"made me feel completely at ease"

“Dear Sir or Madam

I am writing to thank the school for providing me with the skills to pass my driving test.

Having failed my driving test twice thirteen years ago and having not been behind the wheel since, I was quite wary about trying again. But my instructor, Martin, made me feel completely at ease. The course had more structure than my lessons years ago and, I have to say, the professionalism and manner in which Martin teaches had me wishing I'd been able to learn from someone like him from the start. I think he must be the most patient person I have met!”

Choosing Your Instructor

Male or Female

It may be important for the student to have a female instructor. There are far fewer female instructors than male in the UK, and so they are often in high demand. If you would like a female instructor look for a driving school where there is one available.

Smoker

If you cannot stand the smell of cigarette smoke, it might be worth checking that your instructor is a non-smoker. Although they wouldn’t be allowed to smoke in the car, it might still be worth asking about.
