We are parents too. We worried (and still do) when our kids get into their cars, or those of their friends. We also know that teaching your own wonderful offspring can be hugely stressful for everyone involved.
As a Trainee Driving Instructor at RED Driving School, my goal is to put the professional basics in place so you can enjoy helping them practice when the time is right.
A Structured Partnership: The DVSA recommends a minimum of 45 hours of tutor-led instruction plus 20 hours of private practice. I structure my CruiseCTRL courses to ensure students get the maximum return from every hour. I’m always happy to speak with parents and carers about a student's progress, ensuring a smooth hand-off for those private practice sessions.
Professionalism as Standard This isn't a part-time hobby; it’s my profession. Because I am fully committed to this venture as a RED associate, I invest 100% of my time into your child's safety and success. By learning with me through RED, you benefit from:
Consistent Lesson Quality: Freshly trained in the latest 2026 DVSA standards.
Modern Vehicles: Students learn in a well-maintained, dual-controlled RED tuition car—not a modified family vehicle.
National Support: A dedicated RED back-office team ensuring the journey is seamless from the first lesson to the final test.
I take pride in making sure the experience is highly professional from a parent's perspective, but fun, patient, and engaging for my students.
Message me through the site and I'll be in touch to set you up on the Red platform and get lessons booked.
