Choosing the Right Driving Instructor for You: A Guide

Choosing the Right Driving Instructor for You: A Guide
Published on August 14, 2025

Finding the right driving instructor is crucial. A great instructor will not only teach you the skills but also build your confidence and make the process enjoyable. Here are some factors to consider when making your choice:

  • **Qualifications:** Ensure your instructor is a DVSA-approved Approved Driving Instructor (ADI). Look for the green badge in their windscreen, indicating a fully qualified professional.
  • **Teaching Style:** Do they match your learning style? A patient, calm instructor is essential for anxious learners, while a more direct style may suit others.
  • **Reviews and Reputation:** What do past students say? Check online reviews and testimonials to get a sense of their success rate and teaching effectiveness.
  • **Modern, Safe Vehicle:** Your training vehicle should be modern, well-maintained, and easy to drive. This ensures both your safety and a comfortable learning environment.
  • **Personalised Approach:** A good instructor will tailor lessons to your individual needs and pace, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
