About me
Hi, I'm James, I am a fully qualified Government Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) to give driving instruction and I am passionate about road safety. I’m currently providing manual driving lessons in my Renault Clio Play Tce 100 Start/Stop car.

I decided to train to become a driving instructor after being made redundant from John Lewis Peterborough following the branches closure in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. I had worked for John Lewis for more than 20 years, how time flies! From my previous customer facing role in John Lewis providing customers and now learner drivers with excellent customer service is at the heart of the service that I deliver. My main motivation to train to become a driving instructor was that I wanted a new career with real job satisfaction. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing someone pass their driving test. I was also always being told by friends and work colleagues that I am a calm, relaxed and extremely patient person that I would make a great driving instructor. So I went for it and haven’t looked back.

With regards my training to become a driving instructor I am fortunate to be training with Learning Driving Centre (LDC) using the latest adult coaching and training techniques so you can be assured the training I give will be of the highest standard.

I chose to work with LDC because every learner is different and the Learner Driver (LD) System allows for flexibility in lessons so that you learn to drive safely at a rate that suits you. I aim to make every lesson enjoyable and as productive as possible. The LD System just helps me to do this more effectively.

Driving lessons with me are always conducted in a calm, friendly and relaxed manner as I firmly believe in making pupils feel at ease during their lessons with me.

Outside of work I enjoy swimming, days out, music festivals (I’ve been to Glastonbury 7 times!), skiing holidays and beach holidays, somewhere hot and sunny.

Well I hope this gives you a brief idea about me, please feel free to "Contact me" via my website, my Facebook page or by telephoning or texting 0777 889 4744. Thank you. James.
