Big Tom is exceptional- thorough preparation and support, enabling our daughter Lottie to pass 1st time with one minor error.

We’ll be recommending Big Tom- don’t put up with 8 month waiting lists with other local driving instructors!

Tom helped me to achieve my goal of passing my test. He taught me all I need to know to be able to drive confidently and safely. Thanks Tom I really enjoyed learning with you are honest and a likeable bloke👍🏻 Ben Carroll
“…more than able to cater to your individual learning style…”
I recently completed a 45hr intensive driving course with Big Tom and cannot speak more highly of the experience. Tom is an excellent instructor and is more than able to cater to your individual learning style to find the best way for you to learn. If you’re looking to not just get a licence quickly, but also pass as a safe and confident driver, then a Big Tom course is ideal for you. Harry Bird
Brilliant instructor, got me through my driving test quickly and got my driving to a very high standard Ryan Rudd
“Big Tom Driving School was very devoted to my learning”
I just completed an intensive driving course with Tom and passed my driving test first time. From the moment I signed on for the intensive course, Big Tom Driving School was very devoted to my learning and making sure I had all the resources necessary to make the most of my experience. Communication from Big Tom was amazing- leading up to and throughout my course. Any queries I had were responded to swiftly and concisely. With regards to the in car learning time, Tom was very engaged in my learning throughout the course. He really cared that I got the most out of my time with him. It didn’t feel like I was driving to pass a test, but that Tom genuinely cared that I was a safe, confident driver, ready and comfortable to drive unaccompanied by the end of the course. He’s a candid, patient driving instructor who is very good at creating a stress-free environment to learn in. I would definitely recommend him/ his company to anyone learning to drive. Laurie Pereira
“…his mock tests are very accurate”
I did a 40h course with Tom he was very helpful and helped me get my driving ability to a good standard which got me to pass my test on the first run his mock tests are very accurate. He is very patient and will try explained things in different ways to help you understand anyone looking to do lessons I recommend Tom
“He helped me learn in a way that I was comfortable”
Tom made my learning to drive experience really enjoyable. He helped me learn in a way that i was comfortable with and that’s what helped me pass first time. I definitely wouldn’t recommend anyone but Tom. Ellie Letchford
“…flexible with the learning…
“Big thanks tom big tom My driving experience with big Tom was very good, i passed my test first time. I found Tom to be very pleasant and flexible with the learning on his course, i would highly recommend big tom
“…brought confidence I didn’t know I had…”
I couldn’t recommend tom enough, so patient and relaxing to drive with, definitely felt at ease driving with Tom. I’ve never been confident with driving but driving with Tom brought confidence I didn’t know I had. I passed within two weeks using his driving course and am absolutely over the moon with the experience I received.
“I was never a confident driver but with Tom that all changed”
Wow! What a fantastic driving instructor Tom is. I was never a confident driver but with Tom that all changed, it had been a year since I failed my test and in the 20 hour course Tom got me exactly where I needed to be, a confident, ready, safe driver, I couldnt be more grateful to him. He helped me with any bad habits I’d picked up, he was so easy to talk too, patient and he knows exactly what he’s doing! Brilliant instructor. Thank you Tom for helping me achieve what I honestly never thought I could!
“Exactly what I needed to get through”
Tom was amazing! I passed first time 😊 Tom showed amazing patience and reassurance during my time with him. Exactly what I needed to get through. The thing that separates Tom from the rest is that he teaches you how to drive safely after you’ve passed, rather than just teaching you how to pass the test. Honestly great instructor, cannot recommended him enough!
Very help and calm I would definitely recommend Tom to a lot more people thank you so much for helping me pass. Dulan Davies
“Saved me hours of lessons”
I decided to learn to drive in my 40’s and was nervous about doing so – Tom completely put me at ease and is a fantastic driving instructor. Tom was able to tap into the best way to teach me to drive overcoming any nerves and anxieties. Brilliant people skills means that in a short space of time I became a confident and good driver. What makes Tom different to other instructors is the amount of material / videos etc that you are given – saved me hours of lessons – and also that the emphasis is not just on passing your test – but becoming a real world driver! Could not recommend Tom more. Deborah White from Holbeach
“…my son passed on a route he had never been on before…”
My son did a 40 hour intensive course with Big Tom and passed his test first time the following week. He had to delay the course and test several times due to lockdown so my son really was anxious to pass. Tom doesn’t just take pupils around the test routes, he makes sure they can drive well. They went to Peterborough, Stamford, Grantham, Spalding and Boston and also down the A1. My son passed on a route he had never been on before. Tom is relaxed but makes it clear to pupils how important safe driving is. There are lots of course materials too which were really useful. Would definitely recommend Big Tom. Mrs Boothby
“…giving her that bit of extra confidence…”
Hi, I don’t know if you remember our daughter, Antonia, who you kindly took for a 2 hour lesson one morning a few weeks back, you said she was a good little driver. Well, she polished up a few little things that you had highlighted, did a lot more practice, and I’m pleased to say, she passed her test! Even though you only took her out once, you did play a part, in giving her that bit of extra confidence she needed, so thank you. Tony and Lynda Hubbard
“Fantastic!”
Fantastic!! Managed to pass my test first time after just 9 days with Tom. Would totally recommend to everyone. Stanley Hollamby from Bourne
“..comfortable and safe”
Thankyou for helping me to where I have got to, very friendly and calm. Made me feel comfortable and safe.
“Open a Kent branch”
Within 3 weeks of first contacting Tom, I had a driving licence. Couldn’t be happier. Open a Kent branch. James Williamson from Gillingham, Kent
“…reassuring throughout the process…”
Tom is so kind and patient and always explains things so well and carefully. I had problems with my driving test date due to Covid problems but he was so reassuring throughout the process. I can’t recommend him enough!
