Jez Huxtable

DVSA approved, 20+ yrs, Manual
Edinburgh, Musselburgh, Dunbar, East Lothian, East Linton, Haddington

Check availability with Jez

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

MARCIN STEJER

DVSA approved, 14+ yrs, Automatic
Currie, Edinburgh, Musselburgh, Livingston, West Lothian

Check availability with MARCIN

I've been a driving instructor for 14 years, and I genuinely love what I do. As an approved instructor specialising in automatic transmission cars, I take the complexity of gears and clutch out of the picture so you can focus on the road ahead—and on building the habits that keep you safe. I believe confidence isn't just something you earn from passing your test; it has to be built, patiently and deliberately, one lesson at a time. My students often tell me that I've helped them go from nervous first-timers to self-assured, safety-conscious drivers, and that means the world to me. If you're looking for an instructor who cares as much about your confidence as I do about your safety, I'd love to work with you.

“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!”

Driving lessons in Longniddry

Driving lessons in Longniddry should fit the journeys you want to make, not just the test you want to pass. Tell The DTC your starting postcode, experience and transmission preference so we can check local instructor availability.

Agree the address, not just the village. Send the street and postcode for your pickup, especially if you are arranging lessons around a move. If you need to finish elsewhere in East Lothian, mention that before booking so the instructor can check the return journey and next appointment.

Do not squeeze test-centre practice into a short gap. If your booked test is outside Longniddry, discuss the travel time before choosing a lesson length. A session needs to leave time for practice and feedback as well as getting home; the test centre shown below is not automatically the best choice for your circumstances.
