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,

Phil is not only an exceptional driving instructor, he is also fantastic at inspiring confidence in his pupils.
I started off nervous after struggling to drive a car in the past, through patience and motivation Phil transformed me into a safe and sure-footed driver. His focus on improving hazard perception allows learners to easily understand and predict the dangers on the road. One of the most prominent aspects of his teaching technique is constant communication and feedback, on approach to junctions he will guide you through all the steps necessary to safely carry out the manoeuvre. As the lessons progress he holds back, allowing you to become accustomed to judging a situation by yourself.
Phil is also fantastic company in the car and available at any time via email or by phone.
I will miss the fun of the lessons and wish all his students the very best.
Thanks Phil.

Learning to drive with Phil has been a great experience, I always felt relaxed with him and he’s super easy to talk and calmed my nerves every time that I had a little panic. He was supportive in every way, from giving me useful tips for when I would be out on my own, dropping a text when I’d had a good lesson and even helping me sort out difficult situations I was facing away from driving! Phil went the extra mile that other friend’s instructors certainly didn’t, this included the lesson briefings after lessons and the theory test pro which was a great tool when preparing for my theory test. Phil is always so enthusiastic in the car and when I finally was able to do a left reverse he was just as over the moon as I was; to have someone that it there to encourage you as well has teach you to learn to drive has been incredible, Phil has so much passion for teaching and this really comes across in the car, he doesn’t just want to get you through your test, but give you the skills that will enable you to safely drive and drive well once you are out on the road on your own. The confidence that I have gained in my own ability, both in driving and other aspects have been down to the continued support Phil has given me since I began to drive with him the February. I can’t thank him enough for the vital skills that I have been taught and are helping me every time I go out in the car. Actually going to really miss lessons with Phil, despite the thrill of being able to now drive on my own. Thank you for everything Phil!!

Phil has been the best driving instructor ever. I have always felt that him teaching people to drive is more like his passion than his job, and every time you get something right for the first time such as a manoeuvre, he gets the same buzz as you do! He has always been supportive and encouraging and always taught me to believe in my ability to drive. Not only is he an amazing instructor, he is also someone you know you could talk to about anything because hes always there to listen and try to understand. The extra support outside of the lessons was also so helpful as he gives you a lesson briefing and handouts after every lesson which you can go over and reflect on, and the theory test pro helped me to pass my theory test first time! So thanks Phil for all the support and all the fun, miss you already!

Thank you to Phil on helping me pass my test, I really wouldn’t be the more confident driver I am today without him. From the start I was very nervous and his supportive and encouraging nature helped me to soon develop the confidence I needed on the road. Phil encouraged me to use the Theory test pro and I couldn’t have passed my theory test without it. It was a great interactive tool that Phil provides which was so helpful. Not only did he teach me how to pass my test, he taught me how to drive by understanding the affects of situations and reacting/solving problems, which I needed to use on my test! Every step of the way was a great laugh and I will miss him very much! I would recommend him to anyone, thank you Pass with Phil.

Phil is an absolute legend not only is he a fantastic instructor, he´s a great friend, he makes you feel comfortable whilst driving, as well as driving he also helps massively with driving theory stuff, going to miss the banter with him, again a really great instructor who goes over every aspect of driving. I wish you good luck for the future, and hope to bump into you soon but not literally!
Cheers for everything Phil its been great learning with you
