Jess Hill's Testimonial
Jess Hill
I think the key to not only passing your driving test but also to becoming a competent driver is finding the right instructor that suits your learning style and Phil definitely ticked that box for me! From the word go, he took the time to understand the areas that I needed to work on by encouragi...

After getting a new job in Sheffield I finally decided it was about time I learnt how to drive. I had had lessons previously but still didn't feel completely confident in the car. Phil's positive feedback and calm attitude helped by giving me confidence that I was doing it right and taking me bac...

Several different friends recommended Phil to me so when I was ready to learn to drive I decided to give him a ring. Phil was a fantastic teacher and I found him down to earth and efficient. He was always calm and encouraging and helped me feel confident, even when I first started learning to dri...

Fahimeh's Testimonial
Fahimeh
Passing my driving test in the UK was a nightmare for me. As a mature driver who has driven for more than 20 years outside of the UK without any accidents, getting my driving licence looked at first like it would be easy for me. After I took some training sessions with my ex-driving instructor...

Frances Wood's Testimonial
Frances Wood
After trying two different driving instructors, with whom I failed to make much progress, I was very pleased to find Phil! Within a few months I had passed my test first time and now feel confident enough to tackle the roads on my own. Phil taught me how to drive rather than just how to pass a te...

Nick Swancott's Testimonial
Nick Swancott
Passing your driving test can be stressful and give you sleepless nights, and there are so many driving schools and academies out there so finding a really good one is difficult, but with LDC and Phil Padfield i found all my answers to my questions and my needs. Phil made everything so self expla...

Jessica Stephens's Testimonial
Jessica Stephens
Learning to drive can be a daunting experience but Phil is very calm and relaxed which immediately puts you at ease! His standard of teaching is superb; he prepares you for driving independently on the road and not just to pass your test. His teaching approach is very focused on his pupils, he le...

Sally Frith's Testimonial

Despite having no interest in driving, Phil somehow managed to keep my concentration long enough to pass 2nd time. As I am busy studying in London I had to take intensive lessons for four weeks during various holiday times. Phil was very accommodating even when I had to cancel my driving test las...

Ella Mcilwaine
Several friends recommended Phil as a driving instructor, and I am very happy that I took their advice. I previously did an intensive driving course with another company who taught me how to pass my test, but I still didn't feel happy or confident in my driving. Phil allows you to drive as you fe...

Judi Cliff's Testimonial
Judi Cliff
This is the first week of 'real' driving since passing my test last week. Despite a few nerves I have tackled the hills in Sheffield, reverse parked in the dark and braved the University Roundabout!! Many of my friends and family have been surprised by how confident I am but it comes as no surpri...

Laura Cryans's Testimonial
Laura Cryans
I came to Phil having had 2 previous instructors, having not driven for almost 3 years, and with 4 previous failed driving tests behind me. It was fair to say I felt I would never be able to pass my driving test. Although I appreciated that I could drive, I felt that passing the test itself was a...

I originally begun learning to drive with a different instructor but felt as if I wasn't making any progress and so after being highly recommended by a friend I called upon Phil. The standard of teaching was astonishing compared to my previous instructor, he was able to build my confidence and ex...

Robin Whear's Testimonial
Robin Whear
Phil takes away a lot of the pressure of learning to drive with his unfailing calmness and improves your confidence with constructive advice and regular encouragement. He has a very strong understanding of what it feels like to be a learner driver so I always felt well supported, and he carefully...

Emma Rogers's Testimonial
Emma Rogers
I really enjoyed learning to drive with Philip Padfield. It was very calm and I felt it focused both on what I needed to improve on and what I was already doing well. It's really helpful to have step by step guidance throughout each lesson with an approach which focuses on your individual areas f...

Vivky Heyes's Testimonial
Vivky Heyes
Phil was a great teacher who didn't just give me methods for learning to drive but gave me reasons for why I had to do things especially when learning to reverse and understanding when to check my mirrors! This helped me learn quickly as I understood what I was doing and why I was doing it. Ph...

Exceedingly patient and a never-ending fountain of driving wisdom, Phil always has the most straightforward and comforting advice - which is exactly what's needed when behind the wheel. I never felt I wasn't in complete control and his clear instructions and detailed diagrams of every possible ma...

I originally had driving lessons when I was 17 in liverpool but didn't get the chance to take my test. After moving to Sheffield I finally started up again after 2 long years, but I was scared as I had never been a confident driver and obviously didn't know the roads in Sheffield and with all the...

Anna Holden's Testimonial
Anna Holden
Having been offered a new job which would involve lots of travelling, I realised it was finally time to learn how to drive. I rang Phil to discuss semi- intensive lessons and he was able to fit me in for evening lessons. Phil encouraged me to sit my theory test as soon as possible, so by my first...

Amy Potter's Testimonial
Amy Potter
I first heard about Phil when my older sister, Lauren, started having driving lessons with him. She passed her test quickly first time - and never let me forget it! I couldn't believe what a confident driver she was just after day one of passing her test. I convinced myself that I would be a drea...

I have no hesitation in recommending Phil as a fantastic driving instructor; I passed first time, a credit to his calm, cool and relaxed approach to driving instruction.

Katherine Stocks's Testimonial
Katherine Stocks
Phil came highly recommended to me by friends and it was obvious after just a couple of lessons why. He never once raised his voice and remained calm with me at all times no matter the situation, meaning I didn't panic. He was highly encouraging and gave me the confidence I needed to progress ...

Summer Valentine's Testimonial
Summer Valentine
I took my first driving test around 8 months after I started to learn to drive. I came away with a very poor result and felt like I would never pass my test. However, I booked my first lesson with Phil a few weeks later and after the first 2 hours, I was driving like a different person. After a f...

Joanne Lees's Testimonial
Joanne Lees
I came to Phil having had 3 previous driving instructors. As a learner driver it is difficult to determine whether your first instructor is in fact good at what they do as you have no prior knowledge, you must trust that they know their stuff. Phil is fantastic. He stood out from my previous inst...

Chloe Bovill's Testimonial

Having absolutely no driving experience, Phil came highly recommended by friends, and after my first lesson, I could see why! Even though I seriously doubted my own ability, Phils calm and reassuring attitude allowed me to quickly build up confidence. The resources he provided prior to my less...

John's Testimonial
John
Philip was all that I could have asked from a driving instructor, and more. He understood that I had a busy schedule due to my sport, and there was never any kind of annoyance if a lesson had to be re-arranged or moved - something I greatly appreciated. His professional attitude, patience and sty...
