Phylip James

Phylip James runs PJ's Automatic Driving School in Northampton, and he's been helping people pass their test for over 15 years. He's a fully qualified Grade 6 Approved Driving Instructor, which is the highest grading you can get - only 6% of instructors achieve it. That means you're learning with someone who's really good at what they do, and he combines that with a friendly, patient style to give you the best chance of success. If you learn with Phylip, you'll be in an automatic car, which he specialises in. He finds it helps students gain confidence more quickly because there's no clutch or gears to worry about, so you won't stall. You can focus on the road ahead and other aspects of driving instead. It's also handy for stop-start traffic in town, and many people need fewer lessons and find the test easier in an automatic. His students often say they couldn't have asked for a better instructor, enjoying each lesson and feeling supported all the way. He's based in Northampton and offers a chat to book your first lesson. With his experience and top grading, you're in safe hands whether you're a complete beginner, need a refresher, or are preparing for your test. It's all about making driving straightforward and building your skills at a pace that suits you.
