Learning to drive should be fun!

Although learning can be quite involved, I do my best to encourage a friendly, fun learning environment, as I firmly believe if you enjoy your training you will improve much quicker. You don’t have to laugh at my jokes, but at least it keeps me happy!

The learning curve

Lessons may be taken according to Pupils requirements, from an hour per week to an intensive course. I would generally recommend a two hours driving lesson once a week as the best way to make good progress. I offer discounts on blocks of driving lessons paid for in advance.

I will design a course of practical training to match your specific needs from your first lesson through to your Practical Test, moving on to motorway training, Pass Plus and advanced courses if required. I will also recommend the very latest training methods and aids to help you study for your Theory and Hazard Perception Test.

After your initial assessment lesson, you will be provided with a bespoke ‘driver record’, which will guide you through the learning process, helping you to understand exactly how you are progressing and identify when you have acquired the skills you need to take and pass your driving test.

The most important part of your Driver Record is the Instructor Assessment section. There are driving skills you will need to master, each with five assessment levels, and as you progress I will fill in the level reached for each individual skill.

I will provide relevant feedback during your lesson and, at the conclusion of each, record your development in your ‘Driver Record’, so I can monitor your progress, and advise you when you are ready to apply for a driving test taking into account local waiting times.

When we’re both confident that you’ve mastered all of the required skills, I will arrange your Mock Test, followed by your full test.
