With our proven Method, we'll guide you every step of the way, turning what feels like a mountain of challenges into an exciting, empowering journey.

Book Lesson

What to expect from your first lesson

Your first lesson is all about setting you up for success. We'll start with the basics in a calm, supportive environment, so you can ease into the driver's seat with confidence. Here's what you'll need to get started:

During your lesson, we'll cover:

  • Adjusting your seat, mirrors, and steering wheel for optimal control.
  • The fundamentals of starting, stopping, and steering.

Drive With Us Driving School offers both automatic and manual driving lessons to suit your preferences and driving goals. Our expert driving instructors will guide you through the process, ensuring you gain the skills and confidence needed to pass your driving test regardless of which transmission type you choose.

Manual car driving lessons

Manual Driving Lessons

For those who prefer greater control over their driving experience, manual driving lessons are an excellent choice. Learning to drive a manual car means mastering gear shifting and understanding the mechanics of the manual transmission.

Our manual driving instructors will teach you the necessary skills to drive a manual vehicle confidently. From foot off the clutch to moving the gear stick into first gear, we'll guide you through every aspect of driving a manual car, ensuring you gain full control over your vehicle.

Advantages of Manual Transmission

  • Better Control: Manual vehicles offer greater control over the car, especially in situations like hill starts and braking.
  • Fuel Efficiency: Manual cars tend to be more fuel-efficient, especially in older models.
  • Cost-Effective: Manual cars are typically cheaper to buy, maintain, and repair compared to automatic vehicles.
Book Lesson

Automatic Driving Lessons

Automatic driving lessons are perfect for those who prefer a simpler driving experience. With automatic transmission, you don't need to worry about operating the clutch or shifting gears, making it easier to focus on steering, braking, and traffic awareness.

Our automatic driving lessons are ideal for new drivers. Whether you're learning in an automatic car or simply want a more relaxed driving experience, our instructors will ensure you are fully prepared to drive an automatic vehicle with confidence.

Advantages of Automatic Transmission

  • Ease of Use: Automatic transmission allows you to drive without worrying about gear changes, making it simpler, especially in heavy traffic.
  • Convenience: With no clutch to manage, you can focus on steering and road conditions, perfect for urban driving.
  • Great for Beginners: Automatic cars are often easier to learn, making them a popular choice for those just starting out.
