Paul is a great instructor and we had many laughs. He has the patience of a saint and I’m going to miss the wednesday afternoon lessons but thanks to paul i no longer need the lessons and passed with the knowledge of everything he taught me and explained everything step by step. Thanks Paul ☺️

Erin Caithness

Paul is a very well knowledged, patient, and caring instructor. He made me feel at ease and confident whilst driving at all times. He has various strategies to help you no matter your learning style. I thoroughly enjoyed my time learning with Paul and although I was so excited to pass I was actually sad to know I was finished lessons forever. I would really recommend Paul to every learner!!

Amaya Fee

Mondays won’t be the same anymore 😉

Pirmjot Kaur

I had a fantastic experience with Pass with Paul! Paul is an excellent instructor who made me feel comfortable and supported from the very first lesson. He was incredibly patient and always took the time to explain things clearly, which really helped me understand each aspect of driving.

Paul’s encouragement and helpful feedback built my confidence behind the wheel. I left each lesson feeling more assured and capable. I highly recommend Pass with Paul to anyone looking for a great driving instructor. It was a pleasure learning with him!

Thanks Paul

Daiya Singh

Paul is a fabulous instructor who takes his role seriously whilst also keeping the space fun for my daughter. You can tell he loves what he does 😉🚗💨

Jenni White

Driving with Paul was a fabulous experience. Not only was he able to teach me everything I would ever need to pass, but he also has a fun, friendly and patient way of teaching. You can tell Paul really cares about his pupils as he goes over and above for all of us. ☺️

Maya Collins

Both of my twin girls passed first time with Paul.

A great instructor with lots of positive encouragement for the kids, but also for the parents taking them out to practice too which was terrifying at first!

I would definitely recommend going with Paul. Thank you 🙂

Murray Watson

Paul got me to pass first time and helped me gain confidence in my driving. I would definitely recommend Paul.

Ellie Watson

Paul is an excellent driving instructor. My daughter felt at ease driving from the start. Lessons are well instructed and very informative. He had lots of patience, which helps with nerves. This has led to confidence and safety on the road. He also keeps regular contact with parents to let you know how your child is getting on and suggesting extra ways to help improve their driving. Highly

recommend.

Catriona Ralston

Paul is such a great instructor, I felt my confidence driving grew so quickly and I enjoyed driving. Lessons are light hearted which helped ease nerves and still felt safe and informed

Thanks for everything Paul 🙂

Anya Ralston

Honestly had a great time learning, the fact that Paul was kind and actually cared about my success allowed me to learn quicker, not to mention our similar sense of humour and his ability to put up with the amount of swearing I was doing. Taking care to help me in areas I was unsure about and making sure I knew everything I needed for the test. Also, he managed to arrange a test for me much earlier than my original date which has lead to me passing much earlier!

Cameron Fletcher

Paul was a fantastic instructor and was always very supportive. He was very patient and encouraging when I was feeling a bit nervous. He made sure I was more than prepared for my tests. I was aLao able to make progress quickly and never felt like I had wasted a lesson. I highly recommend learning with Paul.

Grace Watson

My daughter passed with Paul! Friendly, calm and patient, just what a young person needs when undertaking such a daunting task. Lots of praise and encouragement were given to her and faith in her ability as she struggled with her confidence. She now feels that she deserves her pass and is very happy overall with her learner driver experience with Paul.

Susan Watson

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.

Gabriel McGillivray

I can’t recommend Paul enough as a driving instructor. He was fantastic with my daughter and helped her pass first time. It took my daughter a wee while to build up her confidence and Paul was always very honest with her about how she was getting on. He provided feedback with a checklist sheet for the student and feedback to the parents, especially towards test date. She got on brilliantly with him and got lots of encouragement and support along the way. She always loved their Thursday banter, it made the driving lessons more fun. I would highly recommend getting your child’s name down with Paul. He is definitely worth the wait and most importantly he has the patience of a saint. Thanks again Paul!

Elaine M

Paul was a fantastic driving instructor. I couldn’t recommend him enough. I passed with paul on my first attempt. I always felt relaxed while driving with paul and I was able to learn quickly. He is friendly and knows how to adapt his teaching methods to suit anyone. Paul gave me feedback every week. Things to work on when practicing with family and friends, and tips on parking manoeuvres. This helped a lot. I would 100% recommend Paul. 😃

Katie Watson

Paul was a great driving instructor. He was very chatty and had confidence in my driving. He adapted his teaching to my needs as I am a visual learner. Paul also made sure I knew what to work on next by giving me feedback and notes every lesson. Paul always went the extra mile to ensure that I felt comfortable driving. This was shown by him putting in more hours than he had to in the lead up to my test. If you are looking for an instructor who can pass you within 6 months and make you confident on the roads then Pass with Paul is your answer. Thanks again paul.

Sue Watson

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!!

