Why find your instructor through us?

Checked before we introduce

We check every instructor is on the DVSA register as a fully qualified instructor and is insured.

Local, not a big chain

Independent instructors and small local schools only. No national companies.

Pay your instructor directly

Book with a £50 deposit. The rest goes straight to your instructor.

Matched in 3 working days

Not matched within 3 working days? Your £50 deposit is refunded in full.

How it works

Four steps to a local instructor we trust

You’ve got enough to think about without being passed around by a national company. We taught here for more than 10 years, so we know the difference between a good instructor and a wasted hour. Now we use that to find you a fully qualified independent instructor, or a small local school, close to where you are.

  1. Tell us what you need

    Tell us your area, manual or automatic, and how many hours you want.

  2. Fill in the form

    Fill in the form and sign the consent.

  3. Pay a £50 deposit

    The rest goes straight to your instructor.

  4. Get introduced

    We introduce you within 3 working days. You pay your instructor directly for the lessons.

Not matched within 3 working days? Your £50 deposit is refunded in full. First introduction not right, and you haven’t started lessons? We’ll introduce one more person at no extra charge.

Why a deposit? Your £50 deposit secures your place while we check your instructor and introduce you. It’s part of your package price, not an extra. They’re on the official DVSA register, they’re insured, and they cover your area.

All prices include everything. You pay a £50 deposit when you book, and the rest directly to your instructor. You’ll need a valid UK provisional driving licence. Apply on GOV.UK.

obie is not a nice guy at all, he somehow is getting all the bad reviews taken down which is why i have to give 3 stars. He bragged about making students - mostly female students - cry, on my first lesson. Would be on his phone the whole time, and then mocking me whenever i’d make a mistake, both to me, and to his friends/family on the phone. Very discouraging and rude. He would say things like ‘no way you actually think youre going to pass’ and other discouraging statements. Until the day before my test, he never even let me drive around where my test center was, he would just make me drive to where his next student was to save himself the commute. He would cancel last min, spend lesson time getting petrol and even once made me drive to his house so he could leave and do something at home, leaving me sat in the car for 10-15 mins. Wouldn't recommend at all. They respond by saying ‘theres no record of me’ as a student when all you can see is my initials so how would you even know that 🤣 pathetic
