Diana in their own words

I left my office job looking for a change and ended up falling in love with teaching. Now I teach automatic-only lessons in Doncaster that are calm, stress-free and built around you.

I genuinely love people, and every student is different. That's what makes this job special. A busy mum used to rushing everywhere? I'll gently remind her that in traffic, we simply can't. A nervous first-timer? We take it slow and build confidence step by step.

Our lessons will feel less like a classroom and more like driving with a friend. Expect real conversations, zero pressure and lots of encouragement. Fair warning: I'll probably try to make you laugh with my sarcastic sense of humour. But I always read the room, and I know when it's time to focus on the road.

And when you pass? I'll probably be more emotional than your own mum. I might even cry. In a cool way, obviously.

What my students say

★★★★★
“I passed with zero faults!” I can't thank Diana enough. Thanks to her guidance, I passed with zero faults, something I never imagined when I first started. She was patient, calm and professional from the very first lesson, and she explained everything clearly and helped ease my nerves.
★★★★★
“I'm already missing our chats!” I passed first time! I was a nervous learner, but Diana put me at ease right away. She was always kind and encouraging, and had a way of explaining things that gave me the skills and the confidence to pass.

From Google reviews

“I never thought I’d learn how to drive, but after only 8 months of lessons I managed to pass first time with only 2 minors. Diana was always so patient, understanding and always knew what to say to help calm me down, reassure me and get me back on track. She always made sure that she saved a suitable lesson time around my kids. …”

How lessons with Diana work

Diana picks you up from home, college or work anywhere we cover in Doncaster, in a dual-controlled car. Lessons last 1.5 or 2 hours, and Alma offers evening and weekend lessons as well as daytime slots, so ask about Diana's current availability when you get in touch.

Your first lesson starts wherever you are up to. Complete beginners start on quiet streets. If you have driven before, the lesson starts with a short drive so Diana can see what to work on next. Before your test, a mock driving test shows you exactly where you stand.

Very supportive and patient which as a nervous learner was very much appreciated!”Fran B., Google review
