About me

About me
Hi, my name is Claire and I provide manual driving lessons in Dalkeith, Midlothian.

I was born and raised in Dalkeith and I live here with my husband, our teenage daughter, and our Ragdoll cat. Being local means I know the area well and understand the roads, routes, and challenges learners face every day.

Before starting my journey into driving instruction, I spent over 17 years working in the property industry, with customer service and staff training at the heart of my role, working my way up to senior management. Throughout my career, I’ve developed the ability to stay calm under pressure, be patient and understanding, and support people in achieving their goals - skills that transfer naturally into driving instruction.

I promise that my lessons are conducted in a calm environment using a relaxed approach that helps learners feel at ease behind the wheel. I believe learning to drive should be a positive experience, so lessons are delivered in a friendly, supportive environment, at a pace that suits you. My aim is to help you build confidence, develop safe driving habits, and reach your full potential.

I chose to train with LDC because everyone learns differently. The LD System allows flexibility within lessons, ensuring you can learn to drive safely and confidently at a rate that works for you. The LD system incorporates online learning videos and a workbook with clear diagrams, quizzes and a structured learning plan to cover all the important aspects of learning to drive. The LD system is unique to LDC instructors and you can be rest assured our comprehensive programme will enable us to monitor your progress and cover what you need to become a safe driver for life.
