I have thoroughly enjoyed learning to drive with Gav. I'm 33 and so a bit of a late bloomer with regards to learning to drive. Gav has been patient but challenging with his approach. He has the experience and personality needed to be a great teacher, breaking each driving skill into easy to swallow pieces with a variety of humorous learning tools that help you to remember what's been taught. Each lessons refreshes what you learned last time and gives you something new to get your teeth into so you feel like progress is being made. His teaching style is very flexible, I certainly had good and bad days, but Gav adapted his style each time we met. His methods are very methodical and his pass rate shows that they're tried and tested. He's a very personable guy and I'm going to miss being taught by him as today I passed my test first time with 2 minor faults. Read Less

I passed my driving test in only a few weeks with Phoenix. Friendly, easy going and effective learning. The car you learn in (a Citroen C2) is perfect too. If you looking to start (or perhaps re-start) to drive, I really can't recommend this school highly enough! Thanks Gav! Read Less

Gavin is a fantastic driving instructor, he is always happy and cheerful! He never rushed me to learn anything new, always in my own time. Gav will never let you down, always teaches with a smile on his face and makes learning to drive an exciting experience. I am going to miss my lessons, but thanks to Gav I passed today, first time with only 2 minor faults! Fantastic! :) Thanks Gav! Hannah (passed 31/01/11) Read Less
