The advice provided to new drivers from those who have passed their driving test is usually the same: It's important to feel comfortable and relaxed with your driving instructor when you're learning.
I am a registered, Approved Driving Instructor who's been teaching locally for 26 years.
Since qualifying as a driving instructor in 1987 my career has gone from strength to strength. I really enjoy what I do for a living. Anybody who teaches will appreciate the joy you get from seeing your students progress and ultimately passing their driving test.
I teach in a manual gear change Seat Ibiza, it's a lovely car and I'm sure you will enjoy driving it.
I can teach pretty much anybody how to drive a car as long as you listen to me and if you are unsure about anything while you are on your driving lessons, you only have to ask me and I will advise you.
I am patient and easy going and I won't tell you off or shout at you if you make a mistake. I have been teaching people how to drive for over twenty five years and I'm fairly sure that I've seen it all by now....but I just haven't seen you do it yet!
I teach complete novices how to drive, but also if you are part trained and need to take further lessons to reach test standard I can help you by assessing your driving ability and advising you on how many lessons you would need to take to achieve your aim.
If you haven't driven for any length of time I can help you there also as I offer comprehensive refresher courses to enable you to regain your confidence and to become a safe and competent driver.
If you are an International licence holder I can teach you the necessary skills required to pass the UK driving test too.
I live in Teddington and I operate within a five mile radius of the local area. I'm available for lessons from Monday to Friday between 09.30-5.30. I occasionally work on a Saturday morning and sometimes in the evenings but I'm really trying to keep these times to a minimum.
I offer either one hour, an hour and a half or two hour driving lessons, it's up to you really as I'm quite flexible and I can pick you up from home, work, school or college as long as it's in the local area.
I've taught hundreds of people how to drive and I'm pretty sure I can teach you too, so go ahead and either call/text or email me and let me help you to become a competent driver.

Winter conditions tend to be trickier to drive in, but learning with an instructor during this time of the year is probably the best time to learn.
I will work in all but the most severe weather conditions as it's good practice for my students. However if there's an unfavourable weather report and drivers are advised to stay off the roads, that would include us also!
Overall, you'll feel better that you've handled the trickier conditions with my support, preparing you well for next year’s great British washout!
Learning during the Summer is the most popular season to learn, this is driven by the preferential conditions (most of the time...) with longer evenings, better visibility and weather conditions.
Everybody loves going for a drive on a hot Summer's day with the windows rolled down.
However, sitting in a car on a really warm day is not always the most comfortable, even with the air conditioning on!
I have been a driving instructor for 25 years and have taught hundreds of people to drive. I can teach you too!
