Driving Lessons for Beginners

Feeling nervous about getting behind the wheel for the first time? We’re here to help.

If you’ve never sat in the driver’s seat before, it’s completely normal to feel a bit overwhelmed. But don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Our experienced instructors understand the anxiety that can come with your first driving lesson, and they’re here to guide you every step of the way.

To ease you into the process, your instructor will start by driving you to a quiet area where you can learn at your own pace. They’ll walk you through each step, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident. Plus, all of our cars are equipped with dual controls, so your safety is always our top priority.

In a manual car you’ll need to learn how and when to change gear. You’ll be taught how to use the gears and what to listen for to know when they need changing.

Part Trained Driving Lessons

We'll assess you then customise a plan to meet your specific needs.

Not everyone who comes to us has driven before, you might be thinking about switching instructors, returning after a break, or moving on from lessons with friends or family to professional training, whatever the reason, we’re ready to help you progress.

We’ll begin with an assessment lesson to determine where you are in your learning journey, and from there, we’ll customise a plan to meet your specific needs. Whatever your reason for joining us, we’re committed to supporting you every step of the way.

Driving Test Rescue

Did your driving test not go as expected? The Driving Genie is here to help you succeed.

At The Driving Genie, our priority is to ensure that you become a safe and confident driver. We don't offer last-minute car rentals for tests; instead, we provide the necessary tools and guidance through structured lessons. By focusing on safety and preparedness, passing your test becomes a natural outcome.

To start, we’ll review your test sheet to identify any areas that need improvement. We’ll then conduct an assessment lesson to determine if the issue was a matter of nerves or if additional practice is required. Based on this, we’ll create a personalised lesson plan that is tailored to your needs. With our Driving Instructors’ proven track record, we’re confident that we can help you achieve success on your next attempt.
