Tim Ager just left a new 5-star review of Passfaster Driving School:
I would 100% Recommend pass faster, I had Steve Gurney as an instructor and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better instructor. He’s very patient, keeps you reassured and is just a really nice guy, helped me pass first time and never failed to make me feel confident on the road!

Managed to pass first time thanks to my instructor, Stephen Gurney, I started learning with a family member and decided to go further and be test ready I needed a real instructor. Steve picked up on and corrected all the bad habits I had been making learning with a family member and helped me master all the manoeuvres in no time. He was super helpful at giving me tips to improve my driving and giving me detailed and constructive feedback at the end of every lesson so I could see improvement with each and every lesson. Would definitely recommend, thanks Steve. Luke Horton

I had a first class experience. My instructor was Stephen Gurney and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He was patient, thorough, his tips and advice were excellent, and he was great company too! Thanks to him I passed 1st time, and I can’t thank him enough, he’s brilliant. If you want the best, then request this guy. Thanks for everything Steve! Aaron Kelly

I have just passed my driving test first time with Sarah Smith at Passfaster and I can’t recommend her enough. I was super nervous about driving, but Sarah’s calm and friendly teaching style put me at ease, and despite my nerves I really enjoyed learning to drive. Importantly, Sarah pushed me to make progress on every lesson, to face my fears and to believe in my own abilities. I always felt safe during my lessons and from day one, Sarah taught me to be safety conscious constantly aware of the road around me. I had some hairy moments but Sarah never gave up on me, constantly reassuring me and helping me to move forward. Can’t thank her enough and couldn’t recommend her more.

Sarah Smith, 5 star instructor ⭐️
Had Lessons with Sarah Smith starting in Summer 2019 and Passed first time in November of that year. Lessons were always fun with her and it never felt like I was wasting my time, she always kept me calm and confident whilst driving, always pushing me further each lesson and making me believe in my own ability. I never felt unsafe whilst driving with her as her persistence in teaching the importance of hazard awareness and safety conscience approaches instilled early on in our lessons and reinforced throughout allowing me consistently improve in my ability to identify and minimise risky behaviours in my own driving even now as a licensed driver. I felt I made great progress in every lesson with her and that the lessons were worth every penny. She was also very understanding and helpful when arranging lessons with her in the Autumn after I had moved back to uni away from Liverpool and I never felt like I was losing progress because of this when I would visit back for a lesson. She has also taught both my sisters who have also passed their tests first time and are now very competent and safe drivers who regularly take long road trips around the country. Besides all her great Qualities as a driving Instructor she is also a very kind, down to earth person who you can have a good laugh with without taking your eye off the Road. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Sarah (sorry the review is late!😬😂) Nicholas Rhodes

I passed 2nd time with Sarah, when I first started my lessons I couldn’t even get out of my own road but with Sarah’s help and encouragement she turned me into a confident driver, if your looking for a driving instructor I would highly recommend Sarah, thanks again for making me believe in myself

Instructor – Sarah Smith
I passed my driving test last week. Sarah is a great teacher easy to talk. I started from 0 and was scared to touch the steering wheel))) Sarah and I quickly found a common language and she was able to choose the optimal tasks for each lesson. I can’t thank her enough for all that patience and detailed explainations over and over again))) Now I drive confidently and with pleasure. and that’s great!

Your testimonial:: I’m in my mid-20’s and I needed to get on the road ASAP. Sarah was an amazing instructor and without her I can honestly say I wouldn’t have passed 1st time. She built up my confidence in driving and was so easy to communicate with. From our first lesson I felt very comfortable with her which allowed me to progress at a relativity fast pace without feeling I was ‘out of my depth’ at any point. I’m now driving in a foreign on the other side of the world, and I’m completely confident in my own abilities and my awareness of the road all thanks to Sarah. I cannot recommend her enough to learners of all levels of experience and age.