“…excellent learning techniques…”
“Would highly recommend BIG TOM 5 day intensive course. He made me feel very calm, confident and put me at ease from the first meeting. Tom is a very professional instructor with excellent learning techniques that helps you feel informed throughout. Doing the mock test was really beneficial as it prepared me for my test and gave me an insight of what I had to work on in future lessons. Booking is easy and convenient which is handy with a very busy work/home life. Tom is friendly with a pleasant attitude and easy to talk to. Would say to anyone considering learning to drive to go with BIG TOM you will not be disappointed and is well worth the money.” Sarah Eves from Spalding
“…your skill as an instructor”
“BIG TOM got my son through his driving test after a 20 hour intensive course, first attempt. That says lots on how big tom teaches, would recommend big tom to anyone wanting to learn to drive.
Thank you very much for getting will through his driving test . Will was at ease with you he felt relaxed and liked the way you taught him. Two weeks after his theory test, his driving test is passed – that is down to your skill as an instructor” Phil Abbott from Castle Bytham (Father of Will)
“I can’t believe that I’ve got my licence so fast. I picked BIG TOM because of the great reviews it has, and now I can see why. I’m so pleased that I picked BIG TOM” Grant Cousins from Peterborough
I began learning to drive with Tom from a beginner and have managed to pass my driving test. Tom is friendly and calm and helps you through any issues. Would recommend. Dylan Wright
“…easy to understand”
“Would highly recommend Big Tom, he made me feel very comfortable and at ease from the very beginning. His teaching style was very effective, and easy to understand, which was proven when I passed my test first time. He provides lots of resources (books, questions, and videos) which are extremely useful. Would definitely encourage anyone looking for an instructor to contact Big Tom” Hollie Lewis from Bourne
“1st class service”
“I can’t thank Big Tom enough! From the very first contact, to me passing my driving test first time, the whole experience has been very professional and easy. Even before I had my first driving lesson, I completed an online package, consisting of Youtube videos, Q and A’s and reading resources, I found this extremely helpful. Tom is an excellent communicator, he was able to adapt his teaching style to suit my needs and made the whole learning experience pleasurable and less stressful. During the whole process, we had an lockdown due to Covid-19 and a freak snowstorm to deal with, all of which Tom handled with great professionalism, providing great communication and flexibility, when needed.” Kitty Butcher from Sleaford
“Thank you Tom, absolutely 1st class service from start to finish. From Kitty’s Mum.” Mother of Kitty Butcher
“Fantastic work Tom. I would be very pleased to endorse any recommendation for the service you have provided and we would certainly utilise your services if the need arises in the future.” Veronica Burnett (Legal Officer) at Harlaxton Engineering Services
Hi! Not sure if you remember me, just wanted to thank you. I passed my test exactly one year ago thanks to your massive help! Passing my test has allowed me to blossom in this last year, and being able to do my dream job as I can travel now. Driving 3 hours each day to and from my work causes me zero anxiety now because of how patient and fantastic you were at teaching me to drive! so thank you 🙂 Chloe Shipley from Long Sutton
I just wanted to say a big thank you for your professionalism, pleasantness and above all patience in teaching Molly to drive, thanks to you she passed first time and is extremely happy to be able to drive and be independent. You have given her the confidence, knowledge and the tools to be a safe motorist in the years to come so I am very grateful. Alison Escott from Eye (mother of Molly)
Hi everyone 😁
If you’re reading this then im guessing you’re in the same position I was a few weeks back. Scouring the internet and making endless amounts of calls in hope of finding an intensive driving course that suits your needs. And like me, you’re probably ready to loose the plot. Infuriated by the lack of flexibility and over inflated prices that most places you’ve found had to offer.
Look no further. Tom is your man. The minute I got in contact with this guy it was like the fog had lifted and I was back on track.
Rather than getting through to a room full of office monkeys that have never given a driving lesson to anyone, whose only job is to read what’s in front of them and sell to you the highest priced course possible. There’s none of that.
You ring Tom, you talk to Tom, Its Tom who will be teaching you. And it’s Tom’s hand you’ll shake when you’ve passed your test.
The service this guy provides is spot on. There’s no altrerior motives or hidden costs. The only thing this guy is bothered about is you, getting you to the standard necessary to pass and getting you through the whole process as quickly and safely as possible. I’ve had many driving instructions over the years and I can safely say that Tom is the best I’ve found. All I have left to say is, If you wanna pass your test, as quickly and easily as possible. CALL BIG TOM. you won’t be sorry.
I hope this review helps you make the right choice. Good luck with your test.
James Baldwin from Peterborough
“Thank you Tom for such a positive experience!”
Why did you choose BIG TOM Driving School? “To be honest, first of all the location, then home pick up with suitable hours, next was the great price and then the reviews online. But that order is my personal preference. An intensive course is definitely intense but overall successfull. Thank you Tom for such a positive experience! And for helping me get to where I wanted within the time frame I had!” Tia Richardson from Holbeach
“…reinforced my understanding…”
I booked a block of lessons with Tom because I needed to pass my driving test on a short timeframe for a new job. To my delight, Tom prepared me excellently for my test and I was able to pass. Tom’s teaching and communication is fab, he was always clear which reinforced my understanding.
“…the videos that you provide are extremely helpful…”
“Just would like to say thanks once again for helping me pass my driving test. I will certainly recommend you to others. The two weeks of lessons I did with you were structured perfectly and managed to get me ready for testing within two weeks. Also the videos that you provide are extremely helpful. I didn’t think I would be able to learn to drive so quick but you proved me wrong.” Ben Parker from Bourne
“…wonderful ability to put you at ease…”
“I did the BIG TOM 2 week intensive course as I was due to start a new job which required a driving licence. I cannot recommend Tom highly enough, he has a wonderful ability to put you at ease and he really let me take control of my own learning.
He focussed on making sure I was a confident, competent driver and not just focusing on scraping a pass.
The 2nd week was all about confidence and refinement of my skills & his honesty really helped in making sure I was more than prepared for test day.
Fantastic course, top guy, couldn’t recommend any higher.
