Could not recommend Paul enough he’s extremely patient and very knowledge and has been in the industry for years. I passed first time and I couldn’t have done it without Paul and all his experience and knowledge. Such a friendly and approachable driving instructor!

Paul is such a good instructor, giving advice that's easy to understand and get the hang of. When we first started I found the idea of driving very daunting, but by the time my test came around I felt fairly confident and passed on first! Thank you again

Paul is such an amazing driver and even more amazing driving instructor. Definitely worthy, he'll tell you anything that you may do wrong no matter how small but don't take it to heart, he just wants you to be safe on the roads.
His friendly manner and professionalism is outstanding makes it less stressful to learn which is amazing and builds up confidence nicely.
Note: he helped me passed first time.
Thanks again Paul, for amazing lessons and great tips. Stay safe.

First began learning to drive when I was 17... four instructors and four years later (after giving up a lot of times because I thought I’d never get the hang of it) I met Paul and passed my test first time after a semi-intensive course over 8 weeks. He dealt with a lot of tears, stress and terrible driving (initially) like a pro, words can’t do this guy justice!

Just passed first time. And although Paul claims I did it, I couldn't of asked for a better instructor. Patient, caring, funny...the list goes on. Makes you feel at ease whilst driving with his stories and takes the nerves away from you. Honestly, can't stop smiling. Thank you!! Highly recommended.

Paul has been the best instructor I could've asked for! He has the patience of a saint, is one of the nicest guys I've met and was a laugh to learn with!
I've had a struggle with nerves during my tests but I finally passed today, if it hadn't been for Paul I would've quit a few months back but he kept me going and it's thanks to his fantastic teaching that I got through
Definitely recommend using paul to learn with no matter your age or experience, after all he is a grade A instructor!
