What to expect from your tuition.
At Halfpenny School of Motoring, we know that learning to drive can be daunting. In many ways it can be a big change and a massive commitment. Some learners simply cant wait to get behind the wheel, they've been dreaming about it for months before their first lesson and on the other side of the fence, having nightmares before their first lesson.
Which ever side of the fence you are, were here to help!
What we offer!
1-1 Tuition
All sessions are 1-1 and tailored to your needs and requirements. At the beginning of each lesson we will work together to create a goal for your session to help you feel yourself progressing at your pace.
Mock Tests (With a difference)
Most people express how their nerves effect them on test day. To help put you at ease we have other DVSA approved driving instructors take on the roll of examiners for your mock tests. This can help get you used to being watched by individuals you've not driven with before. You will also know exactly what to expect on test day. This is of no extra cost to you!
Driving Simulation
Learning the controls of a car (especially manual) can and often does take time. To give you a head start we offer a top of the range driving simulator to help you develop the core skills even before you get in a real car. Worried about clutch control? Practice using the simulator and bring those newly learned skills to your first session.
Struggling to reverse your car into a bay? Practice using the simulator! The best thing about this, you have the simulator at your OWN home to use for as much as you like for 7 days!
Working towards independence
We help coach you towards driving independently so you can feel at ease when you get that pass certificate on the big day. When you're ready, the sessions will concentrate on driving for longer periods independently. One exercise we work towards is the "independent route plan". You will choose a destination of your choice and plan the entire drive from A to B and B to A! This will give you the confidence in your own ability to get around when you pass.
