Choosing the right driving instructor can make the difference between an enjoyable learning experience and a stressful one. With thousands of instructors across the UK, how do you find the perfect match?
Check Their Qualifications
Every driving instructor in the UK must display a badge on their windscreen. A green badge means they are a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor (ADI). An orange/pink badge indicates a trainee instructor (PDI).
With My Driving Instructor, every instructor on our platform is verified—we check their ADI status so you do not have to.
Read Reviews and Compare
Word of mouth remains one of the best ways to find a good instructor. But gathering recommendations takes time. Our app brings together verified reviews from real learners, letting you compare instructors instantly.
Key things to look for:
- Patience and communication style
- Punctuality and reliability
- Pass rate
- Value for money
Consider Their Teaching Style
Everyone learns differently. Some people prefer a calm, patient approach, while others respond better to more direct instruction. Our app shows you detailed instructor profiles so you can find someone whose style matches your needs.
Check Practical Details
Before committing, you need to know:
- Lesson prices and block booking discounts
- Availability that fits your schedule
- Pickup locations they cover
- Car type—manual or automatic
