What learners say
★★★★★
I passed my driving test today with only a single minor fault, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Matthew is a wonderful instructor who instills confidence from day one. Instead of just teaching the bare minimum to pass the exam, he focuses on high standard, real-world traffic scenarios (Motorways/ Narrow country roads). Highly recommended for anyone wanting to become a truly safe and capable driver.

★★★★★
Matt is great driving instructor. He always kept the lessons calm and relaxed, which really helped build my confidence behind the wheel. Thanks to his support and guidance, I passed my test on 9th February 2026 with only 1 minor. I couldn’t recommend him enough!
★★★★★
Matt is an amazing instructor, really helped me, couldn’t have passed without him, couldn’t recommend him anymore. He’s a good person and a good friend.

Hi, I’m Matt
I’ve been teaching for over 6 years, and a lot of my learners come to me nervous, often after a bad experience somewhere else. I take the time to understand how you learn, and we go at your pace. No rushing, no judgement.
You’ll learn in a fully electric, automatic VW ID.5: quiet, smooth and easy to get used to.
ADI no. 840019.

How much are driving lessons?
£35 for one hour or £70 for two, in an automatic car. Block bookings bring it down to £33 an hour: £330 for 10 hours or £660 for 20.
Do you only teach automatic?
Yes, I specialise in automatic lessons. Most of my learners find automatics simpler and way less stressful, especially if they’re feeling nervous or coming back to driving after some time away.
How long are the lessons?
Usually one or two hours, depending on what works best for you. We’ll figure out what suits your schedule and learning style.
Do you help with the theory test?
Yep, I’m happy to offer guidance and support with your theory test while we’re working on your practical lessons.
Can you do refresher lessons or motorway driving?
Yes to both. Whether you passed ages ago and want to get back into it, or you’re ready to tackle motorways, I can help you feel confident and capable.
What car will I be learning in?
You’ll be in a fully electric Volkswagen ID.5. It’s automatic, quiet and smooth, with a high driving position and good visibility, which makes it a great car to learn in.
What areas do you cover?
I’m based near Tamworth and cover Tamworth, North Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield, Burton, and the surrounding areas. If you’re not sure whether I cover your area, just ask.
How do I book a lesson?
You can book and pay for a 2-hour lesson online. For a 1-hour lesson, or if you have questions first, message me on WhatsApp. You can also call or request a call back.
