For drivers who have not driven in a while

Perhaps you passed years ago and never kept it up. Perhaps a new job means a new commute, or you have moved to Southport and the roads are new to you.

Refresher lessons are one-to-one with Ian in the Mini, with dual controls on his side. Tell him what you want to work on when you call, and the lessons start from there.

How refresher lessons work

  • One-to-one in the Mini

    Just you and Ian, in a small, manoeuvrable car that is easy to get used to.

  • Dual controls for peace of mind

    Ian has dual controls on his side, so you can relax into it.

  • From your door

    Ian can pick you up from home or work.

  • Evenings and weekends

    Teaching hours are flexible and can include evenings and weekends.

I am a nervous driver! I had previously had a lot of lessons with another instructor who made me more nervous! Ian is nothing like that. He is patient, calm, understanding and pleasant to get along with during the lessons.
