Discuss the support you needWhat we can work on together
-
Understanding your starting point Review the training you’ve completed, the challenges you’re facing and any assessment feedback. Agree priorities based on your needs.
-
Making lessons purposeful Develop your ability to identify pupil needs, set appropriate goals and adapt the lesson when circumstances change.
-
Managing risk and responsibility Work on recognising developing risk, agreeing responsibilities and choosing when and how to intervene.
-
Teaching, feedback and reflection Practise explanations and questions that support understanding, then review the effect of your teaching and identify what to improve.
Support while on a trainee licence
If you’re following the trainee-licence route, support is also available at £45 per hour, paid as you go. Tell us about your existing arrangements and deadlines so we can discuss suitable help.
Agree the details before booking
We’ll confirm the meeting point, session length, vehicle arrangements and any separate costs before you attend. DVSA test fees and separately purchased study materials are not included in the hourly rate.
The amount of training needed depends on your starting point and progress. We’ll give honest feedback without promising a pass or a fixed number of sessions.
Recognise where you need support
Feeling stuck? Let’s understand why.
You may have invested considerable time and money in becoming an instructor, yet still feel uncertain about delivering a lesson. Or you may understand the assessment feedback but struggle to turn it into changes in your teaching.
Rescue training gives us an opportunity to examine those difficulties together. We’ll recognise the skills you already have and focus on the areas that need further development.
Needing more support doesn’t erase your progress. The starting point is an honest discussion about what is working and what needs attention.
-
You’ve received feedback after a Part 3 attempt
Work through the report and connect the feedback with practical changes to lesson planning, risk management and teaching.
-
Your preparation feels incomplete
Identify gaps in your understanding or practical skills, rather than relying on having completed a particular number of training hours.
-
You’re relying heavily on scripts or routines
Develop your ability to respond to the pupil and the situation, including when a lesson needs to take a different direction.
-
You want clearer feedback on your lesson delivery
Explore why you make particular teaching decisions, their effect on learning and safety, and what you could do differently.
A considered approach to your development
Review. Practise. Understand the difference.
The aim is to help you understand your teaching, rather than simply give you another set of instructions to remember. We’ll agree what to work on and review how it affects your lesson delivery.
-
Share your background
Tell us which stages you’ve completed, the training you’ve received and what feels difficult. Include any assessment reports, existing bookings and relevant deadlines so we can discuss your situation.
-
Work on agreed priorities
Use one-to-one sessions to explore the areas that need attention. Practise making teaching decisions, adapting to pupil needs and explaining why you’ve chosen a particular approach.
-
Review and plan your next steps
Discuss what improved, what still needs development and how to continue practising. Further sessions are agreed around your progress, availability and the support you need.
Your progress guides the training. We’ll give clear feedback on development needs. The number of sessions required varies, and neither a pass nor a particular test date can be guaranteed.

Feedback on Jon’s Part 3 training
Jon has been an excellent ADI Part 3 trainer. His input has been viable in learning the skills required to pass the exam.
The training was well structured and easy to follow with sessions linked to DVSA standards. I felt much more confident delivering lessons even before passing the exam. I passed the Part 3 in my first attempt and will highly recommend training with Jonathan to become a driving instructor.
