Instructor bio
I have been a professional driving instructor since 1993 and my aim is to put safe drivers on the road.
I have over 20 years’ experience helping people become responsible drivers with a specific focus on defensive driving - anticipating what other drivers might do and knowing how to react to ensure optimum safety at all times.
I pride myself on being patient and calm, and I know how to bring the best out in every student, no matter what age, level of competence or temperament.
Whether you want to learn yourself or are looking for someone you can trust to teach a member of your family to be safe on the road, I can help.

Ian was good, matured and helpful. He was very professional. My experience with him was good. I will arrange another lesson with him soon.

I can't thank Ian enough for helping me secure my license. Ian is patient, friendly and very kindhearted. Ian was flexible moving times when I needed and never rushed our lessons. I enjoyed the friendly conversations we shared whilst he taught, and I always felt completely comfortable. I highly highly recommend Ian. The best in the business!!

Learn in your car
Learning in your own car can be a good idea if:
- You are a confident learner driver about to take a driving test
- You are on a provisional or unrestricted licence
- You have a new car to familiarise yourself with
Learning in your own car is not suitable for inexperienced or new learner drivers.
Our instructors are happy to offer lessons in your car if it is registered, roadworthy, comprehensively insured & clean. Our instructors reserve the right to refuse instruction in your car if they believe your driving skills or vehicle condition are a safety risk. The instructor may wish to conduct one or more lessons in their own vehicle prior.
To learn in your own car, simply add a lesson note upon booking.

Logbook 1 hr = 3 hrs
For every 1 hour structured driving lesson you complete with a licensed driving instructor, you can record 3 hours driving experience in your log book. A maximum of 10 hours of lessons will be accepted and recorded as 30 hours driving experience.
Driving lessons at night (between sunset and sunrise) count for only 1 hour of night driving. The other 2 hours are added to your day driving hours.
