Driver Trainer class one

  • As a former Driver Trainer and shunter, I've spent a good amount of time guiding learners through this exact manoeuvre, and I genuinely enjoyed the process of helping people develop their driving confidence and competence. It’s about breaking it down into manageable steps and building that muscle memory.

    We will focus on a systematic approach, utilising your mirrors effectively and understanding the vehicle's pivot points. The aim is for you to experience driving in reverse into a bay during this session, giving you practical application of what we discuss. My experience has shown me that hands-on practice is key to mastering this.
  • Engaged with clients to address needs and ensure positive experiences, fostering strong relationships and satisfaction.

Personal Information

Nationality: British

I am a dedicated and hardworking individual with a proven track record of reliability. I consistently arrive on time and can be counted on not to let the team down. I am committed to going the extra mile to ensure all tasks are completed to the highest standard.

Driving is my passion, and I have been a professional driver for the past decade. I particularly enjoy shunting work, as it keeps me actively engaged and busy.

I really enjoy spending quality time with my family, especially when we go on holiday together. I'm particularly looking forward to some bike riding with my son soon. In addition to that, I also find a lot of pleasure in going to the gym and swimming.
