Why take your 12 EDT lessons with a private tutor?

Driving is an important skill in Ireland and will probably always be useful. However, it can also be one of the most stressful processes of becoming an adult, and many young Irish people take years to become a fully licensed driver. It can be a pain preparing and studying for the theory test and then finding a time slot can be a nightmare in itself, once you pass that if you pass it, you’re suddenly in a race to complete 12 hours of driving lessons and be fully prepared for a driving test at the end of it.

It incurs a lot of expense, stress and time which is why it’s a good idea for new learners to hire a private tutor to help them throughout the entire process. You won’t make beginner mistakes, you won’t have to get used to other teachers and you may even save money with the many discounts our Superprof tutors offer. 

Superprof will also allow you a level of flexibility that ordinary driving instructors could ever offer you, you’re able to schedule your lessons on a weekly basis so that you’re never in an awkward position and you can stop whenever you want ensuring you’re never locked into a bad position.

What skills are good for driving?

Driving lessons are already designed to teach you the necessary skills to become a skilled driver,  but if you already have these essential skills, you’ll be ready for the final driving test. Being a good student will allow you to make the most of your lessons so focus and concentration are vital. During lessons, you’ll have to multitask; listening to the driving instructor, driving the car, remembering previous driving lessons and keeping an eye out for hazards and obstacles.

Sharpening your focus will be a necessary and useful skill. If you already have motor skills from driving farm equipment or maybe a few drives with family you’ll be in a good position for starting lessons, one of the first things every student has to do is become familiar and comfortable with the vehicle, that means understanding all the dashboard controls, the pedals and everything else.

So, if you already know these motor skills, you’re all set!

How do driving lessons work on Superprof?

Driving lessons work like many other subjects on Superprof, first, you have to find your tutor and organise lessons at an ideal time with them. This involves deciding on a location, lesson content and other important factors. When it comes to driving, online lessons will usually be restricted to driving reviews or theory reviews.

The final test involves a theory section so all driving instructors will walk you through the questions they ask, such as road signs, car maintenance and road safety laws.

In-person lessons will work exactly as they would with any other driving instructor, except that the organisation and vetting are handled by Superprof!

 You can search for teachers all across Ireland, but the best bit is that you can sort the instructors by price, reviews, location and qualifications. Some tutors may only offer online lessons, or some may focus on specific driving skills. Whatever it is, you’ll be sure to find it on Superprof.

What jobs can you get with driving lessons?

Having a driving license opens up a world of opportunities, especially in rural Ireland. Unfortunately, for most of us in the countryside, it’s very difficult to get around unless we’re going to Dublin or somewhere on the way.

Driving will give you the choice to go out but it can also empower you to get a new job, with all the new places in reach, you can commute to a lot more potential jobs, however, there are also car-specific jobs that are very popular in Ireland right now such as taxi-driver, delivery, bus driver or even emergency services.
