A New Chapter: Hanging Up the L-Plates
​To all my past, present, and future drivers,

​After 13 and a half wonderful years as a driving instructor, the time has come for me to officially retire at the end of August due to health issues.

​Looking back over the years, it has been an absolute privilege to help so many of you take to the road. We’ve shared it all—the nerve-wracking first lessons, the triumphs, the occasional setbacks, and plenty of tears, laughter, and celebratory hugs along the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of learners.

​I’m Still Here to Help!
​While I am stepping back from full-time instruction, my passion for coaching hasn´t gone anywhere. If you have your own car and are looking for a bit of guidance, I am still available on a more informal basis to offer:

​Mock Driving Tests to get you 100% test-ready
​Test Preparation & Last-Minute Polish
​Private Practice Coaching in your own vehicle
​If you need advice, a dry run before the big day, or extra confidence behind the wheel, please don´t hesitate to reach out—I’d be more than happy to help.

​Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey over the last decade and a half. It has been an unforgettable ride!

​Warmest regards,

I´d like to thank Daniel for sending me this great review after passing his test the other day and with only 1 driver fault. Cheers Dan 👍👍

Phil quickly put me at ease on my first lesson.
He gave me the confidence and I always looked forward to my weekly lesson - even the jokes 😃 £
Phil always gave me constructive comments and always believed in me.
He is an amazing instructor and thank you so much for the lessons and helping me pass with only 1 minor.

I´d like to thank Lilly for this lovely review she´s just sent to me after passing her test at the 1st attempt. Thank you so much 🙏
I would highly recommend Phil to anyone looking for a driving instructor. He was patient, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout my lessons. Phil helped build my confidence behind the wheel and always explained things clearly, making me feel comfortable and prepared every step of the way.
Thanks to his excellent teaching, I passed my driving test with only 2 driving faults! I couldn’t have done it without his guidance, encouragement, and belief in me. Thank you, Phil, for helping me become a confident and safe driver. Five stars from me!

It´s not very often I get a review from parents after their son or daughter has passed their test, but I received this yesterday from Steve & Jo, after their daughter Jess, passed her test yesterday at the 1st attempt. I´d like to thank you both so much for the lovely, kind words.
Thank you 🙏🙏
Hi Phil,
We would like to pass on our sincere gratitude to you for coaching our daughter through the minefield of learning to drive. We approached you following recommendations from our daughters friends , after difficulties we had experienced with our initial choice of instructor, which had left our daughter feeling dejected and despondent around learning to drive. Even though you explained how busy you were, you agreed to provide support to us. Right from the first lesson we could see the difference. Our daughter came home buzzing with excitement and never stopped talking about how much you made her do, and all the help you gave. The handouts, the videos, the practical tips was nothing like she had received before. Having sat in a few lessons with you, you even coached me on how to help our daughter improve. Your calm, professional and positive approach throughout, reignited our daughters desire to learn to drive. Your honest feedback throughout was a constant source of encouragement which allowed our daughter to build trust in you creating the perfect environment in which to learn and excel by following your advice.
Choosing an trusted instructor for your child is a big step, but we are so pleased to have found a truly first class professional service which we would not hesitate in recommending to anyone in the future.
we wish “pass with Phil” all the very best for the future.

Massive congratulations go to Jess, who passed her driving test today at the 1st attempt and with only 2 driver faults. Outstanding drive and your mirrors were just amazing.
It´s been an absolute pleasure taking you for lessons, enjoy your independence and stay safe 👏👏👏
