I’ve been told a few times my job is easy….
All I do is sit and tell ppl where to turn blah blah blah…..

Ok let me enlighten you a little.

I had to take 3 tests before I was recognised as a driving instructor.

I have to deal with pupils who….
Cry, laugh when they’ve nearly killed us, don’t bother coming our for their lesson, cancel as I’m pulling up outside their house or go AWOL for weeks then expect their space to still be there when THEY ARE ready to start back up !

But still I smile and carry on.

I have to deal with parents asking why it’s taking so long, booking tests without asking if their child is any where near ready and then expecting me to just let them “have a go”

But still I smile and carry on.

I have to deal with other drivers putting my pupils under pressure, doing dangerous manoeuvres around my pupils, while I’ve got to keep my pupil calm.

But still I smile and carry on.

I have to adapt each lesson to suit each pupil.
Some get stressed when they can’t grasp something, others just give up, some just don’t understand…. I have to think and find another way to get it across so they understand

But still I smile and carry on.

I have pupils with anxiety, ADHD, physical disabilities, mental disability’s and a whole other range of conditions…. But I do everything I can to help them and adapt.

But still I smile and carry on.

That is just a snippet of what a driving instructor has to do to do their job!

Could you explain how and why you do EVERYTHING you do when you’re driving? Right down to the smallest detail?
Miss a tiny little thing out and, that’s the difference between them understanding and not!

So before you tell me job is easy ask yourself could you do it? Could you stay calm when an over bearing parent is giving it you large?
Could you stay calm when the pupil doesn’t stop the car and you have to have the reactions of Jackie Chan to keep you and everyone else around you safe ?
When you pulled up to pick a pupil up after getting up extra early to accommodate them for that lesson then they cancel last minute and you could’ve stayed in bed an extra hour.

All these things are a thing in our world and plenty of other things too.

But still I smile and carry on because when that 1 pupil passes and you see that smile, tears of joy, you get that text saying they got a new job because they needed to drive to be able to take that job…. I know I make a difference to ppls lives…. So I smile and carry on….

But….

My job is no where near easy.
