Driving Lessons Tailored to You
Learning to drive is about much more than simply passing your test, over the last 18 years we have built a solid reputation for excellent customer service in conjunction with delivering results. Whether you’re getting behind the wheel for the first time, have already had lessons with another instructor or you’re returning to driving after a break, we’ll start from where you are and help you progress at a pace that works for you.
Learn to Drive – Not Just to Pass the Test
Our driving lessons are fully structured with a firm aim and objective of what is to be achieved during the lesson. Once we have established the learning goals for the session with the student and checked they have a good theory knowledge for that topic, we then set a plan to achieve maximum learning during the driving lesson.
Our driving instructors are highly skilled in coaching during lessons. They will give full, easy to understand assistance when required or simply use prompts to help guide to a successful outcome. The instructors aim is to transfer responsibility to the student to enable totally independent driving.
Using this system makes passing the driving test far more of a formality, as students will already have mastered independent driving before the big day resulting in far less driving test day nerves and giving the student much more confidence and as a result.
We don’t believe in gimmicks or unrealistic promises just high quality lessons and customer service.
Driving Lessons for Every Stage of Learning
Complete Beginners
Never driven before? That’s exactly what driving lessons are for. Your instructor will introduce everything gradually, starting in a suitable area where you can get comfortable with the car and basic controls.
Nervous Learners
Feeling nervous about learning to drive is completely normal. Our instructors are patient and supportive, and lessons can progress at a pace that helps you build genuine confidence rather than feeling rushed.
Already Had Lessons?
Changing instructor doesn’t mean starting again. We’ll look at the skills you’ve already developed, identify anything that needs more work and tailor your lessons accordingly.
Getting Ready for Your Test?
If you’ve already built up plenty of driving experience, lessons can concentrate on any weaker areas, independent driving and making sure you can demonstrate your skills consistently rather than simply rehearsing a test route.
Learn With an Instructor You Can Trust
The relationship you build with your driving instructor can make a huge difference to your experience of learning to drive. Our instructors are friendly, professional and committed to helping you become a safe and confident driver.
Every instructor working with John Harvey Driving School has been trained by John, helping us maintain consistent standards of tuition across the school.
