About Russell

Russell Garner is a DSA registered Grade A driving instructor who runs Russell's Driving School, covering Brackley, Bicester and Banbury. He has a calm, patient manner and keeps lessons relaxed but focused. He uses structured tuition that suits each pupil, so you can learn at your own pace and in a way that makes sense to you. Russell teaches in a Kia Picanto GT-S and uses an in-car video system, so you can watch your drives back and really see how you're improving. He helps with theory and hazard perception as well as the practical side of driving, with the aim of turning you into a confident, safe driver, not just someone who can scrape through the test. You can choose Pay As You Go lessons, 1, 1.5 or 2 hour sessions, and there are discounts for 10-hour block bookings. Russell also offers Pass Plus, refresher lessons and motorway tuition. When you sign up you get a free student training pack, and he is flexible with pick-up and drop-off points. His testimonials often mention his patience, clear explanations and strong first-time pass record, especially with nervous learners who need someone calm and steady beside them.
