About Me

With over 30 years of service as a police officer specialising in road traffic and post-incident management, I bring a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to my role as a driving instructor. I was an advanced police driver for over 20 years, a qualification that provides me with an in-depth understanding of road safety, defensive driving, and effective hazard perception. Whilst no longer driving police vehicles, the training and practical skills over 20+ years still hold true today.

As a former qualified driving test examiner, I have a unique perspective on the test process and what it takes to pass it. This experience has deepened my ability to assess and build driving skills that ensure learners are well-prepared and confident when they take their test.

I hold a Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET), which has equipped me with the teaching expertise to create structured, effective lessons that cater to different learning styles. My teaching approach is rooted in empathy, patience, and reassurance, especially when it comes to preparing for the practical test. I have a calming disposition and a tenacious commitment to each learner’s success, ensuring they feel supported and confident. I understand that the test can be stressful for many learners, so I focus on fostering a supportive environment that encourages confidence and reduces anxiety.

My philosophy is thus: each learner deserves personalised instruction that meets their unique needs. I combine my comprehensive background in policing and advanced driving with a customer-centric approach. This ensures that my lessons are more than just about passing the test—they are about becoming a confident, responsible, and safe driver.

Choose me for a driving instruction experience. With my professional background, AET teaching certification, and focus on empathy, patience, and reassurance, I am dedicated to helping you succeed not just in the test, but for a lifetime on the road.
