Osman called me up for some refresher lessons. He hadn’t driven for over 5 years and just wanted to polish his skills so he could buy a car to drive to his new job. He was a pleasure teach and picked up things very quickly. Wishing you the best Osman.

“ 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.“

Richard had an amazing driving Test in Hither Green. He passed with flying colours only getting 1 driver fault.

Stephan took a semi intensive course with me and passed his test in Hither Test first time. He had taken a few lessons a many years ago but wanted to get his licence asap so we worked really hard together preparing him for his test which he aced!

“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.”

Harriet took an intensive course with me over a 2 week period and took and passed her test in Hither Green Test Centre first time. She worked so hard and really deserved to pass with flying colours. I shall look forward to seeing her for some motorway lessons soon.

"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."

Cassie took her Test in belvedere and was a pleasure to teach, passing first time!! As well as learning to drive a car she was also learning to ride a motorbike - look forward to see you on the road!

"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 :)."

Dan passed in Belvedere Test Centre

"Having failed a couple of tests a few years ago, I picked driving back up booking a few lessons with Paul.

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."

Zsnatte passed in Erith - many congratulations!

"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!"

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."

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."

Well done to Louise to a great 1st time pass at Hither Green Test Centre.

"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 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"

"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!"
