I started driving with Paul as a complete beginner and managed to pass first time with no faults. He is a highly experienced and patient instructor, and his incredible familiarity with the roads in the area are a great asset. He is super easy to talk to and he makes learning to drive a very enjoyable experience. I couldn't recommend Paul as a driving instructor enough, and he is for sure a brilliant choice for beginners and semi-experienced drivers alike.

Paul is excellent driving instructor who I would recommend to anyone. I started off feeling quite nervous and unsure about driving, but his calm and reassuring demeanor quickly put me at ease. He explained everything clearly and made complex concepts easy to understand. Each lesson was well-structured, building my confidence and skills step by step, and I always felt safe and comfortable behind the wheel. What really stood out was his incredible patience. No matter how many questions I had or mistakes I made, he was always supportive and encouraging. His friendly attitude made every lesson comfortable and I never felt too far out of my comfort zone when trying new maneuvers. I can't recommend Paul enough to anyone learning to drive. He's a true professional and thanks to his guidance, I was able to pass on my first attempt.

Passed first time today thanks to Paul! He is patient and teaches manoeuvres in a way that just makes sense! Highly recommend Paul when looking for an instructor! Will miss our lessons Paul, it’s been a pleasure!

Paul was a great instructor. He really helped me in getting a thorough understanding of the driving test, and all the skills that it required. It turned out really well, that was a one-take pass with not even one minor fault! Credit goes to Paul! No surprise during the test as we practiced all the roads near the test centre beforehand. I highly recommend him. Good luck!

Really good instructor that’s calm and very nice and is very patient with you and that shows you everything you need to pass and gets you at the level you need. Really good guy and I have nothing but praise for him. Best instructor out there.

Paul is a great instructor, very patient and constructive. Thank you for helping me pass 1st time! He really is true to the name.

Paul has been the most supportive, patient and professional instructor I've ever had. As a nervous driver initially, my confidence grew so much and I felt a lot more at ease with his lessons and ways of teaching. I would highly recommend him as an instructor.

I really enjoyed my lessons with Paul! He made sure the lessons were fun and motivating. His encouragement was second to none. Paul’s lessons not only helped me learn everything about driving but also made me confident! His teaching style and approach definitely made me pick up the key concepts very quickly. He’s a brilliant instructor and I would highly recommend him.

Paul has been a fantastic instructor for me. Very patient for when I made mistakes and helped me pass my test with minimal faults.

1st time pass sums it up! Paul is an amazing instructor, very patient and clear with instructions. When I felt like I was not doing well getting a particular manoeuvre, he always suggested doing something else to take the pressure off. I was confident in his ability to teach me as I am not easy to be taught something new. Absolute star and I couldn’t be more grateful for his knowledge, professionalism and constructive feedback!

Always making sure that you keep trying to make sure you get the driving right. It doesn’t matter how many times the patience Paul has is amazing. This guy I would recommend to anyone. I have had lessons before and a few times I failed with one instructor. I pass fist time with Paul. Excellent instructor. I don’t think I would have passed if I didn’t have him as my instructor.

I passed my driving test FIRST time with Paul. Paul is a great driving instructor in South East London, and the instructor to go to if you wanted to nail your driving test the first time. He is patient with his students and my driving skill got noticeable better as he constantly gave me valuable feedback on how I should get better to be a safe and confident driver. Go give him a call if you are looking for an automatic driving instructor! You won’t be disappointed! Thank you Paul again for helping me to pass!

"I passed first time would definitely recommend, to others I know who are looking to drive. Really good driving instructor. Thank you paul.."

"Just recently passed first time with the help and support of Paul. Paul is an amazing instructor, who is very patient and very polite. I enjoyed every lesson I had with him as I always learnt something new or improved on something each lesson. I definitely recommended Paul to anyone looking to pass their practical."

“ Paul is a brilliant driving instructor and have a patience of a saint :) Really good at explaining everything, would definitely recommend.
“
“ Paul is very calm and concise. He gives very clear instructions and great tips as you are driving. His lessons build up perfectly to continuously improve your skills. It had been 5 years since I got my licence and had last driven, but by the end of my tenth booster lesson I felt really confident to go and get my first car. Thank you Paul.“
“ Paul is an excellent instructor with wonderful patience, strong discipline and extremely good observation skills which all contribute to his overall instruction to a very high standard. I would thoroughly recommend him.“

Well done.
“Paul was a good instructor helping build confidence each lesson and very good at explaining on where to improve and multiply ways to improve them to suit the driver.”

“Paul is an excellent instructor. I was learning to drive at the age of 30, after having taken a few introductory lessons a long time before that, and found him to be very patient, even with obvious questions, and direct and honest. He had lots of useful suggestions and advice at every stage, advised me well on when to attempt the test, and I passed first time with 3 minors, a result I was very happy with. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody.”

