My brother Tom first learnt to drive with Phil and he defied all my preconceptions about new drivers. I was amazed by how confident and at ease he was behind the wheel having passed first time in a fairly short period. After witnessing his success I decided to give Phil a ring. After just one les...

I was fortunate to come across Phil's website having not lived in Sheffield very long and it was actually the previous testimonials which led to me giving him a call and getting that first lesson booked! Phil makes you feel very comfortable in the car, I think this is really important, especia...

Driving lessons with Phil are just the best. His calm and jokey manner makes the lessons fly past! Even from the very first lesson, I came out with renewed confidence and a desire to practice. Phil taught me not only how to easily pass my test, but to drive confidently in a manner that will allow...

I came into driving a little late in life having previously lived in a different city with great transport links and no 'real' need to drive. I used a driving school which resulted in a couple of failed attempts. I almost gave up but decided to try again but this time with a different instructor....

After several recommendations to pick Phil as my driving instructor, I quickly saw why people had recommended him. Not only does Phil prepare you for the driving test itself by ensuring all the test requirements are covered, he teaches the skills and provides the information needed to ensure safe...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
