Alma has six male driving instructors teaching manual and automatic lessons across Doncaster. Each has his own way of teaching, so tell us how you like to learn and we will suggest the right person.
Co-founder and manager of Alma. Loves driving and wants you to enjoy learning, not just get through it.
Read Alexandru's profile →Automatic ADI and former college teacher. Clear instructions, calm feedback and endless patience.
Read Alecsandru's profile →Manual instructor. Calm, patient and positive, and named again and again in our reviews.
Read Bogdan's profile →Patient and never judgemental. Takes time to explain why a mistake happened, so it doesn't happen twice.
Read Sergiu's profile →Calm, patient and approachable, with a soft spot for nervous learners. Football-mad dad of one.
Read FoFo's profile →Teaches you why, not just what, so the right decisions become second nature.
Read Nick's profile →Some learners ask for a male instructor because they have learned with one before and want to carry on in the same way. Others simply feel more at ease, or have a family preference. Plenty more do not mind either way and care far more about teaching style, such as whether they want an instructor who explains the reasoning behind every decision or one who keeps things light and chatty. Tell us what matters to you and we will match you with an instructor who fits.
All our male instructors are DBS checked, and most are DVSA approved driving instructors (ADIs). They teach in dual controlled, fully insured cars and work to the same lesson plans, so whoever you book with you are preparing for the same test.
Alexandru co-founded Alma and manages the school as well as teaching. Driving is a real passion for him and he wants lessons to be something you enjoy, with room for conversation in the car.
Alecsandru is an Approved Driving Instructor teaching automatic lessons. He has been driving for over 20 years and taught at a college before becoming an instructor, which shows in his clear instructions and steady feedback, particularly with younger learners.
Bogdan teaches manual lessons and is one of the names that comes up most in our Google reviews. Learners describe him as calm and patient, and he is good at rebuilding confidence after a bad experience elsewhere.
Sergiu has been driving for 15 years. When you make a mistake he will never shout; instead he works through why it happened, so it is less likely to happen again.
FoFo (Alexandru Fonoage) is calm, approachable and especially good with nervous learners, who never feel rushed in his car.
Nick focuses on understanding the road. He wants you to spot hazards early and to know the reason behind each decision you make.
If you want a licence that covers any car, manual lessons are the way to go, and Bogdan is one of the instructors who teaches them. If the clutch is putting you off, automatic lessons with Alecsandru take gear changes out of the picture so you can concentrate on observation and road position. Passing in an automatic gives you an automatic-only licence, which suits many people who only ever plan to drive one.
When you book, tell us which you would prefer and roughly where you live. We will let you know which instructors cover your area in that type of car, and when they have space.
Our male instructors cover the whole of our area, from Wheatley, Intake and Cantley to Bentley and Sprotbrough, and out to Hatfield, Tickhill and Adwick-le-Street. Every lesson starts and finishes wherever suits you, whether that is home, work, school or college.
Before test day we make sure you have driven the kind of roads you will meet around the Doncaster driving test centre on Shaw Wood Business Park, and a mock test shows you exactly where you stand.
Complete beginners start with beginner lessons on quiet streets. If you are anxious about driving, nervous driver lessons give you more time before busier roads. Refresher lessons help licence holders who have not driven for a while, and intensive courses suit learners working to a deadline. Once you have passed, motorway lessons and Pass Plus build confidence on faster roads.
