Fantastic experience: Paul Driving School is the best around Bromley. I passed first time today and it is all thanks to Paul. He is very easy to talk to, always providing guidance throughout the learning sessions and was never harsh with his remarks. Paul is highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great instructor who knows the roads around Bromley, sidcup area very well. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Passed 1st time with Paul… what more do you need to know! Very patient and calm instructor. Knows the routes the various local test centres use which was of great help in my practical in Sidcup. Cheers Paul

Fantastic experience: Paul is the best driving instructor I've ever met, he is reliable, punctual and never absent in every lesson.I'm a very nervous person, and whenever I didn't do well, I kept saying "oh my god ", Paul would encourage me continuously, keep telling me that I can do it, be positive in order to help me to build up the confidence. After each lesson, Paul would ask me to write down the feelings about the lesson on the iPad and discuss with me the areas that I have to improve, he is teaching in a very systematic way. Paul has extensive teaching experiences with a humorous teaching style. I used to be very nervous about driving, but now I can confidently drive and become a safe driver, all the credit goes to Paul. I highly recommend Paul to be your driving instructor. Lastly thank you Paul for not giving up on me.

Fantastic experience: Paul is a great teacher and immediately puts you at ease as a first time learner. He not only explains concepts in a clear and simple manner but also teaches certain manoeuvres - where it allows - in a couple different ways so you can pick the one you are the most comfortable with. More importantly, he is always trying to make you more comfortable and confident as a driver. At the end of each lesson, he asks what you feel you need to improve and allocates time in the next lesson for more practice. Paul has been very accommodating - going the extra mile! He has delayed a couple of the lessons by 30-40 minutes to fit around my schedule as well as fit in a weekend class right before my test! He also helped book a test for me in the early hours of a random Monday after I couldn’t find one myself (truly grateful!). His classes are full knowledge exchanges, sharing fun stories and having a laugh - so classes are definitely not boring. Highly recommend! (Thank you Paul!)

Fantastic experience: I have passed my test today at Bromley. After few failed attempts with different instructor/test centre, I have decided to try Bromley recently. I had been most lucky to find Paul French, brilliant and supportive driving instructor. Paul was very quick to notice parts of my driving that needed improvements. Paul listen to my opinions and help me to gain confidence for the test. I only wished I had found Paul years ago. I am extremely happy with my improved ability to drive. I highly recommend Paul French as driving instructor . He is definitely 5 star person with 5 star teaching driving experience . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Paul is the BEST driving instructor I had as a learner. Having to go through different driving instructors, I found that Paul is the one who gives professional advice through experiences. He’s also extremely patient and very funny! I really looked forward to my driving lessons with Paul and was not once put off by driving lessons. He’s also extremely punctual and very reliable, we never had a cancelled lesson ever. He’s a good instructor you can trust

Fantastic experience: I am so pleased that I passed my driving test today with Zero faults!! Thank you Paul for your encouragement and support in my driving journey. I felt relaxed and at ease in my lessons with you and it made all the difference to enjoyable learning and driving practice. Thank you ☺️

Fantastic experience: Paul is a very knowledgeable, patient and professional driving instructor and with his help, I managed to pass the driving test in one go at Sidcup. He helps me to develop not only the required skills to pass the exams but also more importantly the safety driving mindset going forwards. Paul also adds different new challenges during the learning journey so I enjoy every lesson and never feel bored. I would strongly recommend Paul.

Fantastic experience: Excellent instructor! Very accommodating and calm. Ensures each lesson has a takeaway. Couldn't recommend enough

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Paul enough. I had 4 instructors prior and learnt more with Paul than any of them, he makes you feel at ease behind the wheel and really explains how to do things in a simple way so it’s not a brain overload! Passed first time and that was all because of Paul’s guidance. Cannot thank him enough!

Fantastic experience: Paul is an excellent instructor who teaches with intelligence and understanding. He knows how to pace learning according to the student's reaction to various techniques and scenarios, this means that you never feel rushed but also never get bored or frustrated. He managed to turn lessons from something I was dreading into a highlight of my week. Paul is understanding, compassionate and entertaining with seemingly endless reserves of optimism and patience! I would highly recommend him to anybody. He definitely goes above and beyond for his students and thanks to him I passed first time in an unfamiliar area, which goes to show he really teaches you how to drive and not just how to wing it through a test. If you want to learn to drive you will have a hard time finding anyone better to teach you. Good luck! :-)

Fantastic experience: He was able to help me understand the fundamentals of driving. He was calm and patient, which allowed for a productive learning environment. Overall he’s a good teacher.

Fantastic experience: I passed my first practical exam with Paul. He is very patient and calm. He is always punctual and uses the time during lessons efficiently with goals and objectives for the day. Paul made me reflect on things I could have done better rather than just telling me what to do which made me realise how to correct my errors and improve my techniques in the end.

Fantastic experience: Paul was very punctual and calm throughout my learning experience. He always put emphasis on doing right thing and be safe on the road instead of just telling tricks to pass tests. He used to devote his personal time to find out more complex route to make me learn new things in every lesson. His sincere teaching really helped me passing my driving test at west wickham. I would highly recommend him for driving lessons.

Fantastic experience: I passed first time with Paul! I started learning April this year and began as quite a nervous driver. Paul helped me to build up my confidence behind the wheel and had extreme patience with me every lesson. Polite, punctual and funny! A great teacher who I recommend highly to any learner. Thank you so much Paul!

Fantastic experience: I was looking for automatic driving lessons around Pettswood/Orpington (BR5) and I came across Paul's website and I am so glad I chose him to be my Instructor. He is very calm, patient, punctual and the best teacher. He pays very good attention to road and provides useful driving techniques that I shall remember for life . I would give special mention to his punctuality as he was always before time for his lessons and has never done any last moment cancellations. I would recommend Paul to anyone who wants to feel confident when they carry out their driving test. He has years of experience in driving which also shows in his way of teaching. He also shared with me the most effective techniques for banishing driving test nerves and as a result, I became a calm and confident driver during my test. Many thanks to Paul for his efforts in helping me to achieve my driving licence in very first attempt, couldn't recommend Paul enough!
