What Burton upon Trent learners say
★★★★★
I passed my driving test today with only a single minor fault, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Matthew is a wonderful instructor who instills confidence from day one. Instead of just teaching the bare minimum to pass the exam, he focuses on high standard, real-world traffic scenarios (Motorways/ Narrow country roads). Highly recommended for anyone wanting to become a truly safe and capable driver.

★★★★★
Matt is great driving instructor. He always kept the lessons calm and relaxed, which really helped build my confidence behind the wheel. Thanks to his support and guidance, I passed my test on 9th February 2026 with only 1 minor. I couldn’t recommend him enough!
★★★★★
Matt is an amazing instructor, really helped me, couldn’t have passed without him, couldn’t recommend him anymore. He’s a good person and a good friend.

Your local instructor in Burton upon Trent
I’m Matt, an AA-recognised, DVSA-approved instructor. You’ll learn with me from your first lesson to your test: same instructor, same fully electric VW ID.5, same calm approach. ADI no. 840019.
Why learn in an automatic?
No clutch, no stalling at the lights. You focus on reading the road and making good decisions, which makes a real difference on Burton’s busy town roads, roundabouts and dual carriageways. Coming from a manual? See switching from manual to automatic.
A calmer way to learn
Many of my learners arrive anxious, maybe after a bad experience elsewhere. There’s no rushing and no judgement. You’ll always know what you’re doing well and what we’ll work on next. Haven’t driven for a while? Try refresher lessons.
What you’ll learn

How much are driving lessons in Burton upon Trent?
£35 for one hour or £70 for two, in an automatic car, including access to a theory app. Block bookings bring it down to £33 an hour.
Do you offer automatic driving lessons in Burton upon Trent?
Yes. All lessons are in a fully electric, automatic VW ID.5, which many learners find simpler and less stressful. You can focus on the road and your confidence without worrying about gears or clutch control.
I’m a nervous driver. Are your lessons suitable for me?
Absolutely. Many learners come to me feeling anxious or lacking confidence, and that’s completely normal. Lessons are calm, patient, and always taken at your pace, with no pressure to rush.
Where do lessons start from?
Lessons start from your home, work or college address, as agreed when you book. The pick-up point needs to be within the area I cover, and can only be changed if we’ve arranged it in advance.
Which test centre should I choose?
Most Burton learners test at the Wellington Road centre, as those are the roads you’ll know best. If the wait is long, Lichfield is a good alternative, and we’ll practise on those routes too.
How many driving lessons will I need?
Everyone learns at a different pace, so there’s no fixed number of lessons. I’ll always be honest about your progress and what I think will help you most.
Do you offer refresher driving lessons in Burton upon Trent?
Yes. Refresher lessons are ideal if you passed years ago but haven’t driven for a while, feel nervous on certain roads, or want help with things like roundabouts or motorway driving.
Can you help with driving test preparation?
Yes. I offer focused test preparation, including mock test-style lessons and practice on local routes, so you feel confident, prepared and calm on test day.
