Jim Foster

Jim Foster runs Notts Driving School, and he's a fully qualified Grade A instructor with a great reputation in Nottingham. He's been teaching for a while and gets a lot of his business from recommendations, which tells you something about how his students feel about him. If you learn with Jim, expect a patient, calm approach that puts you at ease. He's known for being professional and reliable, and he uses clever techniques to help with things like parallel parking. He doesn't shout or lose his temper, and he gives constructive feedback that focuses on what you did right before explaining where you went wrong. He's got a modern setup with a dual-control Kia Cee'd gt-line, a free lesson app to track your progress, and cameras in the car so you can review your driving afterwards. Jim teaches all sorts of people, from 17-year-olds to university students and older learners who might be nervous or need refresher lessons. He's happy to pick up from Nottingham or Trent University campuses and can fit lessons around your timetable. He doesn't just teach you to pass the test, he'll take you on drives to places like Newark to practice dual carriageways, so you feel ready for the road afterwards. He also offers motorway lessons, Pass Plus courses, and refresher sessions if you've lost confidence or have a foreign licence.