Liz Lawson

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 👍🚗💨

Today I passed with Paul, great instructor and teacher. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks Paul 👍

Logan Blair

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 👍

Harris Lovatt

“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!”

Neil Lovatt

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 …

Jane Andy Ruby Small

I hadn’t driven for 8 years and booked refresher lessons with Paul. I highly recommend him to anyone.

fantastic instructor!

Thank you Paul you helped buildup my confidence. 🚗

Linda Gillfeather

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! 🙂

Declan McGallagly

Thank you Paul for all your guidance and support. It is so appreciated. I am delighted to have my licence. Thank you again.

Nathan Clark

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! 🚗

Megan Gordon

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

Julie Gordon

My daughter loved her lessons with Paul. He was so patient with her and thanks to him she passed her test first time with no minors. We definitely would recommend Paul as a driving instructor ⭐️

Dee Elle Stevenson

Paul is a fantastic instructor, always felt calm in the car learning each week!! Definitely recommend passing with Paul 😁

Melissa Burningham

Couldn’t have hoped for a better instructor. Started lessons towards the end of October and passed first try at the beginning of April. Paul is great to chat to, very patient and a great teacher, definitely recommend 🙂 Thank you Paul 😊

Heather

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!!

Katy Stow

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).

Gillian Marshall

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!

Hannah

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 🚗

Caleb McCracken

Paul is an outstanding instructor, who with empathy and humour brings out the best in his pupils and inspires them to be mature and confident drivers!!

I would absolutely recommend Paul!!

Henrietta

Absolutely delighted to have passed first time, couldn’t have done it without Paul! He is friendly, helpful and patient and I couldn’t imagine learning with anyone else.

Keira Ratter

I can highly recommend Paul. He made sure Keira was fully ready for her exam and helped her to pass first time. Thanks Paul!

Could not recommend Paul enough, he is very patient and friendly and helped me gain confidence when driving. I always looked forward to my lessons and will miss a Friday afternoon. Thanks for everything Paul couldn’t of done it without you!! 🚗🚗

Aliyyah Waheed

Paul is a great driving instructor!!

He helped my driving even through the ups and downs of covid – he is determined to see his students pass.

I couldn’t recommend him more.

Thank you, Paul.

Grace Finch

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.

Isabel

Could not recommend Paul enough he is very patient and has a great way with his students .

If your thinking of using Paul for yourself or your teenagers i highly recommend to get booking .

Thank you for everything you have done for my daughter I now just need to get her to stay in 🚗😂

Claire McFarlane

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. 😀

Julie Gray

Paul is a great instructor. Teaches very well and helps you getting test ready quickly. Highly recommend Paul to anyone wanting to learn.

Thanks Paul

Also communication throughout was so easy. Thanks again. Francis 🙏

France's Ferry Mckenzie

Paul was an excellent instructor for me. I started off a nervous wreck, but we eventually built up the confidence and I now feel great when in the car. He persevered with me, and I passed my test first time with few minors. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an instructor!

Glasgow McKenzie

My son passed first time. Paul is an excellent instructor providing great value and personalised lessons. He makes you feel at ease when you are learning. Thanks Paul.

Paul was a great instructor for me. He personalised all sessions to what I wanted to improve on. Paul made me feel really confident on the road and made me feel in control during my first time on the road. Thanks Paul.

Matthew Gibson

Paul was a great instructor who was very encouraging and always pushed me to become better each lesson. He was great all the way up to my test and definitely calmed my nerves on my test day. Thanks Paul!

Lauren Agnew

Paul is an encouraging and understanding teacher that provides comprehensive teaching that helps build a learner’s skills and confidence on the road. Helps you really understand what you’re doing rather than getting you to fulfil a checklist for a test. Thanks Paul!

Sam McGarry

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!!

Shayaan Majeed

Paul is a great instructor who makes learning to drive a enjoyable process. He is extremely friendly and supportive so would definitely recommend him as an instructor. 👍😉😋

Anna Griffin

“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!”

Hilary Gallagher

Cannot recommend this guy enough! If he can get my sorry, nervous ass through my test he can help anybody. Thanks again Paul, Mondays will never be the same again 😉👍🥳🚗💨 I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Paul. 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.

Michael Driver

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.

Helen Chong

Paul was an excellent instructor who was thorough with his teaching but extremely friendly and always made me feel at ease. He was an absolute hoot to be taught by and I would not have passed first time without him. Thanks Paul!😊

Chloe Hobbs

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.

Steve Hobbs

Paul is a great instructor .. he is very patient and managed to keep my daughter calm, never rushed her, encouraged her and gave her the confidence to pass first time!!Thankyou Paul .. I knew you were the right man for the job!!!!

Today I achieved something I never thought I would be able to do and I done it first time. this was all thanks to Paul. I had an awful experience with a driving instructor when I was younger so I was really worried about starting back lessons. Paul put me at ease from the start, right up until my test today. Thank you for everything, this has actually changed my life! I cannot recommend Paul highly enough. Thanks again
