The Structure of a Driving Lesson.

Your driving lesson should be structured in such a way as to give you, the student, value for money, and to ensure that learning takes place.
Many students become frustrated with their apparently slow progress,which is often caused by the way the lessons are structured, rather than lack of ability.
The driving instructors at John Lowe Driving will offer you fully structured lessons, with a beginning, a middle and an end.

Say, for example, you were to learn a manouevre for the first time. The lesson would be structured as follows:

• Questions and answers to create a recap and briefing. Previous knowledge will be explored. Explanation of the manouevre, with the aid of diagrams etc.
• Demonstration, if appropriate, then full talk through practice.
• Remedial practice with prompts if necessary.
• Debriefing, feedback, encouragement, praise, fault analysis and a link forward to the next lesson.

The first phase of next lesson should then be a repeat of the last phase of the current lesson, to confirm the skills and knowledge gained.
The student will be involved in the lesson at all times, being encouraged to give input to all aspects of the task.

This method is a very effective way to really understand the requirements of each task and can be used in all topics when learning to drive. It has been successful over the years and we are proud of our 76% pass rate, when the average pass rate in Gloucester and Cheltenham is around 43%
