Driving Skills For Life - Tuition System

Learning with Tim Sheeran Learner Driving Tuition follows a system where each lesson is planned with clearly defined aims and objectives. Driving for the first time might seem quite daunting, but don't worry, no-one's expecting you to drive off onto a busy road on your first lesson.

Because my driving lessons follow a Learner Driving Tuition System, this allows pupils to progress at a rate comfortable to them, only moving on to the next phase of tuition as their ability and skill levels develop, this in effect increases the confidence of the pupil leading to the increased ability to learn more effectively, thus speeding up the learning process.

Driving Skills For Life
Many driving schools structure their lessons around the basic principles of the driving test.
My teaching techniques aim to develop the skills necessary to drive safely for life. You will be coached to develop an understanding of how we need to look, think and plan to reduce risks whilst driving.

The average driver will only use around 20% concentration whilst driving.

Confidence in your driving will grow as your ability to plan and reduce risks whilst driving improves, the more confident we are, the less stressed and nervous we become, nerves are born from fear.

With the skills and knowledge necessary to drive confidently and independently of your instructor, passing the driving test becomes much easier and less stressful.

The tuition system is split into two phases:

Phase 1, deals with controls, learning road procedures, knowledge of the law, highway code rules and regulations and starting to gain some driving experience.

Phase 2, importantly, aims to develop the skills needed to become an expert driver, we can only start to develop these skills when we have a good understanding of car control, road procedures, regulations etc.

There is no reason why you can not begin to learn these techniques before taking your driving test, practicing these techniques can only improve your driving and increase your chances of passing your driving test.

You will learn how to:

• scan effectively to identify and anticipate hazards in the near, middle and far distance
• prioritise and plan both the approach and exit to any hazards
• constantly assess & plan your drive to reduce risks to yourself and others
• use an advanced driving system of car control IPSGA

Our Lesson System is made up of the following categories:

As each subject is completed the pupils knowledge and understanding of the subject will be tested with a series of questions, and their ability to demonstrate a competent drive assessed on the given subject.

A record of your progress will be made at the end of each lesson.

The course of lessons will also include basic car maintenance including how to fill up the car with petrol, check oil, coolant, washer and brake fluid levels.

You will also undergo mock driving tests at certain stages of your training.

Using modern psychology to reduce stress and nerves.
For the more nervous learner drivers and to help reduce the stress involved when taking the driving test, the use of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and TFT (Thought Field Therapy) can be used to great effect. >>more
