Worst Driving Instructor Experience – Tom Grainger ? . I had a terrible experience with Chris berry which led to me failing my test. A few reasons why I would never recommend him: • Changed his car 3 times (last time was the night before my exam! ), so I had no time to adjust. • Cancelled lessons last minute - I went 10 days without practice before my test. • Gave me only 15 minutes of sat-nav training (the night before my exam! ) which caused me to fail. • Wasted my paid time on breaks, buying vape, and even stopping at his house. • Asked me personal religious questions right outside the test centre - very unprofessional. • Overcharged me (£130 instead of £126, plus extra minutes I paid for but never got). • Used constant swearing, called my driving “rubbish, ” and made disrespectful comments about me being from Egypt. • No structured lessons, just test routes, and ignored my weaknesses. He didn’t prepare me properly, disrespected me, invaded my privacy, and wasted both my money and my confidence. ? Honestly, the worst instructor and company I’ve ever dealt with. Avoid at all costs.Moreexpand_more
