Lessons around school, sixth form and college
We can pick you up from school or college, and lessons can fit around exams and revision. Many young drivers find lighter evenings, weekends and holidays the best time for more intensive practice.
Information for parents
Parents often want to know about progress, practising in the family car and insurance. We are happy to talk this through. Private practice alongside lessons is one of the best ways to speed up learning. Remember that anyone supervising must be over 21 and have held a full licence for at least three years, and the learner must be insured.
