Pupils Testimonials


Candice Stockwell 1st time pass
"Learning to drive with you was one of the best decisions I could have made. I passed first time in an amazing four months. You can see how passionate you are about your job and it was never about just getting me to pass, you want all your pupils to be good and safe drivers. Not only did you prepare me for my test, you prepared me for everything that comes after when there would no longer be someone in the car telling me what to do. Although you always made sure no lessons were wasted, I looked forward to every one as they were always good fun. I cannot thank you enough- and I would reccomend you to anyone learning to drive."

Matt Sanders 2nd time pass
"I passed my driving test on the second go, with only two minors. The instruction I received from Peter was second to none, and I intend to carry on with pass plus with him next year. Lessons were always fun and never stressful or pressured and I look forward to more lessons with him soon."

Martin Hitchcott 1st time pass
"I found that all the revision that peter gives you in a folder really helps. also when i took my test this time last year peter sat in the car with me which also did help my confidence. i passed first time with only 3 minors. peter is the man to go with."

Peter Couling 1st time pass
"Hi. I just wanted to say thanks for everyting. I'm really happy to have passed :)"

Sarah Hitchcox 1st time pass
"I never thought learning to drive could be so enjoyable. Peter Skelton's tuition was second to none, relaxed but firm with full explanations. This was without a doubt, the sole reason why i managed to pass first time with just one minor. He was always patient, taught me thoroughly and was great company at the same time. He always finds new and interesting ways to make you remember things, which have stuck with me to this day. I can honestly say i enjoyed every minute of learning how to drive and would not hesitate to personally recommend Peter to anyone."

Virginia Crane refresher lessons
"Dear Peter,
I am writing to thank you for your patience and guidance you showed over the past few weeks when you effectively enabled me to regain confidence in my driving and thus change my lifestyle.
After 10 years of relying on public transport whilst living in London, it came as quite a shock to realise that the free bus pass provided in West Berkshire, was virtually worthless as there are very few bus routes and even fewer buses to use.
First Great Western does ,of course, provide that valued direct service to Reading and London but for all other journeys, a car is essential. Although a qualified driver in the official sense, I felt that I required a “refresher” course to bring me ‘up to speed’ so to speak.
From the very first driving session with you, I began to appreciate how things had changed since I was last behind the wheel but soon rebuilt that understanding necessary to drive with awareness and authority. Your encouragement and professionalism were key factors in this development and I would truly commend your tuition to beginners and not-so-beginners like myself, for a friendly and effective learning process."


James Davis 1st time pass
"Peter's ruthlessly methodical and efficient teaching techniques are what I attribute to his particularly high pass rate for new drivers in Newbury. His memorable driving mantra's ("prepare, observe, move") will become burned into a new drivers' memory and will go a long way toward helping a driver pass their test. I would happily recommend Peter to any new driver looking to take their test in Newbury."

Tom Bull 1st time pass
"I passed first time with 4 minors, and would describe Peter as a patient and conscientious instructor, who has a great sense of humour and always has the pupils best interests first."

Ed Johnson 1st time pass
"I turned 17 on the 26th of May 07 and had my first lesson shortly after. I didn’t have much of an idea how to drive a car and thought it would take some time to get my licence. It turned out that I ended up passing my test with 2 minors on the 5th of July 07. Peters calmness, patience and excellent teaching skills were the driving force behind my passing so quickly. I have since recommended Peter to several of my close friends."

Daniel Milnes 1st time pass
"Peter is a brilliant instructor, i had 30 hours of lessons and passed my driving test 1st time with only 2 minors. he is a very pleasant person who can identify your strong points and weak points and push you in the right direction."

Alex Herriot 2nd time pass
"Peter is a fantastic driving instructor. He pushes you enough so that you learn everything he teaches and so you will become a very good driver but not so much that it appears unfriendly or aggressive. He always makes sure that not only are his pupils good enough to pass when they want to take their test but that they are above standard; that they will become safe and excellent drivers when unleashed onto the roads alone. He really cares about all his pupils and not only wants them to pass but want to make sure that they will be safe when allowed to drive on their own, and to this end I think he is a complete success. I would recommend him to anyone without a moments thought and have done so to friends of mine who all agree with me on how exceptional a teacher he is."
