Do you like to coach or preach?

The BIG TOM franchise attracts driving instructors who can assist a pupil to learn in a way that means something to them.  Contrast that approach to one where the driving instructor expects the pupil to learn in a way that means something to the instructor - an entirely different prospect.  One reason why pupils leave driving instructors is due to not feeling like they are making progress because they simply aren't learning.

A smart instructor attempts to understand how to facilitate learning by asking open questions of the pupil about how they like to learn.  BIG TOM driving instructors will have at their disposal a variety of techniques that can be utilised to suit the needs of the pupil.  Happy pupil - happy driving instructor.

Effective driving instruction is all about the relationship with the pupil, not whether the driving instructor "likes driving" or "is patient".  We want to hear from people that have a genuine interest in helping learner drivers learn, not comply with instructions.

"Helpful driving instructor, very informative five day course from beginning to end.  I could feel myself progressing as the days went on and as I was told about different ways of learning and developing new skills which is very good for confidence while driving especially as a learner” Billy Brooks from Castle Bytham

The reason why this is so important to us here at BIG TOM is because that is how we help franchisees who join us.  We tap in to how THEY like to learn too.  Once you witness how effective this approach is, you will be more inclined to stop TELLING pupils what to do, and instead, encourage them to LEARN what to do.
