Prior to my experiences with Approved Driving School, I was a rather anxious, overcautious new driver on the roads. Even though I had (have) my lovely and effective mother as my primary mentor, I still needed that extra push to better myself a driver, and Mr. John Sweeney was the perfect choice.
When I first met him, his polite and calm disposition made me immediately believe he was the one to further consolidate skills I'd already practised and teach me new things, too. My intuition was proven correct. Throughout the lessons, I'd seen an almost astounding improvement in not only certain areas

The Approved Driving School lessons were very professional. John Sweeney is a patient and kind instructor who is very punctual and has clear communication. John elaborates on the good points of your driving whilst drawing attention to and explaining the details that need improving, in order to pass your driving test. By the end of our lessons I was fully confident with my driving and managed to pass first time, so I would definitely recommend the Approved Driving School.

John is a wonderful intructor - patient, professional, experienced. I am a late driver and had been afraid to be in control of a car. John settled my nerves and had me comfortably driving in no time. He had lots of tips and tricks that made driving and parking easy to learn. Using everything John taught me (and lots of practice) I passed my VORT on my first attempt and am now happily on the road. Could not recommend highly enough.

An absolutely outstanding instructor. John coaches and mentors you very patiently and calmly giving clear and direct instructions. I would recommend him in any situation whether you are starting off as a new driver or are already an experienced one. He is the best there is in the Adelaide market today! Without his training I would not have passed the VORT test.
