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,

AMELIA K

Passed first time
Huge congratulations go to Amelia, who passed her driving test this morning at the first attempt and with only 7 driver faults. She joins my exclusive club of passing both theory and driving tests first time. Well done Meelie, it´s been an absolute pleasure taking you for lessons, enjoy your independence and stay safe 👋👋👋

I started learning with Phil after about 2 years of learning to drive. Due to covid and moving away I took a long break from learning, but came back to learn with the very best. Phil is not only a great instructor, but such a lovely guy - will miss the dad jokes!! He explains everything so clearly, he’s extremely motivating and has taught me how to drive safely. I actually really looked forward to my driving lessons which was a new feeling for me! I’ve gone through so many test cancellations through lockdown and two fails in the past. I really need to be able to drive for my work, and have spent nearly a year having to restrict my work and rely on others to help me get around - I feel like I have so much freedom now. To pass with no driver faults was something I didn’t think I would be able to achieve, and I definitely wouldn´t have without all the help from Phil. I will miss our lessons so much, but I am sure we will stay in touch 🙂

Massive congratulations go to Alice who not only passed her driving test today but did it with zero, yes, no driver faults. Absolutely fantastic. Well done Alice, all the hard work has paid off.
It´s been an absolute pleasure taking you for lessons, enjoy your independence and stay safe 👏👏👏👌

EMILY B

I started my lessons with Phil in summer 2020, after having a few lessons when I was younger and being terrified because everything was done so quickly. I found driving incredibly stressful and difficult, it did not come naturally to me at all! I found that other instructors weren´t very good at explaining things in a way I could understand, but this was never the case with Phil. Phil took everything slowly with me and kept me really calm, and gradually built my confidence up. He is not only a brilliant instructor, but a lovely person too and makes you feel so at ease and comfortable. I had a lot of breaks with my driving due to COVID and being away at uni, and every time I came back Phil always managed to fit me in for lessons and never once let me down.
I suffer with anxiety, particularly in tests/exams and as a result it took me four attempts to pass my test. Phil always encouraged me after each one and believed in me and my driving even when I felt like giving up. He helped me so much and never made me feel bad for making silly errors because of nerves. Could not recommend him more to anybody, but particularly if you are a nervous driver as I honestly don´t think i would have made it this far without his support. I am on cloud nine today and it is all thanks to him!

Huge congratulations and I mean Huge, go to Emily, who passed her test this morning and she won´t mind me telling you, at the 4th attempt.
Emily is a great driver but has terrible nerves with any tests she does, not just driving. The nerves and anxiety are at top levels.
We´ve had good lessons, bad lessons and tears of frustration and today, tears of happiness.
She is a fantastic example to us all, of never giving up, learning from each mistake and working harder to get it right, and finally succeeding.
Well done you, really proud.
It´s been an absolute pleasure taking you for lessons, enjoy your independence and stay safe 👏👏👏👏👏👏
