Many years ago, a sister of mine expressed an interest in learning to drive. Being a keen driver myself I thought teaching a learner driver would be fun. However, I didn't realise how unprepared I was. Some years later I took training myself and went on to become a professional driving instructor. I worked for a local driving school for a while, before taking further training and joining the British School of Motoring for a couple of years. When I decided to start up my own driving school, the family came to me for lessons. Things went according to plan this time because in the meantime someone had taught me how to teach. The Benefit of Experience With four decades years of experience, both as a driving instructor and driving examiner, I will help you to train a learner driver to be safe, confident and capable. With the help of this book, you will learn how to: · structure lessons · deliver driving instruction like a professional · avoid many of the pitfalls that amateur teachers fall into. The instructions are easy to follow and all tricky points are illustrated with clear diagrams. The book covers everything you need including: · basic car controls · use of mirrors & observations · approaching junctions & roundabouts · learning the manoeuvres · developing independence · preparing for the driving test. With a careful study of this book, you'll hopefully enjoy teaching a learner driver and improving your own skills; and as a result, your learner driver should pass first time! © UK Driving Skills – All Rights Reserved www.ukds.uk
