Our instructors

Calm is the whole skill.

Every instructor combines formal training with a background in education, law enforcement, or commercial driving. That mix matters, because teaching a nervous fifteen year old is a different skill from driving well yourself.

Staying calm in a stressful car is what actually gets an inexperienced driver to the next level. Our instructors are MVA certified, and they coach patiently, because that is the part that works.

How we teach

Slow enough to actually learn.

  • One lesson a week

    Time to practise between

    We schedule one behind the wheel lesson per week on purpose, so there is room to practise what was covered before the next one.

  • Assessed from lesson one

    We start where you are

    Students are assessed on the first lesson. We ask for around 20 hours of practice with a parent or coach beforehand, and a permit held at least four months.

  • 80% by lesson three

    A standard, not a rubber stamp

    By the end of the third lesson the student must pass the evaluation at 80% or higher. If more time is needed, an extra hour can be booked.
