Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any experience before my first lesson?

No experience is needed at all. Whether it's your very first time in a car or you're starting over after a break, lessons are tailored to your level. You’ll be supported from the very first turn of the wheel.

What kind of car will I learn in?

You’ll learn in a modern Toyota Yaris Hybrid with automatic transmission. This car is smooth, quiet, and ideal for learners who want to focus on road awareness without worrying about gears.

I’m nervous about driving. Can you help?

Absolutely. Many learners feel nervous at first. Mike specialises in creating a relaxed, judgment-free environment where you can build confidence at your own pace.

How do I book a lesson?

You can call or message Mike directly to arrange your first session. There’s no app or complicated portal — just a simple, friendly conversation to get you started.
