Reviews of Paul Harmes Driving School

After years of learning and failed tests, I started lessons with Paul and after only afew months i passed my test with only one minor fault. This was all thanks to Paul. I have had numerous driving instructors of the years and Paul is by far the best ive had. He is professional (but still up for a laugh) and most importantly he constantly teaches whilst out on the drive. Ive learnt so much. Great value for money. He has great indepth knowledge and lots of upto date resources so if things need explaining further hes great at helping you get your head round it. Hes also really patient and has never made me feel stupid for not understanding even simple stuff. I struggle with anxiety and Paul has really helped me with this too and has freely given tips on reducing driving nerves. I really thought id never pass my test but i did with Pauls help.

Paul was by far my best driving instructor i ever had. I have been through 3 instructors and Paul is Kind, loyal and by far the most understanding. He will teach you in your own learning style which is best to suit you. Their were times that you thought you couldn't pass but Paul had faith in you. But not only does Paul help you to teach driving. As soon as you have passed he also helps further on in your driving career which im sure no other driving instructors do this. So, if your looking for an instructor in the Norwich surrounding areas that are at amazing prices, a great in teacher then Paul is the instructor for you!!

The best driving instructor I have had
(unfortunately it’s sad to admit I’ve had 5 over the last 2 years)
Having been with XL driving, chilled, Red, I thoroughly recommend Paul for those who wish to find a reliable, dedicated and honest instructor.
Do not be fooled by the “big names” above- the instructors do not hold a common standard of quality for their work. It is pure pot luck- you may have a terrible instructor or a great one- so don’t read the reviews for the company itself as it doesn’t mean you’ll get the same instructor. I had a terrible experience with one of the companies which stressed me out a lot (company refused to get me a new instructor or repay me the owed block hours as the previous one decided to quit her job 1.5 months before my exam and kept the money)
Finally finding Paul Harmes I managed to pass my test first time with only 2 minors in 1.5 months. He plans the lessons well and has amazing materials to support learning- his experience really shows. He is super efficient, and nearly always spent extra 20 mins before or after the lesson to go over everything, get extra practice , or to just reassure me! He literally goes the extra mile.
His prices are incredibly competitive and excellent value- much better than the large driving schools mentioned above (again pot luck, but my instructors used to arrive on the dot and finish 10 minutes before the end). He also offers free car hire for your exam and a “no nonsense “ approach to driving.
Finally, his car is amazing and definitely helped me pass! It has cameras all around and visual assistance , as well as various safety features , which none of my previous instructors had. This helps with parking and stability during driving at high speeds a lot - and the examiner was impressed!
I would highly recommend him to beginner learners or those like me who have to switch instructors. Save yourself valuable time and money and choose Paul!

Well! What a time to learn to drive at the age of 42 - at the beginning of a pandemic! After trying two other instructors briefly, he was recommended to me by a friend and, straight away, I knew he was a better choice.
Two lockdowns later and today I passed my test, thanks to Paul; his patience, guidance and perseverance saw me through. I never expected to pass first time.
It's been emotional! He truly believed in me, and helped me push forward in life, to open so many more doors and options! Can't quite comprehend it has happened.
The upshot is: if you don't believe you are capable, Paul will teach you that you are.

Paul, is a nice and friendly guy. However, he will go above and beyond to help you achieve your goals. The car is well-equipped with various visual assistances, which will make your learning experience easier. Would thoroughly recommend.

Very friendly and understanding. Highly recommend! My first instructor with a different school was rubbish but can't fault 1 thing with Paul's driving school

Had to take a few hours with him as I needed to be ready for the test.
He is very good and I recommend to anybody in need of driving lessons!
