Our Driving Instructors

With a background in long-distance haulage and multidrop courier work, I bring a wealth of real-world driving experience to every lesson. I teach in a manual Citroën DS3, giving learners practical, hands-on experience that prepares them for everyday driving. I have experience supporting students with ADHD, dyslexia, and anxiety, and I aim to create a calm, patient, and encouraging learning environment tailored to each individual. Everyone learns differently, and I take pride in adapting my approach to help each pupil build confidence at their own pace. I cover areas across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, including the Ashfield, Derby, Chesterfield, Worksop, and Colwick test centres. I’m also happy to consider short-notice test pupils following an initial meeting to assess suitability and goals. Outside of instructing, I’m a big Formula 1 fan and enjoy good food—especially Indian and Chinese cuisine, as well as trying new places to eat. When I get the chance, I like to keep active with trips to the gym.
