Why choose me?
I think the first way you should choose an instructor is by positive word of mouth. That’s how I get approximately 80% of my pupils. Other than that, doing a bit of research (as you are doing now!) is the next best.
I think you should choose me because I coach. I don’t tell, I don’t admonish, I don’t push book after book in your face. I give you as many real situations as I can, and help give you the skills to deal with it, so you can be responsible for your own actions when it really matters.
I feel my 1st time pass rates prove my methods work, as they are over 20% higher than both the national average and local test centre average.
Below are some of my thoughts and reasons why I coach. They are similar to some well renowned experts (as shown in quotation marks.
Coaching teaches in a kinaesthetic way:
“I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand” (Confucius
Chinese philosopher & reformer (551 BC - 479 BC))
- “The quality of a person’s receptivity to experience or information received occurs in real time though all senses; sight, hearing, touch, kinaesthetic, emotional and mental”. (Sir John Whitmore - ADI News Feb 10’)
- Coaching helps better to bridge the gap of what the pupil already knows to the skill being learned. Being TOLD what to do generally doesn’t work.
- Coaching increases the awareness of a situation to a learner, by utilising existing knowledge with sight, feel, and feedback from the instructor and other road users.
- Coaching ultimately helps information to be absorbed, and be more receptive to the skill at hand. This leads to a faster, more accurate and safer response.
- Mentoring builds empathy with other road users. It also helps in understanding and anticipating what other road users will do.
- Coaching and Mentoring builds a self reliance and responsibility. Instructing or telling a pupil only builds a reliance on the instructor. (Sir John Whitmore - ADI News Feb 10’)
- Continuously making informed decisions as opposed to indiscriminately obeying instruction makes a pupil better equipped when they are on their own.
- Getting ‘beneath the skin’ of an over-confident learner, and mentoring them on an equal basis in a none judgemental and trusting environment could lead to safer driver, and ultimately lower accident rates.
“Teaching someone to drive is an organic skill that evolves over time using appropriate methods to produce the best results” (John Brown - ADI NEWS Feb 10’)
