I passed my driving test 30 years ago and only drove a handfull of times as my confidence was very low. I booked a course of refresher lessons with AAA and Phil Eaton was my Instructor. Phil rang me the week before my course started and we spent 45 minutes chatting about what made me nervous and what i wanted from the lessons. This really set my mind at ease and when he called for my first lesson i felt I already knew him I did a total of 10 hours and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. He instantly put me at ease and made me feel very relaxed. He gave me lots of encouragement and feedback and suggested various reading material and websites to help me between lessons. After so many years as a timid driver I have just returned from a visit to my Daughter who lives in the Midlands and I drove all the way there and back without a hitch. FANTASTIC. Thank you Phil

I was extremely nervous at the thought of learning to drive having left it so late (42yrs) and being profoundly deaf increased my anxiety. I was so glad to have had Coral as my instructor, her friendliness put me at ease, and my deafness was not a barrier. Coral is incredibly patient (which is needed when you stall a lot!!) and provided constant support throughout including finding visual clues/aids to help make up for not being able to hear. I am pleased to say I passed my test first time. I would, without any doubt, recommend Coral to anyone who is thinking of learning to drive as she also made the whole 'learning experience' a lot of fun and I will always be grateful to her.'

Coral is a fantastic driving instructor and it is obvious she cares a lot about her pupils. She is patient and supportive and made me feel at ease from the first time I got in the car and at every point during my lessons, even if I made a mistake!

I passed my driving test first time with one minor and it is all down to Corals dedication and teaching. I have been driving on my own now for the last two months and couldn't have asked for a better teacher.

At the age of 25 I decided it was time to learn to drive instead of using my dad as a taxi.  A friend recommended Phil and gave me his number and I called him.

My first driving lesson was in April 2010, from the moment I got into the car with Phil I felt comfortable.  He calmed me down as I was so nervous and reassured me that I would be fine.

I always looked forward to my lessons from that day onwards.  I had one and a half hour a week and always thoroughly enjoyed them.  It took me just over nine months to pass my test first time and I can honestly say I loved very minute.

Phil was great, a kind and very patient instructor and I would recommend him to anyone.

Thanks Phil
