We do the chasing

From looking to learning.

One set of requirements. We check availability with our local instructors for you.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us what fits

    Your pickup address, manual or automatic lessons, free days and budget. Add any teaching support or instructor preference.

  2. Step 2

    We negotiate for you

    We contact suitable instructors in our vetted instructor network and negotiate the lesson price. On average, we find cheaper lesson rates for our learners.

  3. Step 3

    You choose whether to accept

    Your private search page shows confirmed lesson offers, with rates, dates and at least 24 hours to decide. Our fee is earned only when you accept. Declining closes your search with a full refund.

Finding your instructor locally

Find a Southwick instructor for lessons that fit your day

Local information checked 21 October 2026

We can match you with one of our vetted instructors for Southwick lessons, then check whether they can collect from your exact pickup point. Tell us which days and times work and whether you want manual or automatic tuition, so the offer reflects your routine.

Plan a useful start in Southwick

Southwick Square gives learners a familiar place to plan around. The council describes seating, planting and an open area used for markets and performances, so your instructor can help you practise looking out for people on foot and responding calmly when the centre is busy. Follow the signs in place and agree a stopping point that is safe and permitted.

If you live nearer Southern Cross or Portslade Village, include that when you request a pickup. We check coverage for the actual address rather than assuming that an instructor listed for Southwick can reach every nearby street. Lessons can then build from the roads and manoeuvres that suit your experience.

How we arrange the match

We contact suitable instructors in our vetted network, confirm pickup coverage, transmission, available dates and times, and the lesson price directly with them. We also negotiate the best available rate for your request. You see the instructor, price and terms before deciding, and any offer is held for at least 24 hours.

Search fee and paying for lessons

Pay the MyInstructorFinder search fee upfront: £9.99 for up to 10 requested hours or £19.99 for 11 or more, plus optional £25 Priority. We keep it only if you accept an offer. If no suitable offer is found by the agreed deadline or the final held offer expires unaccepted, we refund the full fee including Priority. Declining any offer closes the entire search and brings the same full refund.

Pay lesson fees directly to your instructor on the day of each lesson. No advance lesson payment or deposit is required through this service.
