Our client centred method makes the student feel that they own the lesson and that developing skills and techniques is their responsibility. Self-analysis and evaluation are encouraged using a coaching framework because this helps to boost the student’s confidence. Creating a sense of independence encourages the pupil to take the initiative when dealing with hazards or problems on the road. Finally, coaching is more likely to produce a well-rounded, safer, road aware driver. The technique being learned is then performed by the pupil, initially under full instruction, and then through coaching it is finally mastered without any need for further prompting from the instructor.
