Driving School Owner:
Richard Tidswell
About Me
I’m a fully approved driving instructor with over 20 years of experience, offering professional, one-to-one driving lessons tailored to each learner. I specialise in beginner lessons, refresher sessions, test preparation, theory support, and helping nervous drivers build confidence on the road.
My lessons focus on developing safe, confident, and responsible drivers for life.
Before becoming an instructor, I served 22 years in the Royal Navy as a Submariner, bringing discipline, patience, and dedication to everything I do.
During The Lesson
I’ll provide as much support as you need during your lessons, using clear guidance and prompts to help you achieve a successful outcome.
The goal is to gradually transfer responsibility to you, building the skills and confidence needed for completely independent driving.
By following this structured approach, passing your practical test becomes a natural step
rather than a daunting challenge.
You’ll also receive helpful handouts
to reinforce what you’ve learned and support
your progress between lessons.
The Driving Test
By the time test day arrives,you will already have mastered independent driving — giving you greater confidence and significantly reducing nerves.
Based in Copley, I provide professional driving lessons across Halifax and the surrounding areas.
