Meet The Team
Jennifer (Owner)
I’m Jennifer and the founder of Jennifer’s Driving School. I started working for myself and slowly built up a trustworthy and loyal small team of instructors who consistently get people through their driving tests and get glowing reviews from their pupils! I currently offer Confidence Booster lessons for full licence holders only, in your own car, £60 for 1.5 hours. I cover New Milton, Highcliffe, Christchurch, Boscombe, and most Bournemouth areas. I can help you feel more confident with driving, as well as tackling anything you might struggle with or want some help and guidance with. Email me for more info 🙂
"Dear Jen! Thanks for all the help last week! You are by far the worlds greatest driving instructor! Every time I go for the indicator ... I'll be thinking of your words ... 'Mirrors before signal Rob' 🙂 Hope this message reaches you in good health Jen."
Gareth

Gareth covers areas south of the river Stour from Poole to Christchurch and teaches in a manual car.

Jo
Hello! My name is Jo, I am an experienced driving instructor covering Poole, Wimborne and surrounding areas. It will be my responsibility to teach you a life skill and to have you driving on our busy roads, safely and with confidence. I am reliable, punctual and trustworthy, and calm, patient, and professional at all times.
"After having several driving instructors and still feeling nervous and unconfident, I finally found Jo who changed my driving almost immediately! She was patient, calm and made me feel instantly in control and at ease. I truly believe, if it wasn’t for Jo’s unique approach to teaching, I would still be struggling. I must also add that I passed with only one minor….she is that good!! I would recommend her to anyone."
Emma
Emma is very much client focused and a people-person. She has worked for victim support for the police and has also been a 111 call handler for the ambulance service. Previous to this Emma spent 20 years working for a bank, a lot of that involved training/coaching/facilitating. Emma’s dad is a Senior Driving Officer for Hampshire County Council and is often on TV talking about safe driving - she must be a chip off the old block!
"At the time I started to learn driving with Emma I knew nothing about driving. Emma is very patient with me and explain every detail to me. She is very encouraging as well which is helpful to boot my confidence and make me enjoy driving rather than being stressed. She puts me at the centre of learning and tailored the learning experience to my needs and capabilities. I really appreciate Emma to be my driving instructor."
Tracey
Tracey teaches automatic lessons and is a GRADE A driving instructor. This is the highest grade possible and very few instructors achieve this grade.

She is easy going and extremely patient and friendly and a very popular instructor! She often gets booked up so contact us asap if you’d like to book in with her.
"I had a few previous instructors before Tracey but just never seemed to drive consistently well. After failing previous tests, I was loosing faith. Tracey's methodical techniques were easy to understand and apply. As a life coach and hypnotherapist she definitely improved my self confidence behind the wheel and for the first time I began to enjoy driving. I couldn't recommend her highly enough as a driving instructor."

"I took 3 lessons with Andy just before my test. I already knew how to drive but really needed help ironing out all the bad habits and small mistakes I was making. Fortunately I passed my test with only 1 minor! If you’re looking for a friendly and encouraging instructor to get yourself test ready, look no further than Jennifer’s and make sure you ask for Andy :)"

"I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Raj as my instructor, and our 22 hours of lessons together were an absolute delight. Raj is a true professional, always remaining calm and collected even in challenging situations on the road. His guidance was invaluable, as he patiently taught me the intricacies of driving and instilled confidence in me. What sets Raj apart is not just his expertise but also his friendly and approachable nature. He made every lesson enjoyable and created a comfortable environment for learning. I couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor than Raj."
