Be VERY CAUTIOUS when booking an intensive driving course with Big Tom. Our experience and speaking to many other people in this area show the same pattern. He often identifies a person as not being ready for the test (fair enough) at the end of the week but afterwards is focused on getting as much additional money as possible and will delay putting the driver in for a test to maximise this. He gives very little guidance during lessons and lets the driver make mistakes and then tells them this is why they are not ready. The purpose of 'teaching', especially such an important skill, is to guide the learner during a lesson. His attitude is very arrogant and intimidating (again not very useful when learning new skills) and to top it off he will keep the driving test fee you have paid in advance and refuse to even let you attempt the test. 30+ lessons later hugely disappointed in his tuition. A safer option would be to look for instructors in Peterborough as there are more available to choose from! On the bright side he won't teach you any manovers at all but he will make you drive to the top of a multi-story car park at the end of the week as it looks good on his Facebook page! Read Less

Learning to drive with Tom helped me so much with my confidence. After not driving for a year and having a couple of instructors before him I felt very comfortable in my experience. I passed on my 2nd time and would highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for a friendly instructor who can give them the confidence they need on the road. Read Less

Absolutely fantastic driving school, I booked the 5 day intensive course on which I gained alot of experience and knowledge on how to drive. Took my test today first attempt and passed with only 2 minors and this proves how brilliantly effective Bigtom's driving school is. Thank-you to Tom and Tara who helped me to pass my test quickly. I highly highly recommended to everyone that wants to learn to drive. Thanks once again Read Less

My experience of learning to drive was very positive thanks to my lessons with Tom. I started out with very little time behind the wheel but was helped to feel very calm and relaxed. He adapts the learning techniques to you as a individual, ensuring you learn at your own pace. I started out with very little confidence, but thanks to Tom and his calming influence this was overcome quite quickly. Mock tests helped me prepare for the real practical test and assisted in reducing my nerves for test day. I knew what to expect so there were never any surprises. Tom also has lots of useful videos online which help with tackling more difficult techniques or situations. Overall my experience was fantastic and I would recommend anyone looking to start driving to give Tom a call! Read Less

I started driving with Tom after failed a test with another instructor. He build my confidence by giving me clear instruction on how to improve my driving. He used different techniques to show what to do. I found the mock tests we did really helpful and showed me exactly what the examiner would be looking for. Driving every day with Tom gave me much more experience than having a lesson weekly. Tom made everything easy by booking my initial test and then finding me a cancelation because he thought I was ready to take my test earlier. On day 5 I took my test and passed with no driver errors. I would definitely recommend Big Tom Driving School and wish I'd gone with Tom in the first place.Read Less
