The Best Choice for Nervous Learners
“A calm, patient driving instructor can make all the difference when learning to drive, and Alec Hatwood is exactly that.” From my very first lesson, Alec’s calm, patient approach helped me feel at ease, even though I started with no confidence at all. Thanks to his support and expertise, I was able to pass my driving test first time in just five months—something I never thought possible! If you’re a nervous learner looking for a calm, patient driving instructor in Melton Mowbray, Alec is the perfect choice.
The Best Driving Instructor for Nervous Learners

Before starting lessons with Alec, I was incredibly anxious about driving. The idea of being on the road, making quick decisions, and handling a car felt overwhelming. However, Alec’s calm, patient driving instructor style immediately put me at ease. He never rushed me or made me feel pressured; instead, he took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I felt confident before moving on.
One of Alec’s greatest strengths is his ability to turn negative thoughts into positives. If I made a mistake, he would help me understand what went wrong and how to correct it, rather than letting me dwell on it. This approach was incredibly reassuring and helped me progress much faster than I expected.
Structured, Supportive, and Tailored Lessons
Alec’s lessons are structured and personalised to suit each learner’s needs. He pays close attention to areas where improvement is needed and works keenly on any skills you want to develop. Whether it was roundabouts, parking, or general road confidence, Alec provided patient guidance to ensure I felt comfortable in every aspect of driving.
Alec is also fantastic at taking on feedback and addressing any worries. If I was struggling with a particular manoeuvre or felt unsure about something, he would adapt the lesson to focus on that specific area. His ability to listen, reassure, and tailor lessons to suit the learner is what makes him such a fantastic calm, patient driving instructor.
The Benefits of Learning in an Automatic Car
One of the best decisions I made was choosing to learn in an automatic car. Alec teaches in a Toyota Corolla hybrid automatic, which made driving much easier and allowed me to focus on road awareness rather than gear changes.
For nervous learners like myself, an automatic car is a great option because:
- There’s no need to worry about clutch control or stalling.
- You can concentrate fully on steering, braking, and accelerating.
- The drive is smoother, making it easier to build confidence.
Passing First Time – Thanks to Alec!
After just five months of lessons with Alec, I passed my driving test first time! This was a huge achievement for me, especially considering how nervous I was when I first started. I genuinely believe that Alec’s calm, patient driving instructor approach was the key to my success.
