Looking for a driving instructor


ArchieCarlos

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

    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
    • I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.  
    • I see what you mean.  Perhaps the "alcohol licensing flyer for Tesco Express on the Poundland site" confirmed by the OP has been removed then.
