Absolutely. We specialise in helping nervous learners and those with anxiety. Andy's patient and calm teaching style will make sure you never feel rushed or pressured. We'll start in quiet areas and gradually build your confidence. Many of our students who began anxious ended up loving their lessons and passing with flying colours.

Our regular teaching hours are 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM, Monday through Saturday. Saturday slots are available for those who can't do weekdays. We do not offer evening or Sunday lessons. If you have specific timing requests, let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate.

This varies for everyone depending on prior experience, natural aptitude, and how often you practise. On average, learners need around 40-50 hours of professional instruction plus private practice. We'll give you an honest assessment after your first few lessons and create a learning plan tailored to your goals.

You'll learn in our modern, well-maintained dual-control car. It's kept clean and comfortable so you can focus entirely on learning. The dual controls mean the instructor can intervene if needed, ensuring your safety at all times.

Yes! We provide study resources including recommended apps and websites for practice questions and hazard perception clips. We'll also answer your Highway Code questions during lessons and give you tips to help you pass your theory test first time.

Don't worry – failing is a normal part of learning for many people. We'll debrief after your test to understand what went wrong, then focus lessons on those specific areas. You can rebook your test and we'll continue preparing you until you pass. Many successful drivers didn't pass first time!

Yes, we can arrange intensive or semi-intensive courses if you need to pass quickly. These involve multiple lessons per week to get you test-ready in a shorter timeframe. Contact us to discuss your timeline and we'll create a custom intensive plan that works for you.
