I’ve been taking driving lessons from Paul Scotney from This is Driving for the past 18 months (I had a test booked 6 months ago but his car had a mechanical problem which meant that I had to re-book). I have just passed my test on my first attempt with 2 minor faults. Paul’s instruction is always clear, concise and effective. He’s a very understanding and thoughtful person, so just right for a driving instructor. His criticisms are always fair, and I improved very quickly under his instruction and guidance. His method is very practical, as he always used real-time examples in lessons to help illustrate trickier points and concepts. Overall, I would definitely recommend This Is Driving to anyone in Nottingham or the surrounding areas who wishes to learn how to drive, or improve their driving. 5 stars.

Passed first time with Paul, what a legend! Highly recommended driving school 👌

Honestly if you're looking for an instructor who will help you pass first time, Paul is the man to see. Paul makes you look forward to every single lesson and makes your experience on the road enjoyable. Not only does he explain everything thoroughly but he also explains it in such a simple way that just clicks within you. If you are up for a debate and up want to express your own thoughts about driving, Scotney always listens and that’s what makes him stand out from others. It has been a great pleasure getting taught by him and I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get behind the wheel. I know you see this Scotney and I thank you. -Mr T

I passed first time with Paul and couldn't recommend him highly enough. I was fairly late to driving and always felt like it was something 'other people' did and something I would never be able to do. Paul made me feel capable and confident. He's professional, reliable and shows genuine passion for your advancement. He's an all round lovely, funny human and I looked forward to every lesson.

Paul was an absolute legend. Ensured he found out about how I liked to learn early on. Really good communication throughout and lessons seemed to fly by. Really enjoyable experience and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn how to drive.

Amazing Instructor and a pleasure to work with towards getting your driving tests completed. Its been a roller-coaster for us (problems outside of our control) However, both still pushed to carry on. Such at ease behind the wheel, always having a laugh and a joke. More like going out in the car with a friend than a teacher so thank you for all the support Paul, you truly are one in a million instructor! Couldn't recommend more if i tried!! 😆

After getting in contact with This Is Driving, I was on the road really quickly. My instructor Paul was brilliant - he was patient, motivating and funny! He showed a real passion for teaching and engaged me when planning lessons - he gave me the opportunity to practice the things I wanted/needed to, which gave me a lot of confidence. I think he recognised fairly quickly that I needed to build confidence; it was wonderful having an instructor who made an effort to understand how I operated and used that knowledge to figure out how he could help me. I passed first time and would recommend This Is Driving to anyone wanting to learn! :)

My driving instructor was Paul and he was absolutely fabulous. He really helped improve my confidence behind the wheel, after a few push backs, and within 3 months of lessons with him, I had passed my driving test! I would definitely recommend to anyone :)

Paul is an absolutely fantastic instructor who I would recommend very highly. I found all the lessons to be paced perfectly, well organised and crammed full of new learning. At the same time, they were very chilled which really helped to build my confidence on the roads. Paul certainly goes the extra mile and helps you think about driving long after you have passed your test. I have found this to be extremely invaluable! I passed first time which is a real testament to his skill and expertise as a teacher.

I cant not explain how grateful I am to have had fantastic teaching from the great Lord Paul Scotney at This Is Driving. After having previous lessons, I never felt very confident to drive but after changing to This Is Driving, I passed my theory FIRST time and FIRST time in my actual test! I have enjoyed every moment of learning in the car with him. Each lesson we did something new which made each lesson enjoyable. He would always ask how my driving was doing and what I could do personally to improve my drive for next time. As soon as I started having lessons with him, I felt comfortable and at ease being in the car with him. I can't thank Paul enough for his fantastic teaching. I highly recommend This Is Driving x

I passed my test first time due to excellent teaching from Paul Scotney. He explained everything in a way that could be understood easily and listened to my thoughts. He also makes the lessons interesting and is someone who is very easy to get along with so a lesson is never boring. I broke my collarbone partway through my lessons so I had to stop for over a month whilst it healed, and when I could drive again I got right back into the lessons with Paul who helped build my confidence in my driving back up again. I also did the Pass Plus driving with him and recommend him and This is Driving to anyone not only looking to pass their test first time, but also to become the best driver they can be.

I had my driving lessons with This Is Driving (Paul Scotney) and passed first time with 1 minor!!! Paul was a fab driving instructor and made me feel 100% comfortable in the car. He had a way of explaining things which meant I fully understood them and he has a great sense of humour. I would highly recommend This Is Driving to anyone looking for lessons!!

Cannot speak highly enough of This is Driving and particularly Paul for helping this incredibly anxious driver to pass first time! I would recommend contacting This Is Driving for anyone wanting to learn - even if you are a nervous driver like I was!

By far one of the greatest, if not THE greatest driving schools around! Incredibly patient, understanding and all round epic instructors there are especially Paul. Top driving instructor and top bloke

Had many driving instructors over the years. Took my test five times and just couldn't seem to pass. Went with This is Driving and they got me through my test no problem - learned so much and was made to feel positive and eager again when I'd almost given up hope. Thoroughly recommend.

Excellent driving tuition from Pete and incredibly supportive as I needed to get a driving license in a short amount of time, even getting up early for morning of my test! The only negative about passing my test is I'll miss the lessons!

P. C.

I have been thoroughly impressed with this is driving, my instructor Paul made the lessons a fun and enjoyable experience that I looked forward to each week and that I have missed since passing first time, thanks again Paul!

R. S.

Mr Scotney, your perseverance and patience with our son was second to none! I can't recommend you highly enough. Anyone out there with dyslexia etc., give this chap a call. You'll never regret it. Thanks so much Paul.

100% would recommend Paul Scotney at This Is Driving. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our daughter Kristen passed first time, this is all down to Paul’s amazing teaching and support. He was always reliable and the lessons were well constructed. Kristen looked forward to each lesson as Paul made them enjoyable and fun. A great guy and highly recommended. Thank you so much!