David’’ David de Benedictus from Sleaford
“I was able to retain what I had learned easier”
“I have enjoyed my intensive driving course, got to cover all aspects of driving within the week. I found that by doing an intensive driving course I was able to retain what I had learned easier than if I had done say a 2 hour driving lesson. I would recommend an intensive course to anybody. Same amount of hours over a shorter space of time which in my opinion is better than spread out over what can sometimes end up as months!! BIG TOM driving course has shown me that you can do it in a week if you want, it’s great, as is Tom’s attitude to his learners. I felt very comfortable throughout. Tom is nice and patient. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Tom!” Sarah Shepherd from Pointon
“An absolute pleasure to learn with…”
Passed my driving test first time today after my intense course with Tom! An absolute pleasure to learn with and made every day one to look forward to! Would definitely recommend as Tom’s experience is shown in his teaching. Jake Murphy from Spalding
“…encouraging students to maintain autonomy over their learning…”
“After an enjoyable and positive driving experience this week, I am happy to recommend Big Tom Driving School to anyone looking to have lessons. Tom has a natural ability to offer multiple strategies for learning to drive whilst also encouraging students to maintain autonomy over their learning. His calm and friendly personality also put me at ease immediately; leaving me free to learn the skills required. I never felt pressured or silly following mistakes I made, which was a refreshing change to instructors that I have worked with previously. Thank you so much Tom” Ria Steventon from Peterborough
“Supportive and open teaching style…”
“Before starting my 5 day intensive driving course with BIG TOM, I’d previously already had MANY hours of driving experience under my belt and had already gone and failed 6 TESTS. I would say that my confidence in myself and ability to actually drive was shot. I was really nervous about the whole thing, from meeting Tom and actually getting back on the road, as I’d not driven for around 8 months after failing the 6th test.
Within half an hour of meeting BIG TOM, I felt really at ease and comfortable with him. Midway through the week, I was still having doubts after doing a mock test with Tom, which was truly awful. BIG TOM didn’t let me give up on myself and we had many pep talks which then gave me the confidence to keep going. By the end of the 5 day course, I’d finally PASSED MY TEST! Honestly, without BIG TOM’s supportive and open teaching style I don’t think I would ever have passed my test. Even when you make mistakes, BIG TOM remains very calm, cool and collected, which made the experience very comfortable for me as a pupil.
I can’t thank BIG TOM enough and for someone like me, who has unpleasant experiences with driving/Instructors over the years, I couldn’t recommend BIG TOM enough!!” Abbie Scott-Brown from Ruskington
“Always on time with good humour…”
“I am so happy to have chosen Big Tom driving school. Tom was an amazing instructor! Always on-time with good humour and helped me improve massively in a short space of time. He had lots of hints and tips, which made life easier for me. I definitely would recommend Him to anyone” Ramona Malkinska from St Neots
“…I was beyond satisfied with the course….”
“On day one of the course I barely knew the difference between the brake and the accelerator. I was a very anxious driver having had a prior traumatic experience, but Tom was conscious of this and was always calm and collected. He knew when to let me build my confidence and when to push me, and by day 5 of the course I felt as though I had really learned a lot and felt much more at ease behind the wheel. There was no pressure for me to pass a test on day 5, and Tom provides an action plan including bolt on lessons and test bookings for his customers that need some extra time.
Overall I was beyond satisfied with the course and would recommend it to anyone.” Rose Hanmer from Grantham
“The updates given from booking to completion were excellent”
“All credit to you Big Tom, very impressed with the communication in all aspects of the course, with my son (Shane)
The updates given from booking to completion were excellent.
Passing his test with the confidence and backing given through the course by you his tutor meant he passed with no error, according to the test examiner a rare happening.
I would fully recommend the Big Tom Driving School to anyone…My daughter is a year away from 17 and I will definitely be booking her course with Big Tom.” Ian Marsden (Father of pupil) from Fleet
“…recommend highly for any level of driver…”
“During my week with Tom not only have I learnt about driving, I have grown in confidence and thought about things I have never considered previously. I look forward to continuing my learning journey with Tom. I would recommend highly for any level of driver whether it’s a complete beginner or experienced”. Abby Ward from Bourne
“Tom did his utmost to accommodate me at short notice”
“I just want to take the opportunity to thank Tom for the fantastic driving course he provided for me which resulted in passing my test first time.
Having a very limited window of opportunity due to work, I called as a long shot on the Friday afternoon to start the course the following week. Tom did his utmost to accommodate me at short notice and devised a plan that fit entirely to my requirements with flexibility and an appreciation of the time constraints I was under.
As an instructor Tom was both patient and encouraging, striking a fine balance between identifying faults and praising strengths. He created an engaging, student-led learning environment in which I felt comfortable talking about any problems openly and guided the direction of the sessions to best address my needs. The lessons were conducted with professionalism but Tom’s cheerful character also helped to take the pressure out of what could have been a stressful experience.
I would highly recommend Tom as a driving instructor” Sam Ford – Lincoln
“He makes you feel comfortable from start to finish”
“Big Tom’s course is fantastic. He makes you feel comfortable from start to finish, brilliant experience would highly recommend ! Anthony Coe from Grantham
Our daughter has been learning to drive with her father, during covid, when no professional instructors were able to. Her test is coming up, we felt she would benefit from some instruction from a driving school, and after messaging quite a few, with no response at all, Big Toms driving school replied straight away, very willing to try and help, and at short notice too. Our daughter had a 2 hour lesson, which was of great benefit to her, the instructor couldn’t be more helpful and honest with things she needed to look out for and do. It has given her the confidence she was lacking, to take her test. I would recommend Big Toms driving school to anyone looking for driving lessons, very helpful, very friendly and he put himself out to help our daughter. Lynda Hubbard
“Amazing experience!”
