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 would recommend Phil to anyone! He makes learning to drive a lot of fun and he is really relaxed about everything. My first lesson, I was nervous about it all, but Phil brought out my confidence and independence to drive. So friendly, you can ask any questions or talk to Phil about anything. Becomes a good friend as well as a good instructor!
I have gone through a lot recently and no matter what, Phil was motivating me and helped me to pass! I cannot speak highly enough of how good Phils driving lessons are, definitely something I looked forward to each week!
Looking for a great driving instructor, look no further!
Can’t thank you enough Phil! Sure couldn’t have done it without you!!

" I can honestly say that learning to drive with Phil is one of the best choices I have ever made and I definitely couldn´t imagine learning with anyone else! Driving with Phil isn´t just a driving lesson every week and that´s your lot, its so much more! He goes above and beyond to help you from step one. His help with theory, handouts and lesson briefings are excellent and extremely helpful, all of which he does in his own time! Never during my driving lessons has he ever made me feel uncomfortable or made me do something I wasn´t capable of doing and the belief he has in his learners is genuinely heartwarming. Some days I may not have felt like driving and sometimes things were difficult and frustrating but having Phil beside me made everything a thousand times better. Not once did he ever shout if I did something wrong, he simply went over what I needed to change and helped me to perfect it! He is always full of conversation, great stories and amazing banter

which is brilliant when you´re nervous as hell. Without a doubt every one of my lessons was enjoyable and I always looked forwarded to them. I´m so glad to have learnt with such a great, kind, helpful and amazing man who sure as hell knows how to do his job!!! I would 100000000000000% recommend Phil to anybody who is looking to start driving because you will honestly have a great time and make a friend for life! Words can´t explain how much i´m going to miss my lessons but I must use this pink license you allowed me to achieve!
I really cant thank you enough Phil. Thank you for putting up with my stubbornness and believing in me at times where I wanted to give up or scream and also thanks for putting up with all my stupid nervous habits. Keep doing what you´re doing because you´re an absolute star! See you around pal!

"Learning to drive with Phil has been nothing short of brilliant, I really enjoyed every lesson we had -
I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to learn themselves. His patience is outstanding, especially regarding theory tests and stupid mistakes. The support and motivation he
offers is fantastic, with the briefings he sends after each lesson telling you what went well and what you need to improve on. Phil is also extremely approachable helpful and always up for a laugh. I’d definitely give five stars, thanks so much, Phil"

I was extremely nervous and uninterested in learning to drive and only decided to try out a lesson as i felt that i really needed to learn for my independence. As soon as i got in the car for the first time everything changed. Phil puts you at ease straight away, he is so chilled and easy to get on with. Every lesson is full of laughs (and the occasional tear) but i know i looked forward to each lesson so much each week! The lessons are not easy and definitely push you but you never feel uncomfortable or over stressed.
Phil goes above and beyond to make sure you get the most out of the lessons, he sends you briefings after each session which tell you what went well and what you will be working on next time. He is always there 24/7 if you have any questions and is really approachable so you always feel that you can ask anything and not feel silly.
Phil also helps you with the theory test, he gives you access to a useful website on which he can monitor your results and will make time to help you if you are unsure of certain areas.
Phil gives 110% in everything, i am so glad i chose to learn with him and because of him i passed my theory and practical first time! I can not speak highly enough of him and would definitely recomend him to anyone!

Well where do I start? Phil is a legend in the making and clearly knows what he is doing. He has helped me so much to become a good driver and helped me pass my test 1st time. Phil is a man with lots of patience and is one of the most kind and genuine blokes around. If I was having a bad lesson or making mistakes he would never shout at you, he would just talk you through it and always tell you how the mistakes can be made better.
Phil isn´t short of any banter either haha, he does nothing but make you laugh for the duration of your lessons and he helps keep nerves away. He isn´t short of conversation and has many stories to tell.
Thank you so much for helping me pass my test but more importantly become a good and safe driver! I am very grateful for all the help you gave me and you really are a good man. I would definitely recommend people to take their lessons with Phil if you want to be a good driver.
Cheers mate! Stay safe and keep up the good work.
