Fantastic experience: Pete has taught both of my daughters. We have been very happy with his teaching. Always calm and relaxed, making calm and competent drivers. We live in Perranporth and he comes out to us once a week. Very happy customer. I booked 4 months ahead of their 17th bday so that lessons could begin straight away. Thanks Pete

Fantastic experience: Pete was a fantastic instructor. Very calm and patient which is great because I started off as a very nervous driver. Punctual and never made me feel bad for making a mistake. He was good company and we had some good laughs together too! I started lessons with him not liking driving (due to a previous instructor), and finished with a level of confidence I never thought I’d obtain, and a newfound enjoyment from driving! Seriously 100% recommend Pete to anyone, especially if you’re anxious.

Negative experience: Cancelled on my partner most weeks, a few times the night before her lesson because he “forgot” and was on holiday. Minimal communication in between for re-booking lessons and just overall very poor professionalism. I ended up teaching her how to drive in the end due to the unreliability of this instructor. And pete if your reading this… she passed her test without your help

Fantastic experience: I've been learning to drive with Pete all week and he has helped me so much overcoming my fear of busy roundabouts. He has made me feel much more confident and positive when driving. He remains professional throughout every lesson and he always ensures our safety aswell as other road users. He also ensures any instruction given is clear and easy to understand, it's been a pleasure so far and I look forward to driving with him again tomorrow. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to learn to drive to go with Focus On Driving and have Pete as their instructor, as learning with Pete will get you driving confidently, correctly and most important of all, safely.
