Learner Sessions

As a new driver you may not be aware of all the things you need to know to be able to drive safely on today’s busy and overcrowded roads The DVSA (who set the tests) state that you need a minimum of 44hrs of driving tuition with a professional driving instructor to give you the ability to pass the UK driving test. As this figure is a calculated average based on statistics, every student is different.

I adapt my lesson delivery style and delivery speed to suit the needs of the student.

To support your learning, in car training aids are used together with the latest training techniques and coaching styles allowing you to take control of your own learning rate.

Even if you haven’t started your driving lessons yet, you can speed up the learning process by studying the Highway Code. You will need to pass the Theory Test prior to booking your practical driving test. As an instructor, I will advise you when it is the right time to book your practical test.
