Every month, we announce the winner of our Instructor of the Month Award. Our winning instructor for September 2025 is…
Daran Malone!
Daran has been with us for almost three years now, having joined us at the tail end of 2022 as a PDI offering manual driving lessons in Cardiff and the surrounding areas. He passed his Part 3 the following year and has earned himself a brilliant reputation with local learners. We can tell that from the great feedback we receive in the office from his pupils and the steady flow of fantastic reviews that come in for him. He received four five-star Trustpilot reviews in September, and one of these won him this month’s award.
His winning review came from Mustafa Karbani. Mustafa had previously had lessons with two instructors from other driving schools, but he felt that Daran was leagues ahead of them. He praised him for his thorough and calm teaching style, as well as his organisational skills, always being on time for lessons. He will be recommending Daran to other learners, and we can see why!
Thank you, Daran, for all your hard work. Your consistently excellent reviews are a testament to your professionalism and genuine care for your pupils, and we are delighted to see you receive this award. Congratulations from us all here at driveJohnson’s!
