Hi, I'm Dave
A friendly face, new to the area.
I've recently moved over from Blackpool and I'm now offering automatic driving lessons around Frodsham, Helsby, Kelsall and the surrounding villages.
I'm a DVSA-approved instructor with great reviews and a genuinely calm, patient way of teaching. Whether it's your very first lesson or you're coming back after a nervous start elsewhere, I'll meet you where you are and build your confidence from there.

Good to know
Your questions, answered.
Everything you might be wondering before that first lesson.
Do you only teach in an automatic?
Yes — all lessons are in a new automatic Kia Niro. No clutch, no gears and no stalling means there's less to think about, so most learners feel calmer and pick it up faster.
I'm really nervous about driving — is that ok?
Absolutely. Nervous and anxious learners are exactly who I love to teach. We go entirely at your pace with no pressure, building your confidence one step at a time.
Which areas do you cover?
Frodsham, Helsby and Kelsall, plus the surrounding villages — Kingsley, Norley, Cuddington, Sandiway, Weaverham, Mouldsworth, Manley, Alvanley and more. If you're nearby, just ask.
How many lessons will I need?
Everyone's different. The DVSA suggests around 45 hours on average, but we'll tailor it to you — and I'll always give honest guidance, never upselling lessons you don't need.
Do you help with the theory test?
Yes — I'll point you to the best resources and support you through the theory, so you're ready for both parts of getting your licence.
Can I take refresher lessons if I've already passed?
Of course. Refresher lessons are ideal if you passed a while ago, haven't driven in a while, or simply want to rebuild your confidence on the road.
How do I book, and what are your rates?
Message me on WhatsApp or give me a call and we'll have a quick chat about where you are and when suits. I'll let you know current lesson rates and any block-booking discounts.
