Looking for a driving instructor

Recommended Posts

Hi East Dulwich community,


My wife is looking to learn how to drive, but she's quite stressed out about the whole thing. Would any of you be able to recommend a driving instructor in the area who's kind and patient, and will be able to help her build her confidence at the wheel?


Many thanks,


Lucas

Hi Lucas,

I can highly recommend Silvano Bozza 07702615834, he had many recommendations on this forum. Few years ago I was in a similar situation, a woman over 40, never driven before, Silvano patiently taught me how to drive, passed from first time on manual. Good luck.

Hi Lucas,


I can recommend Nick Pauli, of Nicholas Driving Academy. I've been having lessons with him, unfortunately interrupted by the various lockdowns, for several months. I had lessons many years ago but never got near to being able to pass a test. I started again last year with Nick and very quickly we moved on from using his car with the dual controls to using our car - this means my confidence has really grown. He is very calm, knows how to keep the lessons relaxed but focused, and knows how to work with older (I'm well over 40), maybe anxious drivers. I'm hoping to take my test at the end of the year. I found him through this forum.


Nick's number is 07956 221 706

    • I appreciate you wanting to help Angelina, but at the moment, unfortunately, the nature of the help we need is slightly different. But you are so right. There is always two sides to one story, and at the moment me and my family's side is not really getting heard.  And for your information- mental health problems are very common among the general public and in my view nothing to be ashamed of, looked down on, or to be used to label someone. Having a mental health problem is simply the same thing as having a physical problem with your knee or chest. But it could explain certain behaviors and ways of experiencing your surroundings, which is why I needed to mention it in my post.  As I said, thank you for getting involved Angelina. Anyone else who have experienced something similar as me?  Any constructive suggestions? 
    • I used to go to Brockwell all the time, but with lockdown it changed from being able to stay all day sunbathing and swimming to a limited lane swim time slot for the same price. This totally changed the relaxed vibe. It's also incredibly difficult to book online. If this has changed back I'd love to know. I really miss how it was. I guess it was an easy way to make a lot more money! 
    • Yes.  It happens to a neighbour who has a van parked off Sydenham Hill quite a lot. It's because the fuel lines are easier to get to than cars.
    • I like the idea of a lido, provided it's accessible to all. I haven't been for a while now.   Do you have to book Brockwell lido in advance and or have they gone back to just queuing  to enter?  Are you able to stay for as long as you wish or are there time slots.  Do teenagers  have access to these spaces? I can't see them booking in advance and time restrains would  not work for them...particularly if its costly. The last time I went to the lido it seemed to lack the diversity that it once had.
