I thought I would never pass my driving test I had a real fear and block about the test! I learnt when I was 17 and then again now over 20 years later! I am so glad we found Peter Skelton... he has been so patient teaching me to drive and help me get over my insecurities and confidence issues and pass the test! He always had faith in my abilities and helped me learn from any mistakes I made! I ended up passing my 2nd test with No Minors! An amazing achievement 23 years in the making! This has given me so much independence and I cannot thank Peter enough! Book your lessons now Peter Skelton is the best!

Peter has taught both my son and daughter to drive. My daughter has just passed her test and is over the moon. Peter did a great job of teaching them both. They were very different in their abilities, my son had a lot of practice before having lessons and only needed 6 hours of lessons before he passed. My daughter was completely new behind the wheel and needed more time and lessons but Peter’s patience and great teaching meant that she passed as soon as possible.

Peter is a fantastic driving instructor. His teaching methods are a breath of fresh air. He uses a variety of techniques to make his pupils aware of road signs which helps them to think ahead and less likely to make mistakes. He is calm and shows great patience which is invaluable for the more nervous driver. I recommend him highly.

Pete, always remained professional, keeping on-top of weekly progress through his trackers and would carry out regular Mock Tests. This helps to track your own progress and build confidence in your driving ability. Pete would never rush into any aspects of driving unless you had full confidence.

Pete would always remain flexible through lessons, if you had other commitments to make such as Private Appointments or Work Events. Pete would always reassure you leading up to your test that you can pass first time, realising your own potential and driving ability.
