My name's Nicola, and I run an LDC franchise principally covering the Ellesmere Port and Chester areas.

I established Nicola's Driving School in early 2008, and in doing so realised a long term ambition to run my own driving school. Since then, pupil numbers have been increasing and it’s been great to see them develop in confidence and ability during their lessons with me.

I am very patient with my pupils, and believe it is important to plan lessons around individual pupils needs so that I do not place them in situations which will cause unnecessary stress or worry - after all, learning to drive should be an enjoyable experience.

In order that pupils get the most out of their lessons, I am committed to:

		ensure pupils receive high quality tuition;
		ensure that lessons are tailored to individual pupils needs, and do not conform to a "one lessons suits all" principle;
		ensure that lessons are enjoyable to assist in the learning process;
		building up pupils confidence to ensure they have the skills required after they've passed their driving test.

When I’m not out teaching people to drive, my hobbies include sailing, camping, mountain biking, playing snooker and attending the footy…so if you’re an Aston Villa supporter, we’ll get on just fine!
