Driving Lessons
As your Driving Trainer and Coach, I will help you discover that learning to drive goes beyond the practical skills you may initially think you need to pass your Driving Test. With my Client Centred approach, we will tailor your learning to not only how you learn best, but also involve you in the decision-making process during your lessons. I will help you build your self-awareness in an in-car setting and by arriving at the solution yourself you will gradually take greater responsibility for your own learning.
With Audrey Russell Driving School you will enjoy a value for money learning experience. You will gain a greater understanding of all the risk factors associated with different road situations. With each lesson you will reflect upon and self-evaluate the areas you feel you need to develop and those aspects that are going well.
As you develop your own knowledge and understanding with my guidance, you will find your positive attitudes will develop to help you become an empowered and thoughtful driver. What could be better than not only being a confident driver, but also a safe driver for life.
A life skill…
Instructor Training
Are you looking for a change in career? Are you looking for a business opportunity where you can develop a work/life balance to suit your circumstances.
Training to become an ADI will be possibly one of the most rewarding decisions you will ever make. It was for me! My circumstances were such that I could dedicated my time full time to my training. This meant I qualified to become an ADI within a year. I have since went on to further develop my qualifications to be able to provide Instructor Training in accordance with the DVSA ‘National Standard for Driver and Rider Training’.
As an ADI you will have a natural talent for helping and communicating with people and this together with holding a Full Driving Licence for at least 3 years and be over the age of 21, will be all the qualifications you need.
This may seem straightforward, but be under no illusion that training is rigorous, but Audrey Russell Instructor Support will you through this every step of the way. Once you have qualified, you will realise this is the best career move you ever made.
Instructor Training Support
Having benefitted from excellent training providers as well as holding the BTEC 4 in Coaching for Driver Development, Audrey Russell Driving School can help provide comprehensive support preparing you for all three qualifying tests to become a great instructor.