"Paul has been a brilliant driving instructor from start to finish. I began learning to drive a number of years ago but stopped before attempting a test. I was quite apprehensive about trying to learn again but Paul was calm and reassuring throughout, meaning I enjoyed lessons far more than I’d anticipated! He explained concepts clearly and demonstrated skills/manoeuvres so I could get my head around them before attempting them myself, which helped me to learn. He was incredibly patient, and put me at ease when I felt more nervous, e.g. By selecting quieter routes so I could get into the swing of driving before trying a new skill.
With huge thanks to Paul, I managed to pass my test first time (contrary to my own expectations!), and I would have no hesitation in recommending 1stime Pass to others."

"Passed first time!
Really enjoyed the lessons with Paul; he's a genuine guy with a sense of humour. His advice about the test was spot on and really useful on the day.
From actually enjoying my time learning to drive, I now feel confident on the road - not just passing. Thanks Paul :)."

"Having failed a couple of tests a few years ago, I picked driving back up booking a few lessons with Paul. His patience, sense of humour and attention to detail ensured that the learning experience was a joy and I managed to pass on the second attempt this time around. Paul's tuition was professional and stood me in great stead for the test."

"I would defo recommend paul as a driving instructor. He explains everything so well that it makes easier to learn. So patient and fun. I passed today 1st time thanks to him."

"Recently passed my test with Paul, found him to be friendly reliable and very thorough, took me through the stages and manoeuvres with patience and helped me feel at ease on the roads, would highly recommend to anyone."

"I would recommend Paul to any learner. His teaching was excellent and his knowledge of test routes and how to perform the manoeuvres with control was second to none. This was my first time behind a car, Paul was very patient and worked towards my pace without rushing me through. Thanks to Paul I passed my test first time and will be recommending Paul to my friends who need lessons.
Thank you Paul."

"I passed my driving test a few weeks ago after taking lessons with Paul. He was patient, professional and encouraging. Lessons were well-structured, we didn't move on to trickier roads or manoeuvres until I was comfortable to do so. Practicing around the test centre was invaluable on the day of the test. Learning with Paul made me a safe and competent driver, I can't recommend him highly enough! Thanks!"

"Paul was a great help preparing me for the driving test and thanks to his tuition I was able to pass first time! He is a very patient instructor and has a great eye for detail, always remaining calm despite a few near misses when first starting out!
It wasn't the quickest learning experience due to work commitments and no opportunity for private practice, but Paul was always willing to work around my schedule and was a genuinely nice guy to spend hours in a car with."

"Paul was very patient, always on time and a very good teacher. He got me through my test first time. thanks. “

"I couldn't recommend Paul enough. Brilliant instructor and is very patient. I enjoyed learning with Paul and even looked forward to the lessons. If your looking for a driving instructor look no further 10/10."

"Paul was fantastic from the first day I met him, his techniques, ways he teaches and his patience is next to nothing, I passed my test with 1STIME PASS after several attempts with other driving schools, I have talked to few of my friends to let them know Paul's driving school is the best."

“I was very nervous in the beginning but Paul was very patient with me and took everything at my own pace, so I did not feel overwhelmed and actually surprised myself by looking forward to my lessons. Thanks for all the hard work Paul!”

"Paul is a fantastic instructor and has a very patient manner. I've had previous instructors who could be quite stressy at times, but Paul is always very calm and explains things extremely well. I passed with his help and would recommend him to anyone."

"Paul is an excellent driving instructor and helped me to pass I had never driven before and he taught me how to drive brilliantly in 2 and half months. You won't find a better teacher than him if you want to pass first time."

"Learning to drive with Paul was both quick and fun. He was friendly and patient and would explain all aspects of driving in a clear and easy to understand way. I would happily recommend Paul to all my friends and family."

Many thanks for the great service Paul."

"Paul is a great driving instructor with a great personality, sense of humour and teaching skills. He taught me how to drive from day one and I never had a problem. Much appreciated."

"Paul Was A Superb Instructor He Trained Me In 4 Hours The Day Before My Practical And I Passed My Practical. Thanks For Being A Great Instructor."

"Paul is a fantastic driving instructor. I was prepared to take it at my own pace - being maturer in age than your average learner - and Paul's patience made it an enjoyable and relaxed environment to learn. He was incredibly thorough and amenable throughout. I highly recommend him, especially in light of him giving me the skills and confidence to pass first time!"

"I passed my driving test with Paul as my instructor on 9 September after about 30 hours of lessons. I passed first time! As an "older" learner, I couldn't have asked for a better outcome and much of the credit must go to Paul's excellent instruction. Paul explains everything clearly and patiently with a good dose of humour. He is also a top bloke. 2 hours is a long time to be in a car with someone but Paul's lessons were always a pleasure."

"Very good teaching, helping with all aspects of the driving test and plenty of available lesson slots."

