Richard Harper


Hi, my name is Richard Harper and I am a D.S.A fully qualified driving instructor. The qualification process to becoming an ADI is very lengthy and very demanding, and once qualified we are regularly given a "check test" by a senior examiner from the ADI to ensure our standards of tuition meet the criteria set out by the Driving Standards Agency. On my last CHECK TEST I was awarded a GRADE SIX (the highest grade possible). So you are assured the highest quality tuition.
I am 51 years of age and have held a full UK driving licence since I was 17. So apart from being a professional Driving Instructor, I have been driving for over 34 years. I have also taken three very demanding ADVANCED DRIVING TESTS, The I.A.M.R.O.S.P.A and the DIAMOND, so am very highly qualified driver.
I have been happily married to my wife Jane for 25 years and have 3 children - all boys. Paul is 21 and working at a local PEUGEOT garage as a motor technician. Gary is 20 and is currently doing a product design degree course at Nottingham Trent University. Andrew is 17 and is an apprentice plumber.
I taught both Paul and Gary to drive - both passed their tests at the first attempt. and I am currently teaching Andrew
I would describe myself as being very down to earth, extremely patient and have the ability to deal with most circumstances in a calm and controlled manner. As you can imagine, these are just a few of the basic qualifications needed to teach people how to drive.
I would also describe myself as being very punctual and am quite meticulous regarding time keeping. After all, driving lessons aren't exactly cheap... are they? If you are paying for an hour you expect to receive an hour - so if I'm ever late due to traffic, I'll add it on at the end.
I am a non-smoker, so you will learn to drive in a nice clean pleasant environment.

Remember..I will be teaching you how to "DRIVE FOR LIFE" and not just to pass your driving test
