Learn on the roads you'll be tested on

Manual and automatic, for complete beginners and nervous drivers alike. Weekly lessons, intensive and semi-intensive courses, plus Pass Plus and refresher sessions. We have both male and female instructors, and Dawn specialises in learners with learning difficulties and disabilities.
Driving in and around Tynemouth
Tynemouth is a beautiful coastal town on the north bank of the Tyne, known for its clifftop Priory and Castle, the Longsands beach and King Edward's Bay. Learning here gives you a lovely mix – open coast roads and seafront driving alongside the busier junctions towards North Shields and Cullercoats – great all-round preparation for the road.
