Summary

Hi, I’m David, your local driving instructor.
I’m a fully qualified and Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) with a background as an ex-police driver. My previous experience has given me advanced driving skills, strong hazard awareness, and a calm, methodical approach to teaching.
I specialise in automatic cars — so there are no gears and no clutch to worry about. This allows you to focus fully on steering, road positioning, observation, and building confidence behind the wheel. I also have a manual car so you can try both to see what you prefer.
As well as teaching learner drivers, I’m also an experienced HGV instructor. That means I bring a wider understanding of road safety, larger vehicles, blind spots, and defensive driving techniques into every lesson — helping you become not just a test-ready driver, but a safe driver for life.
I’m friendly, patient and supportive. I understand that learning to drive can feel daunting at first, so lessons are always structured at your pace, in a calm and encouraging environment.
If you’re looking for professional, reliable automatic tuition with real-world experience behind it, I’d be happy to help you get started.
I also offer confidence training and motorhome driving training.
