How to find a good driving instructor
Choosing the right driving instructor is a crucial step in your journey to becoming a confident and skilled driver. A good instructor not only teaches you the technical aspects of driving but also helps you build the confidence and road awareness needed to handle various situations safely. Look for someone who is fully qualified, experienced, and holds a good reputation, as this ensures they have the necessary skills and knowledge to guide you effectively.
Here are a few tips on what you should look for when finding a good driving instructor:
Choosing an instructor who aligns with your unique learning style is crucial for maximizing your progress. RED makes sure to connect you with instructors who are patient, friendly, and clear communicators. Whether you thrive under a structured approach or prefer a more relaxed, creative atmosphere, RED ensures your instructor’s teaching style caters to your needs, helping you feel supported and confident as you learn.
When selecting an instructor, their schedule should work with yours—not the other way around. RED offers lessons that are flexible and can be customised to fit your schedule, whether you need weekly sessions or a more accelerated learning plan.
One of the most reliable ways to find the perfect instructor is through recommendations and reviews. With RED, you’ll have access to a pool of verified reviews and recommendations from satisfied students, ensuring transparency and trustworthiness. Whether you’re guided by personal referrals from friends and family or are exploring online feedback, RED ensures you have the information needed to make a confident choice.
The first interaction with an instructor can be a game-changer. With RED, you can easily schedule a trial lesson to test the waters. This opportunity allows you to experience the instructor’s teaching style firsthand and assess their personality. A trial lesson provides a low-pressure environment to decide whether they’ll make your learning journey enjoyable, engaging, and ultimately successful.
Remember, a supportive instructor can make the learning process smoother, helping you to not only pass your driving test but also develop safe driving habits for a lifetime.

Look for an instructor who is fully qualified and registered with a recognized driving school or governing body. In many places, they should hold a valid Instructor Registration Certificate and have completed the necessary training and examinations to teach learners.
The gender of the instructor is a personal preference. Some learners may feel more comfortable with an instructor of a specific gender. It's essential to choose someone you feel at ease with, regardless of gender.
Consider booking a trial lesson or an introductory session to assess the instructor's teaching style. Pay attention to their communication skills, patience, and ability to explain concepts clearly. This can help you determine if they match your learning preferences.
Inquire about their experience, teaching methods, lesson structure, availability, and any specialisations (such as teaching nervous drivers or those with disabilities). You can also ask about their success rates and how they track student progress.
There are many benefits to choosing manual lessons, such as having more control, the ability to drive a wide range of makes and models that only come with manual transmission, and, in some cases, greater fuel efficiency. Find out more.
