I aim to make lessons both enjoyable and productive. Lessons are conducted in a calm, friendly manner and I firmly believe in making pupils feel relaxed and at ease during the lessons. Hopefully, by creating the right environment, my passion for coaching pupils to drive will transfer to you, the pupil to be passionate about learning to drive.

I am an independent Driving Instructor who strongly believes in the power of coaching and allowing the pupil to find solutions themselves, and in effect, teach themselves to drive. I am there to keep you safe and guide you along the way. By finding the solutions yourself, you will learn on a much deeper level, retain the information much quicker and, overall become a safer driver.

Having almost 10 years experience as a Driving Instructor, along with my previous jobs, I have developed and adapted my own style which provides calm, patient, adaptable teaching to suit each individual pupil, giving them a tailored learning journey suitable for them.

I have always lived in and around the Bristol area, and previous driving jobs and 10 years experience teaching pupils and sitting in on Driving Tests has given me a vast knowledge of which roads and areas are best to use to help teach my pupils and give them a diverse amount of driving experience on the Bristol roads.

This is not limited to just “Test Routes" but any type of road, route or journey a pupil may take once they have passed their test to boost their confidence once they're driving on their own. This can include city centre driving, country roads, into Bath and Bristol, Multi storey Car parks, longer 2-4 hour routes, Motorways and, rush hour and night time driving.

Ultimately, I am not teaching pupils to “pass their test", I am providing a fully comprehensive driving experience that will allow the pupils to drive safely and confidently post test with the skills and ability to deal with any scenario they could meet on the roads.

As the paying client, it is your lesson so, as long as it is within your scope, you can decide the content of the lesson and how you want to learn it. Lessons are structured to each individual pupil.

All regular pupils will recieve my Terms and Conditions and a link to download the Pupil App which keeps track of their lessons and payments as well as putting them control of lesson planning and reflections of their lessons. The app also includes useful resources which will aid their Learning to Drive Journey.

I no longer offer Driving Courses as standard but can, after an assessment lesson, discuss your level of driving and what is left to learn and refine to become Test ready.

The amount of lessons you require will depend on many factors including how quickly you learn, how many hours of lessons you have each week and, if you have any private practice between lessons.

The more work (Theory and Practical) you put in in-between lessons, the quicker you will progress.

With all lessons, iot is advisable to compliment your lessons with home study and, if possible, other “In Car” training with suitable family or friends in a safe, correctly insured vehicle for a learner to drive in.

In your lesons there will be no car sharing - you get 100% of my time whilst in my car.
