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!

My daughter found Hanna to be a friendly, patient, and comfortable person to be in a car with whilst teaching. She has a great ability to put you at ease whilst being firm and knowledgeable and always giving clear instruction. My daughter passed first time. I would highly recommend Hanna to anyone who wishes to learn to drive.

So today i passed my driving test and i can't thank Johnathan Phillips enough for all your hard work getting me up to scratch to take my test, but most of all believing in me and building my confidence. Jon is one of the best, he's very professional and straight talking. He gave me so much confidence and taught me to believe in myself again. i'm that girl that was terrified to even go in a car let alone be good enough to pass my test first time round. I unfortunately had a tragedy happen in my family and didn't go in a car for over two years and now look i have just passed my test and it's all thanks to you Jon, I truly mean that thank you so much x

Thank you Hanna for your patience, flexibility and kindness. Learning to drive wasn’t always my favourite activity but Hanna always went out of her way to create a relaxed and calm learning environment. She is very easy to talk to and from our first lesson together I always felt she had my best interests in mind. Thank you for helping me pass first time!
