Customer Reviews – Automatic Driving Lessons in Leeds
If you’re looking for honest reviews from people who’ve taken automatic driving lessons in Leeds, you’re in the right place. I’m proud to share what my learners say about their experience. As a former DVSA driving examiner now offering lessons across Leeds, I focus on calm, practical instruction that builds real confidence.
He let me dictate what I wanted to focus on and gave me the confidence to get back on the road. A thoroughly enjoyable lesson and would recommend Paul for new and experienced drivers alike.”
I’ve had a number of driving instructors over the years and aside from finally getting me a pass, Paul was by far my most positive learning experience. He has a very relaxing manner, doesn’t play a blame game and doesn’t babble on all lesson with excess small talk. Everything he says is geared to impart his knowledge and philosophy on driving in a way that neither feels preachy nor condescending, and definitely provides a fresh and engaging perspective on how to be a better, safer and more confident driver.
Paul was very accommodating with his time and we did a lot of early morning sessions as that matched the time I had booked for my test, whilst I wont miss getting up extra early, its funny but in some ways I’m going to miss the lessons!”
He is calm, patient and knowledgeable which allows any learner to flourish their own skill set and Paul encourages you to think for yourself in the situations that can occur on the roads of Leeds.
5/5 recommendation from me and I wish Paul all the best for the future.”
“I had to change my driving instructor due to a bad experience both me and my girlfriend had and found Paul on google. I can honestly say that he made both of us feel comfortable and relaxed as soon as we started learning with him. Paul is an excellent driving instructor and I passed first time with only three minors. I would reccomend Paul to anyone including family and friends.”
“I found Paul through my boyfriend. I had had an unpleasant experience with my first driving instructor which led me to wanting to find another. My boyfriend had already had some lessons with Paul and had discussed the situation, Paul was more than happy to start teaching me and made me feel comfortable and safe when in his car from the beginning. Paul is very friendly as well as flexible and is always happy to help. I managed to pass my test with only 4 minors and it has given me so much more freedom. I am really thankful i managed to find Paul and i would really recommend him to anyone who is wanting to pass their test.”
I found myself enjoying every lesson, I felt much safer, and could see that my standard of driving improved significantly after every lesson.
Paul knows exactly what the examiners are looking for. He has completed the driving examiner qualification, but he doesn’t just teach you how to pass, he helps to develop and instil safe, eco-friendly techniques.
Having had lessons with two different instructors before Paul, I can confidently say he offers an outstanding service. He is reliable, approachable, encouraging and understands exactly how it feels to learn. I’ve recommended him to all my friends already!“
From the moment you get in the car Paul puts you at ease, his ability to adapt to individuals learning styles is amazing and within a few minutes you can tell he loves what he does.
Paul enjoys driving himself and this comes across in his teaching styles.
What I particularly liked was the fact he asks what you feel you want and need to work on and will encourage you to do so. Would and will recommend Paul to anybody wanting to learn to drive and not just learn to pass their test.”
He went out of his way to deliver and he simply exceeded the expectations, he sacrificed his own personal time to get me to pass with ZERO faults. He was understanding and sympathetic while remaining professional and extremely focused. I cannot recommend him enough and I will be eternally grateful for his support. Thank you Paul!“
Paul’s calm, patient and friendly approach to teaching really helped me to progress and feel confident when driving, leading to me passing my test first time!
My whole experience of Paul Robinson Driving School has been very positive and I would encourage anybody who is looking to start driving/wanting to improve their skills to book in with Paul too.
Thanks for everything Paul!”
He assessed my needs and gave me a accurate assessment of my driving abilities, after my lessons I went on to pass first time with Just 4 minors.
I would highly recommend Paul to family and friends.
I first contacted him after seeing all the positive reviews online and they were all spot on about him.
Such a nice guy and reasonably priced as well which was nice.”
Also, Paul’s colleagues at the office are very helpful with booking in driving tests and advising on hours available. Thank you again !”
It was only possible because of Paul.
