The things people ring up and ask

How many lessons will I need?

Most learners who also practise with a parent take between fifteen and twenty-five hours with me. Learners doing all their driving in lessons need closer to forty. I will give you a straight estimate after the second lesson and revise it as we go.

Automatic or manual?

If you have no particular reason to learn manual, learn automatic — it is faster and cheaper, and converting later is only a few lessons. If you want to drive a ute for work or a hire car overseas, learn manual now.

Will you tell me if I am not ready for the test?

Yes, plainly, and more than once if needed. I would rather lose a test-day booking than watch you fail on a hook turn.

Do you teach nervous or older learners?

About a third of my learners are over thirty, and roughly as many are anxious drivers returning after a break. Quiet industrial streets on a Sunday morning are a perfectly respectable place to start.

Ring, text, or leave a voicemail

I answer between lessons and always by the evening.
