Nelson Driver Tuition

Wow cool place

I agree with the two 5 star comments. Phil is a really good teacher and gives good advice about how to drive safely and avoid making mistakes on the road. 100% recommended.

After a bad experience with Phil I left a negative review (1 star) because he is by all means an awful teacher (as seen in the other reviews). After seeing the review I left Phil then proceeded to repetitively next my mother asking her to take it down and then called me trying to intimidate me (saying things like “this is being recorded”, “my brothers a detective Sergeant” and “I’m flagging your review”).You read that right; Phil is so upset over a one star review that was honest that he thought it was appropriate to call me and my mother. Absolutely disgusting behaviour that someone of his age should know is disgusting. What a strange little man.Went to the bother of signing in to my second Google account just to write this. Avoid this man at all costs. Disgusting.

Whilst his driving knowledge is great, his behaviour is less than adequateA condescending man who does not instil confidence to his students

Phil is an awesome teacher. Taught me how to drive manual good enough to pass my test in 3 lessons. Really nice bloke. 100% recommend

I had driving lessons recently with Phil, although he can drive and knows the rules very well he can be very intimidating and downright rude. At times he takes it beyond the driving situation and makes it personal, he made comments like “I’d hate to be your patient as a dentist”. It’s very off putting and makes your driving experience unpleasant and confidence plummet.

Had 2 sessions booked today which turned into a quick 10 minute drive because I could not stand being in the car with Phil. After about 5 minutes he made a remark that no teacher or instructor of any kind should make.Told me what I was doing wrong yet took his sweet time to give me the means to avoid making the same mistake.Made remarks towards my driving skills (“gee ya pretty poor with ya realestate aren’t ya?”), as if it were amusing.Seemed to enjoy having a chat too, which is not what I booked a driving lesson for.Tip for Phil: be a bit nicer and less condescending.

Said that he “wishes the best of luck to the poor bastard” who’s taking me for my driving test. Can’t put my disappointment into words. Avoid.
