Hi, I'm Kevin
I'm a successful driving instructor with 31 years of experience as a paramedic and frontline manager with the Scottish Ambulance Service.
My transition to driver training brings a unique emphasis on safety and quick decision-making.
Beyond teaching driving skills, my goal is to instil a strong sense of responsibility, shaping skilled drivers and fostering a culture of road safety.
Your Lessons
Lessons with me are all about personalised, hands-on learning. We'll tackle local roads, master manoeuvres, and build your confidence.
In a supportive environment, I prioritise your progress and ensure you enjoy the journey to becoming a safe, skilled and confident driver.
