About The Driving School

We’re a Driving School based in London with an award winning YouTube channel; Driving School TV

It all started in 2018 when Francis left the driving school he was working with to start his own school. The main problem he faced was having to turn away people he really wanted to help achieve their driving dreams! But he had a plan… When The Driving School was born he focused heavily on social media, producing content that everyone could use, from driving hacks to motivational advice on your driving test, with the one goal of helping as many people learn to drive as possible! 

Driving School TV wasn’t the name of our social media channels at first. It was also The Driving School, and you might be able to see a few nods to our old name in various places! In the years that Driving School TV has been running, we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of people pass their driving tests, teamed up with lots of big brands to bring you exclusive content and competition prizes, and done countless mock tests with the amazing people who watch and follow us. 

We’ve also taken on new instructors who you can regularly see across our social media! We get requests to join the school regularly but we only take on instructors that are amazing teachers, deliver fun and engaging lessons and most importantly absolutely love what they do! So you can be sure that taking lessons with us will give you the best chance to enjoy driving, learn quickly, feel safe and valued and you might even get to feature in our next YouTube video!

FOUNDER

Meet Francis

Hi I’m Francis Noakes the founder of The Driving School and Driving School TV.

Laura

INSTRUCTOR

Meet Laura

Hey! I’m Laura, I passed my driving test when I was 17 and as a result, was always the sixth formers uber to the drive-thru!

I’ve been teaching since 2007 and I can honestly say it’s such a rewarding job and I love it! 

I’m based in South West London and I love it here, take me over a bridge into other parts of London and I’m just so lost! So if you’re South of the river, I’m the instructor for you! 

I love teaching roundabouts and reverse bay parking is my ultimate fave manoeuvre. When I’m not working you’ll usually find me in the kitchen cooking up a storm and playing music extremely loudly… What’s there not to love about food and music?? However, I’m hopeless at singing and whoever spends time in the car with me will get to know about it! All in all, I’m a friendly, fun, bubbly character. I bring banter to any lesson while maintaining a professional safe learning environment.

Meet Shannon

Hiiiiii I’m Shannon!  I LOVED my driving lessons so much when I was 17 that when I wasn’t enjoying my job at 25 I thought why not become an instructor! I haven’t looked back since! The joy I get when I see my pupil’s faces when they finally smash a parallel park independently is the best feeling in the world! 

I teach in a manual Yaris and I also have my own personal Mini Clubman, but my all time favourite car has to be a Mercedes G Wagon!

My funniest driving lesson was when we were driving along a fairly quiet lane and I said “take the next road on the right”. To my surprise the pupil turns straight into someone’s driveway, just before the road I intended him to take! We both looked at each other and then before we knew it a lady was coming out of the house to see why a learner was in her front garden! We all just couldn’t stop laughing.
