PAD Driving School
If you’re looking for a driving instructor who is easy to get along with, reliable and understands that a flexible approach to learning is important, then you have come to the right place.
I am a DVSA Approved Driving Instructor and BSM Partner Franchisee. You will learn to drive in a BSM branded Peugeot 208 that is fitted with dual controls. We will record your progress using the BSM Driving School App (available on both Apple & Android devices), allowing you to share your progress with family and friends if you wish. The App also gives easy access your planned lessons, allowing you to confirm lesson dates and times.
Learning to drive is not just about passing a test and gaining a full driving license. So developing skills and behaviours that encourage safe driving practices way beyond that point is vital. Having worked in retail businesses for many years, I am very experienced at teaching new skills to people of all ages and coaching them to develop skills and behaviours that they carry with them into their future lives.
As people learn in different ways and at different paces, my lessons are conducted in a relaxed and varied manner, yet to the high standard you would expect from one of the countries leading driving schools.
I recommend lessons of 1.5 or 2 hours in duration so you get the most out of the lesson. You are likely to reach the test standard sooner with longer lessons but these can be varied to suit each pupil's needs.
So whether you are new to learning to drive, have recently passed your test or you are an experienced driver looking to brush up on some of your driving skills, get in touch with me to discuss your requirements.
About me
I am a family man and have lived in Beeston for over 25 years along with my wife, having relocated as part of the Toys R Us store opening team in Nottingham.
With three grown-up children and three grandchildren, much of my spare time is spent enjoying family time. I enjoy nothing more than supporting my grandchildren in their chosen sports of football and horse riding.
​
Having worked in retail store management for most of my career and more latterly regional and operational roles, I wanted a new challenge and made the decision to train as a driving instructor with the AA/BSM driving school & am now a DVSA Approved Driving Instuctor.
As a result of experience gained in my previous career and, having been a Scout & Youth Leader for a number of years, I easily build rapport with people of all ages and create a calm and re-assuring learning environment.
