    Friendly and Approachable – Your Journey Begins with Comfort

    From your very first lesson, John’s friendly personality and calm approach help to ease your nerves. Learning to drive can feel intimidating, especially in busy towns like Blackburn, Darwen, or Preston, but with John’s warm guidance, every student feels welcomed and supported.

    He creates a space where mistakes are part of the learning process—not something to fear. His students often say that driving with John feels more like learning from a trusted friend than a formal instructor. This emotional connection builds confidence quickly, setting the foundation for a safe and relaxed driving experience.

    Highly Experienced and Professionally Trained

    With years of experience on the road and in the driver’s seat as an instructor, Automatic John has taught hundreds of learners to pass with confidence. But his real strength lies in tailoring every lesson to the unique needs of the student.

    Whether you’re a complete beginner, a nervous driver, or someone returning to lessons after a break, John’s vast experience helps you progress at your own pace. He knows when to challenge you and when to go over the basics again—always with patience and professionalism.

    John is DVSA-registered, meaning he holds full qualification as a driving instructor in the UK. This certification ensures not just legal standards, but also the highest levels of driving safety, instruction quality, and learner care.

    Quality Training That Builds Confident Drivers

    At Acorn School of Motoring, we don’t believe in just “teaching to pass the test.” Our approach, led by instructors like John, is about building lifelong skills and road confidence. Every lesson includes practical, real-world instruction:

    • Local route training in towns like Blackburn, Accrington, and Preston
    • Practice in all traffic and weather conditions
    • Focus on hazard perception, defensive driving, and test routes
    • Preparation for both the theory and practical exams

    John doesn’t just prepare you for the test day—he prepares you for life behind the wheel.

    Affordable, Fair, and Transparent Pricing

    Driving lessons can be expensive, but at Acorn, we believe quality instruction should be accessible. That’s why we’ve created affordable lesson packages without cutting corners on value.

    Choosing Automatic John means getting expert instruction at a price that fits your budget. No hidden fees, no rushed lessons—just honest pricing and honest instruction.

    Professionalism with a Personal Touch

    John brings a rare balance to his work—he’s professional, reliable, and always on time, yet he also knows how to create a relaxed atmosphere. He communicates clearly, listens carefully, and celebrates every milestone with his students.

    His car is always clean, modern, and equipped with dual controls, ensuring your safety and comfort from the first moment. More importantly, his commitment to each learner is personal. You’re not just a booking in his diary—you’re a future driver, and he treats your progress with the respect it deserves.

    What Sets John Apart from Other Driving Instructors?

    You may have looked at big national brands like AA or RED. While those schools have recognition, what they often lack is local care and personal commitment. With Automatic John and Acorn School of Motoring, you get:

    • Consistent instruction from start to finish
    • In-depth knowledge of local test routes
    • Supportive guidance, especially for anxious or nervous learners
    • Flexible scheduling and no lesson time wasted

    John’s students often refer to him as “the best driving instructor in Blackburn”—and they mean it. With dozens of glowing reviews and word-of-mouth referrals, John’s reputation speaks for itself.

    Emotional Confidence—More Than Just Passing the Test

    Driving is a major life milestone, and John understands the emotions involved: the excitement, the nerves, the fear of stalling, or making a mistake. That’s why he’s focused on more than just technique. He helps learners build emotional resilience, so when the test day comes, they’re not just ready—they’re calm, in control, and confident.

    Many learners say, “I wouldn’t have passed without John.” That’s because he invests his time and energy into helping you believe in yourself. He knows that your first car ride alone isn’t just about driving—it’s about freedom, independence, and pride.

    DVSA-Registered for Peace of Mind

    With so many instructors to choose from, qualifications matter. John is a DVSA-approved driving instructor, meeting all UK requirements for safety, experience, and legal compliance. This isn’t just a title—it means you’re learning with someone held to the highest teaching and safety standards in the country.

    His continued professional development ensures that he’s always up-to-date with the latest training techniques and test criteria. This gives his students a powerful edge in their driving test and on the road.
