Matthew was a very good instructor, he was always patient and informative and because of this I was able to pass on my first try. I would highly recommend him as an instructor.

Matthew was recommended to me by Mike, also great instructor at Best West Driving School, and I completed a short (~5 lessons) refresher course with him to rebuild driving skills to change my overseas driving "habits". Refresher training is arguably harder than teaching from scratch - you're correcting old habits instead of building new ones - but Matthew handled it excellently. His patience and practical, easy-to-apply advice made a real difference. I'd rate the experience an easy 5+ and would recommend him without hesitation.

Matt was a great instructor to have after not driving for so long, he practically taught me how to drive from scratch as he fixed a lot of bad habits of mine and filled in a lot of gaps in my knowledge about how to drive a manual and follow road laws properly. Through the many hours I drove with matt he was always polite and helpful when I would make repeated mistakes. Matt is also a good person to talk to while you drive, overall 10 out of 10, would drive with again.

Matthew Paulin is a very good driving instructor. He explained everything clearly during the lessons, even though there was a language difference. He was patient, professional, and helped me understand each part of the driving process very well. He corrected several mistakes and bad habits that I had developed over the years, and that made a big difference in my driving. I really appreciated his way of teaching and his calm attitude during the classes. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and supportive driving instructor

Matthew was amazing. With only one short lesson prior to my test. He managed to supply me with all the important steps to safely drive and execute my tasks. Called me on the bad habits I'd adopted over the years, when I previously heldl a licence.
Coasting was my problem but each time he called me on it, keeping me aware, as I was clearly unaware.
I was stressed and anxious but within minutes with his instruction and guidance I calmed right down and was more relaxed.
Could not fault him and I passed which adds merit to all mentioned above
Thanks Matthew and thank you Best West Driving School

Matthew was extremely friendly and helpful especially during my first lessons when I had to re-learn certain things. He always pointed out mistakes but made them easy to improve on and learn

Matt is an amiable person. His instructions are clear and concise, he takes the time to explain things and he will gently remind you over and over again for things like checking your mirror and to not coast before coming to a stop. This man is very wholesome and he has been trained really well.
