I cannot recommend Paul highly enough. As a more 'mature' learner. I have tried to learn before with other instructors and was never able to do it. Paul is patient, friendly, reassuring and funny. He completely puts you at ease, takes everything at a pace that is comfortable for you and has the patience of a saint (and I'm sureI really tested his patience). He is full of little hints and tips and things and explains things really well - that prepare you for driving in the real world and not just to pass your test. 100% would recommend Paul at 1stime Pass to anyone that wants to get driving.
