Common Questions Answered for Learner Drivers

Why should you choose me as your driving instructor?

In today's world of driver education, it's possible to learn just enough to pass a test — but still feel unprepared for real driving afterwards. My approach is different. I focus on helping you become a confident, independent driver, not just someone who follows instructions.

Lessons are built around active involvement, not passive learning. You're encouraged to ask questions, reflect on experiences, and take an active role in what we work on and how quickly we progress.

Mistakes aren't something to fear — they're a vital part of learning. We'll use real situations from your lessons to build awareness, decision-making skills, and confidence step by step.

Choosing me means choosing a supportive, coaching-based learning experience that prepares you not just for your driving test, but for safe, confident driving for life.

What is the make and model of your driving school car?

I teach in a Vauxhall Corsa-e, a 5-door automatic electric hatchback. It's smooth, quiet, and easy to drive, making it ideal for learners at all stages — especially beginners and those building confidence.

The car is fitted with dual controls, so I can assist safely whenever needed. It also has front and rear dash cameras for added safety and peace of mind.

Lesson footage can be reviewed together using a secure mobile app, allowing us to reflect on real driving situations, identify areas for improvement, and recognise progress as you develop your skills.

What are your automatic driving lesson prices?

For full details, please visit my Prices page.

I offer clear, transparent pricing for automatic driving lessons, focused on quality, progress, and helping you become a safe, confident driver — not rushed test preparation.

What lesson durations do you offer?

I offer flexible automatic driving lesson durations to suit your learning style and availability.

You can choose from 2-hour, 2.5-hour, or 3-hour lessons, depending on whether you prefer focused sessions or longer drives to cover more ground.

We'll choose what works best for you, helping you build confidence, skill, and consistency behind the wheel.

Will you help me prepare for my theory test?

Yes. As part of your lessons, you'll get full access to Theory Test Pro — an online platform that mirrors the UK driving theory test.

It includes the complete DVSA question bank, hazard perception clips, and structured practice tools to help you prepare properly.

I can also see your progress through online reports, allowing me to support you with any areas that need extra attention and help you feel confident before booking the real test.

You can view the platform here: Theory Test Pro

How many lessons will I need?

The number of lessons you'll need varies from person to person. It depends on factors like your previous experience, how often you can practise between lessons, your confidence levels, and how quickly you feel comfortable behind the wheel.

After your first few lessons, I'll have a clearer picture of your progress and can give you a realistic, personalised estimate. My aim is to help you learn at your own pace and become a safe, confident driver — not just to pass the test, but to be ready for real-world driving.

How will I know when I´m ready to book my driving test?

Understanding when you're ready to take your driving test isn't just about the number of lessons — it's about how independently you can drive.

Use this quick self-check:

How much guidance do you still need from your instructor during lessons?

Score your most recent lesson from 0 to 10:

  • 0 – I was told exactly what to do throughout the lesson.
  • 10 – I drove completely independently, with no help or prompts.

What your score means:

  • 0 to 3 | Guided You're still relying heavily on instruction.
  • 4 to 7 | Prompted You're making progress, with occasional help or reminders.
  • 8 to 10 | Independent You're driving confidently on your own and likely ready for your test.

We'll use this scale regularly in your lessons to track your progress and help decide the right time to book your driving test.