"Paul made learning to drive seem super easy which of course, it isn't! Every lesson was both well taught and a lot of fun, really friendly guy and so easy to get along with. He's got the patience of a saint and gave me more practise in the areas I needed most help which built my confidence massively. I passed first time which is a tribute to his fab teaching!"


"Learning how to pass my test felt easy. Paul put me at ease, pulled me out of my bad habits and was always calm and relaxed when teaching.
I passed my test 1st time with one minor (that I shouldn't of got!) I would well recommend this guy to anyone wanting to learn!
As well as being an amazing teacher, he is also one of the funniest people I know!"
David took his Test in Hither Green. Unfortunately I was unable to take him to his test due to a prior booking but he made proud when he called to tell me he passed! Well done, see you soon David!
"Paul was a very good and dedicated driving instructor. I was a complete novice when he took me on, and thanks to a great deal of patience and dedication from his part, I was turned into a competent driver in the short space of three months. We encountered a few problems in my first two driving tests, some of which were beyond our control (we still believe I actually passed on my first test), and whilst I didn't in the end pass the test on his car (he was otherwise engaged on the day), I couldn't have passed my third test with a single minor fault without him. I will definitely contact him for the plus pass certificate once I secure a car."

"Best instructor I've had, good quality of service, great communication and overall enjoyed learning every minute!!"

"A lot was covered in the lessons which meant I was ready for my test fairly quickly, and everything was taught to me well and was practiced thoroughly so I knew what to expect. Also I was given freedom to focus on things I wasn't that confident on which helped on improving those things. My instructor also identified some areas which I needed to improve on which we then focused on to improve and get better."

"After having trouble with my first instructor Paul was a great choice to help me get back on the road learning. He was always friendly and accommodating and I always felt confident with his tutoring. He was patient with me when I struggled and that was a massive plus for me. Was certainly a massive influence in helping me pass my test 1st time."

"I have had a wonderful experience with BSM. My driving instructor Paul has been expectional. He maintained a level of professionalism, but at the same time he would also approach me in a friendly way. I have had previous driving instructors and Paul by far has been the best! He constantly motivated me, ensured that I made the most of my lesson. Paul is very knowledgeable and is great at his job! His interpersonal skills are excellent. I am very happy that I had a driving instructor like Paul as he made me feel confident when driving. I looked forward to every driving lesson as he made the lesson fun. Thanks so much Paul!"

"Paul was a top instructor and was very easy to book lessons with. I would recommend paul to anyone and was great to learn with the time I was with him "

"I had already been driving for some time but wasn't happy with my instructor, so switched to Paul who was absolutely fantastic. My confidence and ability rose immediately and the improvement in my driving was clear from the very first lesson.
Paul was great at highlighting what I needed to improve on and making sure I was happy at the pace/progression of the lessons, and was very easy to schedule lessons with.
Would definitely recommend"




"Paul's explanations and instructions were clear and thorough, allowing me to get the most out of each lesson. Paul is also very patient and calm, and has a good sense of humour, which helped me to feel confident driving and also made my lessons go quicker. The hourly rate that I paid through BSM seemed a little expensive, but I feel that this was justified by the high level of service that I received"

"Great instructor very professional and helpful would recommend paul to anyone"

"I couldn't rate Paul more highly. As a very nervous learner driver he was exceptionally patient, kind and encouraging. His sense of humour and excellent teaching skills ensured that I passed second time and am now a confident driver - something I thought I would never be. He will also be teaching my son to drive in a few months and will be recommending him to anyone looking to learn. "

"Paul was a brilliant instructor. He was professional, informative and patient. I believe that I would not have passed my test on the first attempt without his guidance. Thank you Paul"





"After I failed my test, I realised that I needed to go back to the drawing board. I changed driving instructors and I was AMAZED at the difference! Paul is a patient, understanding and friendly driving instructor who always put me at ease in the car. Paul helped me understand that even though I was a 'satisfactory' driver, I needed to work on some of the essential driving skills not only needed to pass my test but to become a safe driver in the future. Paul allowed me to work at my own pace, but also pushed me to tackle areas I found difficult. If you are looking for an excellent driving instructor who has a good sense of humour and deliver results to help you pass your test - I strongly recommend learning to drive with Paul! I finally passed my test and can reverse around the corner like a real pro! Thanks so much!"
Neil Williams: "Paul is extremely patient and explains driving techniques very well. He is also very friendly and was very keen for me to pass my driving test. Very narrowly missed out on a first-time pass and passed the second attempt with only one minor. Highly recommended"
Hana K: "When I first started my lessons I did not enjoy learning. I contacted BSM and they offered me to change the instructor and I could see a huge difference when I did my lessons with Paul. He is a great instructor, explains perfectly, professional has a great sense of humour which puts you at ease during the lessons. For me he is the best of the best. "
