About me
I am a qualified DVSA approved driving instructor
My name is Keith and I’m a fully qualified driving instructor (ADI). I retired early 3 years ago but quickly realised that retirement wasn’t for me so decided to retrain and embark on a new journey to teach pupils to pass their driving test, but above all else to learn to drive safely. I’ve over 40 years of driving experience and I’m committed to providing the best training and sharing my driving experience with my learners.
After serving in the Army I decided upon a career in the city working for various well known financial institutions but 3 decades later I wanted to do something completely different, so I took early retirement and decided to retrain as a driving instructor. I've always enjoyed driving and love the idea of helping others learn a valuable life skill
When I’m not teaching I love spending time with my family. My wife and I live in the charming town of Cranbrook, Kent. I have 3 grown up children, a dog Charlie and cat Tigger. We love living in the countryside and all it has to offer.

Lessons

1 hour Introduction lesson
Try out my 1 hour introductory lesson. I understand that learning to drive can be a stressful experience, so to help you make the correct decision why not try a 1 hour introductory lesson for £42

2 hour standard lessons
In my experience the minimum lesson time should be 2 hours because I believe most pupils need this time to fully relax and learn.

10 hour block sessions
The average time required with a qualified instructor to pass a driving test in the UK is 45 hours. Learning to drive is an expensive commitment so to help ease the burden condsider booking 10 hours (5x2 hour lessons) at a discounted rate.
