About Phill

Phill Godridge is a driving instructor who's been running his own independent driving school in Coventry for over 25 years, since 1997. He's personally taught over 500 people to drive, and he keeps things straightforward with two simple aims: teaching you how to drive properly and getting you ready to pass your test. He knows those aren't always the same thing, so he focuses on giving you the skills to handle whatever the road throws at you, not just rehearsed routines. If you learn with Phill, expect a calm, reassuring approach. His students mention how he talks them through procedures when they're nervous, and he averages about a 60% first-time pass rate. He works on a first-come-first-served basis, so it's wise to book in advance. He's a registered member of the DIA and the Professional Driving Instructors Association in Coventry, and he's written some books on driving too. He picks you up and drops you off from home, work, or college, and you get the full hour or two to yourself with no piggy-backing.

I passed my test and it has opened up a whole new world, seeing places I would not have seen otherwise.
