Find a Female Driving Instructor

If you’ve got your provisional license at the ready, it’s time to take the next step and think about booking your first driving lessons.

There are plenty of things to consider before booking your first lesson, but a key element is finding the right instructor for you. You’ll be spending, on average, around 45 hours with your instructor as you build up your skills and increase your confidence out on the road – so picking the right instructor can be key.

For this reason, it’s essential that you choose an instructor that puts your mind at ease during your lessons to get you on your way to driving independently in no time. There’s no one-size-fits all with learning to drive – whether you want manual or automatic driving lessons, with a male or female instructor, we aim to make every learner feel comfortable during their driving lessons.

Some learners would rather be taught by a female driving instructor. Get in touch with Bill Plant Driving School today using the form above and we’ll do our utmost to match you up to a female driving instructor near you.

What is the difference between a male and a female driving instructor?

There won’t be any difference between male and female driving instructors in terms of their ability or knowledge. Regardless of gender, each driving instructor has completed the same rigorous driving instructor training to obtain their qualifications – the same ones that won us the award for Driving Instructor Training Provider of the Year 2023.

If you decide to learn to drive with Bill Plant Driving School, you’ll be assigned a professional, supportive and reliable instructor, no matter whether they’re male or female. Being comfortable when you’re at the wheel is a priority, so if you would prefer to take lessons with a female driving instructor, we’re happy to arrange this for you.

Why might someone choose a female driving instructor?

For many learners, the gender of their driving instructor won’t really matter. But others might have a preference for who teaches them how to drive.

Some learners might choose a female driving instructor simply out of choice, but there might be other reasons too. You may require lessons from a female driving instructor for religious or cultural reasons or maybe because you’d be more comfortable being taught to drive by a woman. We won’t ask you for your reasons when you enquire – we’ll simply do whatever we can to facilitate this.

FAQs about finding a female driving instructor

Am I guaranteed a female driving instructor?

Across the UK, the majority of driving instructors are male. 2012 UK government data showed that only 22.4% of registered Approved Driving Instructors (ADI) are female. Although this percentage has likely since risen a little, there are still fewer female driving instructors in the UK compared to males.

So, while we can’t 100% guarantee that you’ll be assigned to a female driving instructor in your preferred area, we’ll do everything we can to arrange your lessons exactly how you would prefer.

Can I change instructors if I’m not happy with who I have been allocated?

If you don’t gel with your instructor right away, it’s best to give them a chance regardless of gender. Each driving instructor has a wealth of knowledge and tips that they’re waiting to share to get you on your way to driving independently.

If you would prefer to switch to a different driving instructor, the customer services team at Bill Plant Driving School will do everything they can to arrange this, providing that we can accommodate your preferred transmission and location.

Please be aware that your reallocated instructor may have a different rate per hour and availability.
