Jordan Enever, Chelmsford

"Hi Phil, still can't believe I passed! Thank you so much for your help, I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. You truly did make driving a pleasurable and easy experience. Thank you!"
Ben Chilvers, Billericay

"Thank you so much, Phil, for the lessons. You never once made driving feel like a chore and I always looked forward to my lessons. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor."
Annabel Dines, Writtle

"PHIL IS THE BEST DRIVING INSTRUCTOR.Thank you for everything Phil, considering I couldn't even steer the car when I first started and I always got so flustered and you made me a very calm person! You've been so helpful throughout the whole time of driving with my theory, car then test so thank you so much!"
Karina Fox, Chelmsford

"I lost all my confidence after having lessons with another instructor before Phil. I hated driving and thought I was useless. Phil taught me more in 2 hrs than the 16 I had previously, we had many laughs along the way and will recommend him highly. Thanks again, Phil, I'm truly thankful for all your patience and your time"
Demi Murphy, Witham

"The first thing you'll probably notice about Essex drive is the fantastic first time pass rate. For me there was no such luck. Having previously learnt with several driving instructors I came to Della; who was incredibly patient, calm and fun. Most importantly she never gave up, helping me to regain my confidence after several failed attempts. If you’re having trouble learning to drive or passing your test then go to Della, it’s like driving with a friend!"
Laura, Chelmsford

"Hi Phil, just wanted to say a massive Thankyou for the lessons, you really were great. Not only did we have many laughs but you were approachable when I had questions to ask. Thankyou for the lessons, hope you have a long and happy future. You may also be contacted by one of my friends as I have recommended you. Thanks again, Luci" :)
Luci Gibson, Wethersfield

"Thank you so much Phil for helping me pass. Would highly recommend Phil as an instructor he is patient and has a great way of teaching, I always felt after every lesson I'd learnt something new! He gave me the best preparation I could have for my test and I managed to pass first time! Thank you so much. Sophie".
Sophie Humphrey, South Woodham Ferrers

"Thank you to Phil. Without Phil's help i wouldn't have passed at all. He makes it so simple to understand and taught me a complete different way to how i was taught before and it worked with passing today. A great bloke and a great instructer. Thank you Phil".
Craig Vinall, Chelmsford

"I had the best experience learning to drive with Phil. His relaxed teaching made me feel at ease and confident. Phil was always on time for my lessons, we always had a laugh and I felt like I was improving every lesson- I couldn't recommend Phil highly enough"!

"Hi Phil, after a day or so reflection I would like to thank you for everything with regards to the driving. You are a wonderful instructor and I would urge anyone to take lessons with yourself! Thank you again,
kind regards Jake" :)
Jake Henley, Chelmsford

"Hey Phil! Thank you so much for everything Took me on at very short notice & boosted my confidence so much, that after less than 20 hrs, I was ready to take my test, which I passed first time, after not progressing much at all after over 40 hrs with a previous instructor. Would recommend you to everyone, if I could. Thanks again!!"
Ashleigh Mitchell, Chelmsford

"Learning with Phil has been incredibly helpful and insightful and confidence boosting, but most of all, a lot of fun! With his endless stories for every occasion, his dry humour and his amazing positivity, I'm so glad I met him at YDS at Sandon (which I would recommend to anyone about to start driving!) and would very much like to thank him for helping me become a confident driver! (Who would have thought i'd be this nice about him?!)"
Becky Lee, Ingatestone

"I really enjoyed learning to drive with Phil and would recommend him to anyone looking to start learning! He is relaxed and easy to talk to. He helped build my confidence and made me feel at ease in every lesson. As it got closer to the date of my test, he let me decide what I wanted my lessons to focus on. With Phils help, I managed to pass my test first time with only 5 minors. Thank you Phil!"
