Learning to drive an automatic car is an exciting step toward independence, and the foundations you build now will shape your entire driving future. Mike will guide you through every stage at a pace that suits you, helping you develop safe, confident habits from day one. With the right support early on, becoming a calm and capable driver, and passing your test, becomes far more achievable.
It’s completely normal to feel anxious about driving, many learners do. Mike specialises in working with nervous drivers, helping you relax, feel in control, and gradually rebuild your confidence in an automatic car.
With patience, reassurance, and structured support, you’ll soon discover that you can enjoy driving.
If you’ve already begun learning to drive and want to continue in an automatic, Mike will build on the skills you already have rather than taking you back to the beginning.
Our tailored weekly lessons and intensive options are designed to help you progress efficiently, save time, and move confidently toward your test.
Struggling to pass your driving test can be frustrating, but it doesn’t mean you’re not capable. Many learners simply haven’t been given the right guidance. Mike will listen to your experience, identify what’s been holding you back, and create a focused plan to strengthen your skills in an automatic car so you can finally achieve test success.
Even experienced drivers benefit from updating their skills, especially with the fast-paced changes in modern automatic cars and evolving road conditions. Whether you’ve had a break from driving or simply want to feel more confident, Mike’s refresher lessons will help you stay safe, capable, and fully in control every time you get behind the wheel.
