About Me

Meet your driving instructor

Ady

Instructor

I live in Billingshurst with my wife and young family and have done for the last 5 years. As well as running my own driving school, I continue to work full time as a fire fighter.

Passing my driving test at 17, I have always had a passion for driving and have continued to develop my skills by completing advanced driving courses to qualify me to drive fire appliances to emergency incidents.

Having attended serious car accidents in my career I decided to become an ADI (Approved Driving Instructor), completing my training through a well-known franchise – to teach safe driving and hopefully reduce the chances of my students being involved in similar types of incidents.

First and foremost, I believe learning should be fun and relaxed. I use a client-centred approach which means listening to the client to find out how they like to learn. Being an independent driving school, I can tailor your needs without the constraints of a large franchise.

I teach in a 2018, Red manual Kia Cee’d GT Line. It’s a nice-looking car, that students find comfortable and easy to drive.

With working shifts in the fire brigade, I offer a very flexible diary when it comes to booking lessons. Weekly lessons are the norm, however should you wish to get your license quicker, multiple lessons per week / semi-intensive courses are an option.

See map for area’s I take students from. If you fall outside the area highlighted, please contact me to look at alternative arrangements.

Please look through my website and feel free to contact me with any further questions.

I look forward to teaching you, or someone you know some SAFE driving!

Testimonials

Don't just take my word for it, have a read of what some of my former pupils say about me

I passed my test first time with Ady! He’s brilliant and makes you feel at ease while learning. I couldn’t recommend him enough, for anyone who is looking for a self-assured knowledgable and trustworthy instructor!

Beth
Former pupil

I passed my test with the help of Ady. He was calm and funny in the car, and I never felt under any pressure just taking things at my pace. A very good teacher whom I could not recommend highly enough

Rhys
Former pupil

I was quite a nervous driver and having lessons with Ady was a massive confidence boost. Ady is very knowledgable, friendly and calm and having an instructor who was so confident in my driving ability was great

Ella
Former pupil

I can't praise Ady enough. I had tried my test a few times previously, with no success. After a few hours Ady had me sussed, can’t really ask for a better instructor. Friendly, reliable and has the patience of a saint. And the motivational skills to help anybody pass such a daunting task seem a breeze. You won't regret driving with Driving Solo

Marc
Former pupil

I thoroughly enjoyed my driving lessons, they were always very easy-going and I felt we got on really well. Ady's teaching approach was never at all patronising as I am aware some instructors can be, but in contrast really supportive and patient, which I feel definitely contributed to my overall confidence in a car, as well as me passing first time.
