Driving lessons can be nerve-wracking enough without a scary instructor breathing down your neck. Whether you’re seeking your first instructor or you’re still on the lookout for an instructor who you gel with, here at Nayland we understand the need for patience and excellent communication above all else – working to partner with the highest skilled and most personable instructors in Essex.
So, if you’re looking to book Colchester driving lessons for yourself or a loved one, here are some of the qualities to look for in a good driving instructor – as shared and selected by our own pool of qualified driving trainers.
Consistency
Perhaps one of the most important factors that we seek to deliver to every pupil at the Nayland Driving School is consistency across every lesson. What that means is that when you book your lessons with us, you will always have the same driving instructor for each lesson, enabling you to build a repertoire with the trainer and get to know each other’s communication habits and quirks.
Driving is a very personal experience and while there are set methods for instructing beginner drivers, the more time you spend behind the wheel of a car, the more you will develop your own ways of remembering certain signals and manoeuvres. Having a consistent instructor for every lesson will make this easy – not to mention it will save time learning each other’s names!
Patience And Versatility
A good driving instructor is patient and versatile in the way they instruct and interact with different pupils. With such a wide range of courses available, including lessons for manual and automatic vehicles as well as intensive driving courses and standard driving courses, our instructors are all incredibly versatile in the way that they teach.
Patience is a critical skill – whether a pupil needs reminding for a third time about where a certain signal is on the steering wheel or needs an instruction repeating a few times in order for it to sink in.
Up To Date With Regulations And Test Features
This is a big one and is one that we herald here at Nayland Driving School. All our driving instructors undergo in-house training and always have access to extensive resources, meaning that they are able to keep on top of any regulatory changes to the highway code, driving practice, or driving test features.
The complexity of driving tests means that test outlines are constantly changing to include new specifications and terminology – with our trainers and instructors needing to be ahead of this information to ensure that all pupils go into their test fully prepared and well-versed in the correct terms to use.
