Paul is a great driving instructor and I really enioy all of my lessons. He is calm and patient and always explains things in a way that any one can understand. I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive in an automatic car.

Paul is a fantastic teacher, very patient and knowledgeable, and put me at ease whilst driving, especially during the first few lessons when I was very nervous to start driving.

I have managed to pass the first time – thank you very much for your help, Paul!

Thanks to Paul’s patience, calm manner and excellent teaching techniques, I passed my test today with only two minors. Not being a spring chicken anymore, the old grey cells aren’t as sharp as they used to be, so I have to thank Paul for the extra patience and understanding.

Would highly recommend Paul’s driving services.

Paul is a really friendly instructor who made every lesson feel calm and encouraging, especially given that I started driving much older than most. He always gave me clear, helpful debriefs at the end of each session, explaining what went well and what I should focus on next time.

I especially appreciated how he explained things in a simple way and asked questions to help me think things through and fill in the gaps myself. His approach really helped build my confidence behind the wheel. I highly recommend if you want patient, structured, and supportive lessons!

I arranged 2 refresher lessons with Paul prior to Christmas 2025. On the 4th December, I purchased an automatic car. I had not driven one before, and after many years of driving a manual, I needed expert advice and tuition. I had looked up lessons for automatic cars, as it was all new to me and lots of electric add-ons.

Paul I found excellent. I never felt any questions I had were insignificant. He put me at ease whilst driving and listened to my concerns. I can highly recommend Paul, whatever age group you are in.
