I was born and raised in Sevenoaks, and I teach in the town and the villages close by. I know these roads as a local and as an instructor, from the narrow lanes around Chipstead and the Weald to the mini-roundabouts at Riverhead and the duck pond in Otford. Wherever you live, lessons start from your door and get onto useful roads quickly.

How pick-ups work

  • From home in Sevenoaks or any of the villages below.
  • From school, including lunch breaks, free periods, before school and after school, depending on the school.
  • From Sevenoaks, Bat & Ball or Otford station, if you travel in, or if it's easier than home.

Lessons are 90 minutes as standard, with one-hour lessons where they fit around the school day. I teach manual in a VW Polo and automatic in an electric Renault 5, seven days a week.

Geoff has been a fantastic teacher for our son who appreciated his clear and structured instruction. As parents we appreciated the flexibility around school timetables and relevant feedback after lessons on what to practice. He passed first time with an excellent result.
