About Diane

Hi, I'm Diane Ward. I've been teaching people to drive around Dundee, Carnoustie, and Arbroath for about 12 years now, and I still love it. I'm a DSA Approved Driving Instructor based in Carnoustie, and I've helped hundreds of learners get their licence, many on their first try. My aim is simple: to help you pass your test first time, because that's the most cost effective way to learn. I've been full time since 2014, and in my first year alone, 20 out of 25 pupils passed first time, with the rest passing second time. I focus on giving you the skills to drive safely and defensively, not just for the test, but for life. I know learning to drive can feel a bit daunting sometimes, but I'm here to keep things relaxed and positive. I'll work with you at your own pace, whether you're a complete beginner or need a refresher. I teach in a dual control car, so you're in safe hands, and I offer flexible payment options to make it easy. If you're looking for a friendly, experienced instructor in the Angus area, give me a shout.

Started learning with Diane in August and I have just passed first time with no minors. I'm absolutely over the moon and can't believe I did it after about 30 lessons. Diane has been a superstar!

Had a few lessons with another instructor but after switching to Diane everything just clicked. She was so patient with me and I cannot thank you enough. Kept me on track even when I thought about giving up, and now I've got my licence... brilliant!" JOHN PEEBLES - Arbroath

Hey Diane. Just wanted to say thank you so much for today. I loved being back in the car and you made me feel so at ease, even when I went wrong. I've got my excitement back 🙂 Thank you again, Sarah." SARAH - Car
