Do you Teach complete beginners?

Yes, most of my pupils are complete beginners with no experience. I'll take you through the basics of moving off and stopping. Through to Junctions, roundabouts, meeting traffic, dual carriageways and parking. We'll do mock tests to get you a feeling for what the test will be like. All the way up to your practical test.

Do you teach pupils with some experience?

Yes, whether you've moved to this area or you had to take a break from learning. Even if you've passed a long time ago and just want some refresher lessons.

Do i need to pass my theory test before I start driving lessons?

No you don't need to pass your theory test before you start learning. You just need a valid driving licence and be at least 17 years old. You do need to pass your theory test before you can book your practical, though. Only do your theory when you are ready to take it, but you want to start thinking about it when you can.

Can people sit in the back of lessons?

I don't advise it, as pupils are thinking about the person sitting behind rather than their driving. In some cases if a pupil is very nervous i'll let a relative or friend sit in the back. Normally only for 1 or 2 lessons.

I ask pupils to give me at least 24 hours notice. We all get sick now and then or something comes up last minute. However, if it happens to often i will have to charge you for the lesson.
