Varney Driving School

James is an excellent driving instructor, adapting his teaching style to fit me and make me into a safe and confident driver. Cannot recommend enough!

Absolutley amazing driving Instructor! Can not recommend enough. Patient, calm and adapts to individual need. Thank you James.

I would highly recommend Varney Driving School. James is very supportive and patient and his teaching methods prepared me well for the test.

Would highly recommend. Varney was very helpful and patient with me especially when my anxiety got the better of me and help me to work through my nerves when driving.

I enjoyed my time with you and you helped me a lot. It was great value for money for a 2 hour lesson each week I thank you and I hope to see you soon.

A brilliant driving instructor. James knows how to get the best out of people who are learning to drive.

James gave me clear driving instruction. I had a regular two hour lesson once a week while I was in sixth form and then was able to continue with more flexible lessons through taking cancellations once I had gone away to university. Even after I had moved away I was able to get generally at least one and often several more lessons a week. We started near my house with the basics and then advanced to different roads around York. I felt consistently challenged but never pushed to do anything beyond my capabilities. In the run up to my test we also did lots of practise tests which I found particularly useful. James gave me resources to study for my theory test. Because of these I was able to study effectively and pass first time. James taught me very thoroughly and to a high standard valuing both safety and precision with driving. I also passed my driving test first time because of a combination of James' rigorous teaching and practise on my part.Moreexpand_more

A patient and insightful instructor, able to work sensitively with my anxiety around driving whilst also giving me the push I needed to become a confident and safe driver.

James was extremely supportive and restored my driving confidence as well as tailoring my lessons perfectly resulting in me passing on my first test with him, thoroughly recommend!

James was very helpful and engaging in his teaching style, I looked forward to my driving lessons with him. I passed first time and now feel comfortable while driving.

James has been a great instructor and helped improve my driving by making the lessons fun and engaging, with some challenging moments in between but over all he is a good driving instructor and would recommend for anyone wanting to learn to drive.

Great instructor with a great teaching method.

James is a very good teacher and made lessons fun and engaging. I passed in York first time after a very long break away due to moving cities and covid.

5/5 star isn't enough. James Varney is very professional and understanding. Made me feel very comfortable instantly. He worked around my extremely awkward schedule. While on lessons he utilises every minute of the 2hrs with knowledgeable infro/tip tricks makes your lesson feel like its over in 5 mins. I Would definitely recommend James varney as an instructor.

Having spent 2 years on and off with James, can safely say i’d recommend him to anyone. I started with no experience whatsoever in cars, and he had so much patience with me even if I did keep making the same mistakes over and over. I ended up passing 1st time, couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Excellent instructor. Didn’t believe I could pass a driving test before. 7 years of struggling with nerves have come to an end.

James was a great instructor, patient with me even when I kept making the same mistakes. Lessons were always fun and I would highly recommend to others.

James is a great and patient instructor, he always found a way to make me understand. Highly recommend.

I passed in such a short time with Varney Driving School. The instructor is likeable, patient, clear and every minute of the 2 hour time slot is packed with invaluable information and practice. Would highly recommend! Liam.

First time pass with only 2 driving faults! James has a really unique way of tailoring his teaching style which really helped me understand driving with him. He really created a layer of friendship between us which didn't make lessons feel like lessons at all.
