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.

Female driving instructor
Some people feel more comfortable being taught by a female driving instructor, and if that’s how you feel then it’s worth giving us a call.
Foreign language driving instructor
If English isn’t your first language and you don’t feel confident about your English, that doesn’t have to be a road block.
Automatic driving instructor
RED is here to provide you with expert automatic tuition and get you on the road safely, comfortably, and quickly.
Manual driving instructor
At RED Driving School we can offer both automatic and manual driving lessons. There are many benefits to choosing manual lessons.
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.
