I've been a driving instructor for 20 years, which means I've seen it all on the roads—and I've taught every type of driver you can imagine. Over the last two decades, my focus has always been the same: I don't just want you to pass your test; I want you to be a driver who keeps yourself and others safe for a lifetime. I am 100% committed to first time passes and keeping those great habits with you forever. When i am not on duty with the Driving Training Centre you might find me on call with the Young Drivers Association teaching 8-16 year olds at the Royal Highland Centre at Ingilston

I had a week left before my driving test, and Karine instantly assisted me and helped me find an instructor. Jez helped me pass my test on my first try because he’s a great teacher. I wouldn’t have known how to do the test without him. Recommend!
