Experience & About Me
I worked for over 30 years in the global Transport Industry and was no longer finding my position either rewarding or challenging. Preferring to impart knowledge I decided it was time for a career change ! Years previous to this I had thought about training to be a driving instructor but it was the wrong time and after seeing what the training involved I wasn't sure I could even pass. Decision now made I started to do my homework, I managed to pass part 1 & 2 of the instructors exam but realised for part 3 I would need professional help and that's when I first became associated with Drive Johnsons who matched me with one of their ORDIT trainers and with his help and knowledge I passed my part 3 first time and haven't looked back since.
My Favourite Quote
“ ”Believe in yourself. You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you imagine.
Memorable Moment
Sorry this is two moments ! Passing my part 3 instructional ability driving test has got to be up there with completing my first marathon.
Likes
I really enjoy my job and helping pupils reach their goal of passing their driving test, knowing they have been taught safe driving skills for life. I also enjoy physical challenges and volunteering in sporting events.
Dislikes
Drivers that think honking the horn at learners will help then pull away quicker when infact it has the opposite effect. We were all learners once !!
