Your Instructor & Our Approach<\/h1>\n

Here you can find out more about us, who we are and how we approach things so you can gauge if our values appeal to you.\u00a0 We'll always be happy to talk to you as well if you want to Contact Us<\/a> to find out more.<\/p>\n

Who We Are<\/h2>\n

\"me\"My name is David Prodger.\u00a0 I am a fully qualified DVSA accredited Approved Driving Instructor (ADI).\"DVSA-Approved-Driving-Instructor_70high\"<\/p>\n

I have over 10 years experience as a qualified driving instructor, helping people with their driving goals.\u00a0 I have over 25 years experience training people and bringing their skills to the fore to get the best out of them. I am comfortable dealing with pretty much all personalities and types of people.\u00a0 When instructing in the car, I like to have a laugh where possible, whilst keeping the focus on developing the pupil's driving skill.<\/p>\n

I hold\u00a0the RoSPA Gold which is described as \"the highest civilian driving standard available and the holder will be a master of his or her art<\/em>\", as well as the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) Advanced Driver qualification, so you know that your instructor can practice what he preaches.<\/p>\n

I have always had a passion for driving and for cars and have owned a host of different\u00a0types of\u00a0cars including front, rear and 4 wheel drive cars as well as motorbikes.\u00a0 I now use this interest to teach others how to drive safely and effectively for the benefit of all of us as road users. I am trained in the latest client centred training techniques and always like to keep progressing as a driving instructor, enhancing my driving and instructional skills.<\/p>\n

Outside of work I like to spend as much time with my family as I can and playing golf.<\/p>\n

Our Approach<\/h2>\n

\"approach2_wordcloud\"<\/p>\n

It's All About You!<\/h3>\n

\"about_you\"The key to getting the best from you isn't about us, it's about you! Everyone is different and everyone responds differently to different ways of learning. We want to learn and understand what makes you tick, and how you as an individual will learn best. For example some people respond better to diagrams, others demonstrations and others just listening, or combinations of those. As we learn about you, we adapt our teaching approach to what works best for you, helping you to learn as quickly as possible, build your confidence and get you to a good standard of driving sooner.<\/p>\n

That approach isn't a static one either, we'll keep evaluating how you are progressing and responding and continually adapt, changing our approach as you change to ensure we keep getting the best from you and you're getting the best value from us.<\/p>\n

Teamwork<\/h3>\n

We're a team, you and I! It's very important to us that we work with you closely, driving (literally and metaphorically) towards the same goals; for you to pass your driving test and become a great driver for many years to come. We only succeed if you do as our business will grow through a continuing good reputation.\u00a0 We're in it together!<\/p>\n

Tools & Techniques<\/h3>\n

We use combinations of tools to assist you in your driving development and us in our training.<\/p>\n