Your testimonial:: Im a 17 year old lad, I decided to take driving lessons as wanted to get to college and back without having to ask anyone. Sarah was my driving instuctor, she is amazing, she pushed and encoraged me to do my best and is so knowledgeable. When I first started I would not leave our little square or go into second gear… She was patient and gave me the confidence to actually believe I could pass my test. She motivated me to take my theory and encoraged me when I hit any hurdles. She became a friend as well as my instuctor. She is never bad tempered, never shouts (even when youve braked on a roundabout…) she is cool headed and such fantastic instuctor can not recomend her highly enough. With herr I passed my test and am a confident careful driver because of Sarahs instruction. Than you so very much for giving me my independance!!!! Best instructor you could possibly have

Your testimonial:: I am an older driver and be it a reluctant one… Due to circumstances I needed to drive. Contacted Pass faster and I was put in touch with Sarah. From day one she is easy to get on with and be with, fantastic instructor. Will work with you at your own pace, building your confidence and supporting you. She never ever raises her voice or loses her patience and is very knowledgeable. She always remains supportive and calm even when you are panicking she understands then puts you back on track… She has been an amazing teacher and believes in you and motivates you. I began to enjoy my driving which is something I would never ever have believed. I passed my test first time and it is down to her, it has given me independence and freedom I needed. I am so appreciative or her patience and clear instruction would never have done it if not for her. Thank you so very much Sarah. Older reluctant drivers give them a call you wont look back…

Emily Gillett just left a new 5-star review of Passfaster Driving School:
My instructor was Peter Anderson He really boosted my confidence and calmed my nerves driving (especially when he knew that certain aspects used to really freak me out), and he was very patient and straight to the point. He was always up for a laugh as well as ensuring I was always learning and improving my driving. He’s a very experienced instructor who I could’t recommend highly enough to anyone. He always went above and beyond with helping me learn and explaining things, thanks for everything Peter. Made up I’ve passed!! Emily G

My instructor was Peter Anderson He really boosted my confidence and calmed my nerves driving.

I passed my manual license test today at the first attempt. It wouldn’t have been possible without my instructor (Peter Anderson). He was quick to identify where I was going wrong and how to improve. He was also patient when working through problems that I found difficult to work past.
He also had a great sense of humour which helped settle me if I was feeling under pressure from other road users.
Overall the proof is in the results and I now hold a license so 10/10 would recommend to a friend (and already have!).
Sean Thomas

I have recently passed my driving test with PassFaster driving school under the tutelage of Peter Anderson. I was a little weary of who to take my lessons with due to the many driving schools/instructors in the city.
However, I was recommended Peter by a family member (who had recently been taught by Peter) and I’m so glad of it. From the very first contact with Peter he was approachable and had a good sense of humour which made me feel at ease. Peter made me feel comfortable and I was confident from the first time we spoke that I’d made the right choice.
I was initially apprehensive about learning to drive but came to really look forward to taking my driving lessons with Peter, despite his ribbing of me for being an Everton fan (I’d say the fact he is a Liverpool fan is the only negative I can say about him – although he’s one of the good ones).
Peter has a knack of explaining what is required and always went the extra mile to help me take the steps forward I needed to progress to where I am today.
Peter demonstrated excellent knowledge of not only the technical but mental aspects of learning to drive and driving, so much so it was at times like sitting next to Mystic Meg as he knew what I was going to do or was thinking without me speaking – I’m still awaiting them lotto numbers from you Peter!
I would and will be recommending Peter to all who ask and I would consider him a friend. Thank you Peter!

I’ve just passed with Peter Anderson as my instructor and I cannot recommend Peter enough. He immediately put me at ease and knew exactly where to focus to improve my driving skills effectively. I highly commend his ability to demonstrate knowledge of both the technical and theoretical aspects of driving. I’ll miss informing you about my latest strange pet acquisition! Simply put Peter is an excellent driver and instructor, cannot recommend enough absolutely 5* Thomas Green

Peter Anderson was a great an a patient instructor, as most people expect driving skill to be easy to obtain in my case it wasn’t however due to Peters immense experience and the knowledge of the role he has to execute he helped me pass my driving test from the first go.

 Just passed first time after learning with Peter Anderson who’s been a great instructor that I’d highly recommend. Never had any problems whatsoever, always reliable with scheduled lessons and always on time. 
Always provided clear explanations and instructions out on the road. Also has a good way of telling you where you’re going wrong without ever seeming harsh or critical. 
Worked at a nice pace, never felt rushed and got all the topics covered well before the test date. Even looked beyond passing the test and gave me some good tips for driving in the future. 
Overall, great instructor and a good laugh too.
Jake Connor

