Lessons For The Beginner
I am delighted to have the opportunity to teach people who have had no driving experience whatsoever.
The novice comes as a blank canvas, all ready to have a great experience as a driver.
With these students it starts great and just gets better as they learn basic skills and are taught how everything all works together, not only to pilot the vehicle, but to apply all the rules that were absorbed to attain their Learners Licence.
Each lesson will build upon the previous and in a short time, the student will have mastered advanced skills and are looking forward to the opportunity to sit and pass the Restricted Licence Test.
Anybody can come and have lessons, and their education can be accelerated from whatever point they start from when they begin lesson with me.
Sometimes students come to learn and have preconceived ideas or have some experience that may stand in the way of learning Driving Best Practice. These things may be bad experiences, frights or the despair that come from finding failure.
I am well versed in remedying and replacing failure with success brought about by good method that is able to be repeated time and time again.
