There’s nothing worse than looking at the telephone, waiting for it to ring, getting home in the evening opening your wallet and realising what you have earned has to pay for an overinflated franchise.
I bet you are sick and tired of having to reduce your price because your competitors are charging £15 per lesson or 12 lessons for £99.
You’re an industry professional thus charging your worth.
Are you struggling to find students? As they seem to be going to the 3 instructors that live on your road.
Our industry is now overrun with so-called driving instructors, who have all seen the advert, “work 15 hours a week around your family for a salary of £30k.
“BULL”! How about when you are teaching and the phone rings, dam you have a lead, but you’re with a student, how unprofessional would it look if you were to answer as she’s doing 40mph down the dual carriageway? The phone goes silent.
That’s your lead gone; they are going down the long list of instructors in the directory and waiting for an answer on the other end.
Do you have to teach in unfamiliar areas miles from home and have to fill your car up with even more petrol charged at today’s extortionate prices just to find work?
Ever noticed that there are more driving instructors on the road than there are police? If the economics runes are correct we as ADIs are in for a hard time ahead.
The face of the world along with our industry is changing. Isn’t it about time you change too?
Time to start thinking outside the box. Long gone are the glory days of putting an ad in the yellow pages and waiting for the phone to ring.
Technology has moved on.
Perhaps you should too. Once you passed your part 3 exam you were simply told to Join a driving school and pay a franchise of about £200- £330 each week and then rely on them providing you with pupils (some cannot provide pupils and they still demand the full franchise!)
Get your car, put a rooftop on with your name and number and then wait for the phone to ring Rely on word of mouth and referrals.
These strategies simply don’t work.
This is when we come in DirectDrive™ Motoring Tuition can solve all of these problems and much more. We are a marketing agency for Approved Driving Instructors with a proven track record.
There’s no need to struggle on your own as we cover every possible aspect of running a successful driving school business.

We are so confident in our package that we guarantee you will be satisfied within three months or your deposit back.
Take David for example “I did my training with one of the national schools; you know the one that starts with B and ends with M. aka Bring Some Money. All they were ever interested in was my franchise.
I worked for 9 weeks once with only 1 student and they still expected me to find a weekly franchise to pay them. I was in a bad way struggling to feed my young family.
I was demoralised and feared my remaining students would also see this; I had nothing to smile about. I was seriously at the end of my tether.
My life changed when I spoke to a chap called Kevin who I met in one of the test centres. He was another ADI and asked me if I was busy, embarrassingly I said: “no not at all.”
He asked why “I’m just not getting any work” He immediately pulled out his card and said ring these guys DirectDrive. I remember walking through the door, giving my wife a half-hearted kiss and logging onto my computer, in the hope that my driving school had put some work my way.
Again nothing. I pulled out the business card I was given from my wallet and entered the website address. How professional it all looked immediately took me back. A company that virtually runs everything for you.
This was unheard of.
The next morning I called and spoke to the marketing team at first I thought they were a scam and wouldn’t produce the goods.
I was sent screenshots of the instructor diary where I was taken back.
My diary had never looked that full.
I asked how would they get my diary to look so full, and was told it was down to the success of their marketing campaign. He told me that they will send 10000 leaflets to addresses within a 5-mile radius of my address and to prove it they will do it on my road.
I was sold I went down to their office and signed up there and then, that was 4 years ago and I have never looked back.”
This is just one of our many success stories. This concept isn’t new, we have been trading this way since 1999 and since then we have gone from strength to strength.
Our philosophy is simple. The more instructors that join DirectDrive™, the more we can invest in advertising and marketing. The result is a constant supply of work for all of our instructors. With DirectDrive™ Motoring Tuition, you will be your boss.

We can then real them in they call the office, our receptionist has a sales background and is paid by commission. The more students they book the more money they earn.
The prospective student postcode is taken down which gets fed into the system and is highlighted that you are available at a particular time and date.