Just traveling home from a fantastic week! Learning to driving with Peter Anderson, This as, me and Peter joked will be the last time I travel to and from wales from Liverpool on the train as I PASSED!! my test this afternoon!. 
Something that I wouldn’t of been able to do without Peter. 
From the first phone call I received from Peter I felt confident, and I would find it very comfortable driving under the inscription of this man! He goes that extra little mile to help! He’s funny with a wicked sense of humour which suited me down to the ground! With regular chats about football and the beautiful hills of wales really helped me conquer my driving! Without of course distracting one another from the main topic we had in front of us haha! 
I would 100 percent recommend peter to others (this is something I have already done). And I would also after spending more hours with him this week than I have done with my own wife I would also call him a mate! 
Thank you pass faster, for picking such a brilliant driving instructor for me to learn from, honestly without Peter I would be on this same train with that horrible green plastic still in my wallet but instead I’ve got a brand new pink one in the post and a blue certificate in my bag! 
But most importantly Peter Anderson! From a blue to a red! Thank you very much! 
COYB!

Instructors: Peter and Kevin 

Peter Anderson was my instructor- patient, dedicated, understanding and very experienced guy, who knows his stuff and will get you a pass. I passed first time after lots of personal set backs in my life the past few years. Negative past experiences had affected my confidence and I thought I was never going to drive but I did it. I couldn’t have done it without Peter by my side. Thank you so much! Xx

I passed my test today on the first time with only two minors.

My first instructor was Peter. He basically taught me how to drive from scratch. His instructions were very very clear. I had no problem understanding him at all considering my first language isn’t English. He knows exactly what the examiners look for and his instructions are exactly the same as the examiners. He is very strict for some basic rules, such as mirror signal position speed and road position, which helped me to deal with more complicated situations at the later stage and also helped me avoid minor mistakes in the real test. He is also very familiar with the test area (Garston). He will take you to all routes the examiners might take you. Another point I would like to make is Peter recommended me to go to Aigburth station since I was living in city centre. You can consider whether it is convenient to you.

Since my theory test will expire in one month, I had to change an instructor at the end. Kevin is my second instructor. Kevin’s style was very different from Peter’s. After the first lesson with Kevin, he said I was ready to book for my test, which really boosted my confidence and made me trust myself more. From that point, I feel like I suddenly can drive haha. He also taught me the gearing theory. Lower gear gives more power and higher gear is more economic, which really helps me to decide which gear I should use in any situations. He also taught me how to approach a roundabout and right turns. His method is very logical and useful in real life driving. He is able to pick me up from where I am living, which definitely saved me lots of time. And I also got chance to drive in the city centre and practice my gears by dealing with lots of traffic. Kevin only works on weekdays but can do evening lessons and his timetable seems more flexible. I usually book my lesson a couple of days before, which helped me to fit my driving lessons into my busy work schedule. He drew everything on an IPad by using colourful lines and he can draw a simple car within 2 seconds, haha. Very impressive. I loved it. The only point I want to make is it is very difficult for Kevin to be on time, usually 15 minutes late. But it is not a big problem when you know about it .

Thank you so much again for taking me through the test.

Your testimonial:: I am extremely grateful for the experience I have had learning to drive. Peter provided me with the confidence I was lacking on the road. He always made me aware of everything I had to keep working on and what I was doing well, showing me where I was up to every lesson. Even in difficult moments he was patient and comforting and pushed me to do better every day. Thank you for the great service provided at passfaster and thank you Peter for being a great driving instructor.

Peter, the absolute legend taught me how to be a boss driver and I passed in super quick time. Thank you!

They me feel like I was family helped me with more than just my test am so great full of this company and my instructor…. Thank you all and a big thank you to PETE for putting up with me!! I HAVE PASSED WHOOOOOOO!! Cxx

I passed my driving test last Thursday and I am absolutely ecstatic!! I could not have done it without Peter (Peter Anderson

From the very first lesson he understood me, how I worked, what caused me stress and my lack of confidence I had in myself. Every lesson he worked on different things with me or if something specific was bothering me, he made sure we went over it until I felt 100% and got it right.

Peter is very reliable, patient, understanding and honest when I needed the truth. I could not praise him enough. Peter is exceptionally professional but also has a great sense of humour and able to take a joke… good job as I accidently insulted his ‘old’ age a couple of times! Ha!

I feel lucky to have had Peter as my instructor, cannot praise him enough and I will be forever thankful. I highly recommend passfaster and Peter to anyone who is wanting to learn to drive!!

Name:: Megan Hope

He allows you to develop at your own pace and encourages you to keep trying. I would recommend Peter to any of my family and friends, he genuinely cares about his students and you feel comfortable with him straight away. He is also very flexible and he was always able to fit me in, even with me working full time. I can’t thank him enough for all the help and support he has given me and I wouldn’t have passed my test without him!!

