If these steps are not completed before your lesson begins, we cannot continue
What happens on the first lesson?
Never driven before? I tend to go to Berry Hill as it is a quiet and large housing estate popular in the Mansfield area. We go through what you know and skills you do or do not have. We focus on adjusting the car seat, and the basics of moving off and stopping. From there, we go at your pace.
Have experience? I will take you to a suitable location and ask relevant questions on your knowledge and skill and take it from there. All lessons are tailored arranged.
Average number of hours?
The DVSA recommend 45 lessons with an approved driving instructor and 20-25 private tuition. However this is individual and throughout your lessons we can discuss how many more you are needed before test ready.
Length of the lessons?
I always recommend a lesson at 1.5 hours. Enough time for travel to the location and practice. However each person is different. Some lessons are more suited for 1 hours and others for 2 hours especially getting ready for mock and practical tests.

How often should I have lessons?
I strongly recommend a lesson every week to provide consistent progress and up to date skills leading up to your practical test.
When is the best time to book my Theory Test?
If you have a Free theory test, this must be booked after the your first 10 hours are completed. Theory tests are best once you have revised and are ready. We can practice theory during your driving lesson if you wish to improve your confidence and knowledge.
When will I know I am ready for a practical test?
During your lessons we will practice your practical test with mock tests. If you can pass a mock test with low driving faults. You will be ready, however during your lessons we will discuss your strengths and areas for improvement to help with this.
I can't afford today's lesson, can I pay later?
No, I fully appreciate that anything can happen that could affect you, however, everyone is expected to pay for their lessons in advance or before the lesson begins. Failure to provide enough notice to cancel a lesson(48 hours) under the terms and conditions, you are still required to pay for the cancelled lesson within 48 hours. If you decide not too, you are taken off your driving instructor's diary and no refunds or tests will be booked.
I failed my test, what next?
It can seem hard to want to continue, or you failed over something small, or your nerves got the best of you! I get it, been there myself. However you are still expected to continue with your lessons every week until your next practical test. In some situations, depending on the individual, you can have a lesson every other week or reduced hours. To be discussed when and if happens. My car is not provided purely for practical tests. The individual must be TEST ready.
