I came to Phil having had 3 previous driving instructors. As a learner driver it is difficult to determine whether your first instructor is in fact good at what they do as you have no prior knowledge, you must trust that they know their stuff. Phil is fantastic. He stood out from my previous inst...

Having absolutely no driving experience, Phil came highly recommended by friends, and after my first lesson, I could see why! Even though I seriously doubted my own ability, Phils calm and reassuring attitude allowed me to quickly build up confidence. The resources he provided prior to my less...

Philip was all that I could have asked from a driving instructor, and more. He understood that I had a busy schedule due to my sport, and there was never any kind of annoyance if a lesson had to be re-arranged or moved - something I greatly appreciated. His professional attitude, patience and sty...

I really enjoyed learning with Phil, and would highly recommend him as he gave me the confidence, encouragement and focus I needed. Phil had a excellent awareness of the problems I had and I could see the improvement in my driving after every lesson, and this is purely down to Phil's patience and...

Phil is an excellent driving instructor. I'm a very busy person, so twice I took several months off driving before getting round to organising another lesson. Despite this, Phil was extremely accommodating and fitted my needs perfectly. Phil has a folder full of diagrams and pictures of diffe...

I started looking for a new driving instructor. I came across Phil by chance and after a conversation...

Due to work commitments, I needed to learn to learn to drive at short notice and with no prior driving experience at all. I had been told about intensive driving courses, but I was unsure whether it was really possible to learn to drive in such a short space of time. I took the plunge and thankfu...

As a result of this I had developed some "interesting" driving skills and habits, which I knew, would prohibit me from passing a driving test.

The lessons I took with Phil weren't what I was expecting when I signed up for the tightly structured semi-intensive course as advertised by LDC, but I say that in a good way. Rather than just be taken through the pre-structured lesson plan as was dictated by the LDC books and DVDs, each 2 hour l...

I really like the clear structure of the lessons as they show progression. Each lesson covers a new skill and builds on previous ones. My confidence with driving grew in response to positive feedback and I felt well prepared for my driving test, which I passed first time!

From the first lesson I knew that Gary was an excellent instructor. He gradually build up my confidence and paced lessons so that I was always challenged and felt that I was moving forward. I would thoroughly recommend him!
