James Cook driving course review! :)
“I passed my test 7 years ago and had hardly driven since. I felt like I needed refresher lessons and my Mum (who was having lessons herself) recommended Rob. I’m really glad I took her advice as after a day of intensive driving I feel confident enough to start driving on my own again. In summary I would recommend Rob to anyone who is looking to their regain their confidence or looking for an instructor to get them through their driving test. Thanks. :-).”

Dyspraxia : Driving Lessons
Just finished reading John Brown‘s latest book on dyspraxia relating to learning to drive. As always I found it beneficial, some parts reassured me and other parts challenged me – as it should be. The book is only 38 pages which actually was a relief as the book I read before was huge so it was quite nice to have a more condensed read! I’ve come away from the book feeling that I have a greater understanding of dyspraxia and how gradually to integrate that knowledge into my driving lessons where appropriate. I always find John’s approach very refreshing and ‘open’, resisting the need to label the pupil or provide ‘magic fix all solutions’ but to instead let the pupil lead the way through to success via their own learning abilities. This reassures me in terms of how I hope I approach things, although I don’t think I always get it right hence the desire to learn more. It is also reassuring to be able to potentially identify dyspraxia but not need to necessarily label it, instead to work through the inventive solutions at the pace of the pupil. I also find myself latching onto the idea of the pupil not being an imitation of their teacher, they will have their own style of driving and will not be a direct clone of their driving instructor. Highly recommended, I think I will pursue this into another book on dyspraxia and hope to gain more practical experience. This is yet one more catalyst to switch from teaching manual to automatic.
