I highly recommend Peter Goat. Passed first time with him. He was so helpful, flexible, and chilled! I enjoyed every lesson with him and look forward to a 'lifetime of safe driving' as a result of his tutorage.

Gaia was an incredible driving instructor. As someone who suffers from anxiety and was very anxious about driving Gaia helped to make the experience far easier for me. She’s calm and patient as well as being friendly and supportive. I’m so glad I had such a kind instructor who led me and many others to passing.

Robyn is an incredibly talented instructor. She explains all the concepts incredibly clearly. I was quite an anxious learner and she set me at ease and allowed me to drive safely with confidence. I have had some Bad experiences with driving before and Robyn was exactly the opposite- she was calm and patient. I would 100% recommend her to others.

I highly recommend Robyn Philips as a driving instructor! Robyn was my second driving instructor and I am so glad that I swapped to her. She is kind, calm and was integral to building my driving confidence, both for the test and for driving at home. I looked forward to my lesson each week! I passed first time which was absolutely down to the excellent advice of Robyn. Thank you so much!

Robyn was lovely and caring throughout my experience learning to drive. Without her I very much doubt I would have ever passed! She goes above and beyond to improve your confidence. I would recommend her to anyone struggling or feeling anxious about driving.

I recently passed my test with Robyn Phillips and I highly recommend her as an instructor. I didn't expect to pass so quickly but she is a fantastic teacher. Robyn was super patient in her teaching method. I passed my test but can also say that I am now confident with driving, something I've not experienced before.

Jonathan taught my son to drive (and he passed first time). Jonathan was extremely professional as well as being kind, patient and supportive, and my son loved his lessons. He always came home very positive and upbeat. I would highly recommend Jonathan as a driving instructor (hopefully he will be available to teach my younger son when he's ready to learn to drive)!

I had Jonathan Phillips as my instructor, he is a really nice man and incredibly supportive. His teaching style was perfect as he was patient and encouraging throughout the lessons. I passed first time with just 1 minor and would highly recommend him as a driving instructor.

5stars !!!! My son says he couldn't have wished for a better driving instructor! Robyn is patient and kind, and current! So her communication with the younger learners is spot on. She makes them feel comfortable and confident My son passed first time with only one minor, this is testament to Robyn's teaching. First class and highly recommended!! 5****

Peter Goat was my instructor - highly recommend! I'd had previous experience driving vehicles on farms and after 6x 2h lessons I passed first time with no faults. Peter was really helpful and was always direct and to the point with everything that we worked on, so we didn't waste any time at all. Worth every penny!
