I’ve just passed my test this morning, first time with only four minor faults. I cannot recommend Paul as a driving instructor highly enough, these review-thingies need more stars! As a totally novice driver, I was completely terrified of the car and having to control something so big. But Paul taught me more than just how to drive; he taught me how to be confident in myself and my abilities, and laughed at my ‘5 minutes of panic’ at the beginning of each lesson.

There are no ‘quiet car park’ lessons to start with, Paul throws you straight in at the deep end: open road, roundabouts, crossings, everything. The only time you’ll find yourself in a car park is when you’re reverse-parking into a bay. Every lesson is adapted to suit each individual student, and if you get anything wrong, you can guarantee you’ll be made to do it again. And again. And again, until it’s perfect.

There is always a healthy supply of sweets, the car is kept immaculately clean both inside and out, and there is a spare pair of sunglasses for emergencies. Paul has such a brilliant sense of humour that you are immediately put at ease, and lessons are usually a relaxed affair. He was never late, and always informed me well in advance if times or dates needed changing, and was perfectly fine if I had to do the same. And his patience must be endless to put up with me and my little eccentricities!

Many thanks Paul!
