I bring a wealth of experience gained over several years working with leading companies in the supercar driving experience industry. Throughout my career, I have played a key role in delivering premium, high-adrenaline driving events that allow individuals to take the wheel of world-class performance vehicles, including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Porsches. My responsibilities have included providing detailed pre-drive briefings, ensuring strict adherence to safety protocols, and tailoring each experience to match the skill level and comfort of the driver. I take pride in creating memorable, exhilarating, and safe driving experiences that blend excitement with expert guidance—helping clients build confidence and make the most of their time behind the wheel of these exceptional machines.

Expert Coaching-Based Driver Training – Farnham Driving School

At Farnham Driving School, we go beyond traditional instruction by using a coaching-led approach that transforms how people learn to drive. With a focus on personal growth, self-awareness, and performance, our method develops not just capable drivers but confident individuals ready for real-world driving challenges.

Led by an instructor with advanced coaching and instructor development experience, we specialise in creating an engaging, learner-centred environment. Our tailored coaching techniques support both learner drivers and aspiring driving instructors, helping each person unlock their full driving potential at their own pace.

What Makes Our Coaching Approach Unique?

Unlike conventional driver training, which often revolves around giving instructions and correcting mistakes, our coaching focuses on asking insightful questions, developing critical thinking, and encouraging self-reflection. This empowers learners to understand their actions, take ownership, and grow in confidence behind the wheel.

With years of experience in the industry, including advanced instructor training, performance coaching, and supercar instruction, I bring a high level of professionalism, empathy, and innovation to every lesson. My commitment is not just to teaching how to drive — it’s to coaching individuals to become independent, safe, and self-reliant drivers.

Skills That Set Farnham Driving School Apart

Here’s how my skillset directly enhances the coaching and learning experience:

1. Advanced Coaching for Driver Development

My background in driver coaching enables me to identify each learner’s unique strengths and challenges. I use proven coaching techniques to support learners through mindset shifts, helping them move from uncertainty to confidence. Lessons are structured with clear goals and reflections to ensure measurable progress.

2. Instructor Training & Mentorship

I train and mentor driving instructors through DVSA-approved ADI courses using coaching methods that develop both technical and teaching skills. Through personalised feedback, role-play, and self-assessment techniques, I help future instructors become thoughtful, student-focused professionals. This contributes to raising the national standard of driving education.

3. Supercar & High-Performance Vehicle Instruction

My experience working with performance cars such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Porsche allows me to teach advanced vehicle control skills. This enhances coaching for both everyday drivers and instructors by developing awareness, hazard perception, and handling skills at speed — giving a deeper understanding of vehicle dynamics and road safety.

4. Communication & Emotional Intelligence

Every learner is different. Some are nervous, others are overconfident, and many simply need encouragement. I tailor my communication style to each student, creating a calm, respectful space where learners feel safe to explore their abilities. Empathy, patience, and positive reinforcement are central to my coaching practice.

5. Goal-Oriented Learning with Feedback Loops

Using clear learning goals and structured feedback, I help students stay engaged and motivated. After each session, we discuss what went well, what could improve, and how to build on successes — making learning more meaningful and memorable.

Who Benefits From This Coaching Approach?

• New Learner Drivers: Especially those who feel anxious or overwhelmed, benefit from my calm and supportive coaching style.
• Experienced Learners: Those preparing for their practical driving test gain critical thinking and situational judgment skills.
• Instructor Trainees: Future driving instructors learn to use coaching themselves, preparing them for modern, learner-focused teaching.
• Drivers Returning After a Break: Those needing refresher courses benefit from my confidence-building methods and goal-oriented guidance.
• Performance Driving Students: I coach high-performance skills with an emphasis on responsibility, awareness, and precision driving.

Based in Farnham, Serving Ash, Aldershot, and Hampshire

Farnham Driving School offers coaching-based driver education across Farnham, Ash, Aldershot, and nearby areas in Surrey and Hampshire. Whether you’re taking your first driving lesson, preparing for a retest, or planning to become a driving instructor, I bring the same high standard of professionalism and coaching excellence to every session.

What to Expect in a Coaching Lesson

Each lesson is designed around you. We begin by setting your personal goals. As we drive, I prompt reflection through open questions such as:

• “What went well?”
• “What would you do differently next time?”
• “How did that feel?”
• “What were you thinking in that moment?”

By encouraging this reflective thinking, you build independent decision-making, which is crucial for passing the test and being safe on the road.

Become a Successful Driving Instructor with Coaching-Focused Training – Farnham Driving School

At Farnham Driving School, I offer specialist training for those who want to become qualified driving instructors or improve their existing teaching skills through a coaching-based, client-centred approach. My own journey into the driver training industry was shaped by a forward-thinking trainer who introduced me to the principles of Client Centred Learning — long before it became the recognised standard in the UK.

Today, learner-focused training and coaching techniques are not just optional; they are essential. As the DVSA has evolved its expectations, so has the driving instruction industry. Understanding how to support learners through coaching, rather than simply instructing, is now vital for success in ADI Part 3 and the Standards Check, as well as for producing safe, thoughtful, and independent drivers.