“After experiencing pay as you go driving lessons didn’t suit my way of learning, my parents signed me up for a 20 hour intense driving course with Tom and my confidence has improved immensely with his help! His patience and positivity enabled me to pass first time and I can’t thank him enough for everything he’s done for me! I would definitely recommend this course for anyone, whether that be learning to drive for the first time or practicing techniques you’ve already learnt. Amazing experience!” Emily Ashcroft from Cranwell
“…increasing my knowledge and awareness towards driving safely…”
“I took the intensive driving course with Tom Ingram and found him to be very approachable and informative. I found the course very beneficial and enjoyable at the same time, not only enabling me to pass my test first time but also increasing my knowledge and awareness towards driving safely. I would highly recommend BIG TOM to anyone learning to drive” Sam Jones from Sawtry
“Top Bloke”
“Really great experience. Throwing myself at the deep end with Tom’s help was really beneficial. Top bloke” Alex Blades from Langtoft
“More useful than 1 hour lessons”
In my opinion more useful than 1 hour lessons. Improved my perception of driving each day. A great structure – returning to things that need practise every day as well as starting new things. Confidence is easily improved over the week due to how long you drive for each day. All aspects of driving test are met in these 5 days” Ben Robinson from Bourne
“I have gone from never even sitting in a drivers seat to driving all over Peterborough”
“I started the week very nervous as I had put off driving for many years, but after only a few days I started to overcome the doubts I had about driving. I am now feeling a lot more confident and really want to push on and get on the road thanks to the BIG TOM intensive driving course. The course covered all the topics of driving and I have gone from never even sitting in a drivers seat to driving all over Peterborough. All my questions were answered fully with lots of information and feedback which has greatly helped me. I really enjoyed starting to learn to drive in a relaxed, friendly and safe environment” Matthew Pepperell from Peterborough
“…stays calm even when mistakes are made…”
“The material sent beforehand was really helpful as it allowed me to remind myself of the basics before actually getting in the car itself. The videos were especially helpful, as it introduced some new things. The course itself was really well set up, and my driving has come along so far in just five afternoons. Tom is really helpful in explaining everything, and stays calm even when mistakes are made”. Max Robertson from Barrowby
“Brilliant for practising all aspects of driving”
“Brilliant for practising all aspects of driving in the safest way, as well as gaining and maintaining confidence” Kyle Starbuck from Billingborough
“Feel like I am now confident and safe to drive on the road”
“I found the 5 day intense course very! helpful. Each day we worked on things I found challenging and they improved very fast…. The pick up and drop off service was better than I ever hoped even when I changed it last minute where I was supposed to be collected from. Big Toms driving school is definitely getting recommended. He always had such positive things to say with the feedback. I feel like I am now confident and safe to drive on the road. As well for even showing me the car parts to help me through life!” Jessica Buckley from Sawtry
“…the videos are very helpful…”
“Using Big Tom has been a very good experience for me. It’s very handy that he can pick you up from your home address and also the videos are very helpful, they get you ready for your driving” Olivia Ronson from Surfleet
“The weekend pick up was very helpful”
“I was very pleased with the service I received. Tom was very helpful and supportive. The weekend pick up was very helpful and considerate. Overall I would recommend big tom to friends and anyone else that wants an intensive driving course” Alexander Pinchin from Boston
“Would 100% recommend Big Tom”
“Really enjoyable and relaxed environment. Was worried before I started that 4 hours would drag, but I have really enjoyed the course. I feel my driving has really improved and my confidence has as well as a result of this. Would 100% recommend Big Tom” Mark Craig from Sleaford
“Great feedback and communication”
“My experience with Big Tom was brilliant. He is very calm and caters to the way you learn best, for me that was practicing over and over again until I got it right. Great feedback and communication from him to get you passing your test and driving confidently on your own. Would recommend.” Georgia Brooke from Morton
“I’ve learnt so much this week”
Very enjoyable week with Tom, after a rubbish instructor many years ago that put me off driving. Tom has made my nerves calm. He is very easy going and easy to talk to. If I was nervous on going to do something he would explain it calmly and easy for me to understand. He never got cross/annoyed. If on turning in the road or reverse parking I messed up, he was calm and said, let’s just try again. I’ve learnt so much this week and even did the big roundabouts on Friday that I was so worried to do near the start of the week. I would highly recommend Big Tom driving school to anyone I know wanting to learn to drive” Leah Bryant from Whittlesey
“I felt very comfortable in my experience”
“Learning to drive with Tom helped me so much with my confidence. After not driving for a year and having a couple of instructors before him I felt very comfortable in my experience. I passed on my 2nd time and would highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for a friendly instructor who can give them the confidence they need on the road.” Zoe Briggs from Peterborough
“…from the first 5 minutes I was put at ease by Tom…”
I was a bit hesitant going into the intensive course, 4 hours of driving for 5 days straight seemed like a big ask. But from the first 5 minutes I was put at ease by Tom. My second attempt at my driving test (first with a different driving school), using the intensive course as a refresher and what a great decision it was. Nothing was a problem for Tom or Tara and everything was made as stressless as possible. I would recommend to first time drivers and those looking to re-take their driving test. Professional, considerate, thorough.” Ryan Sismey from Spalding
“I have been with previous driving instructors before Tom and I can say they were not as helpful and friendly as him”
“I would like to say a big thank you to Big Tom driving school after helping me pass my driving test first time in Boston. If any one is looking for a driving instructor, Tom is a top bloke he is very calming.
I can promise you if he can help you he will.I was really stressed about the whole driving experience to start with but Tom was a big help.He also has a YouTube channel with many videos which i know i would watch the night before a lesson. or evan if i wasn’t sure on something there will allways be a future reference so yet again he goes above and beyond to help.I have been with previous driving instructors before Tom and i can say they were not as helpful and friendly as him.
The test went nice a smooth in my opinion the manoeuvre i did on the test was pulling up on the right hand side of the road doing a straight reverse back two car length and then moving off again.A couple of times he would ask you to pull up on the left at a safe place he asked me just before a junction that was on the right so i made sure to clear it before pulling over.
Think it helped the fact that that you know have 20 mins of following a satnav. it did for me at least it kind of break’s the silence so you are not just listing to one man/ women for the whole test. I think it helped the fact the examiner was a friendly bloke witch does help.
