I started my lessons with Phil in summer 2020, after having a few lessons when I was younger and being terrified because everything was done so quickly. I found driving incredibly stressful and difficult, it did not come naturally to me at all! I found that other instructors weren´t very good at explaining things in a way I could understand, but this was never the case with Phil. Phil took everything slowly with me and kept me really calm, and gradually built my confidence up. He is not only a brilliant instructor, but a lovely person too and makes you feel so at ease and comfortable. I had a lot of breaks with my driving due to COVID and being away at uni, and every time I came back Phil always managed to fit me in for lessons and never once let me down.
I suffer with anxiety, particularly in tests/exams and as a result it took me four attempts to pass my test. Phil always encouraged me after each one and believed in me and my driving even when I felt like giving up. He helped me so much and never made me feel bad for making silly errors because of nerves. Could not recommend him more to anybody, but particularly if you are a nervous driver as I honestly don´t think i would have made it this far without his support. I am on cloud nine today and it is all thanks to him!
