Came to Paul with low motivation on driving, I started in January and booked my test the same year in august and I passed first time with Paul's patience and brill teaching. He recognised what I needed to work on and made sure I was confident in those elements in a short space of time. Extremely grateful as I'm now on the road and have a love for driving which I never thought I would have :)))

Jake HarrisonJake Harrison
1st Time Pass
I started learning with Paul around May 21, being a complete novice and relatively anxious / nervous driver, Paul made me feel at ease in the car. He made concepts that I never thought I’d be able to do, seem simple. Given all of the challenges faced by everyone due to the pandemic and COVID related restrictions. I faced the same issues throughout my learning experience but we managed to pull through, and cover everything in time for my test in September 21. Which I’m pleased to say I passed first time! Paul’s a top bloke with some great stories too that are both interesting and sometimes hilarious! Give him a call if you want to learn in a relaxed and comfortable environment. Genuinely cheers for the help Paul, really have appreciated you getting me through the test! Going to make my life so much easier!

Passed first time and all down to Paul, When I didn't understand certain manoeuvres Paul always tried to explain it differently till I understood which helped a lot. When i got behind the wheel i was always nervous but a few minutes into the driving lesson I wasn't as nervous and was able to relax as he was very calm and patient with me. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive as he is a great instructor and I wouldn't of passed first time if it wasn’t for Paul.

Learning with Paul, he never misses a lesson and is always on time. When driving he kept me very calm even when I did things wrong I would always know how to correct them straight away. When I didn’t understand he would help me with any questions I had. I made sure that this time with my driving I passed my theory test first and managed to pass on Friday 13th I also passed my driving test on Friday 13th but not the same day. Would highly recommend driving with Paul.

I passed my test first time with Paul as my instructor. When I started lessons, I was very anxious and nervous about driving at all. Throughout my time learning to drive, I have learnt a great deal from Paul, he is patient, calm but constructive which is what I needed in order to progress and eventually pass my test. The lessons are well planned out and are tailored to your skills and progress. I would highly recommend Paul as an instructor to anyone, particularly anyone very nervous or anxious around the idea of driving such as myself.

Emma DowningEmma Downing

Passed first time! During the time spent learning to drive with Paul, I felt his teaching skills were very professional as an instructor. However, I was still able to feel relaxed behind the wheel, as well as having a laugh here and there! Paul clearly teaches you above test standard so that when it comes to the test you are well prepared, therefore resulting in a great result.

Paul is a brilliant instructor, very calm and laidback, which helps massively with the learning process. He’s very knowledgeable, and prepares you not just for your test but for afterwards too. I have now at writing just passed (first time!) which is all down to Paul, I’m a very nervous person and this day didn’t ever feel possible, but he’s certainly helped me to find my confidence. I now feel confident to take the next steps in getting on the road, gaining more and more experience to be an able and safe driver and look forward to having the freedom to venture out. Ultimately I’m happy and glad I chose Paul as my instructor. I would definitely recommend him.

Having previously had lessons with another instructor I felt I wasn’t making any progress. So I contacted Paul, it was the best decision I could have made. I would highly recommend Paul as he is calm and helps if you don't understand something. He takes his time explaining different manoeuvres and he makes sure you get it before moving on. 

Walter HolmesWalter Holmes

Paul has been a fantastic instructor. He knows exactly how to explain processes and techniques of driving to get the most out of his students. Furthermore he has always been friendly and level headed during lessons - even after mishaps. If there was a star rating to be given, it would be a 5.

I highly recommend Paul for driving lessons. I was nervous when I started but Paul's relaxed but professional manner allowed me to overcome this and gain confidence behind the wheel, while also having a laugh and enjoying the whole experience. I felt like I was making progress with every lesson and learning new skills throughout. Paul's unique style of teaching made some of the more advanced driving techniques such as parallel parking really easy to understand and perform. Having passed my driving test first time I would recommend Paul to anyone.

Wendy PrestonWendy Preston
Achieved my goal
I had my first driving lesson 42 years ago and had lessons on and off, but never took a test. I hadn’t had a lesson for over 20 years when I found Paul’s website and decided to go for it! Best decision I have ever made. He is a very calm, reassuring instructor who inspires confidence – something that I was severely lacking. His instruction is clear and he goes at a pace that suits you. He made me feel at ease and never made me feel uncomfortable or useless, even though my skills were severely lacking at times. He always saw the positive side! I would recommend him to anyone who is considering learning to drive. He got me through – no one else has managed that! Thank You Paul.

Passed with 0 driver faults. I highly recommend Paul for quality driving lessons. Paul isn't just bothered about getting you through the test, he teaches you how to drive properly so you are well prepared for driving after the practical test. Paul is very professional but can still have a laugh which helps put you at ease. He supports you when required, and doesn't get frustrated with you when you make mistakes. This helps boost your confidence. I had weekly lessons which allowed me to progress efficiently. Fully recommend Paul to anyone looking to learn to drive properly.

