The Teacher - Professional Driver Training in London
Authorative Teaching through Knowledge and Experience
Alan Pontet ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) is fully licensed by the Driving Standards Agency to conduct driver training in Category B vehicles (cars).
Alan has been driving since 1973, gaining 18 years of commercial experience before qualifying as an instructor during 1991, when he moved to Raynes Park (SW20), and where he has lived and taught ever since, accumulating knowledge and experience of the local road network and infrastructure.
Alan is 'saintly' patient, well spoken, and does not smoke or drink. He is also a signatory to the DSA Code of Conduct, which is about the behaviour of the instructor towards the pupils.
Since Alan lives and works in the same area, he does not take his meals in the car - as some do, and which is unprofessional and can be unpleasant for the pupil.
Nor does he use 'piggy-backing' - getting the next pupil to drive the previous one home.
Sunday is his day off but, Alan is otherwise available between Monday and Saturday, and offers flexible booking arrangements, including some evening appointments.
