Parents And Guardians Page

Welcome, and thank you for taking time to read this page, specifically designed with Parents and Guardians in mind.

My name is John, and I’m an ADI (DVSA Approved Driving Instructor), and the owner of JFM Driving Tuition.

The intention of this page is to hopefully answer some of the questions you may have, regarding the tuition of your loved one. But to also give you the opportunity to be actively involved, and support them on this exciting (but possibly nerve wracking) milestone in their life.

Some of the typical questions, that I have tried to answer are below, however this is not an exhaustive list , so if you have any questions or suggestions on what you like to see please feel free to contact me.
