My driver Jason is one of the best driving instructors I know. He is a very chill guy but makes sure you’re doing everything correctly and you are aware of everything that needs to be complete. Thanks... See more

If I could give Jason more stars, I would. I did a 30 hour intensive course with Jason in late January, which lasted for a month. Today, I passed my test with four minors, and I must say Jason’s abili... See more

Great experience

I had Jason as my instructor and he was amazing at getting me test-ready; I passed with only 1 minor! He is a great instructor and I would recommend 1st Stop School of Motoring to anyone looking to learn to drive and pass their test. Our lessons were comprehensive as we covered everything from parking to roundabouts to faster roads. I am so happy to have passed in Cardiff thanks to Jason - I had a really good experience and recommend him highly.

Excellent instructor

Jay taught my son to drive and he passed first time with 3 minor faults. My son had a bit of previous driving experience before he was 17 with Young Driver and Jay was able to identify very quickly where additional effort would be needed to pass. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jay and 1st Stop School of Motoring to future drivers.

Jason was so helpful, informative & funny! We had a great time learning over the past months. I found myself becoming quite anxious with my test which Jason was a tremendous help.

Fabulous Instructor

My son had lessons for 2 years on & off & although the instructor said he was good from the start never put him in for his test. He started having lessons a few months ago with Jason & learnt so much in such a short time. He always spoke highly of Jason & how professional yet friendly he was. He passed his test yesterday—1st time. He is over the moon!! Thanks Jason- Keep doing what your good at xx

Passed first time

My instructors name was Jason Sheppard. He was undoubtedly the most helpful, friendly and professional instructor I’ve had. His ability to comfort me in stressful situations with an understanding yet professional view was very helpful. Some fun and interesting conversations along the way, thank you for everything Jason!

Fantastic Instructor!

Jason was a fantastic instructor to learn with. From our very first lesson he quickly picked up things that I was capable at and those which I needed help with. We were able to work together consistently to improve my driving in those areas. Jason doesn’t teach you test routes which is actually very good preparation for real world driving. Ended in a pass with only 3 small faults. Would recommend Jason & 1st stop to any new learners!

Brilliant instructor

Jason was a brilliant, friendly and relaxed driving instructor and really helped me to manage my nerves and overthinking in the car. He explains things in a really plain English, easy to understand way.

I'd previously failed 3 tests before starting with Jason, mostly down to my nerves. Jason helped me to learn to take things slow, not overthink and trust my judgement - which helped massively on test day and I passed!

Jason Thumbs Up From Me

I’m a nervous little bean who struggles with anxiety but my instructor Jason has been a credit to get me to where I am. I’ve just passed my test with 1 minor. I honestly could not have done it without him. Highly professional, knowledgeable and yet funny to make me feel relaxed in my stressed out mind.

Jason is awesome!

Jason is an amazing instructor. He was able to put me (a very nervous driver) at ease. I got confident pretty quickly under his guidance. He was full of great advice, very patient, friendly, and I also felt he was able to adjust his teaching to my needs. I have passed my test but will be looking to do some extra lessons with Jason!! :)

Passed first time!

Jason was my driving instructor - Thanks to him, I passed my test first time! He was incredibly brilliant and patient with me, as I tend to get very nervous and overwhelmed myself with doubts. He was very flexible with me as I have a young baby and that means I have limited availability. I cannot thank Jason enough for making me feel relax and confident to drive! Absolutely amazing instructor!

Passed

Jason was a great instructor. He was very accommodating of my limited availability, and let me learn at my own pace, introducing new areas of driving to me as and when I was ready for them, rather than following a set plan that might not have suited where I was at with my learning/confidence at any given time.

Very personable, and always felt like a good catch-up rather than just a driving lesson.

I’m now fully-qualified to drive, and owe a lot of that to Jason. Be sure to use him, if you’re looking for an instructor!

Brilliant Instructor

I had Jason and he was absolutely brilliant. He was relaxed, fun to be around, gentle, patient and understanding when emotions got the better of me and I beat myself up over mistakes (even touching base with me later that evening) That was really appreciated. He explained things really well, challenged me when needed, let me take an active role in my learning as I asked for what I needed and was constantly encouraging. It took me 4 attempts at my test due to nerves and then some life issues going on but he stuck by me through the whole thing and I am very grateful. He was the best instructor for me as a complete beginner and I could not have asked for better.
