Hello, my name is Philip.

I've always been passionate about road safety and decided to move into driver education so I could make a positive difference. I’ve been teaching for over five years and have 30+ years driving experience.

I enjoy training drivers of all ages, abilities and levels of experience. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing my student’s progress on their driving journey and ultimately passing their test and going on to become safe and confident drivers.

Whether you're a complete beginner or looking for the finishing touches in your driving journey - I can provide patient, quality training.

Every student is unique so I will tailor a package to suit your individual requirements. I am a driving enthusiast and absolutely love what I do.

I just passed my restricted driving test, and I’m incredibly grateful to my AA driving instructor, Philip, for his excellent guidance and support throughout my learning journey. What stood out most was his calm and composed way of teaching. No matter the situation, he remained patient and reassuring, which really helped ease my nerves — especially when I was feeling anxious or unsure. His calmness made every lesson a safe space to learn and grow. He pointed out mistakes in such a kind and constructive way that they really stuck with me. Honestly, I can still hear his voice in my head reminding me what not to do — and that helped so much on test day! ?? He explained everything clearly and made sure each lesson focused on the areas I needed to improve. His tips on gap selection, mirror checks, and parking techniques made a huge difference and gave me the confidence I needed. Thank you, Philip, for being such a fantastic and patient teacher!!!! I highly recommend him to anyone preparing for their driving test!
