Expert driving lessons in Peterborough and the surrounding areas
Choosing a driving school or individual driving instructor is a big decision, and one which has a significant bearing on how successful you are likely to be.
To think that all schools or instructors are the same would be a big mistake. A good instructor could significantly reduce the amount of hours you’ll need and the cost you’ll incur in achieving your target.
Cost is always going to be a consideration but choosing the cheapest can often prove to be a false economy.
For example, 40 hours @ £40 an hour will lead to a total spend of £1600, whilst a cheaper instructor charging £35 an hour but taking 50 hours will cost £1750 in total.
We will always be competitive with our pricing but believe in what we do and the quality we provide and therefore may not be the cheapest you can find.
"Helped me hold my nerve"
I would highly recommend MPH Driving Academy. I had Caroline as my instructor and I couldn't recommend her enough.
She helped me pass my test 1st time with only 2 minors and helped keep my nerves in before the test. Thank you!

"The feedback at the end of each lesson was good"
I had a great experience with Mark as an instructor. The lessons were enjoyable, always started on time and never finished early. Great teaching, organised and really patient. The feedback provided at the end of each lesson was particularly good as I was provided with a summary of the drive that highlighted areas to focus on during private practice and the next lessons. Thank you so much for getting me through my test - would definitely recommend MPH Driving Academy for anyone looking to book driving lessons in Peterborough and the surrounding areas.

What can I say. It was an absolute pleasure learning with MPH. Mark is so patient and very easy to talk to. The car is lovely to learn in and was always in immaculate condition.
