Your instructor
I’m Bill, an independent driving instructor based in South Shields, with over 11 years of experience helping learners become safe, confident and capable drivers.
Before becoming a driving instructor, I served in the military and worked as a taxi driver, gaining valuable experience on the road and working with people from all walks of life.
I understand that everyone learns differently, which is why I tailor each lesson to suit your confidence, ability and pace. Whether you're getting behind the wheel for the first time or looking to build on your existing skills, my aim is to make every lesson relaxed, supportive and enjoyable.
All lessons take place in a dual-controlled car, giving you the reassurance and confidence to learn in a safe environment.
