Paul is an excellent driving instructor who is so welcoming and kind in every lesson. I always looked forward to our lessons, because Paul does a great job at creating a safe learning environment, dealing with his students with patience and understanding. I really valued the advice he gave me on my driving, and he truly made sure I was confident and fully prepared before my test. I highly recommend him. You don't get much better than Paul :).

Paul was friendly, very patient and made it really easy for someone like me who has zero idea of where to start with driving which I ended up passing my driving test with a great score! Would 100% recommend to any new drivers. .
Amelia Moore
I loved learning to drive with Paul, right from the start he was so patient, funny, kind, and just overall a great person to be around. He’s awesome at what he does, and has an unlimited supportive nature, which was SO helpful as a very nervous driver. He does a brilliant job of teaching, explaining everything really well, providing support and guidance when needed. He makes the car a safe space, removes any awkwardness, and I really enjoyed my lessons with him. He’s the most supportive and best instructor out there, if he has no recommenders, I’m dead! :).
Response : Thank you so much for your kind review. You were an absolute pleasure to teach and I’m so pleased you passed first time. Drive safe and happy motoring.

Paul is a brilliant instructor who is very welcoming and easy to talk to. I throughly enjoyed every lesson with him and his lessons have made me very confident to drive alone with the knowledge he gives you.

Having already had some driving lessons with amother instructor, I had to change to a new instructor due to circumstances. This is when I started lessons with freeway school of motoring. On my first lesson, Paul was very welcoming and professional. I was giving a booklet, a guide to his school of motoring. Paul also provided me with online resources to help with my theory which was amazing! Each lesson was different and we focussed on different aspects of driving each week to develop my ability and confidence. Paul also asked if I was ever unsure I’m anything so I could practice that further. Paul was always a very encouraging but constructive tutor to which I was able to pass my practical test a few weeks ago. Since passing, I believe I have been able to develop my confidence as a new driver which I believe is all down to what I learnt whilst with freeway school of motoring. I would highly recommend this driving school.Moreexpand_more

Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! I was really nervous about learning to drive and Paul was very aware of this, he was so patient and really made me believe in myself! He was so kind and calm that it really put me at ease when driving, he always provided clear instructions and feedback of areas that were good and areas that needed some improvement; Paul also always made time for me, even though I had a very busy timetable and spent time abroad, he would always fit me in! I would highly recommend Paul and Freeway School of Motoring :).

Paul was an exceptional tutor, very considerate and attentive. He explained every part of the driving experience very well and was quick to give help and advise on how to improve. He was very helpful with preparation of both the theory and practical tests. I would recommend his service to anyone looking to learn to drive in a calm and productive environment with good results.

I am so glad my partner found Paul Freeway School of Motoring. Paul the instructor is kind and patient, he will explain everything in detail and help you with any mistakes or worries. Overall I passed my driving test with Paul and am extremely grateful, I would suggest Paul to anybody who wants to leave to drive.

I had a very enjoyable time learning to drive with Paul. I was nervous at first but Paul's reassurance and expertise made me feel at ease and look forward to my driving lessons! It was very useful being able to tailor the lessons towards skills that I wanted to practise, which helped to make me feel more confident in the drivers seat. The weekly mock theory tests were a great help and gave me the knowledge to pass my theory test first time! I'd definitely recommend Paul to anyone thinking about learning to drive.

Freeway school of motoring is a great way to learn how to drive. Paul, the driving instructor, provides excellent teaching to help you pass your test as quick as possible whilst learning how to drive safely in all circumstances. He caters for all abilities and personalises his lessons to work best for you. I would recommend him to anyone interested in learning to drive.

Paul was an absolutely fantastic instructor who made me feel safe and confident in my own abilities. Every week I could see myself improving and loved how I was able to tailor each lesson to my own goals. I never felt stupid or embarrassed to make mistakes as Paul would use them as learning opportunities to improve my skills. I would 100% recommend to family and friends!

Giving a honest review I would recommend any learner driver to Paul (Freeway). Lesson prices are not competitive but after taking a session you can understand why. All lessons are planned out and catered to the drivers' needs and ability. As part of lesson prices Paul also gives free help and 'mock exams' for theory driving tests, which aided me to pass. Paul is very friendly and highly recommended.

I went with Paul Rodgers through freeway. He was brilliant and patient. He helped ease my nerves. I never thought that I would be a qualified driver in my 40s. I was so impressed with Paul that I 8encouraged my son n daughter to take their lessons with him. They both passed and I am always happy to recommend him to anyone. If you think you can't do it …. Believe me contact Paul Rodgers and you will succeed.

Really enjoyed my driving lessons with Freeway. Always felt relaxed and comfortable on lessons as instructor was very friendly and patient. I also felt that if I was unsure about any of the content in a lesson I could always raise this with my instructor. When I started my driving lessons I hadn't already done my theory test, therefore I was given lots of help in order to prepare for this. As for the practical side of things, I felt like the lessons I had with Freeway not only taught me how to drive, but also to be a safe and considerate driver. I also had the opportunity to drive in various weather conditions. My instructor would take me out on lesson in all kinds of weather, where safe to do so. Doing this taught me how to drive safe in adverse weather conditions and also gave me more confidence to drive in these conditions. When it came to the practical driving test, for the few lessons in the run up to the test I was given the choice of what aspects of driving I would like to go over. This helped me to feel more confident and ready to take my driving test. I always found my instructor to be really flexible with the scheduling of my driving lessons, as I had to fit my lessons in around working full time. This hardly ever seemed to be an issue as quite often I was able to change a lesson providing my instructor had availability on other days. Overall I would definitely recommend Freeway to others and already have done to people who are thinking of learning to drive.Moreexpand_more

Great driving instructor would highly recommend. Paul is very Friendly always made my lesson comfortable talking me through things while driving and taking time to discuss things after. He built my weakness into strengths and I can not thank him enough for helping me not only to pass my test but learning me how to be a safe driver.
