Written on: 16/07/2012 by Marode7

I have had a number of driving instructor before but [name removed] was miles better, she knew what she was doing and her techniques really worked. She was a bit strict but understanding at the same time. I learned a lot more in her intensive one month lesson than I have with all the other previous driving instructors combined. I was so pleased with the service that I actually recommended her to some of my friends. (read more)

Written on: 11/07/2012

When I first went to Kan Kan I was very nervous about starting to learn to drive but was instantly made to feel at ease. They put me in contact with a driving instructor called Wendy and she is the best driving instructor you could ever ask for!! She was friendly from the word go and explained everything in perfect detail. If there was something I was unsure about, I'd feel comfortable asking and she'd give me an honest and truthful answer. I really liked how there was no sense of urgency... (read more)

I would recommend kan kan driving school to any female learning to drive, I was really nervous at first but when I met my instructor she made me feel confident. I have learnt so much already and only on my fourth lesson. I think it's good that you can choose how many hours you want in a lesson & you can choose what time and day you want the lesson.

I was forced to give one star, as I would have preferred to give none!! I hope people are doing reviews on these companies before they take lessons with them!!!! They refuse to give you back your money and their tutors are absolute rubbish. They drag lessons on and discourage you from taking your test even after months of lessons. Took the test behind their back and passed it! Bunch of cheats!  (read more)
