I had Simon as an instructor in the Todmorden area and I absolutely would recommend both him and PSM! As I got to grips with driving, he was always very patient and helpful in guiding me with learning the basic skills, and when I got out driving on the road, he was fantastic in ensuring I was perfecting my skills, improving my all round driving and mastering specific techniques for maneuvers! By the time it came to my test I was more than ready thanks to Simon

Paul is such a great driving instructor, made me feel really comfortable and confident, considering I’m an anxious person I always looked forward to my lessons with him. Very reliable. Passed first time!

What a godsend Sadiah is! I've been trying to learn for 4 years and she got me to test level in just a few short months and built up my confidence so much I finally got that pass today! Couldn't be happier. She became more than instructor and was there as a friend. Would definitely recommend 110%
Danielle Maw
Couldn’t recommend more. I had qadar as my instructor after having a bad experience with another instructor and he honestly was the best. He taught me well and helped me be more confident on the road. Thankyou 🙂

Paul is a fantastic instructor, extremely patient and very friendly. No messing about and will get you passed as soon as possible. I’ve had a brilliant experience learning with Paul and I couldn’t have imagined learning with anyone else.

My driving instructor from PSM was fantastic. Simon was very clear, professional and honest with me the entire time. I can't recommend Simon enough, and if the other instructors at PSM are to the same standard then I'm sure anyone who chooses PSM will not be disappointed.
I will be booking my Pass Plus with PSM in the future. Thank you so much.

The wonderful, ever so patient Mohammad Asif was my driving instructor and he was amazing! I come with a lot of baggage (I have 15 years driving experience on an automatic on the opposite side of the road and I’m not terribly good). I’m happy to say that I passed first time in Nelson on a full license.

Sadiah is amazing!! Not only in just teaching but just genuinely as a person. I enjoyed my driving lessons so much and she had me extremely prepared to pass!! Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Every session we had our little gossips, our giggles, our chats and there was never a time I felt uncomfortable. She made sure I was ready and comfortable and let me be me all the time! There is never any judgement with sadiah!

I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Paul runs an organised group of driving instructors in Durham. I noticed that the aim of our lessons was always to fix errors and get me confident with driving. I would recommend Paul and his company to anyone who is looking for a patient, engaged instructor who will get you confident on the roads at a competitive pricing. I would give 6 stars if possible. Thank you Paul.
