What does he enjoy about being a driving instructor
"I have always enjoyed training people and love to see their progress. In my previous profession I trained and supported staff and found it to be a part of my role that I really enjoyed. Due to the recession in 2006/2007 I was made redundant, so I decided to retrain and put my skills to good use. Driving instruction was my first thought and clearly the right decision for me. It is extremely satisifying knowing that you have taught somebody a life skill, something that they are going to use for the rest of their lives."
Best moment as an instructor
"Everytime I have a pupil that gets to the point where they can drive independently, making good safe decisions, I know that we have achieved this together. The best moment is when your pupil passes their test. I never get tired of seeing their expression when the examiner tells them that they have passed - very satisfying!"
Any funny moments
Every person is an individual and we all learn at our own pace and with our own learning style. It is really iimportant that pupils enjoy thier learning experience and there have been so many things that have happended to make us both laugh during a lesson. Its difficult to pick out a particular moment as each pupil's journey' is unique."
"I did not enjoy driving until I started with No Gears. My No Gears instructor made me feel really comfortable and improved my confidence! I didn't think anyone would be able to teach me to drive but he did and made it a really enjoyable experience!"
"My No Gears instructor made me feel confident and i liked his approach to teaching. Other instructors were too strict but he was always calm and explained fully when i made an error. He made learning an enjoyable experience."
"Having had 3 different instructors many years ago and struggled, No Gears got me a pass and made me independent. My instructor was very patient and my lessons enjoyable."

Hobbies and Interests
"I enjoy spending time with the family as I have 3 boys aged between 15 and 25. As my wife works in Local Government, life can get a bit hectic for us at times so I enjoy taking our 3 dogs for walks, and my wife and I enjoy going to the cinema and theatre shows together. In fact music plays a big part in our family life as we can all play an instrument and my younger son plays a variety of string instruments and has just started to play the saxaphone. I also sing in a local band in my spare time."
What does he enjoy about being a driving instructor
"I worked for many years as driver for a firm of butchers delivering around the South Manchester and Cheshire area and have always really enjoyed driving and spending time with people. One of the great things about being a driving instructor is that you are not only helping pupils to develop a life skill but also allowing them to become more independent. Its a great feeling helping them to achieve their goals and I still get a great buzz when one of my pupils pass their test, even after all these years. Its also really nice when people remember you years later!"
Best moment as an instructor
"I taught a young lady with special needs some time ago and she had no confidence regarding driving a car and told me she didnt think she would ever pass a test, and if by some miracle she did, then it would probably take over 100 lessons. After a lot of hard work by both of us she did eventually pass her test and she did it in 45 lessons - quite an achievement! It was wonderful to see her so happy when the examiner told her that she had passed."
Any funny moments
"Over the years there have been a few funny moments, but the one that sticks out in my mind was when I was working for a different school teaching manual. The company gave me a new pupil in a dodgy part of Manchester and when I turned up I saw a young man stood outside his gate leaning against a fridge. When I spoke to him and confirmed that he had booked the lesson he asked me if I could do him a favour and put his fridge in the back of my car and drop it off during the lesson to his mates house! First of all I laughed but soon realised that he was being serious, so I politely declined. He never did have a lesson with me."
