REVIEWS

Steve is a brilliant driving instructor. I came to him after struggling with driving and he has really helped me to enjoy it and develop my confidence. His explanations are very clear and logical and he has great attention to detail. Always on time and never let me down, went above and beyond in terms of feedback at the end of each lesson too. Highly recommend - thank you Steve!

I passed first time today due to Steves’ lessons. He showed me that I could pass my test and he took me right from the beginning of my driving experiences to the test. I wouldn’t have been so prepared if it wasn’t for his lessons.

Thank you!

Amazing driving instructor and would highly recommend his services. After many years of learning to drive, an ankle injury and a lot of anxiety from previous tests I knew I needed an instructor who would accommodate my worries and help me progress to be confident on the road. From day 1 Steve helped me overcome hurdles and after two years of on and off learning I finally was able to go for my test and passed with no minors. Have no doubts that he is honestly one of the best instructors out there, his car is also wonderful to drive and every lesson is tailored to you to give you the best chance of passing your test.

Steve knocked on my door on lesson one and said “let’s get you passed” after a string of poor instructors I was so glad to have chose him. His patience, organisation and explanations were second to none as well as his gadgets to help me learn. Can’t recommend enough. Cheers Steve!

Thanks Steve for all your support and guidance. I would recommend Steve to anyone, he is very patient, positive and professional. His car was perfect and immaculately clean on every lesson. Coming from another country he really help me learn the signs, rules or the road as well as the practical driving. So pleased I passed first time.

Steve is such a fab driving instructor, it takes a lot of patience to teach the likes of me so he did a fantastic job in teaching me to drive. He’s such a friendly, professional guy and really wants the best for his students. He was amazing with me on every lesson and knew how to be with me as I suffer really badly with anxiety and made each lesson as straight forward as can be making me look forward to the next lesson. I highly recommend Steve he’ll get you passed in no time. Thanks for everything Steve. Kelly Anne x

I cannot rate Steve highly enough! Having struggled with driving many years ago I gave up thinking that I would never gain my license. Steve is calm mannered and a joy to learn from, his lessons were well thought out and his teaching method easy to follow. Always punctual and never cancelled on me, professional throughout my time with him. Thanks again Steve for helping me get my license, learning with you truly was a pleasure.

I can’t recommend Steve highly enough. He is extremely professional, while at the same time very kind and patient.  After recently moving from the US, I was very unsure of driving in the UK - but Steve put all my nerves aside and helped me through the whole process.  He’s a fantastic instructor, and I have him to thank for passing my practical test on the first try!

Learning to drive with Steve has been a brilliant and enjoyable experience from start to finish..professional,  relaxed , and an all round nice guy... highly recommended.

​

Steve was a fantastic instructor. He has a meticulous way to to help learner drivers of all abilities and his biggest qualities were: Patience, if he could see you were struggling he would offer constructive advice and make you feel more at ease. Versatility was IMO his biggest strength as he would always find a way especially on Manoeuvres to get you to succeed on it. Always I felt extremely safe with Steve next to me, his anticipation/interventions are superb if something was about to go wrong. If you fancy learning an Automatic, Steve is the man for the job and he will overwhelmingly succeed in getting you the Driving License you crave.

​

I would highly recommend Steve. He is very patient and uses various methods of teaching, so if one doesn't work, he will find an alternative to suit you. I had no confidence when I first started learning to drive and struggled a lot picking it up. He has taught me the skills that helped me pass my test first time, something I don't feel I would have done with another instructor. Thank you!

​

Steve is an outstanding instructor who keeps you very calm and is very reassuring. He really goes that extra mile to help by providing alot of support as well as resources to help through the theory and practical exams. I would never have passed without Steve and honestly can't thank him enough. And passing first time round was just the icing on the cake. Big thank you again Steve.

Excellent instructor! Very patient, having been previously with an impatient driving instructor and being put off driving for 2 years he definitely brought back my love for driving! Highly recommend! I will be telling all my friends for definite.  Thank you,  Steve Paddy, for helping me pass!!

​

Well, it was a challenge for both of us but I finally passed my test! After a few instructors before Steve I was ready for giving up but Steve gave me back my confidence in driving, made the things I'd been struggling with much easier and was very supportive. Explained things very well and put me at ease. I cannot recommend him enough. Thanks again Steve!

Steve Paddy helped me learn to drive and confidently pass my practical test in first attempt. Steve does not provide lessons to become rich by charging fees. He has a passion to teach each one of us. Steve teaches you legally how to drive safely, provides you feedback regularly, make you practice what he thought and then checks if you have practised in his next lesson. In short a man that thinks constantly by focusing on your areas of improvement till you drive correctly. I would highly recommend Steve Paddy as he is an excellent instructor and is has oceans of experience in his driving coaching field.

I cannot rate the Steve Paddy driving school highly enough! Steve is an incredibly patient and experienced instructor who tailored my driving lessons to suit my learning style. Thanks to Steve I gained the skills and confidence I needed to safely pass my test first time. I can’t imagine a better or more supportive instructor. Thanks again Steve!

Steve was great at teaching me to drive, he had many ways of explaining something if I didn't quite understand and really focussed on certain areas in order to improve my driving. He takes what you want to cover in the lesson into account and is always very punctual. He was good at creating a stress-free environment to drive in and I felt safe at all times. Would definitely recommend to anyone :)

Steve is one of the best instructors. He is very patient and experienced to find out areas of improvement in your driving. His explicit tips and simplified way of explanation helps a lot. His target is not just to get you through the test, but to make you a better and safer driver out there. Would highly recommend to anybody. Thanks a lot Steve.

​

​

I would very much like to thank Steve for teaching me to drive. I have previously been with 4 other driving instructors who took the mick and messed about. Steve was very straight forward and honest with me. I had never felt so comfortable yet challenged by a driving instructor before which led to me passing with 2 minors. After many previous attempts and a lot of money I finally found an honest and great instructor - and my younger brother is now having lessons with him and loving it!
Claire Jones

​

​

Passed first time with Steve, excellent for first time learners or switching from another instructor. Very easy going and a top man. Helped break down the various driving techniques, explained and showed them in such an easy to understand way i picked up the necessary skills straight from the off, I couldn't recommend him more.
Patrick Gilford

​

​

He was always professional, never answered his phone during the lessons and managed to bring a bit of fun to sometimes not an easy lesson. I feel he was honest in his judgment of my progress and readiness for the test - hence why I've passed first time! Thank you Steve! Definetly would recommend Steve's school to anyone who wants to learn to drive.

Thank you so much, Steve, for helping me pass my test first time (again!) Your patience, kindness, tolerance and general all-around 'coolness' was so appreciated in helping me build the confidence I needed to drive again. Best driving instructor ever!!!

If you want to be a safe, confident and efficient driver then I highly recommend Steve, he's an absolute credit to the industry. It was imperative that I passed my test to pursue my career in community nursing so I don't think it's too dramatic to say that Steve has certainly changed my life and has open up a lot of opportunities for me! I will be sure to carry on my pass plus with Steve. Thank you so much, I couldn't recommend Steve highly enough, absolute legend!!!!!
