I switched to Patrick after having a bad experience with my previous instructor, who was very impatient, which effected my confidence.

Patrick’s professionalism and patience helped me a great deal. Thankfully, I have just passed my driving test today. I would definitely recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a driving instructor.

Thank you very much Patrick :)

A huge thank you to Patrick for teaching me! After being a nervous driver, I managed to PASS 1ST TIME with Pat’s help!! He truly is a brilliant teacher and is very relaxed and patient! Before I started learning with Talbot, I thought I’d never be able to do things like parallel park, but Patrick has fantastic techniques and a great way of explaining and breaking things down and making things easy! Would highly recommend Talbot!! Thanks again Patrick!! :-)

I passed first time. I had 3 months before I went back to university to re-learn how to drive and Patrick made this possible. He’s an excellent instructor, the best i’ve had. He’s easy going and explains things really well. He’s friendly and easy to approach. If you’re thinking about going with anyone, make it Talbot SOM (Patrick) you won’t regret it… i don’t.

Thanks again Patrick

Passed today! Thanks to a lovely man, Patrick! Highly recommend this guy, I’ve been learning to drive for the passed 8 years on and off and finally learnt with the right guy and passed first time thanks to him! Best advice he gave me was to forget the mistakes! Top man! And I suppose he was pretty funny too..

Passed my test yesterday first time having been learning with Patrick. He was very patient with me and particularly when I was having an off day and saying “I can’t do it!” But he would be strict with me when he needed to be. I started to learn in the past and gave up and I guess it’s because I hadn’t found the right instructor before. I really couldn’t have done it without him and the schedule in which he taught me everything I needed to know was perfectly timed. I would highly recommend Patrick. Many thanks again!

I moved to Talbot after I failed my first driving test. I moved because my old instructor was very unreliable and unprofessional. Patrick was the complete opposite to my first instructor he was always on time for lessons and was very professional. The best thing about learning with Patrick is that you feel very comfortable about asking question even if they are silly ones.
I would defiantly recommend Patrick as a driving instructors and will defiantly be coming back to him for motorway lessons.
Thanks Patrick

I passed first time with Patrick as did my brother….my wife had previously failed four times with another instructor but passed on her fifth attempt thanks to Patrick….soooooo happy!
Patrick as an instructor knows what he is doing, very practical and friendly approach and doesn’t rush things or delay you’re progress.
Big thank you.