Having had multiple friends tell me tales of awful driving instructors I always going to be hesitant, however, from day one Paul was calming, encouraging, and patient. He has a great sense of humour which is really reassuring, especially when your nervous. He is happy to go at your pace without either rushing you too quickly into situations you’re not comfortable with, or by slowing your learning down. He will make your lessons engaging, fun, and pile you full of knowledge and tips that you’ll find invaluable.
When you pay for 2 hour lessons you get 2 hour lessons, if he is slightly late because of traffic, etc, he’ll ensure this made up to you and isn’t one to rip you off at all!
I can’t thank Paul enough for his professionalism, patience, and drive (no pun intended) to help me past my test at a speed I was comfortable with. I can honestly say I already feel like a safe and confident driver, and that’s all down to Paul.
Thanks again mate!”
100% recommend”
Paul Robinson is a treasure. An expert in teaching and extremely patient, understanding, and believing. I researched dozens of driving schools before finally making my decision to go with Paul, and it was the best move I could have done.
Lessons are £60 for two hours and are cheaper still if you buy in bulk. You will not regret your choice if you do go with him. Not only this, but his staff who answer the phones are more than helpful with any queries you may have.
I am forever grateful to Paul. It is a life changing experience when you pass your test and I will always remember the journey I went to secure my licence with his company.
Kind regards,
Bill.”
Highly recommend
Lovely man
LOVED every day with Paul at Paul Robinson Driving School“
Paul clearly enjoys his work, and knows how to teach not only the skills of driving a car, but the mindset to do so safely, and he backs up his superb lessons with plenty of material for further study if you want or need it.
I could go on, but to wrap this up I put it this way: if you’re looking for driving lessons in Leeds, ring Paul Robinson Driving School, you will in no time at all be sitting pretty on a first time pass.
Thanks for everything Paul!”
Would recommend 100%!”
A very professional and experienced guy who can also have a laugh and put you at ease And genuinely wants the best for his students! I was very nervous but Paul always made me feel like I could do it which gave me determination!
Having had some gaps in my lessons (down to my studies) I was wary although I clearly had a great driving instructor who was always very reassuring and had taught me a great skill set and as a result ended up passing first time!!
Always very accommodating with time Paul would try to slot me in wherever he could.
Rather than dwell on what I would do wrong he would always put ahead the positives which made me feel more confident in all!
I am now happy to say I can take out the skills Paul has taught me into the real world and drive and more importantly, drive safely!
Could not recommend Paul enough!! Thank you!!”
Paul also has excellent knowledge of the routes and different roads around Horsforth Test centre so that, when it came to my test, I was thoroughly prepared and had experience of the roads I was driving on.
So I would 110% recommend Paul Robinson Driving School if you, not only want to pass your test, but also learn to be a safe and considerate driver.
Finally, Paul I would like to thank you for everything and helping me pass my test today. All the very best for the future!”
Paul has a calm and friendly approach and helped me to gain confidence in my driving.
Paul offered flexibility with lesson times and provided extra lessons in the weeks leading to my test.
I managed to pass first time and would like to thank Paul for being a fantastic instructor.”
He’s a very skilled and patient instructor, who continually reinforces the right and safe road behaviours by encouraging you to look beyond just what needs to be done to pass your test, but how to be a safe long term driver.
I’m now looking forward to cracking straight on with Pass Plus with Paul. Absolutely the best choice to learn with. Thank you Paul!”
Paul was patient and understanding and slowly worked and iron out these habits as well as the driving myths these schools had told me. I would say all in all I had around 15 hours with Paul, with a lot of private time working on Paul’s feedback so that way my time with Paul would be more effective and constructive.
I’m happy to say I passed first time, thanks to Paul and his patience and teaching me how to be a great driver and instilled some great life long habits. In fact I have been driving a week so far and all my family and friends are amazed at how good of a driver I am and say it’s as though I have been driving for years 🙂
Thank you Paul!!!”
I cannot fault him!”