I would higly recommend big tom driving school to all and hope everyone has good luck with all future endevors.” Adam Favell from Holbeach
“Tom really adapated the learning techniques to me as an individual”
“My experience of learning to drive was very positive thanks to my ‘Five Day Intensive Driving Course’ with Big Tom. I began feeling very nervous as I hadn’t enjoyed previous lessons and will eventually be driving with my young baby on board; I was helped to feel calm and relaxed from the outset with a pre-course call with Tom to discuss my reservations and needs. Tom really adapted the learning techniques to me as an individual, ensuring I was learning at my own pace and the content really started to ‘sink in’. I started out with very little confidence, but thanks to Tom and his calming influence this was overcome quickly.
Tom has lots of informative videos online which help with tackling more difficult techniques and situations. I’m looking forward to my follow-on training with Big Tom and so far my experience has been fantastic and I would recommend anyone looking to start driving to give Tom a call!” Debbie Kelly from Thurlby
“I could feel myself progressing as the days went on…”
Helpful driving instructor, very informative five day course from beginning to end. I could feel myself progressing as the days went on and as I was told about different ways of learning and developing new skills which is very good for confidence while driving especially as a learner” Billy Brooks from Castle Bytham
“..at no time did I feel under any pressure or stress”
“After a few set backs with the weather I could not and will not fault the teaching at all. The week was structured perfectly to my learning style. Extremely friendly and patient and really made the week up to my test comfortable and at no time did I feel under any pressure or stress” Harry Adams from Bourne
“…explaining things in depth when I’ve needed it….”
“Thanks tom had a wonderful week working with you, thank you for being very patient with me and explaining things in depth when I’ve needed it. Also a great big thanks to being flexible with times and just generally putting up with me I now feel I am able to drive but not test ready just yet but hoping to work with you again in a couple of weeks to get me to that standard thanks once again” Deanne Bramwell from Boston
“Tom was able to highlight personal strengths and weaknesses and plan a course of action”
“The response time from application to course was really quick. The course hammered out key skills in a paced manner. Tom was able to highlight personal strengths and weaknesses and plan a course of action. I would highly recommend this course” Luke Donley from Rippingale
“My experience was enjoyable”
“Tom was very friendly and helpful. I was nervous to start the course and it was my first time being in a driver seat. Tom was calm and patient, so when making mistakes I wasn’t put off. Tom was very thorough with helping me learn in my particular preferred way. Good with examples of how to understand the way you learn to develop. My experience was enjoyable.” Nicole McLaughlin from Bourne
“It was extremely informative”
“My overall impression of the 5 day course was it was very helpful and I found it was extremely informative all the way through the course. I would highly recommend it to others” Rhys Wakelin from Helpringham
“I highly highly recommend to everyone that wants to learn to drive”
“Absolutely fantastic driving school, I booked the 5 day intensive course on which I gained alot of experience and knowledge on how to drive. Took my test today first attempt and passed with only 2 minors and this proves how brilliantly effective Bigtom’s driving school is. Thank-you to Tom and Tara who helped me to pass my test quickly. I highly highly recommend to everyone that wants to learn to drive. Thanks once again” Darrell Constantine from Sleaford
“…boosted my confidence massively!!”
“I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with Big Tom. His patience was amazing and he boosted my confidence massively!! I learnt so much in such a short space of time and am very happy with the progress I made so a big thankyou to Big Tom” Paris Padley from Kirton, Boston.
“Tara made the test booking process seamless”
“What can I say? Tom is a Legend! He helped a nervous driver gain confidence in a supportive atmosphere. I had very little driving experience, and in just 20 hours he had me test ready and I passed FIRST time!! If you are looking for a patient, knowledgeable instructor Big Tom is your man!
On a side note (but equally important) Tara made the test booking process seamless and kept me updated every step of the way. I was very impressed with the text message the night before my test wishing me luck! It was a nice touch and shows how much Tara, Tom and the rest of the Big Tom team really care about their students.
I will be recommending Big Tom Driving School at every opportunity.” Jason Dean from Peterbororough

“…a very helpful and enjoyable experience.”
“The locations have been good for progression. There was good caution over which places to go to at the skill level. Good feedback and level of involvement in driving which promotes individual thought. Very handy techniques for parking. All in all, a very helpful and enjoyable experience”. Tom Farmer from Little Bytham
“Tom gave me some brilliant resources to look at”
“This was a great way to learn how to drive. Tom gave me some brilliant resources to look at prior to my 5 day intensive course. Before starting my lessons, I had no driving experience in a car and by the end of the week, i passed my test first time. He was patient, friendly, helpful and very encouraging. He gave me all the advise and confidence I needed. I highly recommend BIG TOM intensive driving course to anyone whose looking to pass their test.” Sam Smith from Sleaford
“Adapted to my needs and listened to me”
“BIG TOM was the only driving school in the area to provide an intensive course. I had a brilliant instructor, he adapted to my needs and listened to me when I had concerns. I couldn’t thank him enough for how quickly he helped me learn to drive and how nice and considerate he was to me throughout my experience.” James Youds from Haconby
“If you want to learn quickly this course is really useful”
“If you want to learn quickly this course is really useful. I learnt so much from being a beginner driver to driving round Peterborough in the rush hour. Theory resources online are really good and the videos, especially for watching prior to the course to make yourself more comfortable when meeting Tom for the first time. Tara is super helpful and accommodating.” Anna Forbes-Rogers from Bourne
“I think the greatest thing I gained was confidence….”
