I am a qualified Driving Instructor (ADI) working under Belt Up Driving School. Based in Plymouth. I feel it’s important to teach new drivers to not only pass a test but become a safe and confident driver for life. We offer FREE access to Theory Test Pro to help all our students.
I am one of the youngest ADI’s currently in Plymouth. I feel I have a great relationship with all my students so far, with a friendly and approachable attitude. As we are similar in age, I’d like to think all of my students can look to me as not just an instructor, but a friend they can trust and talk to.
I drive a lovely Volkswagen Polo SE TSI 1L called Vinnie and he is a such a smooth car to drive. I can’t wait to see what the future holds with my time at Belt Up and look forward to meeting new drivers.
If you wish to book lessons with me please text 07445 970 819 and I will reply as soon as I can. 😁
First class A********
From the word go never felt pressure to get things done, nothing was ever an issue!!
Communication was second to none
Will be recommending belt up to anyone looking for lesson in the future
Thank you...
