About Jim

Jim Robinson runs Acorn School of Motoring, offering relaxed, structured driving lessons around Middlesbrough and Redcar. He uses a coaching-style approach, so you get plenty of encouragement along with the right amount of challenge to push you on. Lessons are shaped around what you need, with helpful extras like free access to Theory Test Pro, highway code materials, pupil handouts and realistic mock tests to get you ready for the real thing. Jim follows the ADI voluntary Code of Practice and aims to help you become a safe, confident driver using full-hour lessons and a clear, step-by-step plan. Acorn offers standard lessons, intensive courses and Pass Plus, and Jim will also sort your theory and practical test bookings at no extra cost. His pupils often mention his patience, calm manner and how quickly their confidence grows, especially if they're nervous or aiming for a first-time pass. By mixing solid on-road coaching with off-road study support, he helps learners get good value from every lesson and achieve strong pass rates across the local area.
