Phil Smith School of Driving

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant. No rush and phill explains everything clearly and calmly

Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time yesterday, and I couldn’t have done it without Phil! His lessons helped me greatly, and he was calm even when I made some (pretty stupid) mistakes. I can confidently recommend him as a great instructor to my friends and family. In fact, my brother is currently doing lessons with him!

Fantastic experience: Phil is an incredible instructor, very patient and clear with learning and you can have a laugh too. I passed my test with Phil with many less hours than I would've needed with any other instructor. Thank you Phil for the pass

Fantastic experience: I wanted to give you an excellent rating for the driving lessons. I really appreciate your patience and clear instructions, which made all the difference in helping me pass my test. Thanks again for everything!

Fantastic experience: I was nervous to learn to drive at first, but Phil took his time and went over everything at a slow and comfortable pace, this time last year I wrote off driving altogether, but Phil helped me get over my issues and now I'm on the road having passed my test yesterday. Very flexible with lesson times around work, and uses the TotalDrive app to help show your progress as you learn.

Fantastic experience: Phil is an absolutely fantastic driving instructor! His knowledge and experience are outstanding and he explains everything in a clear and easy to understand way. He is very patient, understanding and always made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. His friendly and supportive approach helped me improve with every lesson, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Thanks to his teaching I passed my test first time and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an instructor to learn to drive.

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test on the first attempt with only 3 minors—still can’t quite believe it! All credit goes to Phil. He trained me on every possible route around the test center and covered all the key signs and road rules. His guidance was invaluable, and I was able to put everything into practice during the test. Once I got in the car, I actually enjoyed driving, thanks to the confidence I gained from his instruction. I’m delighted to recommend him if you’re looking for a top-notch instructor. With his training, you'll be more than prepared to earn your license. Thank you, Phil, for your incredible guidance! Even after passing the test, I can still hear your driving instructions in my mind while I drive. I’ll definitely miss our lessons together!
