Common Loughton Test Roads Covered
Even though Loughton Test Centre is “easier” to pass at than Chingford and Wanstead, the chances are equal. Don’t listen to hearsay, the fact is Loughton routes still have their quirks. We know them well and will guide you to a pass. Its not the test centre – it’s your ability to take everything into account, have excellent awareness and plan for every potential hazard

Are you a qualified driving instructor?

About Us
Sean
I retired from policing after 30 years, during which I specialised in Roads Policing for 8 years. My career involved investigating fatal and serious collisions, providing family liaison support, enforcing road safety laws, and delivering educational talks on road safety. I also served as a Driving Examiner at the Chingford and Wanstead test centres, where I gained valuable insights into driving standards and the needs of learners.
As a Grade A driving instructor and an advanced driver for over 20 years, I’m proud to be in the top 4% of drivers. I’ve developed a high level of hazard awareness and perception, which allows me to spot potential hazards long before they become an issue. In fact, I struggled with the DVSA hazard perception test, as I tend to notice things developing early—guess that’s just the advantage of being an advanced driver!
I’m also a former motorcycle CBT & DAS instructor and hold an AET Level 3 qualification. This equips me with the ability to deliver structured, student-focused instruction. My teaching approach focuses on precision, attention to detail, and ensuring the highest standard of learning.
I’m passionate about making complex learning easier while maintaining top-grade standards. I aim to present information in a way that’s easy to understand and implement, so my students can feel confident and prepared on the road.
When I’m not teaching, I’m often playing guitar or scuba diving—both hobbies that require focus, skill development, and a pursuit of excellence.