“I decided on doing this intensive course because of the expiration date of my theory. I had previously learnt to drive before but had never taken the test, therefore I had a time limit. I booked this course for mid-June and my theory was to expire this upcoming August. This was course was very beneficial for me because I got to learn so many skills in such a short span of time. This course made me realise how much I had forgot after not driving for about 2 years. Even though it gets a bit tiring driving constantly for 4 hrs, 5 days straight, the time goes by relatively quickly. This course also provided resources to help us along, personally I found the videos on youtube the most useful. I think the greatest thing I gained was confidence, because driving had never been something I liked, and I usually found it stressful and scary, but by driving in different situations it gives you more experience and confidence” Stephanie Kwok from Bourne
“I enjoyed his teaching style”
“I had a great week with Tom, very professional and polite. I enjoyed his teaching style, calm and patient which suited my learning style. Overall I feel I’m a much better driver than when I started. Big thumbs up! 10 out of 10” Dalton Marsh from Bourne
“Chris showed me excellent tips which I would not have know myself”
“I am pleased that I passed my driving test with the help of my driving instructor today. He showed me excellent tips which I would not have known myself and these, along with his good manner and patience, helped me immensely. If I have friends who wish to take lessons I will tell them of your driving school and once again many thanks for all.” Shaun Dowdeswell from Spalding
“The most confident I’ve felt behind the wheel and the most I’ve enjoyed it”
“I chose BIG TOM because I had tried “normal” lessons but the breaks in between hadn’t suited my learning style. The main advantages of BIG TOM for me was the intensity of the course and the ‘pick up/drop back’ service offered. This is the most most confident I’ve felt behind the wheel and the most I’ve enjoyed it”. Lizzy Lunn from Bourne
“I would definitely recommend BIG TOM Driving School and wish I’d gone with Tom in the first place”
“I started driving with Tom after failed a test with another instructor. He build my confidence by giving me clear instruction on how to improve my driving. He used different techniques to show what to do. I found the mock tests we did really helpful and showed me exactly what the examiner would be looking for. Driving every day with Tom gave me much more experience than having a lesson weekly. Tom made everything easy by booking my initial test and then finding me a cancelation because he thought I was ready to take my test earlier. On day 5 I took my test and passed with no driver errors. I would definitely recommend Big Tom Driving School and wish I’d gone with Tom in the first place.” Oliver Stephenson from Carlby

“I not only passed my test but feel able to drive in any situation”
“I found the BIG TOM 5 day intensive course a huge help very flexible and happy to fit in and around a hectic work schedule, unlike most driving instructors who aren’t as willing to accommodate.The week itself was really insightful and allowed me to build my confidence, ability and knowledge to the point where by I not only passed my test but feel able to drive in any situation. I would happily recommend BIG TOM to absolutely everyone, massive thanks it was great.” Nick Dobie from Oakham
“We would definitely recommend your driving course to anyone”
“We were very impressed with how completely at ease he felt with you which I am sure contributed to being able to learn so quickly and we would definitely recommend your driving course to anyone.” Alison Bishell from Bourne regarding her son Patrick
“Tom was never late to a lesson, never on his phone during a lesson”
“Highly recommending Tom and big Tom Driving School and here’s why…. I was NEVER going to be a driver.. NEVER NEVER! Then I found Tom , the only instructor who’s managed to calm me down enough to get out of 2nd gear. I have severe anxiety and also a condition which affects my memory , Tom would teach me things and I would forget but he didn’t ever get stressed with me or even raise his voice … not once! He stayed calm and patient and yesterday I passed my driving test! Tom was never late to a lesson, never on his phone during a lesson. So many other instructors are late, rude and impatient. If you want a driving teacher who takes his job seriously and does everything he can to make you feel ok, then Tom is your guy :)” Rhiannon Kirby from Grantham
“I never thought that I would ever be able to learn so much in only 5 days”
“I would highly recommend Big Tom driving school to anyone. Tom Ingram is very knowledgeable, confident and patient driving instructor with excellent communication skills. I have done 5 day (20hrs) intensive driving course. I never thought that I would ever be able to learn so much in only 5 days! Thank you,Tom.” Viktorija Jezova
“Best money I have spent”
“After trying different instructors for a few years I found Tom through my Grandad, with very few lessons I passed first time! Best money I have spent :)” Louise Burrows from Peterborough
“…it was a great week!”
“I really enjoyed the 5 day course with Big Tom. I found it very useful and found that over the 5 days I became more confident and I wasn’t as intimidated by other drivers as I had been at the start of the course. We also worked on what to do at roundabouts which was extremely beneficial as they were something I had struggled with before but now can do them confidently. I would definitely recommend, it was a great week!” Lily Storer from Morton
“I loved the way the intensive course was layed out…”
Thank you so much for your help! I really enjoyed my intensive course and am so so happy to have passed first time! You were very calm and reassuring whenever I was unsure of something and allowing me to choose where we went each day was very beneficial to me! This has made me a more confident driver as I am confident in driving in different places! I loved the way the intensive course was layed out and how it was 4 hours driving each day as this meant I was able to stay confident in all areas rather than the usual “pay as you go” lessons where I feel I would have forgot things from the previous week! Chloe Shipley from Long Sutton
“…a very enjoyable experience…”
“I had a very enjoyable experience with BIG TOM Driving School, I learned many skills needed and gained confidence to implement these all together in my driving.” Sam Saddington from Peterborough
“Would recommend!”
“This was my second time on the BIG TOM intensive course and it was just as enjoyable. He catered to my needs and prepared me for my driving test. I felt that there were going to be no surprises on the driving test because of how prepared I was. Would recommend!” Mark Craig from Sleaford
“You were always so calm even when I made mistakes”
Thanks for all your help and instruction on teaching me to drive (and pass my test first time). A few points about my time learning with you:
I found you very easy to communicate with, both in the car during lessons and on the phone (text). You put me at ease on the very first lesson with you and you were always so calm even when I made mistakes. It was nice that you were always early so my lessons always started on time.
You were also very good at explaining things in the simplest of ways and not over complicating things. I also thought it was fantastic that nearing my test date we took my lessons in my own car after we’d decided to use my car for my test. This was so useful as I wasn’t swapping from one car to another and I’m sure this played a big part on my test.
