Paul is a great driving instructor and I really eniov all of mv lessons. He is calm and patient and always explains things in a way that any one can understand. I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive in an automatic car.

I am currently learning with Paul, he's very patient and has worked brilliantly with me to help me learn. My lessons are a highlight of my the week. With his help, I've gone from, not knowing if I would be able to learn to drive with my disability...to becoming more confident, and hopefully, it won't be to much longer until I'll gain more independence and be on the road. ☺️

Paul is a really friendly instructor who made every lesson feel calm and encouraging, especially given that I started driving much older than most. He always gave me clear, helpful debriefs at the end of each session, explaining what went well and what I should focus on next time. I especially appreciated how he explained things in a simple way and asked questions to help me think things through and fill in the gaps myself. His approach really helped build my confidence behind the wheel. I highly recommend if you want patient, structured, and supportive lessons!

Paul is a really good teacher who helped me to pass both my theory and practical tests. During every lesson he made sure I had a good understanding of everythinga I was being taught, and was happy to spend as much time as I needed on each manoeuvre. He was also able to answer all my questions and was happy to explain things as many times as I needed. He talked me through the test beforehand and made sure I knew what to expect on test day, which I found really reassured me as I was very nervous. I couldn’t be more grateful to him for helping me to pass.

Although I passed my theory and practical 1st time I can't take all the credit. As they say your only as good as your teacher so credit goes to Paul for getting me through a nightmare test day. He's a calm knowledgeable teacher and came recommended to me via family and friends and I would recommend time and time again. So if your looking for a driving instructor, look no further you've found the best Basingstoke thanks paul.
