Learn to drive with confidence
A specialist driving school for learners who need more than a standard lesson: complete beginners, nervous drivers, ADHD, autism, dyslexia and dyspraxia. Taught calmly, patiently, and at your pace.
What makes us different
Specialist driving lessons
Most driving schools say they are patient. This one is built around the learners who need that most, and says exactly who they are.
Every lesson is tailored to how you learn. Shorter instructions if that helps. More repetition if you want it. A route you already know until you are ready for one you don't. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is assumed.
Complete beginners
Never sat in the driver's seat. We start on quiet roads and build from there, at whatever pace suits you.
from £37/hr 02Nervous & anxious learners
If a previous instructor put you off, or the thought of a busy road makes you feel sick, this is the most common reason people ring us.
from £37/hr 03ADHD
Shorter, clearer instructions, one thing at a time, and lessons structured so attention is never the thing being tested.
£40/hr 04Autism spectrum condition
Predictable routines, the same car and the same instructor every week, and as much notice of any change as we can give.
£40/hr 05Dyslexia & dyspraxia
Spoken and demonstrated rather than written. Extra time on coordination, spatial judgement and sequencing where it helps.
£40/hr 06Returning & international drivers
Refreshers, mature learners coming back to it, licence holders new to UK roads, and anyone who has failed a test before.

Straight answers
Before you book
The questions we are asked most on a first phone call. If yours isn't here, just ask; we answer our own phone.
I'm really nervous. Is that a problem?
It is the most common thing pupils say, and it is one of the things we specialise in. First lessons start on quiet residential streets, the car has dual controls, and nothing happens faster than you want it to. Several pupils have taken three lessons before touching a main road, and that is completely fine.
Do you teach learners with ADHD, autism or dyslexia?
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. Lessons are tailored to how you learn: shorter instructions, one thing at a time, more repetition, predictable routines, and as much notice of any change as we can give. Specialist lessons are £40 an hour.
How much are driving lessons?
£37 for a single hour, or £350 for a 10 hour block booking, which is our starter offer. Intensive courses are £760 for 20 hours and £1,140 for 30. Specialist lessons for additional learning needs are £40 an hour. Full price list.
I have failed my test before. Can you help?
Yes, and we are asked for this often. We start by finding out exactly what went wrong rather than starting again from scratch, then work on those specific things until they are no longer the weak point.
Do I need my theory test first?
No. You only need a valid provisional licence to start lessons. Book your theory early though: you cannot book a practical test without a theory pass, and waiting lists move slowly.
Manual or automatic?
Both are taught in a dual-controlled car. A manual licence lets you drive anything; automatic is usually quicker to pass and suits pupils who find clutch control stressful. Tell us your situation on the call and we will say honestly which we would recommend.
