About me
Hello my name is Steve Drury and I am a fully qualified Government Approved Driving Instructor (ADI). I can provide a range of driving lessons to suit your specific needs. These include weekly lessons lessons and up to a 30 hour semi-intensive or a One Week Course (note, you must have a driving test date that we can work towards). Also I can do Refresher lessons if; you've passed your driving test recently or several years ago, or your driving confidence is a little bit low. Whatever lessons you wish to do, the focus will always be on your improvement.
All our lessons use the unique LD System of driving tuition. This is an exciting way to learn to drive which will save you money by reducing the number of lessons/hours it takes to learn. The System focuses on specific tasks/skills and as it's a client led plan, you will be involved in the planning, and will know each time, what the next lesson will be, and be prepared for it. (So, there's no guesswork about what you'll be doing). All LDC driving schools share a common aim - to provide the highest and safest standards of tuition at the lowest overall cost. The key to the LD System is that it is continually up to date with the latest adult coaching and training techniques, so you can be assured the assistance received will be of the highest standard, with respect to the DVSA requirements. Note: you set the pace of learning.
As for my own education, I believe in being aware of and using best practices through continuous professional development (CPD). Courses completed in the last few years include 'Principles of Safeguarding and Protecting Children, Young People or Vulnerable Adults' (FAA Level 3 Award), 'Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Diploma', 'Applied Driver Behavior', 'Stress and the Learner', 'Driving Test Nerves Specialist'. Also I'm a regular at the annual DIA Conference, so staying in the loop on future Technology and Safety.
As a driving instructor you get a real buzz with helping learners to successfully pass their test and be a safe confident driver through the knowledge and experience they've gained. It’s a job that just keeps on giving.
Before becoming an instructor I used to train colleagues in an office environment. I’m proud to count the LDC amongst my unique and original set of companies that I’ve worked for; The British Museum, The Kennel Club, City College Brighton and Hove and British Rail.
So, I chose to work with LDC because they understand that everybody is different, and the LD System allows for this flexibility in the lessons. A Client Learning environment means the learner takes control, and he/she is able to drive safely and confidently at a rate that suits them. I aim to make every lesson enjoyable, informative and productive, and the LD System helps me to do this very effectively.
The key to the LD System (either via the workbook or the App) is that it's continually up to date with the latest adult coaching and training techniques, so you can be assured the training received will be of the highest standard, with respect to the DVSA requirements.
Lessons are always conducted in a calm, friendly and relaxed manner as it’s essential that pupils need to feel at ease, in order to learn new techniques and skills required to become a successful safe driver themselves.
As a family, we’ve been in Shoreham by Sea for a number of years, and our son has now moved onto Sixth Form College. We really enjoy being here as it’s a place with great vitality and there’s always something going on, be it high or low tide, sailing or flying.
As for me with time away from the car, I love cycling, and several years ago, I cycled the length of Spain on a cultural pilgrimage. My son and I support different football teams, so we have plenty to talk about! And occasionally I like to do photography.
Well I hope this gives you a brief idea about me. To note, modern instructors are not scary, they know the problems, the nervousness, and how to deal with them. As the roads are busy, Safety is very important. We're here to help you have a great life, where driving becomes a plus point and not just a necessity.
