Pupil Reviews

Here you’ll find honest reviews from learners I’ve worked with—people who started out with the same nerves and questions you might have, and who have gone on to become safe, confident drivers.

Learning to drive is a big milestone, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable and supported along the way. That’s why I’m always proud to share the feedback I’ve received from my pupils.

Every pupil’s journey is different, and I take the time to adapt my lessons to each individual. These reviews reflect the patience, encouragement, and guidance I aim to bring to every lesson.

I’m grateful to everyone who’s taken the time to share their experience, and I hope their words give you a sense of what it’s like to learn with me.

My pupil's words

Paul is a not just a great guy in general but a great instructor. Makes things easy to understand and is very easy to get along with. He took me from no driving experience at all to passing my test in the space of 2 weeks. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

Paul was driving instructor for my daughter Lilly. Paul was incredible throughout the 8 months it took to take her from an absolute novice to pass her test first time in Bridgend. Lilly to be fair was a very emotional student throughout her time with Paul and tears was something he witnessed on a number of occasions, which he dealt with, with both care and professionalism. Thank you Paul for having the care, commitment and skills to get Lilly through her test. I would highly recommend Paul to anybody looking to start their Driving journey

I’m from Oxfordshire and had my driving test booked in Bridgend, but my original instructor had to cancel last minute. With less than 24 hours to go, I got in touch with Paul — and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Despite the short notice, Paul was incredibly patient and professional. He took the time to go through all possible routes and gave me clear, honest advice that really made a difference. Thanks to his focused guidance, I passed with only 2 driving faults!

Highly recommended — Paul is a top-notch instructor who genuinely wants you to succeed.

Paul is a very friendly driving instructor who helped me pass my practical test first time! He’s lovely to talk to whilst driving which helped calm my nerves on the road. He’s very patient and won’t rush you into doing anything you’re unsure with until you’re ready and he’s also very reassuring. I would definetly recommend Paul to anyone who’s looking for a reliable driving instructor who can make you into an amazing and safe driver!

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.

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.

Paul was an incredible instructor for me. He made me feel at ease in every lesson but was also able to challenge when needed. If you’re looking for someone who will teach in depth and answer every tiny question you have then I couldn’t recommend him enough! I passed first time with his help and still hear his words of advice when I’m out driving now.
