£40 an hour
I’m one of the best, not one of the cheapest.
If you want cheap lessons with a “Five lessons for £50!” style school using inexperienced, unqualified instructors that focus on passing and not how to drive then I’m not for you.
If you want all of the benefits below then I’m your man.
Benefits of learning with me
- I have over 20 years of experience and have taught over 1,000 people to drive in-person
- I’m also a professional hypnotherapist, life coach and NLP practitioner along with being trained in CBT, counselling, psychotherapy and other things that can all help me get to the root of your problems faster. Basic driving instructors without my skills and experience could cost you hundreds of pounds in extra lessons and failed tests; more than if you’d just taken better lessons to start with.
- I’m one of the UK’s top driving instructor trainers and have trained hundreds, maybe thousands of driving instructors. Some of my driving instructor videos have over 80,000 views and many instructors around the UK point their pupils to my videos for help. I help many instructors keep their job when they have a standards check.
- I was probably the first driving instructor on YouTube having began making videos in May 2008. I have made over 700 driving lesson videos. You can even watch me teaching Lucy to drive from start to finish in a 42-hour series of videos.
- Prices are fixed at the hourly rate you start on until you pass
- No trick intro offers like 10 lessons for £99 with more catches than a fishing net. See below for more detail on introductory offers.
- I am a fully qualified driving instructor (as if you couldn’t tell from what I said above!). Many driving schools use inexperienced trainee instructors who may fail their exams while you’re with them, leaving you stranded or with another trainee who also fails their exams! The pass rates for these exams are very low, just 27.9% for the final exam in Birmingham in 2020. We all have to start somewhere and I help train new instructors but not everyone wants to learn with a learner.
- You’ll get the same instructor (me) for every lesson, not a different one each time from the same school when the last one fails their exams. No other instructors work at this school.
- You’ll be supporting a local small business, not a faceless national company pretending to be a local school
- No deposit to pay before we meet. Why risk paying before you’ve met your instructor?
- There’s no contract to sign so there’s no worry of small print or legal catches
- No driving test fee. Some instructors charge £100 for each test, on top of the lesson
- No extra cost for weekends, bank holidays or anything
- I have no sales targets. Some schools encourage instructors to drag lessons out for rewards such as holidays and a month’s free car rental (I’ve worked at these schools and been through the sales sessions)
- In-car CCTV protection for you (and me)
- I use my CCTV to review all driving tests if you don’t pass. Even if I don’t go with you I can still see exactly what happened and help you.
- I offer weekly or intensive courses to suit your needs
Payment methods for driving lessons
I accept payment through bank transfer only. I no longer accept cash because I get charged a fee when I pay cash into my account and keeping large amounts of cash in my house isn’t safe.
I’ll email you the details needed to make payments after your first lesson.
No trick intro offers or price rises
I have one flat rate for everything with no confusing tariffs. Whether it’s a weekend, bank holiday, your driving test or whatever; it’s all charged at the same flat rate.
The price you see above when you book is guaranteed to never increase no matter how long you’re with me.

Driving lesson videos and pupil guide
My driving lesson pupil guide contains over 40 hours of video and pages of written information that can save you time and money on driving lessons.
You can watch me teaching a learner driver, Lucy, from start to finish. That’s like getting all your driving lessons for free! Watch these videos before your driving lessons in Birmingham and we can both save a lot time by getting on with the driving and spending less time talking through things.
You can also read pages of detailed written information on each topic.
I have also made over 500 driving lesson videos on my YouTube channel and they have had over 10 million views. These videos are made by me, Paul, the actual instructor you will have for your lessons. They are filmed in Birmingham in the same areas that you’ll be driving in on your lessons.
These videos won’t work as well if you learn with anyone else because their methods will be different but I do know of instructors that point their own pupils to my videos for reference.
When you are ready for your driving test you can watch my driving test videos showing actual routes from the very test centre you’ll be going from. Many of my pupils say how great it is to be able to watch these on the day of their driving test. Many times I’ve been sitting in driving test waiting rooms waiting for the examiner to come out when pupils and even other instructors have come up to me to say how much my videos have helped.