Having started and stopped driving lessons several times since the age of 17, I finally managed to pass my test first time with Paul's help. I had always been a nervous driver, and with encouragement from Paul this gradually lessened. He has an incredible amount of patience, but also knows when to give the right push! I would highly recommend Paul as an instructor and I know I will now be a calm and confident driver! I can now drive to see my family whenever I please which has given me so much freedom!

Emily RidoutEmily Ridout
1st Time Pass
After successfully passing my driving test first time with Paul I really enjoyed the fact that if I made mistakes on my lessons with him, he reassured me and gave me the confidence to continue and progress further. The areas I found hard on my lessons were to obtain the bite of the vehicle and bay parking, but again having Paul by Mysore each week, he gave me the courage and support to overcome these fears. Seeing me through my time as a learner driver, Paul has always motivated me, no task was too big for him to sort out. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone thinking of learning to drive. I couldn’t have done it without him. Thank You for everything Paul.😀

Connor BatemanConnor Bateman
Passed 1st Time
To start with, I’d like to say how much of an excellent driving instructor Paul was. My previous experience with another local driving instructor left me unhappy and unsure on driving lessons. But after getting back behind the wheel with Paul, my confidence and interest in driving came back. Even though throughout my driving lessons I had intentions of giving up and also a negative mind set, Paul managed to pick me back up in my times of self doubt. His interpersonal skills were next to none and I managed to form a very close student to mentor bond with Paul that helped me seven fold. Paul is an excellent teacher with the Patience of a saint. Cheers for putting up with me Paul! 😊 Connor.

Charlotte KirkCharlotte Kirk
I highly recommend lessons with Paul and I feel that from my lessons he didn’t just teach me to pass the test, he taught me to become a safe driver and feel comfortable driving my car by myself once I passed. During lessons he didn’t waste time and every lesson was useful and enjoyable. His teaching method was good and he made sure I understood everything and was very flexible with fitting lessons in with my busy schedule.

Driving lessons with Paul were highly informative and were a great help when it came to knowing what was required for the test. I feel it would have taken me rather longer to pass the test, had I not had assertive encouragement from Paul.

James Rule - Thornton Le DaleJames Rule - Thornton Le Dale
First Time Pass
I passed first time with 0 minors which I was obviously delighted about. I had never driven a car before my first lesson with Paul. The first lesson was ideal for me as we just started by moving off and stopping in the car park. From then the lessons increased in difficulty which I found excellent and I improved very quickly since I had never driven before. If ever I made a mistake Paul was always very relaxed and calm about it which meant I was very relaxed and meant I just carried on and didn't worry about the mistake. I found this the best part about my lessons as before I started I was scared of making mistakes but Paul was very relaxed and often shared a joke afterwards about it which was ideal for me. Paul was the perfect instructor for me and I would definitely recommend him.

Adam Horvath - KirkbymoorsideAdam Horvath - Kirkbymoorside
Paul has been incredible in helping me get from two wheels to four, his approach on every lesson was fantastic, he kept me at a level where I was constantly challenged, pushing me onwards into becoming a safer driver, his way of teaching enabled me to progress in ways I couldn't of imagined, through all my bad habits of looking over the bonnet to see my position on the road to underestimating gaps (all from using a scooter as my main form of transport), I'm now able to get out in a car safely and actually be dry for a change.

Me and my little family thank you, its been an absolute pleasure learning how to drive from you and I can now continue to learn as I drive on the roads independently, keeping all the safety aspects you taught me to take my family to places new!

George Jackson - NawtonGeorge Jackson - Nawton
The lessons that I had with Paul were always enjoyable. He would always go back over anything that I wasn’t sure about and he would always try to get me to a stage where I felt confident with everything. He also didn’t waste time during the lessons which meant that I could pass quickly first time and also feel able to drive alone after the test. I would recommend Paul to anyone wanting to learn to drive.

Jo Keogh - PickeringJo Keogh - Pickering

Paul is an amazing driving instructor and I would highly recommend learning to drive with him. From the very first lesson he put me at ease, giving me just enough of a challenge to make sure I was progressing; without overloading me or leaving me with a negative experience. Paul teaches you the skills you need to drive day-to-day, not just how to pass your test - it must have worked because I passed first time! Thanks Paul.

Joe Dunnett - AllerstonJoe Dunnett - Allerston
Would recommend Paul to anyone! He was brilliant to have as he made lessons enjoyable, but he was also very flexible with times and was able to fit my lessons around my full time football training!

Nikki Long - MaltonNikki Long - Malton
Paul is a very friendly and patient instructor. I found when things went wrong, he would reassure me which I found very helpful, as I tended to panic while driving. Learning with Paul helped me gain the confidence and self belief I needed to pass my driving test first time. His lessons are centred entirely around you as an individual, allowing you to go at a pace you feel comfortable, although he will push when necessary to allow you to reach your full diving potential. I would recommend Paul to anyone wanting to learn to drive.

