About me

About me
Hi I'm Huw, I am licensed by the DVSA to give driving instruction and I am passionate about road safety. I provide manual driving lessons in the Dearne Valley area of Yorkshire.

Before becoming a driving instructor, I became a peripatetic teacher of musical instruments in 1995, initially living in Elsecar and working in schools across the South Yorkshire region, so I have extensive knowledge of the roads in Rotherham, Sheffield, Doncaster and Barnsley.

I moved to Wath in 2009 and I’m married with two teenage lads - whilst I’m not originally from Yorkshire, my roots are now firmly in the Dearne Valley.

I decided to train to become a driving instructor because I wanted a job with real satisfaction and there is nothing better than seeing someone pass their test first time. I was also always being told by friends and work colleagues that I was a calm and relaxed type of person and that I would make a great Driving Instructor.

I am fortunate to be training with LDC using the latest adult coaching and training techniques so you can be assured the training I give will be of the highest standard.

I chose to work with LDC because everybody is different and the LD System allows for flexibility in lessons so that you learn to drive safely at a rate that suits you. I aim to make every lesson enjoyable and as productive as possible. The LD System just helps me to do this more effectively.

Lessons are always conducted in a calm, friendly and relaxed manner as I firmly believe in making pupils feel at ease during lessons.

I’m a former member of the Armed Forces, a fully qualified teacher & have been a musician for most of my life - in all of those roles, teamwork has been paramount. I will endeavour to work WITH you and ensure that YOUR aims are met.

My ethos is to “teach people to teach themselves” – building on the skills, knowledge and understanding that every student has, and helping them to adapt their actions to safely negotiate any situation they encounter.
