About Peter

Hi, I'm Peter Skelton. I run an independent driving school that's been helping learners in Newbury, Thatcham, Basingstoke and the surrounding areas for over 17 years. We've got a great team of male and female instructors who teach both manual and automatic, and we're known for keeping high standards at all times. Whether you're a nervous beginner or someone who wants to get through quickly, we'll work at your pace, not ours. We offer intensive and semi-intensive courses over 1 to 4 weeks, but we always start with an assessment lesson to figure out exactly what you need. Parents and partners are welcome to sit in on lessons too, so they can see your progress and help with private practice. We also do motorway lessons, refresher courses, and Pass Plus, and we even throw in free theory test training for all our pupils. It's a friendly, patient approach that's helped lots of people pass first time.

I'm so thankful for Pete (Burke) being my instructor. He's so calm and patient and it's thanks to him that I passed my driving test first time with 1 minor.
