Automatic Driving Lessons – Learn with Jon Thorne

Hello, my name is Jon Thorne.

I teach people like you to drive in an automatic vehicle. Driving an automatic allows you to focus on the road without worrying about the clutch and gears. Many of my pupils have struggled with manual in the past, losing confidence or even giving up. With automatic, that stress is removed – making learning simpler and more enjoyable.
