me and my new Ford teaching vehicle. A great car for Driving Lessons in Basingstoke

Hi,

My name is David,

I am your local Grade "A" Qualified Driving Instructor.

Welcome to Hampshire Driving Lessons.

 

All possible precautions will be taken to ensure your safety regarding Covid19, in accordance with government guidelines.

This will remain on my site post Covid for future reference.

Please thoroughly read the page on Covid19 as listed in the menu.

 

I offer Basingstoke based Manual Driving Lessons in and around the local surrounding area.

I use a Manual Ford Puma Hybrid as my teaching vehicle, and I have over 31years experience in

Driving instruction and ADI instruction for both parts 2 and 3 Instructor Exams.

As a qualified driver, I hold the certificates from the four main different governing bodies.

I am also registered to conduct the Hampshire County Council Pass Plus Drivers Scheme, where by you can apply for a £75 discount. 

I have previously conducted the on-road Driving sessions for the Government Driver Awareness

Course, in conjunction with the Thames Valley Police Dept.

 

I offer a range of courses to suit everybody's needs.

It is my job to adapt to my students, and not their job to adapt to me.

I use "client based" teaching and coaching techniques to allow and encourage the student to develop their own judgements and abilities, while guiding them through each stage at their own pace.

This is achieved by using a questions and answers method, and allowing the student time to analyse 

their own decisions and to improve on their development from those decisions.

Whether starting from scratch or developing existing skills, as a qualified Driving Instructor, I teach Driving as a skill for life, not just to pass a test.

I believe that everybody can learn to drive, you just need the right instructor.

 

If you are lucky enough to have access to a family car, or your own car, for additional private practice, this can improve your confidence and reduce your learning time.

With a little pre-planning by yourself, and with my guidance, we will make a good team, and as a result you can rapidly improve your progress.

Of course, the more time you allow for your theory study, the easier you should find the practical sessions.

 

Understanding the various aspects of driving is as important as being able to do it. Be prepared to allow time between lessons to reflect on your progress as this will help your development for next time.

good foundations early on will benefit you later. this will develop as your driving lessons progress.

I will structure your learning in a logical and methodical way to give you a solid foundation.

​

Everybody learns new skills at a different pace.

Some may take a short while, and others a little longer. This does not reflect badly on you if one particular task proves to be a bit tricky to master.

The final result and the confidence to deliver that comes from the quality of your learning, not the quantity.

The ability to adapt your skills to the constantly changing and developing environment will greatly improve with experience.

We will drive on roads outside of the Basingstoke area also.

 

There is no exact science to decide how long it may take any individual to master the skills of driving. You may be one of the lucky ones that has a natural flair for driving, or you could be like the rest of us, and have to work at it.

It is my job as your Driving Instructor, as mentioned, to adapt my teaching technique to suit your learning style, not for you to adapt to me.

Apprehension, anxiety, nervousness and uncertainty are all normal emotions to feel when learning to drive.

These will all eventually pass as your progress improves at your own pace.
