I would recommend Paul to anyone who is looking to learn to drive. After bad experiences with pervious training schools Paul took the edge off my nerves and treated me like a normal person and not just "another trainee! ". He is very professional and excellent at teaching and training. I passed today with 0 faults and its all down to him and his excellent teaching skills! Cheers Paul!

He helped build my confidence from the very first lesson, gave me lots of useful tips and hints for the controls and manoeuvres and gave me tonnes of support and encouragement the whole way through. He didn't hesitate to point out my mistakes and tell me where I could improve in a direct but friendly way. He is also extremely reliable and helpful. The quality of teaching is well worth the money and the layout of the lessons is very efficient and made me feel like I was making good progress throughout.
Could not have hoped for a better instructor and a better experience of learning to drive. On top of all this Paul could make anyone feel comfortable and is a pleasure to be around. Thanks to Paul I passed first time!

If you want to learn how to drive, go see Paul. If you want to get milked and have "in today's 2 hour lesson we will learn to indicate left" go somewhere else. Paul will teach you as fast as you can comfortably learn, he will Taylor to your abilities so the faster you can absorb it the faster he will teach. With Paul I passed first time just 3 minors, and would recommend to anyone who wants to learn to drive.

I had two refresher lessons with Paul. I had been driving since 1973 and needed to eradicate some bad habits I had lapsed into. He handled it well, just letting me drive and explaining errors to me. I knew I had problems with roundabouts and feel I now now more confidence handling them. Paul turned up on time, gave the full 2 hours and , I feel, got it dead right for a refresher.

I passed my driving test yesterday, thanks to Paul. I would highly recommend him as a driving instructor. He has always been patient and supportive. He has a great sense of humour which made me feel comfortable in his presence and his brilliant banter always took the pressure off and calmed me at times when I was struggling. His teaching methods and lesson plans were always suited to my needs.
