Hi, I’m Paul, I’ve been driving for over 30 years, 18 of those professionally driving busses. I enjoy passing on my knowledge to our students.

All my lessons are adapted to the students’ needs, in a calm and friendly manner.

My interests away from work are American sports, especially NFL. I also enjoy going on holidays with my lovely wife.

I worked in social care and counselling for many years in often challenging environments prior to joining Your Pass as a driving instructor. I use this experience to bring a calm and supportive environment to learners with client led and adaptable lessons. Outside of work I like to walk the dog, hike long distance trails, mountain bike and travel.

Hi I’m Jamie. I’m a married father of 3. I’ve been a qualified driving instructor for many years. I’ve worked in driving jobs for over 15 years from vans to driving buses. I have a friendly, calm approach to teaching and my aim is to not only teach you to drive but to empower you to be a confident, knowledgeable and safe driver on our roads.

Outside of lessons I like to play pool but hated it that one time Gary beat me on our team night out. Him and his stupid trophy he won when he was 11.

Over the last 20+ years, I’ve had a broad range of roles, from parking cars at 5 star hotels to working in a lab.

I’m very adept at learning new things and tuning into customer needs.

I try to promote a very calm and relaxed environment in the car, and I’m described as being very patient. When I’m not working, I like to get muddy and keep fit by doing Obstacle Course Racing.

Email: jamiemitchell@your-pass.co.uk

Before becoming a driving instructor I worked in social care for 8 years spending a lot of time working with adults with learning difficulties and challenging behaviours. I am very patient and supportive of peoples needs in all environments.

Lessons are adapted to the learners pace and needs in a friendly and safe environment.

My pupils have recommended me to friends and family after having bad experiences or anxiety about driving in the past and have discovered a new found passion and enjoyment for wanting to drive.

My interests out of work include camping, fishing and spending time with family.

Email: gillian@your-pass.co.uk

Before becoming a driving instructor I had a variety of different roles, mainly in the retail or customer service sector.

I have worked as a Duty/Deputy Manager for BP M&S Fuel Stations, I’ve cleaned vending machines, sold diamonds and worked as a fresh food handler.

Out of all of those jobs, the part I have loved the most was the teaching aspect, both learning for myself and teaching others.

My pupils recommend me to others as someone who promotes a calm learning environment tailored to their individual needs.

Outside of work I like reading, Star Wars books are my favourite. Baking cakes or bread and playing with my pets.

I’m Gary — founder of Your Pass Driving School. I’ve built a team of passionate instructors who genuinely care about helping learners succeed. I teach in an electric car (Nissan Leaf) and love bringing calm, clear guidance to every lesson.

Alongside teaching, I host the Driving Drivel Podcast — a light-hearted show about all things driving, where guests share test stories, play games, and have a laugh. I also run our YouTube channel, packed with tutorials, test reviews and real-life learner journeys.

Outside of driving, I’m a dad, a tech nerd, love a bit of badminton, and I’m obsessed with golf too ⛳️ — always looking for an excuse to get out on the course.
