Many new drivers feel anxious about learning to drive, and at A Star Auto & Manual Driving School, we specialise in supporting nervous learners throughout Derby and surrounding areas. If you're feeling unsure or lacking confidence, you’re not alone—and we’re here to help you succeed.
Our team of experienced Derby driving instructors understands the challenges beginners face. Whether it’s fear of traffic, difficulty with clutch control, or general anxiety about driving, we provide patient, step-by-step coaching designed to make learning enjoyable. Our calm, supportive teaching style ensures you never feel rushed or judged. We move at your pace, helping you build confidence naturally.
We use modern, dual-controlled cars for both manual and automatic lessons, which means your instructor can take control whenever necessary. This makes early lessons feel safer and reduces stress—especially for first-time drivers. Our structured lessons introduce each skill gradually: starting, stopping, steering, junctions, roundabouts, parking techniques, and hazard perception.
Nervous learners also benefit from free theory test training, enabling you to prepare for the DVSA exam with confidence. Many of our anxious beginners have gone on to pass their driving test on the first attempt, contributing to our 85% first-time pass rate, one of the highest in Derbyshire.
What truly sets us apart is our unwavering support. From the moment you book your first lesson to the day you pass your test, our instructors provide encouragement, reassurance, and expert guidance. We’re proud to help nervous learners become confident, capable drivers who feel ready for independent driving.
If you’re looking for a gentle, understanding, and highly effective driving school for nervous learners in Derby, A Star is the perfect choice.
