My name is Alex and I'm an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) living in Irvine, North Ayrshire. I have been driving for 26 years, have held a full motorcycle licence for 24 years and perviously held an ACU Motorcycle Racing Licence and competed in bike races across the UK (I even won a trophy or two!).  

In my working life, I have spent over 16 years working with people with Special Educational Needs, and 6 years as a youth worker. As a youth worker, I was a marine engineering instructor for the Marine Society and Sea Cadets. During this time I trained over 1000 young people in marine engineering and basic navigation at sea. 

After a brief spell in the Merchant Navy I decided it was time to settle down while continuing working with people to help them fulfil their potential. 

After training to become a driving instructor in Glasow, I moved to Irvine and founded Independent Driver Coaching. 

I believe that learning to drive should be an enjoyable experience centred around the learner- you!
