I have been a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor since 2023.
Before this, I spent the majority of my work-life working with horses. I was a qualified coach and instructor both within the Armed Forces within the Household Cavalry in London. I have also trained and coached within some prestigious civilian organisations and worked alongside World-class trainers and coaches. Professionally, I competed at national level and produced horses for clients at many levels. I have a class 2 HGV licence and have towed trailers for many years, so i have a great understanding of other road users, and use this information regularly in lessons.
Although I no longer teach horse riding, I use my 20+ years of coaching and teaching experience to give my learners the best chance of being the safest they can be on the road…long after they’ve passed their test.
As part of my continuous training as a driving instructor, I am qualified to teach disabled learners with high-tech adaptations to their own automatic vehicles. Over recent years, i have helped neuro-divergent learners, and those with severe anxiety or learning difficulties, to get that all important full licence and be independent road users.
My style of teaching is relaxed and friendly and is driven by the individuals needs and learning style.
I teach in a 2019 Ford Puma.
With 17 years of experience as a police officer, I bring a wealth of real-world driving knowledge and professionalism to every lesson. During my time in the police, I served as a blue light response and advanced police driver, and worked in various specialist units including armed response, police dogs, and marine policing. These roles have helped me develop exceptional awareness, precision, and calmness behind the wheel.
I’m also qualified to drive HGV Class 1 and 2 vehicles and have experience driving high-end vehicles and VIPs, which has given me a broad understanding of safe, confident driving in all kinds of conditions.
I specialise in automatic driving lessons across Poole and Bournemouth, and pride myself on creating a calm, relaxed, and enjoyable learning environment. Learning to drive can be stressful enough, so I make sure each lesson is tailored to your individual needs – helping you build confidence, develop your skills, and become a safe driver for life.
You’ll learn in my 2024 (74 plate) Automatic Renault Clio Hybrid E-Tech, a smooth, modern, and eco-friendly car that makes driving both comfortable and enjoyable.
As a trainee driving instructor (PDI), I’ve completed extensive theory and practical training and am now building valuable experience as I work toward full qualification.
