Tuition for each stage of driving
Patient automatic tuition that meets you where you are
Starting to drive can feel like a lot, especially if you're worried about traffic, tests or getting things wrong. We teach in automatic cars, so you can focus on steering, observation, speed and road position instead of clutch control and gear changes. With ACE Driving School, you get calm, patient tuition shaped around your pace, whether you're just starting, feeling nervous, preparing for a test or returning after time away.
We guide you through automatic lessons, beginner tuition, nervous-driver support, intensive courses, theory help, test coaching, refresher lessons and planned lesson packages.
Prices are competitive and start at £44 per hour then £220 for 5 hours or £430 for 10 hours.

John was a fantastic automatic driving instructor and I'm very glad I found him!
I'm 31 and had already had about 20 hours of lessons on and off many years prior, which John had no problem with. He was able to understand where I was at and adjust how to teach me from the get go.
I was always super comfortable in the car with him and he treated me like a good friend, always enjoyed our banters!!
He always had clear communication and reminders about lessons and if there was any issues (E.g. One time the car had broken down, a situation out of anyone's hands, but he let me know about the lesson delay right away)
I passed on my second practical, and I was both over the moon and sad to stop the lessons, but have so much to thank for boosting my confidence and always being so patient with me - fully recommend John! :)
