Fantastic experience: We first chose Phil to be our son, Lewis's driving instructor based on recommendation from other parents.

Fantastic experience: Phil couldn't have been a better teacher! He was great at explaining and always checked in with me to see how I was feeling and if I had any questions. After I didn't pass my test first time he was really supportive and helped give me the confidence to try again and pass second time round! Would definitely recommend going to Phil if you have any nerves about driving or have no experience like me - Thanks so much Phil!

Fantastic experience: Phil is honestly an incredible Driving Instructor who goes above and beyond any other. He takes his time in understanding you as a Learner and helped me see how important it is to drive with confidence (something I really struggled with). I had no confidence in my ability to drive when i first started and was terrified of being on the road with other drivers. I was always filled with panic anytime i made a mistake and never thought i was going to be ready to drive on my own because of it. Phil was exceptionally patient through all of this and never made me feel bad for not picking it up quickly or for fumbling if my nerves got the better of me. No matter how many lessons it took, he helped me all the way until test day when I passed first time and i couldn’t have done it without him. I recommend Phil to anyone who is anxious about driving because he really does care and wants to make sure you are as safe a driver as can be.

Fantastic experience: Phil is an absolute star ⭐️ I had a zero confidence at the start and was terrified to even think about driving. As a 35 years old I thought that I’ll never be able to drive. Phil is extremely patient, explains everything well and clearly and I can’t recommend him enough. He helped me to build a confidence and I’ve passed my test for the first time. Thank you! I wouldn’t have done it without you

Fantastic experience: I would really recommend Phil as an instructor to everyone, he is really professional and friendly. Helped me so much in the short time he taught me.

Fantastic experience: Had a great time with Phil, he’s reassuring if you make mistakes and makes the environment relaxing. Giving you confidence to learn in a safe and friendly environment.

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience Phil really was amazing and great at finding the best ways of learning that suited me,so happy to pass 1st time

Fantastic experience: easy to get along with through all my lessons whilst still helping me learn everything i needed to know about driving which helped me pass first time!

Fantastic experience: Just passed my ADI Pt3 today, and Phil has been my guide and mentor during the whole journey. This included a source of advice prior to deciding to actually start this journey. The full package alongside course material from a third party helped me get ready for all 3 parts of the ADI journey, with the extended theory, the tidying up my own driving skills to achieve a zero fault ADI Pt2, and the advice and feedback as I started the trepidation of actually helping and coaching real pupils. At this point that include 10 passes in 6 months. The sitting in and feedback that helped with today's pass in achieving the necessary grade for a pass to become a full ADI. Cheers Phil and would thoroughly recommend as a guide for the ADI journey.

Fantastic experience: I will be forever grateful to Phil for helping me to overcome my driving anxiety / phobia. Phil has most up to date knowledge, lots of visual / pictorial tools to explain things and very clear way to pass the knowledge and build skills to help you to became safe and defensive driver. Phil is also very easy to “ get on with” …with the patience of a saint… and good sense of humour, making you feel at ease from the very first lesson . I would recommend Phil to everyone who wants to learn to drive , brush up rusty skills or overcome any driving anxieties. Top driving instructor :-)

Fantastic experience: Really good experience learning with Phil, would highly reccomend to any learners!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Phil enough, I am one for letting nerves get the better of me and doubting myself. Phil phoned me before my first lesson and got to know me initially, I found this a great help as it can be daunting meeting someone for the first time especially in a lesson environment! He made me feel at ease and supported me in managing my nerves well. An outstanding trainer and a great guy to get along with! Each lesson was extremely well planned with the progress plan he uses, ensuring you’re ready for your test and covered all areas! Cannot recommend him enough.

Fantastic experience: Very patient instructor, Got me through practical test in first go

Fantastic experience: Such a great teacher would 100% recommend. Started with 0 experience and Phil helped me all the way to the end. Such a calm instructor and finds the best way to explain stuff

Fantastic experience: Great instructor. He was very patient and calm which helped with my nerves and building my confidence. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Phil to new drivers, great instructor and great teacher who helped me pass with no faults at all!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Phil! I was a really anxious driver when I began lessons but he was always there with little tips and advice to help me through. I could see myself the improvement I was gaining from lessons with Phil which was really nice. Phil is an all round great guy and never makes you feel small for simple mistakes or silly questions he’s always on hand with listening ears for anything! Patience of a Saint for sure

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend phill enough, he was patient with my nerves to start with. However, thanks to Phill’s great understanding and explaining, I am confident and comfortable on the road now. Passed first time thanks to phill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Cant recommend Phil highly enough, he taught our eldest son to drive a couple of years ago and now our youngest (December 2022) both sailed through the test first time and were immediately highly competent and safe drivers such that me and their Mum were completely confident they were good to be out on their own straight away. Highly likely Phil will be booked up and busy but worth waiting for a slot to have him take care of getting your ‘little one’ safely on the road.

Fantastic experience: Phil is a great instructor. He is calm and ensures that you understand everything before attempting anything out of your comfort zone. Passed near perfectly because of him and cannot thank him enough. Highly recommend him to any learners.
