Nigel Thomas (Automatic)

Bio:

I live in Portsmouth and have two children. I enjoy keeping in shape, which has become more challenging since hitting the big 5-0! I particularly enjoy martial arts and have been practising for more years than I care to remember!

I have an extensive background in teaching/training adults and hold numerous qualifications including PTLLS and City & Guilds in Communication and Conflict Management.

I became a driving instructor because I relished the thought of a new challenge and I’m passionate about helping people reach their full potential and acquire practical, life-changing skills. Passing your driving tests ticks both of those boxes!

The skills I have developed whilst teaching adults for the last 20 years have been invaluable in teaching my pupils to become safe and confident drivers for life. I hope to see you behind the wheel soon.

I drive a white automatic Peugeot 208 GT registration number KW 73 TXX so you know what to look for on the first lesson.

Reviews:

Massive thanks to Nigel for helping me pass my driving test. I had a different instructor prior to Nigel and he caused me some grief and anxiety behind the wheel. But with Nigel I felt calm and collected, it was like driving with a friend, and in no time at all I was test ready. Inconspicuous Circumstances

Driving with Nigel was absolutely AWESOME!
I passed with only 2 minors he gave me the confidence and know how to pass. I guarantee anyone that drives with Nigel will pass. Ismail Sadiq
