WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN AN INSTRUCTOR
As a learner driver, about to spend a considerable amount of time and money on lessons, you ought to be sure to receive the best possible tuition by a suitable, qualified instructor. Ask yourself these questions during the course:
A conscientious instructor will teach not only to pass the driving test, but pass on techniques for crash avoidance. An instructor who pushes too early for the driving test is not doing anyone a favour. Likewise, if an instructor advises against taking the test, trust his/her professional judgement.
- Is the vehicle in clean and sound condition?
- Does it have dual-controls?
- Is it air-conditioned (in Summer in Australia, a must)?
- Does the instructor appear well groomed and enthusiastic?
- Is the lesson time utilized for solid teaching, or time wasted?
- Does the instructor record progress and keep you informed?
- Is he/she using effective teaching techniques and/or visual aids?
If there is a personality clash between you and your instructor, find another one. The most experienced of instructors are only human. You will progress quicker, if you feel comfortable with your teacher.
