About Paul - More Than Just a Driving Instructor

 

Learning to drive is about more than clutch control and mirrors. It's about confidence, processing, anxiety, and feeling safe. That's where I'm different.

 

Before becoming a driving instructor, I spent 13 years in education and over 20 years working as a therapist. I hold a diploma in Understanding Autism and have vast experience supporting people with autism, ADHD, and AuDHD. It's also widely recognised that I am AuDHD myself.

 

So I don't just teach you to pass your test. I teach you in a way your brain actually learns.

I know what it's like when instructions come too fast, when anxiety spikes at a roundabout, when you need a minute to process, or when you've been told you're "not getting it" when you just needed it explained differently.

 

My car is a calm, low-pressure, no-shouting zone. We go at your pace. We break things down clearly, visually, and logically. No judgement, no rushing.

Whether you're a nervous first-time driver, an autistic or ADHD learner who has struggled with other instructors, or someone returning to driving after a long break, you're welcome here.

Welcoming learners of all backgrounds, abilities, and neurodivergent needs with equal respect.

Patience

Providing calm, supportive instruction suited to each student’s pace and comfort level.

Safety

Ensuring a secure learning environment to build confidence and responsible driving habits.
