WE'VE WON!

All I can say is wow and thank you for everyone that voted for me.

It was incredible to have been shortlisted in the top 7 instructors in London but to have won it is mind blowing.

I promise that this year I will work as harder then ever before to get you safe on the roads, qualified to teach or competitive on the track.

Thank you all again and I’ll see you all soon.

I have been an instructor since 2006 and have had a very high pass rate while producing safe drivers.

You will be using the Abarth or Fiat 500 convertibles with reverse sensors, air conditioning and front and rear dash cameras.

I averaged 28.6 hours from never driven before to passing in 2019, with my quickest being 12.5 hours! The national average is 45 hours of professional instruction with 22 hours with a family member.

I have achieved this by adapting the techniques used to the client's needs (Client Centred Learning), PowerPoint productions, and YouTube videos that are sent to you to revise so that you can jump straight in without needing to waste time talking!

At Numero Uno, you can rest assured that you will always receive only the highest quality of instruction.

We will NEVER have another student in the car,

We will NEVER answer the phone in your lessons,

We will NEVER cut your lesson short.

We DO NOT charge additional fees for test day.

Our students, on average, spend £1029.60 (30-hour block). Compared to the national average of £32 per hour x 45 hours = £1440. Plus, the additional 22 hours with a family member or friend.

In short we WILL save you money while making you a safe and capable driver. Guaranteed

The Pass Plus course is a great course to help you advance your driving skills as well as getting you cheaper insurance when you get your own car.

As a Numero Uno customer (starlet), we would have covered all the subjects in your driving lessons but we will further your skills with techniques used to train advanced drivers.

If you were not a Numero Uno customer but want to do your Pass Plus course, do not worry. We WILL still turn you in to the driver that we turn our starlets in to.

You will be taught everything that the Pass Plus course teaches as well as extra advise and tips which are used in advanced driving courses.

So what are you waiting for?

Send us a message, and we'll get you booked in.

We can teach clients with various physical disabilities in our adapted Toyota C-HR. Our car is by far the most user-friendly and adaptable driving school vehicle in London! It is easy to get in and out due to the height and door length. And if required, we have a Car Cane which makes entering and exiting easier.

We will put your wheelchair in the boot if needed too.

It has been fitted with:

Jeff Gosling Hand controls with indicator switch

Jeff Gosling Left foot Accelerator

Jeff Gosling Steering Wheel ball

Lodgesons Lollypop 13 Switch

Panoramic Mirrors

Car Cane for making getting in and out easier.

You may be entitled to funding from Motability for which you must apply directly through them.

Familiarisation Tuition

If you are using an adapted vehicle for the first time, it is very important that somebody can take control from the passenger side for safety. Using alternative control methods takes time and having an instructor with dual controls will hall you build confidence.

Motability advises that you take 6 hours to get used to hand-controls, and 10 hours for the Left Foot Accelerator. You may also be entitled to funding from Motability. To find out, call 0300 456 4566 and speak to the operations team. And make sure you take note of the persons name, And that you have your CRN number.

If you want a career change or a part-time job that you will genuinely enjoy, look no further.

I stumbled into this profession by chance, and I have never looked back and thoroughly enjoy every day. The rewards of seeing your students pass and seeing them on the road is fantastic.
