Dan: Driving instructor in Tilbury

Helping people gain the essential life skill of driving is something I’m truly passionate about. Everyone should have the opportunity to pass their test and experience the independence and freedom that comes with it. Driving isn’t just about getting from A to B — it’s about confidence, responsibility, and unlocking new opportunities in life.

I teach manual.

Sit back, relax, breathe. See that my pedals will override yours. You cannot do anything wrong that I do not allow to happen, so don’t worry yourself, try to enjoy and you will learn!

You only fail if you give up. No matter what happens during your test, keep going and stay focused. Even if you think you’ve made a mistake, it might not be as bad as you believe – don’t let it throw you off.

One time I had a student named Danielle who had dyslexia and dyspraxia, she was with me for 20 months but passed first time on the day of her test. When everyone around her didn’t believe in her, she believed in herself. She was determined and had the will power to pass. This is the moment that stands out from the rest of many amazing memories.