I really want to thank you again for getting me to such a high standard which will hopefully stay with me for life and I’m sure this is why I passed with only one minor (stupid one).” Liam Watkinson from Stamford
“He doesn’t pressurise you when you make mistakes”
” I found learning with Tom to be very effective. He doesn’t pressurise you when you make mistakes and makes it a cool calm driving experience. I had very little driving experience when I started, and passed my test within 9 days, and I put that down to the way I was taught. Very effective and efficient service – much appreciated. Will definitely recommend to anybody. Bargain price too!” Andy Graham from Peterborough
“He will make sure you pass your test with a high standard”
“What a driving instructor Tom is! A great driving instructor. Having come from a full bike licence and wanting to be on four wheels I chose tom and was never disappointed with him at all. He is really friendly and gives great advice and will put you at ease and also make sure you will pass your test with a high standard. I really cannot recommend him enough. I passed first time only one minor. Job well done. Thank you Tom” Gordon Annis from Bourne
“Pushes you to improve”
“Very much enjoyed the sessions. Allowed you to go at your own pace but at the same time pushes you to improve. Lots of reflection during lesson at points that go wrong or things that went well” Emily Helliwell from Thurlby
“…encourages you to be independent with your driving…”
“I have truly enjoyed my five day intensive course with Big Tom. From no driving experience on day 1 and by day 5 feeling comfortable driving in major roads, I made great progress during my week with Big Tom. Tom, is a great driving instructor, he was very friendly, supportive but also encourages you to be independent with your driving. I have learnt so much within this week and I really have enjoyed my 5 day week with Big Tom driving course.” Kiera Wilde from Bourne
“It made it so much easier and more enjoyable learning”
“I really enjoyed the whole experience, it made it so much easier and more enjoyable learning from some1 who is calm in every situation but also pushes you to keep going which helped me pick up driving very quickly considering I had never driven before my 1st lesson and would like to thank tom for his help” Jake Overland from Bourne
“I enjoyed it and also I passed both tests first time”
“I thought the resources provided to help me (driving videos, online theory practice) were very useful. I think Big Tom is a very good driving school because I enjoyed it and also I passed both parts of my tests first time, which shows that Big Tom does make you a good driver in a short period of time.” William Platt from Peterborough
“Tom didn’t just teach me to pass my test, he taught me how to drive”
“Big Tom delivered exactly what was promised on the website which is to learn by driving. I had no previous driving experience at all. In the space of 7 days I went from being a beginner with limited confidence in my ability to drive, to being ready and confident to drive on my own after I passed. Tom didn’t just teach me to pass my test, he taught me how to drive. ”Ben Rossi from Grantham
“…work out what’s best for you…”
Tom has been very patient and understanding all the way through teaching me to drive. Everything has been clearly explained and Tom would talk through different ways of doing things so you can work out what’s best for you. Any questions or queries would be answered. I wouldn’t of passed first time without Big Toms driving schools support Danielle Bannister
“Learned so much….and was really enjoyable”
“Would definitely recommend this course to others learning to drive! Learned so much on the course and was really enjoyable”. Patrick Bishell from Bourne
“I would definitely recommend you to anyone…..”
“Thanks ever so much for all your help in preparing Liam for life behind the wheel. You’ve done a brilliant job with him and I’m very comfortable being chauffeured about by Liam. I would definitely recommend you to anyone wanting their son or daughter to be taught to a very high standard by a very professional and likeable person” Mark Watkinson (Father of pupil)
Message to Tara (BIG TOM Admin)
“Thank you for all your help and support throughout my daughters whole driving experience with BIGTOM, she has enjoyed learning to drive and your quick responses have been appreciated.” Angela Buckley (Mother of pupil)
“I found the two week course really helpful”
“I found the two week course really helpful- Tom was very kind and patient at teaching me which made me feel relaxed while driving because I am a new driver so was very nervous. I learnt some really helpful tips which will aid me in my future driving experiences. The flexibility to focus on what the student feels important to their progress once the basics have been learnt is great, I would come into each session with a rough idea in my head about what I wanted to focus on due to previous weaknesses highlighted in other sessions. You are encouraged to go forward for your test at the end of the course as soon as you feel comfortable but more sessions are available if you would like them which is brilliant if you are having last minute nerves before the test and want to refresh on certain aspects of the course.” Emma Shrapel from Morton
“He has great patience, pleasant attitude and listens to what you have to say”
“Passed first time with Tom’s help and guidance. He has great patience, pleasant attitude and listens to what you have to say. Gives clear precise advice and allows you time to get to know the car and feel your way around the controls. I would recommend Tom to teach my friends to drive.” Andrew McKinnon-Paton from Peterborough
“…little delay in re-taking and passing my test…”
“My experience with big tom was great, Tom has a positive teaching style and a great personality so he makes you comfortable and relaxed. I failed my first test and rebooked through big tom for asap and had little delay in re-taking and passing my test. I would highly recommend big tom as his teaching methods are outstanding and second to none making for a great learning and driving experience.” Ryan Tatlow from Deeping
“He did not just prepare me for the test, but driving in real life”
“I’d like to thank Tom for helping me to pass my driving test first time, he did not just prepare me for the test but driving in real life, with real life situations. Tom is a very calm person and was able to help me stay calm, when I didn’t do things correctly. He never got frustrated with me and kept a calm manner. He is very professional and polite, we were able to have general conversations and have a laugh when learning how to drive. I thoroughly recommend Tom and his teaching style. Thank you Tom” Summer Sleight from Bourne
“…pleasant experience…”
Had a pleasant experience, passed on my first try. Arthur Mendez
“He also has an excellent sense of humour and is open to the learner’s suggestions”
“As a 63 year old who had never had a driving lesson I feel very lucky that I found Tom Ingram through the Directory. He is very patient and has a clear sense of how progress is made; he also has the ability to communicate that sense. He also has an excellent sense of humour and is open to the learner’s suggestions. All of which means that the lessons are enjoyable even for someone who still finds driving often intimidating” John Lancaster from Peterborough
“Makes you feel at ease”
“Learnt so much in one week, great guy and he makes you feel at ease, would definitely recommend him to other learners” Becka Skellet from Grantham
“Tom is an excellent instructor who gives clear instructions”
“I am very pleased with my 5 day intensive driving course. I went from knowing hardly anything about driving to being able to drive. Yes there’s more to learn and get used to but that is because it’s all new. Tom is an excellent instructor who gives clear instructions and is honest with all of my abilities in the car. I know more now and will continue with the knowledge that with each lesson I am closer to gaining my driving licence” Elliot Flynn from Ruskington
“As the intensive driving course went on, my confidence grew….”