He calmed me down, when I needed calming, He built up my confidence when it was low and he was honest when I needed the truth. I could not praise him enough. Was a pleasure to meet and get to know Peter. I will be forever thankful. Highly recommend passfaster to anyone who is considering learning to drive.

Name:: Jade Wood
Your testimonial:: I passed my test first time with Peter, hes a comforting, excellent driving instructor and i highly recommend. I had lessons with another instructor previous to peter and couldnt get the hang of driving, then meeting peter he taught me everything i know about driving and made me a confident driver! Thank you peter

Instructor name:: Peter Anderson
Your testimonial:: My cousin passed his test with Peter and recommended him to me. I hadn’t been in a car for 10 months since failing a test in November 2015, so Peter took me on an assessment lesson and advised me to book 10 hours to get me to full test standard. I thought this wouldn’t be enough, but I booked the 10 hours as advised. I provided Peter with the dates and times of my availability, which he adhered to as best as he could in order to give me a solid driving schedule leading up to the test date. Peter was extremely patient throughout my endless questions (there were a lot!) and errors (even more than the questions!), and he told me exactly what I needed to hear in order to calm my nerves. Peter helped me to believe in my own ability and I managed to pass first time with him in October 2016, so I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Peter, he is a great instructor and a really nice guy. Thanks Peter.

Name:: Helen Morrisson
Instructor name:: Peter
Your testimonial:: I had two driving instructors prior to pass faster over a period of 10 years. This year, I’ve had 40 hours worth of driving with Peter (- clearly not a natural ) and, finally, I passed! Peter is the best driving instructor I’ve had. He was very experienced in dealing with the pitfalls and traps of being a learner and gave excellent advice. It feels as though he cares very much about you, as a student, and is very accommodating in trying to fit you in (time wise) and about addressing your needs. He’s also a good psychologist (which is very much needed if you’re prone to getting overwhelmed and turning into a rabbit in headlights). The only down side is that he doesn’t drink or eat sugar so you have to be creative in buying him a present when you pass!

Name:: Lynda Murray
Instructor name:: Peter
Your testimonial:: I learned how to drive when I was 18 but I lacked confidence and could not pass my driving test. 18 years later having a car became a necessity for my family, so after many hours of research on the internet I discovered that Passfaster was the best deal and they were so friendly and helpful. I met Peter on our first driving lesson in August, he immediately put me at ease and slowly built up my confidence. We have since shared many laughs and I have shed a few tears but ultimately Peter gave me the confidence and taught me all of the skills to sit my driving test, but more than that he gave me the tools to hopefully be a good driver for life. I cannot recommend Passfaster or Peter higher, I had a really positive driving tuition experience and I passed the test first time!!!! excellent school and wonderful instructor, thank you.

100% recommend Paul Quale

Passed first time today and my instructor was Paul Quale. I had previously had a few lessons with another instructor but decided to take a year out and then switch to Paul. He helped calm my nerves from my first lesson with him & he was always very patient with me, even when I would turn the wrong way or stall or have a mini breakdown about the manoeuvres😂 he knows the test area very well & had me well prepared and feeling confident going into the test. I will miss our lessons and his sense of humour, I can’t thank Paul enough for everything! 100% recommend, especially if you’re a nervous driver. Lauren

Had such a good experience with my driving instructor Paul Quayle. I had been getting lessons with another instructor for over a year and massively bombed my first test. I switched to Paul and passed my next test within 2 months of lessons with only 3 minors. Paul knows the roads and driving test very well and always put me at ease. Couldnt recommend more especially if you are nervous on the roads. Cara Macfarlane

I passed today with Paul Quale. I couldn’t recommend Paul enough. He put me at ease from the moment I started my lessons, and he’s been so patient with me when I got nervous.
Thank you so much. I would recommend passfaster to anyone 🙌🏻 Claire Keys

On 24th October 2019 I passed my driving test 1st time with only 3 minors.I am so grateful to my Instructor was Paul Quale he was so patient with me, I was a really panicky driver and would beat myself up if I stalled and turned left left when he said go right 😂 Paul was there with his calm witty personality and always a mentor on hand 😂.
In just 30hours I went from being very nervous and afraid of the road to feeling Confident on the road and passing first time. Thank you Paul.
