Google review
“…cleared my test in first attempt in Reading.”
What we mean
What second nature means
Second nature means you don't have to think about every little thing. You get there by understanding driving, not just copying it.
We explain why the rules exist, help you spot the same idea on any road, and build your judgement. The test is a milestone along the way, not the finish line.
How we get there
Four things we build, lesson by lesson
Learn the rules properly
They exist for a reason.
Understand why
So you can use the idea anywhere.
Use your judgement
We build your judgement, step by step.
Adapt to any road
We help you spot the same idea on any road, so you can adapt to whatever it throws at you.
What a lesson feels like
Calm, clear and at your pace
Lessons are two hours, with the same instructor. With your plan mapped out, there's no guessing what comes next. All you have to do is show up.
Your instructor works at your pace and doesn't move on until you're ready. If something goes wrong, you talk it through straight away, so you know what happened and what to do next time.
“…the confidence to feel more at ease with driving when I was incredibly nervous for years beforehand. He's been calm and reassuring every step of the way.”
“…the driving instructor is extremely patient and informative.”
Passing is a milestone
The test is not the finish line
When you're ready for your test, we do a two-hour warm-up lesson and take you to the test centre.
Passed your test? The Open Road (the official Pass Plus scheme) takes you on the roads your test never covered: motorways, night driving, bad weather.
What we stand for
Reliable, knowledgeable and kind
Knowledgeable
We don't just tell you what to do. We tell you why, so you can do it on any road.
Kind
Every learner is treated with patience and respect, whoever you are and wherever you're starting from.
Who we are
The people behind The Only Way
All our instructors speak Arabic, so you can ask questions, make mistakes and learn in the language you think in. Swahili is available too, and you can ask for a female instructor.