“If you are looking for a driving instructor.. look no further!!! Tom is the best there is 🙂
I did the intensive driving course with Tom. Tom is a great driving instructor. He is patient, supportive and explains things really well. As the driving course went on, my confidence grew and passing my driving test was a huge boost. Just want to say a huge thanks to Tom who encouraged me to persevere with my driving and it certainly paid off. I would highly recommend booking with him” Haleema from Peterborough
“You were a calm instructor, easy to talk to and always made me feel comfortable”
“The only feedback I can really give is a positive one. You were really helpful and a calm Instructor, easy to talk to and always made me feel comfortable. You were a very understanding Instructor and were there to help every step of the way. Thank you.” Darran Carroll from Peterborough
“Tom made the whole experience enjoyable”
“I felt he was a good teacher, he explained things clearly, I fully understood him, and felt supported. Tom made the whole experience enjoyable, and I would recommend him to my deaf friends.” Gem Dixon from Peterborough (profoundly deaf)
“…no awkwardness when in the car…”
Tom is an amazing instructor and would highly recommend. He is very calm, will point out right away is there are any errors and how those can be corrected. There is no awkwardness when in the car, always have a good chat. Really friendly. At the start he asked about experience driving previously and from there recommended how many hours was needed and from there passed my test first time.
“…tailors the lessons to exactly what you need…”
“I really liked the way big tom teaches, he tailors the lessons to exactly what you need. I have 4 x 5 hour lessons at weekends and they were incredibly helpful. Everything was explained well and I was given specific advice for each topic we covered.” James Smart from Boston
“He adapts the learning techniques to you as an individual”
“My experience of learning to drive was very positive thanks to my lessons with Tom. I started out with very little time behind the wheel but was helped to feel very calm and relaxed. He adapts the learning techniques to you as an individual, ensuring you learn at your own pace. I started out with very little confidence, but thanks to Tom and his calming influence this was overcome quite quickly. Mock tests helped me prepare for the real practical test and assisted in reducing my nerves for test day. I knew what to expect so there were never any surprises. Tom also has lots of useful videos online which help with tackling more difficult techniques or situations. Overall my experience was fantastic and I would recommend anyone looking to start driving to give Tom a call!” Georgia Galloway from Bourne
“…built my confidence up…”
I did a 2week course with tom and found him very easy to get along with.and has a calming nature. He explained every detail of my driving as we went along. He built my confidence up.and at the end of the course felt I was ready for my test which was 5 days later and am pleased to say I passed. I cant thank him enough for all he taught me and would highly reccomend him to anyone. Thankyou tom. Michael .
“Tom also allowed me to take control of what we covered each lesson, so I could practice what I thought I wasn’t good at”
“I passed my test first time in March 2011, and it wasn’t until I had been driving on my own for a few months that I really fully appreciated the extent to which learning with Tom prepared me for real life driving, for me it was the little extra things, like anticipating attitudes of drivers that I feel added the extra safety aspect to my driving. I know from friends experiences that alot of driving schools just drive the “test routes” (the common routes taken by the examiners) but this really doesn’t prepare you for driving new roads on your own – one particular highlight of my lessons was the rural drives around areas new to me as they opened my eyes to the many unexpected hazards that are on the roads! Tom also allowed me to take control of what we covered each lesson, so I could practice what I thought I wasn’t good at – he also took me to park in Queensgate, which let\’s face it is a lifelong skill for living in Peterborough! Toms lessons have a relaxed approach, and I would thoroughly recommend learning with him. Lisa Reid from Peterborough
“Tom gave her confidence and was very patient”
“I would highly recommend anyone to take lessons with Tom, whether you have never driven or have experience.
Our daughter Shannon had never stepped foot behind a driving wheel, and was very nervous, that was March and by August she was test ready, Tom gave her confidence and was very patient. He is also very happy to speak to parents too as many of us have been passed a while so taking Shannon out in her own vehicle I felt confident to sit beside her. Tom also encourages students to use their own car, in fact Shannon felt that confident she took her test in her own car and passed first time.” Mel Ronan from Bourne (Mother of pupil)
“Made learning to drive fun”
“Unlike any other instructor, highly recommend, made learning to drive fun, wouldn’t learn with anyone else!” Helen Gilberto from Peterborough
“…put me at ease…”
I came to Tom very close to my driving test thinking i was going to fail and he truly improved my confidence and put me at ease!! Just a months worth of lessons and I definitely believe without them with Tom i wouldnt have passed, I highly highly recommend! Caitlin Dawney
“Made me feel at ease with something I wasn’t comfortable with to start with”
“I would like to thank Tom for taking the time to teach me to drive last week on a 30 hour intensive course.

Thanks Tom” Graeme Miles from Peterborough
“Helped me to pass first time with only 1 minor”

“His friendly manner made me very relaxed and at ease”
“Big Tom is a great driving instructor; his friendly manner made me very relaxed and at ease during my lessons.

I would thoroughly recommend learning with Big Tom Driving School!” Georgina Ivens from Peterborough
“BIGTOM provides constant feedback and further resources”
“The 5 day intense driving course is a great way to learn how to drive. It is extremely helpful; as I was able to be picked up at a location of my choice and dropped off as well.

“Tom is everything you want in a driving instructor: calm, clear, supportive, knowledgeable and funny. He is very patient and punctual, taking a pride in his car so it’s clean. He varies the routes, so you learn about different situations and his use of anecdotes is entertaining. Thanks Big Tom – it’s great to have passed but I miss having you as my driving instructor” Katie Ankin from Peterborough

“You can go many places”
“Learnt a lot in only 5 days from nothing to be able to drive on dual carriageways etc. Accelerated my learning. You can go many places – you are not restricted to where you can go as you are not limited to a short time. Would have been more successful for someone with experience. Quick pace so not useful for those who aren’t confident” Charlotte Ward from Thurlby
