"I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. Peter was superb with his communication and explanations, patience and good humour. He taught me completely from scratch and helped me to pass my test first time. I really developed my understanding and confidence in my lessons with him, and will always remember his funny driving rhymes! Thank you Peter"

"I just wanted to message to thank you for all your help in getting me my license. I managed to pass with 2 minors so I'm very pleased with that, and I couldn't have done it without you. I'm so sorry to hear the news about your dad and hope you and your family are all doing okay. Thank you again and maybe I'll see you on the roads in the future :)"

I am now confident in approaching roundabouts, bay parkings etc which wouldnt have been possible before. I will definitely pass on this feedback to my friends and family."
Emily Beck - Manual
"Thrilled to have passed my manual driving test first time today with Peter! He's been fantastic at personalising my driving lessons to meet my needs/areas for improvement as a learner and making sure that every base was covered for my test, so that I was able to enter the test feeling calm, prepared and in control. A huge thank you to Peter for preparing me not just for my test but for the road in general!"

Charlie Collins - Manual
"I've had Peter as my driving instructor, he is honestly the best person to go to for driving. I've just passed today in a manual and it is the best feeling! I HIGHLY recommend him, especially if you're a nervous or anxious driver. He's so calming and if you get anything wrong, he's there to help and guid! Honestly, the BEST person to pick."
Clare Caroll - Manual
"My eldest daughter had lessons with Peter back in 2020. My youngest daughter began lessons with Louise Hicks in April 2024. She really enjoyed her lessons and quickly built up her confidence. Louise was always flexible and accommodated her college schedule. She was ready to take her test by July. After navigating the DVSA and test swaps my daughter passed her test last week (September 2024). Would highly recommend Peter and his team of instructors."

and from her mum Helen:
"Hi Peter, this is Helen Simmons, Graces Mum.
Thank you so very much for all your support of Grace through the learning process, at times her anxiety can be overwhelming and your approach with her has been fantastic. Really appreciate you taking the time to understand what works for her....she hasn't always had that.
She is on cloud 9! So happy that she passed & has just left the house to do short drive to her boyfriends house......terrifying for me but awesome for her 😀
Thanks again.
Helen"
