He helped build my confidence and I've really enjoyed learning to drive with him. Five stars!" |

![]() | Angela Patrone - Newbury Manual "I cannot recommend Peter Skelton Driving School enough! Peter is an excellent driving instructor whose friendly and is such an easy person to get along with. He taught me everything I needed to know whilst making the lessons really enjoyable. I now feel confident to drive on my own and it was an honour to have you as my driving instructor. Thank you so much!" |
![]() | Faye Lesley - Newbury Manual "I have had 6 instructors in all (not because I'm difficult, just have moved all over the place!) And Peter was the last instructor I had, and hands down, the best. He has the perfect rate of teaching actively and teaching at the roadside (minimal) which I had found was overdone with some other instructors. He will let you learn for yourself, adapt to your style, and will help you perfect it all for when it matters! I put it down to Peter entirely that in a family full of second time passers I managed to pass first time, and would recommend him to absolutely anyone..... plus he's a joy to drive around with! He also managed to accommodate my crazy schedule and general unavailability and that's a feat in itself ...." |
