Paul is a great instructor who clearly knows what he's doing and has lots of experience. Would 100% recommend Paul to anyone looking for driving lessons with an instructor they can trust.

Natalie is very patient. If you don't understand something she will try a different way until you do understand. Her flexible teaching methods definitely suited me and helped me pass first time.

Passed first time thanks to Paul, he is a nice, patient guy with great teaching methods that will ensure that you become a safe driver, highly recommend to anyone looking for an instructor

One word: Brilliant

Thank you so much for helping me pass my test before going back to University. I honestly couldn't have done it without you and I will miss our lessons!

Ask for Paul if you want to pass first time. Bloody amazing instructor to put up with me and get me through first time :-)

Great instructor. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to pass first time.

Can't recommend Natalie enough! So patient, positive and friendly, she pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me feel safe and confident behind the wheel. Thank you again, Natalie, for helping me pass my driving test!

Passed first time, very helpful instructor All my lessons were enjoyable and informative throughout, This is what was needed.

Very patient instructor who makes every lesson interesting. I passed first time - Thank you Paul!

This man needs 6 stars getting me through my test not 5. Loved every minute of learning to drive with Paul.
Unluckily for Paul, I will be sending my sister his way soon and she is thicker than me. Ha!!!!

Test Tip Of The Month For Colchester

When taking your driving test in Colchester, make sure you are confident with the Greenstead roundabout - a multiple mini roundabout. Make sure that you are looking at road signs and road markings, and are aware of other road users who may not be in the correct lane.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Colchester

When you are on the independent driving part of the test, it's common to miss your mirrors and signalling when listening to and following the satnav. Remember, every time you hear a new direction, be prepared to check your mirrors and put a signal on if needed.
