What qualities are important when choosing a driving instructor?

When choosing a driving instructor, it's essential to make sure they're DVSA-registered and have relevant experience to ensure they're reliable and full of the expertise needed to teach you to drive.

A good instructor should also have patience, adaptability in teaching styles, and excellent communication skills to make sure they're catering to the specific areas you need to focus on.

Additionally, consider their ability to remain calm under pressure, be punctual and reliable, and create a friendly, relaxed atmosphere during lessons. Recommendations from others and positive reviews, and the instructor's pass rate, can also help identify an instructor suited to your requirements.

How PassMeFast help with choosing a driving instructor

Knowing what to look for is great, but you should also be wary of negative qualities when it comes to choosing your driving instructor.

Unreliable instructors who cancel lessons frequently or arrive late may disrupt your learning. A lack of patience or professionalism can hinder your confidence and progress. Poor communication skills, rigid teaching methods, or a dismissive attitude toward your concerns are also red flags.

Luckily, PassMeFast simplifies the process of choosing a driving instructor by matching you with DVSA-registered professionals tailored to your needs and schedule.

FAQs

PassMeFast has one of the largest fleets of driving instructors across the UK. In fact, we work with over 5,000 of them! As you'd expect, this includes male and female instructors with both manual and automatic cars. Once you've booked your course, we'll send you a form asking for additional details. Here, you can indicate your location, transmission and other preferences. After we've received this, we'll get to work finding the best member of our fleet for the job!

It isn't recommended that you switch driving instructor part way through learning to drive — it can throw off your progress and will force a delay to your driving test. If you don't feel like you gel with your instructor straight away, give them a chance and get to know them before making any snap decisions. All our instructors are vetted by our experienced team, so you can rest assured that they are excellent teachers! Of course, if you have any major issues or really struggle to work with a particular instructor, we'll do everything in our power to connect you to a new one.

While we can’t always guarantee that you’ll get a particular instructor, we’ll always work to meet all of your requirements. Just let us know what you need when booking your course and we’ll talk you through all of your options.
