ABOUT YOUR DRIVING INSTRUCTOR

Diagnosed with ADHD
as an adult

Hi, I'm Rachael. Learning to drive can be exciting, but it can also feel really overwhelming. Whether you're nervous, excited, lacking confidence, or simply need a little more time, I'm here to help.

I have a particular interest in supporting nervous, anxious and neurodivergent learners, while welcoming students of all ages, abilities and experience levels. As someone diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, I understand that sometimes you need things explained differently, a little extra time to process information, or simply a safe space to ask questions without feeling silly.

I believe there's no one-size-fits-all approach to learning. With a background in training and education, I've always loved helping people learn, build confidence and realise they're capable of more than they thought. I take the time to understand what works for you and create a calm, supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace without judgement.

When I'm not teaching, I'm usually busy being mum to my two small kids. I'm also a huge Disney Parks fan. Probably a little more obsessed than I should admit! I've visited Disney Parks around the world, some more than once, with Shanghai last on the bucket list. I love to travel, being creative and finding the fun in the little things, and I think that probably sums up my approach to teaching too.

How lessons with me work

Everyone learns differently, so I take the time to understand what works for you.

01

We start where you're comfortable

Your first lesson might simply be about getting comfortable in the car and understanding how everything works. There's no pressure to do more than you're ready for.

02

Build skills, confidence and independence

From there we gradually build your skills at your own pace. And mistakes? They're completely okay! They're part of learning. My job is to help you understand what happened, work through it and have another go, without making you feel defeated. I teach in my Haval Jolion Hybrid, a comfortable and modern learning environment.

03

Safe and capable, not just test-ready

For me, passing the test is only part of the journey. I want you to finish your lessons feeling safe, capable and genuinely confident behind the wheel, not just confident enough to pass a test.
