Our Approach to Driving Tuition

At NSSOM, we are committed to providing reliable driving tuition within a relaxed and friendly environment. Our lessons are carefully structured to maximise learning, and we ensure that each client's progress is consistently monitored and recorded. By doing so, we guide and encourage our clients to develop into good, safe, and competent drivers.

Supporting Mental Health and Wellbeing

We are particularly mindful of the mental health and wellbeing of young people. Recognising that some learners may experience stress, anxiety, fear, or panic during their driving journey, we implement tailored coping strategies to support those who may be affected. Our objective is to create a supportive atmosphere that helps all clients overcome challenges and build confidence behind the wheel.

WHAT OUR LEARNERS SAY

Testimonials

Steph_Shone_Mar_14.jpg

Nigel taught my three children to drive and they all passed on their first attempt within five months of their 17th birthdays.
Lessons were enjoyable as well as informative. Nigel helped them to quickly gain confidence on the road and the quality of teaching is reflected in the fact that the test examiner only gave them nine "minors" between the three of them.
It gives me great comfort to know that thanks to Nigel my children have been taught to be not only good drivers but safe drivers.

I would definitely recommend Nigel - he is excellent."
