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."

Jonathan
Hi, I'm Jonathan, I have worked as a manual instructor for over 9 years. Before that I was a Regional Trainer/Fraud Officer for a large leisure company based in Poole. I am patient, calm and will always ensure you feel safe and comfortable during the lessons. In my spare time I love music and have been a Mobile DJ for over thirty years. I also repair and build PC's and laptops. Jonathan teaches in a manual Toyota Auris.
"I had my lessons with Jonathan, he was both informative, patient and professional. Lesson costs are really good, not expensive at all. Sadly due to Covid we didn't get to complete the lessons but I took my test yesterday and passed first time with only 2 minors! I can't thank him enough for his tuition and support. Would recommend wholeheartedly."
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 has many years experience and is extra good with nervous pupils. Tracey is also a hypnotherapist and life coach and can teach pupils techniques to cope better with test day nerves. 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."
Debbie
Debbie is from Bournemouth and has very good knowledge of the local and surrounding areas. She trained to become a driving instructor in 2009. Debbie is patient and her lessons are calm, friendly and relaxed. Debbie teaches in a manual Ford fiesta diesel.
"Debbie (Bournemouth) is a fantastic instructor. She gave me enough confidence. She is very energetic, optimist and got good teaching skill (both driving knowledge and handling people). Definitely would recommend Debbie if you are looking for motivating instructor."
