Phil Rigby Driving Instructor

Fantastic experience: Phil recently taught my son to drive. Phil is professional, friendly, and a great teacher.

Fantastic experience: Phil is an amazing driving instructor. He is so patient with me and always so supportive and encouraging during all the lessons! He goes above and beyond to make sure I pass my test first time! He is also very organised and detailed with his feedback - always giving constructive feedback every lesson, also has a very organised excel sheet that records my progress which I find very helpful! Always took the time to explain things to me. Love the file he has that has all the different types of roads/junctions that we would encounter on the road that he uses to explain how I need to tackle every kind of road. He would draw with marker pens and explain all of them clearly to me. Other than that, he always tries his best to accommodate to my timetable as well! I have had a few driving instructors both in the UK and back home and I can confidently say that he is the best one I’ve ever had so far! Highly recommend Phil if you’re looking for a driving instructor! He is very passionate and dedicated!

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Phil enough , brilliant instructor, calm, patient and knowledgeable. Puts you at ease from the first lesson. Couldn't have passed without him! Highly recommend.
