Driving Schools
in Bures

A-DRIVE is a friendly, independently-owned driving school based in Manningtree, Essex. We operate within the areas of Colchester, Ipswich and all of Tendring District, offering manual driving courses as well as tailored driving lessons with male or female instructors. Lessons are structured to be informative yet enjoyable and adapted to your personal learning style and needs.

Learning to drive need not be a struggle if you have the proper tuition from a fully trained and experienced instructor. Emphasis is placed on giving each pupil the oppropriate instruction.

I offer driving lessons in Colchester, Clacton, Alresford, Elmstead Market, Thorrington and Brightlingsea. I am a fully qualified A graded instructor and have completed a BTEC4 in Coaching for Driver Development which focuses on encouraging new drivers to search for solutions to driving problems during training and post test.