Abigail Learoyd - NortonAbigail Learoyd - Norton
I took the semi intensive course with Paul which gave me multiple lessons a week helping me remember manoeuvres easier. In addition to the 30 hours the semi intensive course includes a driving workbook describing in depth every manoeuvre. I used the workbook before and after lessons to further my understanding. I would recommended Paul to other learner drivers as the lessons are productive and reflect you individually through working on the aspects your less confident with.

Imogen Hackett - Hutton Le HoleImogen Hackett - Hutton Le Hole
I would definitely recommend Paul to anyone learning to drive. All of the lessons were productive and he was a very friendly and encouraging instructor who has made me a confident driver. His teaching was very thorough and I felt really prepared for my test. A great driving instructor!

Paul is a brilliant driving instructor as he is very friendly and patient. He gave me the confidence I needed to pass my test and felt I could ask him about anything I was unsure of. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone who wants to learn to drive. Thanks for everything Paul!

Paul was a really patient driving instructor, and was really encouraging any time I had a bad day and got frustrated with myself. He's very accommodating with lesson times, and also has high standards which he ensures you have reached by test day, meaning that when you pass you will already be a safer driver than many others. I would highly recommend Paul, and my sister is learning to drive with him already!

As a learner driver I was incredibly nervous both in a car and around other cars on the road. Paul was very patient with me and tried not to push me too far to dent my confidence whilst still making progress. He made me feel safe and I knew I could trust him when I was learning new things. We thought up a plan of regular and often lessons to suit me with the times and days of my choice. I was always provided with a good summary of how the lesson went, what went well, areas that I needed to improve and what to practice for next time which for me worked really well. I went from that scared learner driver who jumped at every car to a confident and competent 'first time pass' driver in two months.

Hi all who are thinking about learning to drive, my name is Kati I am a headstrong and stubborn women and I been learning to drive with Paul. Paul has been extremely patient with me and quickly taught me the basics of driving. He has stood by me through my lack of confidence and my bad days when the lesson didn't seem to sink in. I highly recommend Paul to anyone, especially if you need someone who keep you focused and guide you in the right direction. Thanks for everything Paul.

I found Paul to be very patient. He helped when I needed him to but pushed me enough in order to walk away from my lessons feeling like I achieved something. If we found something I couldn't do, he encouraged me that I can. I thoroughly enjoyed the lessons as he catered them to what I individually needed to improve on and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good instructor.

Paul is a very professional and friendly driving instructor. He is always on time for lessons and is enthusiastic about driving, making him the perfect choice of instructor for a nervous teenager learning to drive. He also makes lessons enjoyable but is also keen to tell you how to improve to get the best results on test day. I would definitely recommend him!!

I've had a great experience learning to drive with Paul, I've developed so many great skills, I started of not knowing how to even turn an engine on and in no time I've passed my test. Paul is a very polite helpful person and makes you feel comfortable. I will defiantly pass on your number to anyone I know who wants to learn how to drive, (I passed with no faults) brilliant instructor!

Paul is a brilliant instructor, very friendly and always pushing you in the right direction by finding ways you can improve and become a better driver in the end, if you made a mistake he was very patient and reassuring. Lessons were productive, and tailored in a way that no matter how fast you learn you would always be learning something new or be polishing up on skills that had already been learned and were always fun. I would definitely recommend Paul to anyone looking for a good instructor.

I really enjoyed my driving lessons with Paul, he is a brilliant teacher and he is patient with you. He is easy to get along with and he has a good sense of hummer. Paul is very reasonable as I experienced because I had to change the day/time of my driving lessons most weeks due to being at work but as long as I gave Paul enough notice of the change he would always try his best to work around it. Paul gives good advice on the lessons on how to improve your driving to make you an overall safer driver and to help you pass your test. I would defiantly recommend Paul to anyone that wants to learn to drive.

I found that Paul was an excellent instructor who pushed me when I needed it giving me confidence that I could succeed at every aspect needed for the test. He was patient and structured the lessons as to what he felt I needed to practice and kept me motivated throughout. I would definately recommend him.

Having already learnt with 2 instructors previously, I found Paul was friendly and supportive and really helpful in getting me to test standard in a short space of time. The LD workbook was great to back up the practical skills learnt in my lessons; it was especially useful for recapping the manoeuvres. Now that I have passed my driving test and feel confident in my driving abilities and can't wait to get my first car. I would recommend Paul to anyone wanting to learn to drive.

I found Paul friendly and patient so I was relaxed and was able to enjoy the lessons, I also felt I could ask him if I needed something explaining further. Paul ensured I worked on the areas I needed to improve before my driving test to sure I was fully prepared.
