What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Nervous and first time learners feature heavily in the accounts left for this Capel St Mary school, with several describing significant anxiety at the outset of their driving journey. Instructor Paul is named consistently, and a number of reviews mention his calm, friendly manner as central to building both practical skill and self belief over the course of lessons.

A thread running through the feedback is preparation on the actual test routes before the exam itself, which multiple pupils credit with removing uncertainty on the day and contributing to first time passes, several without any faults recorded. Weekly lessons delivered with punctuality and consistency are mentioned more than once, alongside a teaching style that adapts to what each learner specifically needs rather than following a rigid structure.

One pupil new to sitting behind the wheel entirely describes being put at ease from the very first session, while others highlight ongoing encouragement through every stage of preparation. The overall impression across the feedback is of steady, patient guidance that leaves learners feeling genuinely ready rather than merely coached through set manoeuvres. The school operates from Tuesday to Saturday during daytime hours, based in Capel St Mary on the outskirts of Ipswich.

Went into the first lesson after losing alot of confidence driving, however Paul’s lessons really brought all my confidence back from day 1, there was always a very calm yet controlled environment which was very easy to learn in and I was always reassured and encouraged with things I felt nervous about

I was a mature (older) student, who had 2 previous instructors over 25 years. I was always very nervous and cautious, had no self belief at all. I started to think this time round it was now or never , I had the notorious chimp on my shoulder telling me I couldn’t do it . My first lesson with Paul I was a bundle of nerves and to be fair every lesson the first 10 minutes I was nervous. But Paul has a way where he makes you believe you can do it , he is patient and explains things in a friendly way . It doesn’t matter how many times you have to do something ( for me round abouts and parallel parking) he never makes you feel useless. My dream was to learn to drive and take my mum shopping, my dream is now a reality and it’s down with the support from Paul. He is an excellent instructor , eternally grateful

Paul has been a fantastic instructor who helped me pass my test first time. He was patient and knowledgeable and helped me understand what I needed to improve on to prepare for the test. I was able to have consistent weekly lessons and he was always on time. Would recommend to anyone learning to drive

I had my driver instructor paul. He was nothing but amazing. He helped me so much with my confidence, and helped me so much with getting me towards my test, passing first time with no miners! He helped me believe I could do it and settle my nerves so much. I couldn’t recommend him enough. He was nothing but the best, and I will be forever grateful for the time he spent helping me learn to drive. Thank you so much paul!

I passed my test on my 1st attempt. Paul is a great and experienced instructor. He is patient, calm and flexible instructor. He would do all his best to explain to me whenever I don't understand. I would highly recommend Paul as he is an excellent instructor. Thank you, Paul!
