I am a qualified Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) driving instructor. Friendly and approachable, understanding and patient, I will provide you with the knowledge and skills to learn and develop until you feel that you are ready for your test.

As a qualified coach and leadership mentor, I have many years experience of working with pupils with a variety of different learning needs. I am able to customise lessons to suit individual pupils, explaining everything in a way that can be clearly understood and always providing feedback in a practical but considerate manner.
