I first contacted Phil due to recommendations from friends and was instantly pleased with my decision. As a complete beginner I was unsure what to expect from lessons. Phil's patient and calm personality was a great confidence boost, very quickly I could feel myself progressing. Half way through my driving I took a year out, once I did come back Phil managed to fit me into his timetable and very quickly he brought me up to test standard.

Comparing my experience with friends I believe Phil is a better driving instructor than others. This is because he teaches you to drive, rather than just pass your test. You gain a lot of confidence and feel comfortable in any situation. In his lessons he won't use set plans or formulas to teach you, for example reversing is taught by feel. By the end everything feels natural and you can easily deal with any maneuver and other situations that require accurate control. Speaking to friends who have past their test but don't feel confident driving really reinforces this for me.

Phil has a great sense of humour and is easy to talk to, making each lesson an enjoyable experience. I couldn't more highly recommend him!
