DRIVE WITH EMMA

SPECIALISING IN DISABLED DRIVER TRAINING

Since 2015 I have been specialising in training people with disabilities, mainly learning disabilities. I have undertaken training with QEF, Motability and DIA to improve my knowledge and skills in this area.

PASS PLUS

Pass Plus is a course designed to follow on from what people learn before taking their test.  It can help you to further develop your skills and a positive driving style which will help reduce your risk of being involved in an accident.

​

It is a course covering 6 modules, including motorway and night driving, and there is no test to take at the end, I assess your driving throughout and once you have reached the required standard you’ve passed!  There is a minimum of 6 hours tuition and anyone who passed their test with me will save £10.

FREE THEORY TEST TRAINING THROUGH DRIVING TEST SUCCESS

I am able to offer all my customers access to Driving Test Success to help you fully prepare for the multiple choice questions and hazard perception videos. I can monitor your progress and offer tailored support.

ABOUT ME

I am an independent, fully qualified Grade A Approved Driving Instructor based in Kingsteignton, South Devon.  I provide learner driver training, qualified driver training, am a Pass Plus registered instructor and am trained to teach people with various physical and learning disabilities.  I provide manual lessons in a diesel Ford Fiesta.  

​

I pride myself on a friendly and reliable service and will tailor lessons to the customer.  Everyone is an individual and I believe that their experience of learning to drive should be fun, interesting and unique.  I specialise in teaching those with disabilities and nervous drivers.  I will structure a learning programme unique to you and we work at your pace and work together to build your progress week on week.  I use the National Standards for driving as the basis and use these to ensure you are fully prepared not just to pass your test but for a lifetime of driving.

​

I offer free of charge theory test training through Driving Test Success to all my customers – just ask for more details.

​

I work most Saturdays and one evening during the week so am flexible and can usually work around your other commitments.  I cover Ashburton, Bovey Tracey, Chudleigh, Kingskerswell, Kingsteignton, Newton Abbot, Teignmouth, Torquay and surrounding villages.  I am also a member of the Driving Instructors Association and abide by their code of conduct.

​

I have experience of working with people with a variety of learning and physical disabilities and understand the implications this can have on learning to drive.  I am also trained to provide tuition in adapted vehicles for those with physical disabilities but I do not have an adapted car myself.  I can provide training in my vehicle if you have a physical disability that does not require any adaptations.  

​

Why not check out the rest of my website or give me a call or email for more information – if I don’t answer I’m probably on a lesson so leave me a message and I’ll call you back as soon as I can.  I am happy to meet face to face with no obligation to further discuss your requirements.  You can find reviews for me on Facebook and Google (search for Drive with Emma).
