Choosing a driving instructor is an important part of learning to drive.
As the saying goes “a student is only as good as their teacher” – which is why choosing a driving instructor is kind of a big deal. You’re putting all your trust (and hard earned cash) into this person, so it’s pretty important that they are good. Keep reading to find out how to find the best driving instructor for you.
How to choose the best driving instructor?
A quick google search will bring up loads of options for driving instructors in your local area. But it’s probably not a good idea to go with the first name that pops up. Like with any job, some instructors are totally brilliant and others are not so good. We’ve put together a list of 6 things to think about when choosing a driving instructor.
1. Is your driving instructor qualified?
To make sure you’re getting top quality teaching, it’s important to make sure you find an approved driving instructor (ADI). This means your instructor is up to date with all the knowledge and expertise they need to help you pass your test and become a safe driver. You can find Approved Driving Instructors near you on the DVSA website.
If you want a cheaper option you could opt for a trainee driving instructor, also known as a Potential Driving Instructor (PDI). A PDI is someone who has started training to become an ADI. Once they’ve completed their first 2 tests (theory and hazard perception and driving ability) they can start charging for lessons. But here's the thing to consider, PDI’s have not passed their test on instructional ability. The best driving instructors will generally have loads of experience, so it may be worth going with a fully qualified ADI if you can spare the cash.
You can spot whether your instructor is fully qualified by looking at the license in their window. A PDI will have a pink triangle, whereas an ADI will have a green octagon.
2. Have they got a good reputation?
No amount of google searches can beat word of mouth, just ask a few mates who they used. It takes time and effort to build a good reputation. If you’ve heard lots of good things about an instructor, chances are they’ve taught and helped many learners to pass their test before you.
Do you know anyone who is learning to drive or has recently passed their driving test? Why not ask them if they’d recommend their driving instructor? And if you’re the first of your mates to learn to drive, read public reviews on sites such as Trustpilot, Free Index or Facebook. The best driving instructors will have loads of top notch reviews.
3. Where are they based? If you live in a bigger town or city, you’re probably spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a driving instructor. However, if you live in a more rural area your options may be more limited. If you can’t find anyone you’re happy with, don’t be afraid to look at instructors in the next town or village. They may be far better suited to your personality and learning style.
4. Best driving instructor car? Do you want to sit your test for an automatic or manual licence? It’s important that you choose an instructor with the correct transmission, especially if like the majority of drivers you plan on driving a manual car when you pass your test.
Do you already know which car you’re likely to drive when you pass your test? If so, it may be a good option to find an instructor with the same or similar car. This way you can get used to your car before you hit the road alone. Instructors tend to use popular first cars for this very reason. It won’t be a shock to you that Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and VW Polo are a few of the most common driving instructor cars.
5. The cost of driving lessons.
There’s no way around it. Learning to drive is expensive. The cost of driving lessons varies depending on location and instructor.
You’ll often find it’s cheaper to buy a block of lessons than to pay each time, but make sure you’ve had at least one lesson with your instructor before committing to more.
Driving Instructor Training Be your own boss – As a driving instructor, you won’t have someone telling you what to do. You’re in charge, and you get to make the important decisions that affect you. You’ll also be able to make a positive impact on the community around you and meet new people every day.
Teaching is rewarding – You’ll get to meet a lot of new people and teach them an important life skill. Taking a complete beginner and guiding them through to passing their driving test can be an extremely rewarding experience.
Balance your work and life – Making time for things outside of work is important. As a driving instructor, you can control your own hours and balance your life, enabling you to make positive changes to your life and increase your job satisfaction.
No day is really the same – Another benefit of meeting a range of different people from different backgrounds is that no day will ever really be the same. You’ll be teaching students at all different levels, finding the best way to help them grow and become great drivers.

I passed my test FIRST TIME because of lessons from Paul Kerr Driving School. I was recommended to take his manual car driving lessons from my partner who is also Paul's pupil. I travelled from Havant to take lessons and it was so worth it. It was easy and quick to book lessons. Paul is patient, relaxed and supportive. His teaching is so easy to grasp and memorable. Paul tailors his teaching style to suit the pupil whether they are a new or an experienced learner. I wanted to get my license by February and Paul helped me achieve this. Paul Kerr Driving School is the only place I've taken lessons from and I would highly recommend everyone to take lessons from him.Moreexpand_more

I would highly recommend Paul for driving lessons! He has great expertise and experience in the areas. Paul has a great teaching style and is very personable. I also found his flexibility made it easy to fit lessons into my busy schedule. He really helped me build confidence behind the wheel, and I passed my test with flying colors! 5 stars all the way.

Paul was always there for me when scheduling lessons and giving me advice during lessons or outside of lessons to help me improve. Gave me all sorts of apps, videos, websites, etc. That really aided me along the way of learning how to drive. He also would ask what I want to improve on and we would focus on it and then go through different roads and situations to help me learn for the future when I got my licence. I was able to pass my theory and practical first time thanks to Paul and he told me how to be calm during test and problems. One problem occurred in a test and thanks to Paul I smashed the problem out of the park with ease. He is a BRILLIANT driving instructor.