Drawing from my own experience of being trained in this way — and following several advanced coaching and instructor development courses — I am in an excellent position to support PDIs and ADIs at every stage of their journey.

Coaching-Based Instructor Training – A Modern Approach

If you’re training to become a driving instructor, your learning experience should reflect the standards you’ll be expected to uphold. I offer training that fully embraces the coaching model advocated by the DVSA. This includes helping you build the instructional and coaching skills that allow your pupils to take ownership of their development — which is key to long-term driver safety and success.

My instructor training focuses on:

• Client Centred Learning (CCL) principles
• Developing reflective practices
• Asking open questions that encourage pupil thinking
• Supporting learners in setting and achieving their own goals
• Building your confidence as a communicator, coach, and mentor

These techniques not only improve test results but produce better, safer drivers.

Support for PDIs – Tailored to Your Needs

For Potential Driving Instructors (PDIs) working towards passing the ADI Part 3 test, my coaching-based sessions offer structured, personalised support. Together, we’ll assess your current progress, identify development areas, and build a solid plan using realistic role-play, feedback analysis, and goal-setting methods.

We focus on:

• Understanding how the DVSA marking structure applies in real sessions
• Creating meaningful lesson plans with coaching objectives
• Improving question technique and active listening
• Managing risk and promoting pupil responsibility

Whether you’re just beginning your PDI journey or need focused help to pass Part 3, I provide a calm, supportive environment where you can develop the necessary skills at your own pace.

Standards Check Preparation for ADIs

For Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs), passing the Standards Check is essential to maintaining your licence and reputation. But it’s also a chance to evolve and improve your teaching methods. I offer practical, coach-led training to help you prepare for the Standards Check with confidence.

What you’ll gain:

• A clear understanding of the SC1 marking form
• Confidence in lesson planning that meets DVSA expectations
• Practice sessions with structured feedback
• Coaching strategies for real pupil engagement
• Risk management and fault identification training

Whether you’re facing your first Standards Check or aiming to improve after a previous attempt, I will work with you to build your skills, mindset, and readiness.

Advanced Coaching for Experienced Instructors

I also provide CPD coaching for ADIs looking to integrate modern coaching techniques into their everyday teaching. These sessions help qualified instructors deepen their understanding of how to empower learners through reflection, dialogue, and personal goal setting.

This is ideal for instructors who want to:

• Improve pass rates and pupil satisfaction
• Stay ahead of evolving industry standards
• Increase business reputation with client-focused instruction
• Gain confidence in coaching conversations and questioning skills

Advanced coaching skills can be a game-changer — especially for instructors who want to offer a premium learning experience that sets them apart in a competitive market.

A Flexible, Supportive Approach to Instructor Training

My training is flexible and completely tailored to your individual learning needs. Whether you’re preparing for Part 3, the Standards Check, or looking to advance your coaching ability, I’ll support you through one-to-one sessions, mock assessments, feedback reviews, and reflective development planning.

I work with instructors across Farnham, Ash, Aldershot, and the wider Hampshire and Surrey areas. Sessions can be booked at times that suit you, and remote support may also be available depending on your location and needs.

I helped and trained many ADI trainers to pass their ORDIT inspections.  The ORDIT is a voluntary scheme run by the Driver and Vehicle Standard Agency (DVSA).  

The purpose of Farnham Driving School’s ORDIT course is to equip the potential trainer with the appropriate knowledge and skills that will enable them to give quality tuition to those wanting to become a driving instructor.

A competency based modular syllabus is used that meets with the regulation and standards required for the Official Register of Driving Instructor Trainers (ORDIT) preparation.

I have taught many individuals with disabilities, as i have more patience and have many techniques that would help you. 

I helped many ADI's to pass their DVSA special test formally known as Cardington Special Test. 

Take the voluntary Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) special test if you’re an approved driving instructor or a fully qualified motorcycle instructor.

What is involved during the test?

The test will be conducted within the locality of the Driving Standards Agency [DSA] Training and Development Centre near Cardington in Bedfordshire. It will be conducted by a DSA Senior Staff Training Officer using the candidates own car. This can be a manual or automatic car.

Adapted vehicles are also suitable where a candidate has declared a physical disability. As with all driving tests, an interior mirror and head restraints must be fitted for both the driver and assessor. Candidates must be able to read a registration plate from a distance of 27.5 metres [67 feet] whilst wearing glasses or contact lenses if normally worn when driving.

The test will last for around 90 minutes on a route covering approximately 25 miles. It requires a very high standard of driving to be consistently displayed whilst driving on all types of road, including a motorway and a variety of road situations.

Candidates must be able to demonstrate a positive, courteous attitude and the ability to control the position and speed of the vehicle, safely, systematically and smoothly. A high consistent driving competence based on concentration, effective observation, anticipation and planning is expected. In particular you must demonstrate.
