was recommended to me and his lessons gave me the confidence to know that I could get through the test without loosing the plot! Jon’s friendly and calm approach is one that I would recommend to anyone! Thanks for getting me through it, Cheers!”
Nicholas Drake Cowes “Jon was excellent in giving me a combination of his own experience and applying it to my driving. Everything is personal and is great to have lessons and chat too. Several of my friends had previously passed with Go Puffin which was great assurance for my start to success”
Dan Heath Freshwater “Cheers Jon for your patience and guidance and helping me to pass first time. Jon’s an awesome instructor and I would recommend Go Puffin to anyone. Thanks again.”
James Lucas Totland Bay “As a person of a slightly older disposition and someone who had a natural attraction to failure, it was a great relief to meet Jon when I did. I actually saw Jon on one of my unsuccessful tests. Jon, the bear of a man that he is, took me under his ample wing and showed me many extremely useful and practical techniques and before I knew it I was standing in front of his car pulling a big cheesy grin and throwing a peace sign. A big thank you to the man who goes by the minimalistic moniker of Jon. Thanks for helping this old duffer finally pass his test. Cheers mate.”
Siobhan Newman Carisbrooke High School “Thanks to the boundless patience of Jon I managed to pass my test. The lessons have a relaxed atmosphere which allows you to build up confidence quickly and learn at the right pace. So thank you Jon for getting me here, I really can't thank you enough!”
