Questions.
Everything you need to know before booking your driving lessons. If you can't find the answer you're looking for, just get in touch and I'll be happy to help.
About Lessons
Yes. It's something I specialise in. Many learners come to me after struggling with confidence or having a negative experience with a previous instructor. Every lesson is relaxed, unhurried and tailored to your comfort level so you can build confidence at your own pace.
Standard driving lessons are 2 hours, giving you plenty of time to practise new skills, build confidence and make steady progress. Intensive courses are also available—please get in touch for a personalised quote.
I currently provide manual driving lessons in a modern dual-control Nissan Qashqai. It offers a safe, comfortable environment that's ideal for learners of all experience levels.
Lessons are normally carried out in my fully insured dual-control manual Nissan Qashqai. If you'd like to learn in your own vehicle, get in touch and we'll discuss whether it's suitable.
I'll introduce you to the vehicle, explain the controls and make sure you're comfortable before we start driving. Most learners are driving during their very first lesson.
Booking & Scheduling
I offer lessons seven days a week, typically between 8am and 6pm, subject to availability.
Please give me at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or rearrange a lesson.
New students can usually start within two weeks, although this depends on my current availability.
I can usually pick you up from home, work, college or another agreed location within the areas I cover.
Payments & Pricing
Payment is currently accepted by bank transfer. If you're booking an intensive course or block booking, I'll explain the payment process when you get in touch.
Yes. Payment is required in advance to secure your booking. If you have any questions about payment, just ask and I'll be happy to help.
None. The rate you're quoted is the rate you pay. The only additional cost you'd ever pay is a late cancellation charge if you cancel with less than 48 hours' notice — and that's always communicated clearly upfront.
Areas & Eligibility
I cover much of Leicestershire and surrounding Northamptonshire, including LE15, LE16, LE8, NN14, NN15, NN16, NN17 and NN18. If you're unsure whether I cover your area, just get in touch.
You must be at least 17 and hold a valid provisional licence. There is no upper age limit — I teach learners of all ages.
Please bring your valid provisional driving licence. I'll explain everything before we begin driving, so there's no need to worry if it's your first lesson.
Mock and official driving tests
Absolutely. Whether it's your first test or a retest, I'll tailor lessons around mock driving tests, local test routes and the areas you need to improve so you can approach your test with confidence.
