Gidday Gidday, my name is Paul, your Blenheim AA Driving Instructor!

It has been my great honour to help hundreds learn to drive. As a pilot and flight instructor, I’ve been in all sorts of emergencies and I’ve learnt the importance of always remaining calm and patient. Having lived overseas for 23 years, I’ve spent my life teaching and instructing people from a variety of countries.

I love teaching people and helping them achieve their goals. My students like my kind, patient and enthusiastic manner. Gaining your driver’s licence is your key to freedom and exploring this wonderful world!

You’ve chosen well with the AA Driving School for your learning to drive journey – I'm looking forward to coaching you.

Reviews

	Paul Dalley is a phenomenal driving instructor—I cannot recommend him highly enough! From the very first lesson, Paul’s calm and professional demeanour immediately puts you at ease. What I loved most about having Paul as my instructor was how he tailored the lessons to my level. He never made me feel rushed, and if something wasn’t clicking, he’d take the time to explain it in a way that made sense. He’s great at building your confidence, and by the end, I actually felt excited to drive instead of scared. His focus on safety and good driving habits sets you up for success—not just for passing your test but for a lifetime of safe driving. What truly sets Paul apart is his genuine passion for helping his students succeed. His friendly and approachable nature makes it easy to ask questions and seek clarification, and his consistent positivity makes every lesson enjoyable. Thanks to Paul’s guidance and support, I felt completely prepared and confident on the day of my driving test. Five stars all the way
