Gill
Learning to drive was always a skill I wanted to learn, particularly as I grow up in Cornwall and getting anywhere was not easy on public transport!
I worked in education for 18 years before looking for a career change. Working in both primary and secondary settings, primarily teaching PE
Lessons with me are calm, structured and encouraging to help every learner build confidence behind the wheel. Whether you’re a nervous beginner, returning driver or preparing for a test, I’ll help you develop safe habits and the confidence to drive independently.
I’m also an avid runner, with a EA Run Leader qualification, and a keen hockey player.
Pete
Pete first drove aged 12 on a family friend’s farm in a Land Rover — a moment that sparked a lifelong passion for cars and driving. Out of work he still enjoys driving a Land Rover.
For 22 years he worked in schools in Premises Management, spending the last 16 years at Notre Dame High School where he ensured the safety of staff, pupils and visitors across the site. That commitment to safety is central to the work as a qualified driving instructor. He always says “I take pride in teaching new drivers how to be safe and survive on the road.”
Outside of work, Pete has been a church bellringer since he was 14 and all his adult life he has taught many people to handle a bell and taught various stages in the art of Change Ringing. In sport he is a Level 2 cricket coach, an EA Run Leader and an experienced VI guide. You will always find him at a parkrun on a Saturday. Pete enjoys most sports and is an avid Nottingham Forest supporter.
