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 chose Phil as my driving instructor because my sister (who passed first time with him) absolutely raved about him as a teacher and as a lovely, kind person. After passing my test with only 2 minor faults I can say that she was completely right! I started off a very nervous driver, but Phil always put me at ease and through his reassurance and confidence in me as a driver, I became confident in myself. Phil made driving lessons fun with his horrendous jokes and was never strict, as I know some instructors can be. He even turned mistakes into positives by helping me to learn from them, rather than worry about them. Phil made learning to drive a really positive and enjoyable experience for me and as a result I am confident in my skills as a safe driver and would say I have gained a friend. I would recommend Pass with Phil to anyone.

"I found Phil on a search for local driving instructors in Buxton, he had good reviews and seemed very professional so I got in contact and I am so glad I did! He messaged me back almost straight away and was very accommodating of my situation – I hadn’t driven for over two years and was nervous to get back behind the wheel. Phil sent me handouts over email to read before my lesson to refresh what I already knew and these helped massively, along with his unique style of teaching. Phil equips you with easy to learn tools for manoeuvres and driving in general and teaches in a calming and reassuring manner. He has made me feel a confident and safe driver and I know that he would be happy to help if I ever needed it again. I would recommend Pass With Phil to anybody! Thank you Phil"

A friend suggested Pass with Phil to me when I was struggling with another instructor. Driving wasn´t something I enjoyed and I would often return from a lesson unhappy and dreading the next one. With Phil however, the opposite is true; from the start he encouraged me, reassured me, and made me laugh to the point I actually looked forward to lessons.
Phil is very patient and explained any mistakes so that I understood why they happened and then how to correct them. His positive disposition stopped me dwelling on those mistakes so I could carry on and ultimately pass.
Phil sends out handouts summarising each lesson which are useful as they allow you to see where improvements can be made and reflect on them in preparation for the next lesson and the test.
Would 100% recommend him to anyone. Thank you for everything Phil!

You should all go with Phil! He´s a great instructor and I´m so glad I went with him, always a happy chappy and makes the lessons fun and enjoyable! The hand outs and lesson briefings are helpful and Phil will ensure your confident with driving and will go over things as many times as you need! Phil is a super star!⭐️

Passed first time
"Passed first time thanks to Phil !
He is very friendly and has a positive attitude to the lessons. We always stuck to the basics and ensured my driving was safe. His lesson handouts are very helpful as they tell you about how the lesson went that day and prepare you for your next lesson . Would definitely recommend him to anyone as he is a great instructor! Thanks Phil :)"
