Phoebe, Tom's student said: "Tom’s helped me with more than just being a confident and capable driver. He’s been a person in my life where I can go to for advice.... He is even my adopted granddad for my little girl. He’s always there for me and gives great tips to help me out with my daughter." A huge shoutout to Tom for being so inclusive and helpful to all
