Paul is a fantastic instructor. My 17 year old made very good, steady progress, and has passed with confidence with all the skills to be a safe and competent driver.

Paul was patient and caring throughout, and we had written feedback each week with clear guidance on the next steps and areas of improvement.

Would highly recommend!!!

Thank you Paul!!

I can’t recommend Paul enough as a driving instructor. From the moment my son started his lessons with Paul, I noticed a remarkable difference in his confidence behind the wheel.

Paul’s patience is truly commendable; he creates a supportive environment where mistakes are seen as learning opportunities rather than setbacks.

One of the things that impressed me the most was Paul’s commitment to keeping parents informed. He regularly provided updates on my son’s progress and how I could best support his driving journey, which helped alleviate any worries and kept me involved.

Overall, Paul is not just a driving instructor; he’s a mentor who genuinely cares about his students’ development and safety on the road. If you’re looking for someone who combines expertise with a compassionate approach, Paul is the perfect choice.

He’s worth the wait 👍🚗💨

I passed with Paul on my first attempt, I passed!Paul is a great driving instructor whom I couldn’t recommend more. I always felt in safe hands and was able to push myself and improve with each lesson. I consider Paul much more than an instructor; he’s a good friend. I will miss our Monday conversations and lessons. I cannot recommend Paul enough; his patience, perseverance, and support allowed me to build my confidence on the road. If you are looking for an expert, high-quality driving instructor, you should pass with Paul. 👍🚗💨

Paul was an excellent driving instructor. He was incredibly friendly and chatty which helped keep me comfortable in the car as well as informative and a great teacher. He was very good at picking up on how I learned best and adapting his teaching style. I would highly recommend Paul 👍

“I cannot recommend Pass with Paul enough! Paul was an exceptional driving instructor for my son Harris, who passed his driving test on the first try with no errors. Paul’s attention to detail and dedication to perfection were evident in every lesson. He was patient, kind, and always went the extra mile to ensure that Harris was comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Without Paul’s guidance, Harris would not have been able to pass his test on the first try.. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who is skilled, patient, and dedicated to helping you succeed, look no further than “Pass ‘First Time’ with Paul!”

We are delighted that our daughter Ruby recently passed her driving test with Paul. He was patient and understanding, along with his guidance made it a smooth process from first time drive to passing her test. We always found Paul to be honest in his feedback and really had the interest of Ruby at the forefront …

Learning with Paul this year has been a fantastic experience. Paul’s style and method of teaching is both patient and insightful. Paul puts you right at ease at every lesson – different stages of learning to drive can feel really daunting, however Paul’s clear experience not only makes you feel comfortable driving, but allows you to quickly learn how to drive without all the worry about mistakes one might make. Pauls insights, thoughtful feedback, teaching style and mock tests all helped me pass first time!

I’d have no hesitation recommending Paul for anyone who’s looking to learn to drive! I couldn’t have hoped for a better instructor.

Thank you Paul! 🙂

Paul was a fantastic teacher who really made me feel confident in my driving. Learning to drive can be a really challenging process and Paul made it that much easier with constant encouragement and support (even when you almost crash the car). I couldn’t have passed without him! 🚗

Our twin daughters Kate and Megan both passed their test first time under Paul’s instruction . Although initially reluctant drivers we watched their confidence grow under Paul’s instruction . Paul kept us updated on their progress and what to practise outwith lessons which was incredibly helpful for us as parents . He was very reliable and kept us updated of any changes to schedules etc .

Would definitely recommend Paul to future drivers

Paul was fantastic with my daughter. Very honest and upfront with how she was getting on and expected “sitting the test” time. She got on great with Paul and got lots of encouragement along with fun chats too!!

My daughter Hannah was pretty comfortable with Paul and enjoyed the chat and the easy relationship which is half the battle. Imagine being stuck in a car for an hour and a half with someone you didn’t take to? She took her time to build up confidence but was supported and encouraged along the way by Paul. Yes would absolutely recommend Paul. Turns out even 17 year olds like getting stickers to mark progress, thanks Paul from both of us (she maybe has a licence but still not old enough to use FB).

Paul is a great instructor who always made my lessons enjoyable. He was always very encouraging even when i felt like giving up. My lessons were always light hearted and i just felt like i was driving around with a friend. I couldn’t have passed without you, thanks Paul!

Paul was the best instructor I could ask for. He is very kind and has a great sense of humor and even when I made the most silly mistakes he would find the positives about it and have a joke.

I really don’t think I would have a passed as quick as I did without Paul’s guidance and constructive criticism.

The lessons didn’t even feel like lessons they felt like I was being taught by a friend to drive.

Thank you for everything Paul 🚗

Paul is a very friendly and cheerful instructor, with his attitude each class was very enjoyable and even on bad days, he made them look positive.

His teaching method is very good, he has tips, visual aids and pedagogical support to learn to drive safely and do maneuvers easily.

If English is your second language, Paul will make it very easy. In my case I could understand him and he tried to make it easy for me.

He was the one who arranged the test and due to the available date, I had to take many lessons and my pocket suffered but my driving confidence appreciated it.

I have driver’s license from two other countries and have been driving for many years, but learning to drive in the UK with Paul really made me a very safe and careful driver.

I am very grateful to Paul for helping me break bad driving habits and gain new skills.

I couldn’t recommend Paul highly enough. My son Clark really connected with him and therefore got more out of each lesson. Each week Paul gave feedback with a checklist sheet of what needed extra practice to keep him on track. He was delighted to pass first time after quite a few mock tests within his lessons. This helped him to remain calm during his test and show the examiner that he was worthy of a pass.

Thanks Paul. 😀

Paul is an excellent instructor with great patience and an exceptional approach to teaching. I myself (18) passed first time with Paul’s help as his mock tests and insight were invaluable. After learning with a previous instructor and going nowhere, Paul was recommended to me by a friend and even after the first lesson the difference was night and day. Thank you to Paul for helping me through and getting me on the road.

I cannot recommend him enough!!

“Our son Tom (17) passed first time this afternoon with Paul. One very very happy new driver.

Paul’s been fantastic. Reliable, flexible and definitely knows how to get the best out of his students. Covid disrupted things hugely but Paul kept in touch and kept smiling.

We aren’t concerned about Tom being out alone now. He’s been taught brilliantly and is secure and confident in his ability with great road sense. As a parent, that feeling is worth its weight in gold. Thank you. Our daughter will be coming your way next year!”

He has a relaxed teaching style, and explained things to me in a way that made learning easy for me and really helped put my mind at ease. I cannot recommend this guy enough.

Paul is friendly and approachable. I found that his two hour lessons give me concentrated training and they progressed much faster than my friends. He tries his hardest to be flexible where possible if I needed to change the lesson time.

Proof of my recommendation would be that my sister is already signed up for Lessons when she turns 17.

Paul was recommended to us, and that recommendation was spot on.

Paul is a fantastic driving instructor, who took my daughter from never driven on a road to first time pass in a reasonable amount of time. He gave my daughter not only the skills to pass her test and be a safe driver but the confidence at the same time.

I highly recommended Paul to anyone wanting to learn to drive.
