What Our Students Say

Paul is friendly and lovely instructor, he made me from zero to hero because he helped me to pass my driving test without any difficulties. I will recommend any new leaners to Paul and you will never regret doing that. He has time to take you through all the lessons with passion. He courages and motivates his students to achieve the best in driving. Thank you my instructor, I can now drive independently because of you.

Very patient and great explanations! Always a good lesson and easy conversations too. Absolutely loved my lessons with Paul and kinda sad I passed already. Would highly recommend!! Get yourself booked in with him if you have any anxieties relating to driving and he'll put you straight at ease!

Paul was an excellent instructor who helped me pass my practical driving test first time. I was very nervous about starting to drive, but he made me feel at ease behind the wheel, helping me put the theory I was learning alongside our lessons into practice. I wanted to make progress quickly, and Paul was able to be flexible, supportive, and - above all - patient with his time.
