Driving Instructor in Tunbridge Wells | Tonbridge | Heathfield | Kent & East Sussex

Welcome to Nick White Driving School, providing friendly, professional driving lessons in Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding areas Whether you’re a complete beginner, preparing for your test, or looking for refresher lessons to rebuild confidence, enjoy patient, personalised tuition designed to strengthen your skills and road safety awareness from day one.

About me

I’ve loved cars and driving for as long as I can remember, and now I’m lucky enough to share that enthusiasm as a driving instructor. I believe every learner is different, so I use a client-centred approach and tailor each lesson to suit your individual needs - no one-size-fits-all teaching here.

So what can you expect in your first lesson?

We’ll start with a quick check of your driving licence and an eye test, then head to a quiet residential area to help you get comfortable with the basics. This gives you plenty of time to build confidence and learn how to control the car before moving on to busier roads.

I’ll always go at your pace, in an encouraging, calm and supportive environment. Just bring a positive attitude and a willingness to learn - and we’ll make driving feel natural and hopefully enjoyable.

You can also familiarise yourself with the official Show Me / Tell Me questions before your lesson to get a head start.

You will also receive an invite for the Total Drive App, which lets you monitor your lesson times, payments, and track your progress all in one place - keeping everything organised and stress-free!

What Our Drivers Say

Anneli Belfield

I learned to drive with Nick, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Nick is very kind, patient, and calm, which made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. He explained everything clearly and at a pace that worked for me. He remained calm in every situation, which really helped me stay focused and relaxed. Thanks to Nick, I passed my driving test with one minor, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and professional driving instructor!

Emilia Belfield

I have had an amazing experience learning to drive. Nick has been an amazing driving instructor and helped me improve my driving so much. He’s very calm and supportive even when you make mistakes and is always encouraging. Nick was always super friendly and kind - I would definitely recommend Nick as a driving instructor. Thank you so much!!!!

Sophie Parry

Really good experience with Nick, passing first time. Nick was super accommodating to my work schedule which made the whole learning experience much easier, to get frequent lessons booked in. Would recommend.

Callum Donoghue

Nick has been amazing and faultless right from the very first moment I got into contact, he’s an exceptional instructor and really believed in me throughout the whole process. I can’t thank Nick enough for teaching me everything and for all the brilliant chats and laughs along the way

Nina Middleton

I want to say big THANK YOU to the best, kind and super patient Driving Instructor ever! I had a few driving instructors in the past 5 years on and off and did not have any confidence at all.
I learn how to be confident, patient with my self, how to give time and how to progress from lesson to lesson.
Nick was so professional throughout the whole time I truly feel that he adapted to the way I learn and remained calm even when I made mistakes I’d rate him higher if I could!

Rory Clark

I was very pleased with Nick's tuition, after a few attempts with other instructors over the years. Both Nicks calm, informative and patient approach and the framework that his school use to structure their lessons made everything click into place- I started with Nick in October and am happy to say have passed this week!! I was confident enough to get insured when I got home and out on the road the next day. I highly recommend for anyone who has had bad experiences elsewhere!!

Lee Davis

Can’t recommend Nick enough taught my daughter in a very calm manner, gave her the confidence needed for her to pass

Sue Bourne

Highly recommend Nick - my son learnt in Tunbridge wells and enjoyed his lessons with Nick. As parents we could see on the app his progress and found booking and paying for lessons easy. Nick fitted around Max’s school and work schedule which worked well. Max passed first time.
Many thanks

Maddie Steger

Nick was the absolute best I could have asked for in a driving instructor! I always looked forward to lessons and was never made to feel stupid. No matter what happened he explained everything that could be done better in a calm, friendly and fun way. I would recommend very highly to anybody no matter how much experience of driving you have :))))
