Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time today after learning with Peter, he is a brilliant instructor who is so dedicated and would constantly reassure me of my ability, especially as I didn’t find driving easy and he had so much patience with me when doing so. I always enjoyed our lessons and his sense of humour and would recommend him to anyone! Thank you so much, Peter.

Fantastic experience: I started lessons with Pete a couple months ago. I had already been practising driving for some time, I wanted some final help to be test ready and I found Pete on Facebook and decided to start lessons with him. I am very glad that I did. Me and Pete got on really well, he was kind, he helped me with any bad habits that I had picked up and how to stay safe on the road. I doubted myself a lot at times and he would always pick me back up and tell me that I’m a good driver and to trust my instincts. That led to me passing my test FIRST TIME!! I’m really going to miss Pete as he was a genuinely kind human to be around and it was so fun experiencing the pass with him. I definitely recommend Pete to anyone who wants to learn how to drive as he has so much knowledge and very professional. Thank you so much Pete, look after yourself and I’ll see you on the road.

Fantastic experience: Peter has guided me so well throughout this learning experience and has been prompt and flexible with time slots and would update me on any change of plans or free slots. Peter’s always been so patient, understanding, and even at times where I may have been flustered or confused, never failed to reassure me perfectly and help me find my feet again. He never got annoyed or made me feel embarrassed or stupid and always gave full support to my questions and thoughts. All instructions were clear and well explained, and feedback was provided constructively and kindly which was such a big help to the ease of learning. Not only was my time as a student amazing in terms of Peter’s teaching, Peter was so easy to get along with, we always found ways to laugh and enjoy, and I always felt so comfortable which is so important. Therefore I highly recommend anyone seeking to drive, this is the perfect instructor! Thank you so much Peter, See you out and about! Libby :)

Natalie May 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Well.. where do I start! If I could give Pete 6 stars I would. I came to Pete with no confidence, bad previous experiences and I was so nervous because driving didn’t come as easy to me as other people. Straight away Pete made me feel relaxed, he is supportive, knowledgeable, patient and knows how to have a laugh with you. Week after week my confidence started to increase and I’m delighted to say I passed my test this morning first time, with zero minors! ✨ Honestly if you are looking for an instructor that makes you feel comfortable and teaches in a way that works for you then look no further. I can’t recommend Pete enough! I am going to miss our chats and banter Pete, thank you so much for everything! Nat x

Julia Kalmuk 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test on my 1st try!!! I took me years to get over my fear of driving, but Peter has helped to get me the TOP! Driving lesson are very detailed and precise! Everything is explained and shown in a way that YOU will understand! He takes time with his teaching, as long as you need, until you fully understand the area that you may struggle with. He will use different methods to find the one that work best for you. He may use his Ipad to go through different roads, show you how to approach them and help you understand them. You get 1000% of Pete's attention on you and your driving! I felt very safe driving with Peter, as I knew he was always there if I didn't react or missed something out. He talks you through everything, but at the same time pushed your own thinking and judgments about driving! I could go on, how pleased I am, however all his work is reflected on people's HIGH rate of 1st time passes! (Like me) Results speak for themselves! I highly advise to view Peter's Facebook and Instagram pages to view the result for yourself! I couldn't recommend Peter more! You'll be in safe hands, forever. not only to pass your driving test BUT The knowledge you'll learn will keep you safe for your forever driving !! Good luck!

Fantastic experience: Pete is one of the best instructors around! From the moment I started my lessons, he made me feel super confident behind the wheel and prepared me to face the roads alone. He went through all the various techniques in great detail, making me feel safe and in control of my driving at all times. Being at University far away while trying to complete my driving test was not easy, but Pete was very understanding. He could offer me lessons whenever I was home and was really flexible. Pete is a very kind and patient instructor. He made me feel relaxed during all of our lessons with his cheerful sense of humour! Now that I have passed my test I am definitely going to miss our lessons together Pete! Thanks so much for everything.

Fantastic experience: Pete is an amazing instructor, after changing both instructor and area he made sure I felt relaxed and comfortable while ensuring I was well prepared in a short time. My lessons were always very thorough, and despite only starting lessons with him two weeks before my test he managed to take me through everything I needed to know and I ended up passing with only 3 minors! Thank you so much, I definitely recommend.

susie fryar 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Pete very kindly accommodated my daughter at very short notice whilst she was home on school holiday. I can honestly say he is totally amazing! Reliable, hard working, organised beyond words, kind, considerate and patient. An excellent teacher. Brilliantly communicated all the skills necessary for my daughter to pass her test within a month of his taking over teaching her. Thorough and logical in his system of teaching and also great at connecting with teenagers. I cannot recommend Pete enough - we have been thrilled to find such a good teacher for my daughter and I feel he has armed her fully with all the skills needed to make a good and sensible young driver and steered her (if you’ll excuse the pun) towards adopting a mature attitude to driving. My only criticism is that he’s so good that now she has passed she will miss their chats and his guidance! Thanks Pete, with warmest gratitude from Susie

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Pete as a driving instructor! He is so professional and easy to get along with. I was such a nervous driver but he made me feel at ease every lesson and has helped me grow in confidence. He is so patient and knowledgeable and takes the time to break everything down. He helped prepare me not just for my test but for every day driving . Can’t thank him enough for helping me pass my test!

Fantastic experience: An amazing instructor with a heart of gold. Thanks to Peter, I was able to pass my test first time after only 4 months of learning with him. He is very patient and will explain everything in detail, no matter how many times you ask. Being a chatty individual myself, Pete was more than happy to talk back, which put my nerves at bay and allowed me to feel comfortable behind the wheel. Couldn’t recommend him enough!!!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Peter as I found he teaches really well and I always enjoyed his lessons. I think his teaching style is different to most as he takes his time with the pupil as they’re new to driving. He explains things really well especially manoeuvres and is always up for a chat about anything and everything.

K Mitch 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Pete is an excellent instructor and I would highly recommend him. He helped me to unlearn lots of silly habits picked up from past instructors and was very clear and patient in every lesson. He prepared me for everyday driving, rather than just how to pass the test so now I feel much more comfortable driving. He doesn’t take anything too seriously and is a great laugh which is especially great if you’re more of a nervous learner. Overall, I’ve loved learning with Pete and will really miss our lessons. Thanks Pete for all of the encouragement and for helping me pass first time!

Thanks for everything!

Charlotte Saxton 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Pete is an amazing driving instructor he was always so calm and understanding keeping our lessons fun and stress-free while pushing me to be my best but never made me feel uncomfortable or flustered. He is a kind and very professional individual he used many different techniques to help me understand driving including diagrams and examples and always offered advice on how to improve even when I could competently drive, he offered me help with booking both my practical and theory test and offered all the prep I needed to pass both! I was able to pass both tests first time and with little stress and couldn't ask for a better instructor.

Georgina 3 years ago

Managed to pass first time so I’m looking forward to being on the roads :)
