Summary

I am an experienced ADI and Fleet Instructor with a professional, dedicated outlook to my work, believing passionately in road safety and driver training. I bring additional experience and kudos from my time as a police advanced driver. Being in the Metropolitan Police Force has helped me to develop very good interpersonal skills. Striving for personal improvement, I continually evaluate my delivery, seeking to improve my own knowledge and skills further within the driver training industry. I pride myself on establishing strong, professional rapports with my clients.
