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,

Had this lovely review sent over from Nellie who passed her test yesterday at the 1st attempt. Thank you so much 🙏🙏
Honestly couldn’t recommend pass with Phil enough! From my very first lesson he’s been so patient, encouraging and genuinely lovely. He explains everything really clearly and never makes you feel stupid for getting something wrong, which makes such a massive difference when you’re learning.
He’s always been really supportive and has helped me build up my confidence so much. Even when I’ve been nervous or made mistakes, he’s stayed calm and positive and somehow makes learning to drive actually enjoyable 😂
I genuinely feel like I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ xxx

I´ve just had this lovely review sent to me from the mum of Nellie, who passed her test yesterday at the 1st attempt
Thank you so much Kath, it´s so nice of you 😊
Hi Phil
What can I say... Nellie was so nervous about starting driving lessons, after the first lesson with you she came home absolutely buzzing and said how kind and reassuring you were.
Things went on from strength to strength and her confidence and ability to drive improved after every lesson.
Your gentle approach to teaching and helping Nellie navigate the stresses of driving really paid off with a first time pass.
Your professionalism is second to none and your constant feedback was invaluable.
Nellie will miss your lessons and your jokes that kept her smiling and at ease.
We would highly recommend you to anybody.
So thankyou for all you have done,
It will be a sad day when Buxton´s finest retires.
Cheerio for now....
See you soon for some motorway lessons

What can I say !
I´d like to thank Clare for sending me this lovely review after her daughter Jenna passed her test this week at the 1st attempt. Thank you so much 🙏😊
Simply the best! All three of my children have passed with Phil. From the moment I met him, I knew he´d do a cracking job and I was completely right! Phil has a natural way of relaxing learners, so that they are able to drive to the best of their ability in as calm a state as possible...Questionable jokes brilliant driving instructor 😁

Thank you so much to Jenna, who´s sent me this review after passing her test this week at the first attempt.
Nothing wrong with my jokes !!!! 😂
I was quite nervous before starting to learn to drive, I´m quite shy and I don´t find it especially easy to start conversations. Really quickly, Phil made me feel relaxed. He was really calming and stayed very calm and professional if I did anything wrong, which really helped me! He never made me feel like he´d ever get mad at me. I also needed really clear instructions and he gave them very clearly, telling me everything I needed to know. I would literally recommend Phil to anyone with any personality, he just adapts well and fits the person. Already missing my lessons but having got so tired of his jokes, I made sure I passed first time so I didn´t have to listen to any more 🥱£
