Patient and friendly Driving Instructors
Teaching people with learning difficulties can sometimes take a lot of patience, understanding and awareness of the difficulty or disability. It can take longer for the student to grasp a concept, especially as some aspects of driving aren’t black and white. Driving situations can change rapidly and students need to be able to make decisions quickly. As a driving instructor, it is very important to realise that learning these skills can be quite challenging and therefore may take more time, patience and understanding.
Our driving instructors all:
- Have exceptional instructional ability and excellent communication skills;
- Are friendly, patient, likeable, of good character and;
- Hold a police clearance and working with children card;
Unique lesson plans and visual teaching aids
- We use structured lesson plans and select content to the students’ specific ability. This ensures they cover everything required to become a skilful, safe and confident driver.
- We track the students progress digitally so the instructor knows exactly how they are progressing.
- We use digital teaching aids that explain things visually to help give a clearer explanation of the techniques being taught. These teaching aids work to help overcome any limitations with communication and are highly beneficial for students who are visual thinkers/learners. See the example below.
Dual-controlled vehicles
All our vehicles are fitted with dual controls to ensure maximum safety at all times. These dual controls offer our students the ability to take full control of the decision-making process, facilitating accelerated learning, whilst feeling assured our professional, highly skilled instructors are able to maintain safety at all times.
