Bella From Rochester Passed 1st time with a clean sheet. 21st April 2026
"I had Phill as my driving instructor for a manual car for 5 months, practicing around Medway. Then doing my driving test in Gillingham.
I could not recommend him more. He is very patient and helps students to understand why road safety is important for everyone.
he provided me with a booklet which we filled out at the beginning and end of every lesson as a checklist, which helped to keep track of my progress.
I always felt very safe in the car with Phill. He is an excellent teacher which is proved as I got no minors on my first and only test"
Bella's Mum Rebecca
"We had a fantastic experience with this driving instructor.
My daughter started manual lessons in December 2025 and was ready for her test by April.
From the very beginning, Phill put her at ease and communicated clearly, which really helped build her confidence.
He was very reliable, always sending messages on the morning of lessons and was flexible with lesson lengths to suit her needs as she progressed .
One thing we particularly appreciated was how honest and professional he was in letting us know when he felt she was ready for her test.
A standout feature of his teaching was the pre-printed mini binder he provided. They updated it together after each lesson, which allowed her to track her progress, understand what to to expect next and even have input into what she wanted to focus on. It made the whole learning process feel structured and empowering.
overall, a patient, supportive and highly effective instructor.
I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend him"

"Learning with Phill at Skill4driver was a great experience.
He's incredibly knowledgeable. Honestly, It sometimes feels like he can predict what's going to happen on the road before it even does. That level of awareness makes you feel really safe and prepared.
He's patient, clear and a great at building confidence. Always giving helpful feedback without making you feel stressed. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive driving instructor"

"When I first started driving. Phill was always calm and friendly when I was absolutely terrified. I was so nervous, it took me four lessons to get out of first gear, but Phill Helped me through it all and I will always be grateful for the help and confidence he gave me. The good thing about Phill was that when I was learning I wasn't Learning to pass the test. I was learning to be a competent driver.
I would absolutely recommend Skill4driver because my driving instructor Phill was brilliant in the fact that, he always calmed me down and levelled me out when i was nervous, as well as if I was having a bad day. I knew Phill could make me laugh and everything would be okay"
Jeevs from Chatham Passed 1st time 2025
"I loved having lessons with Phill. Every lesson solidified confidence in my driving. A specific aspect I appreciated was his sharing of insights of car mechanisms and underlying decisions for the road layouts. Understanding why the road was laid out the way it was made it easy to navigate and anticipate issues, and knowing how the car works under the hood made driving feel more intuitive"
Wictoria from Chatham. passed 1st time 2025
"I would recommend Phill as a driving instructor as he not only teaches you to drive properly, he also teaches you a mindset. He teaches you how to think as a driver and provides a perspective which helps you navigate situations. Some instructors teach you how to pass but Phill teaches you how to drive and I have managed to pass first time with him"
