Driving Lessons from a Grade A Instructor

Based in Chatham, providing driving lessons throughout Medway & Maidstone, my goal is simple – I help people.

No matter what your age, experience or ability level I will do my best to help you.

I believe driving lessons should be a fun and enjoyable experience, so my teaching style is calm, clear, friendly and constructive. A fully qualified and Grade A driving instructor, I’ll help you develop your skills and techniques to put you on the path to becoming a confident and safe driver.

Your driving lessons will be in a fully dual-controlled and manual Mercedes Benz vehicle; one of the safest cars on the road. My car also comes equipped with many features to assist you, including a reversing camera – handy for manoeuvres!

If you’re looking to arrange driving lessons for yourself, or a loved one, get in touch with me today.

You can either call me on 07882 865168 or email me at alan@staysafedrivingschool.co.uk

(it may be better to email me as I might be teaching when you call).

Are you incredibly anxious about learning to drive?

If you’re like many people, getting behind the wheel of a car can be a daunting prospect, causing fear and anxiousness. The thought of trying to control a car and dealing with other traffic like cars, buses and lorries etc. may even terrify you.

It’s people like yourself that I particularly love to provide help with driving lessons. I get great satisfaction from helping people get over the fear of driving and taking to the road. I will take you step by step, at your own pace, making your driving lessons as easy and as fun as possible. Whatever your age and experience, I’ll help to build your confidence as you go.

Does taking to the road excite you?

For some people, like myself, starting driving lessons and taking to the road was exciting and I couldn’t wait to drive. At 17, I was straight out there, driving at every opportunity I got. Driving lessons with my driving instructor, together with lots of private practice; it was a great experience.

If this is you, I will help you to cover all aspects of driving, developing your techniques and skills with the aim of putting you on a path to becoming a confident and safe driver.

Are you finding it challenging?

Perhaps you're already having driving lessons and it's not happening for you. Two or three different driving instructors or maybe a few test day failures. Something is not quite right. I have helped many in these situations. Most of my students pass their driving test at the first attempt.

Perhaps you would like to hear from others who I have helped? I have a range of client testimonials, so feel free to check them out on my Testimonials page.

Client Testimonials

I can wholeheartedly recommend Alan above any of the household driving schools. Yes, the lessons might cost that little bit more, but when you end up passing first time and those hours not having been wasted and you ending up needing to have more, it is money well spent.

Scott Goatham - Hoo

Learning to drive with Alan has meant that I am well prepared for a massive range of situations and I have learned so many techniques that will serve me well for driving in the future. He has a strong first-time pass rate and I am glad that I could benefit from that expertise. Cheers again.

Cameron - Gillingham

Alan was always on time, friendly, laid back throughout. Very professional and thorough. I already had a test booked so was on a deadline. He gave me a clear plan of what I needed to do and the time needed to do it.

Totally would recommend. Alan, thank you so much.

Peter W, Maidstone

I have driven on and off for some time but finally decided to take a test and get a licence. So I needed an instructor to sort out my bad habits and help me get ready for the test. A mate who had gone through the same told me about Alan. He was easy to get on with and and just showed me ways to make driving easier and safer. I didn't have many lessons and passed first time.

Thanks Alan, top man.

Darren, Maidstone

Brilliant instructor, really knows his stuff. I had a job offer and needed to relocate so needed to pass my test quickly. I was very nervous at the start but Alan is very calm and understanding and explains everything clearly. Lessons were always enjoyable and well structured, my confidence growing all the time. Passed first time. Can't thank him enough. Worth every penny. I would recommend Alan 100%

Sean Davies, Gillingham

Due to challenges with autism, my parents wanted me to learn in an automatic. I have difficulty with coordination and concentration and I get anxious. But I wanted to drive a manual car. I knew Alan and told him of my problems and asked if he could help me. He offered to take me for a driving lesson to get the feel of things. Right from the start, he made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Alan was always calm and patient. I really looked forward to my driving lessons. I would recommend Alan to anyone. He’s a great driving instructor and very reliable.

Fair prices for the quality of tuition provided

My price is £36 per hour – no gimmicks, just quality tuition with simple pricing.

Please be aware, when comparing prices, I am not offering the same level of tuition as most; therefore people spend less time and overall less money with me to have a greater chance of passing first time and ultimately becoming safer drivers.

Based in Chatham, I offer driving lessons to students across Medway and Maidstone, including Gillingham, Rochester, Rainham, Strood and Aylesford.
