How many should I have a week???

Everybody has different needs, and Alice can provide you with as little or as many lessons you require.

Some of Alice’s pupils have 1 hour a week, some have 2, and some have 6!!

The main factor is what’s going to work best for you.

Most people learning to drive from scratch require between 30 and 40 lessons.

However this is only a guide and will depend on various factors including previous experience and how much private practice you can do outside your lessons.

semi-intensive courses

These are aimed at people who want to learn quickly or in a short space of time. They are tailor made to each individual. Alice can offer you a variety of courses to suit your needs, with up to 2 hours of tuition a day. (Any longer and concentration starts to go!)
