Welcome to Jay's School of Motoring online!
Dear all,
After 34 years of teaching and being at retirement age, I've decided to make some changes to my schedule.
I will now only be doing lessons on Mondays and Tuesdays from 07:30am to 3:00pm.
This decision is not taken lightly, but the time has come for me to enjoy the later years of my life.

On here you can find all the information you need about my driving school, what courses are on offer, costs, contact details and more.
I am based in Crystal Palace and will only be serving nearby areas.
I teach anyone from complete beginners to pass plus students, where all lessons are on a 1 to 1 basis costing a flat £40 per hour, £60 for 1.5hr, and £80 for 2hr sessions.
As most of you are aware, you will now have to book your own practical tests, and the only test centre I will be available for is West Wickham, and can only accommodate the 8:10am and 9:07am tests, as in my experience, these are the best slots.
Motorway lessons will be conducted on Saturdays, however I will try to accommodate refresher lessons if possible.
Over the past 34 years, I've taught almost a thousand people how to drive, and changed their lives forever.
In 2014, I had a run of 22 consecutive first-time passes, the best ever recorded by the DVSA.
In 2025, I've had 19 of 22 first time test passes, and to date in 2026, I have 10 out of 10.
My latest check test on 9th Oct 2019 has rated me a grade A driving instructor, with a score of 49/51 -
only two points from perfection!
Test Day
The price for a test day is £110 - this includes the following:
- 1 hour lesson prior to test
- Hire of car for test
- Time taken during test
- Drop home after test
- Insurance
Cancellations
There is a 24 hour mandatory notice period if you need to cancel a lesson booked between Tuesday and Friday, and a 48 hour notice period for Saturday to Monday lessons. Please note that if you can't provide the mandatory notice, you will need to pay the full amount of the missed lesson.
