Toyota C-HR

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!

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.

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.
