Hockley driving lessons with Hawkwell Driving School:

"I learnt to drive with Alan and passed my test first time. Alan was patient and calm, even when i made squeaking noises. He never pushed me to try anything i wasn't ready for but also challenged me enough that i was progressing every week. His random expressions - "it's a clutch, not a foot rest" "lots of lovely mirrors" genuinely helped me to remember everything. As long as you can endure his jokes - "i'm just getting my binoculars so I can see the curb" - then i would recommend Alan to anyone." - Willow Scarisbrook, Thundersley

"Alan was the exact kind of instructor I was looking for - local, reliable, available at the times I wanted and good value for money. Alan never rushed me on any of my lessons, and knew exactly how far to challenge me each time and increase my confidence. I found Alan to be calm, chatty and very good at explaining things without being condescending. I found the website useful especially in preparation for my test. Alan prepared me so well for my test day, that I wasn't even nervous! I would happily recommend Alan to anyone thinking of driving lessons, and the trial lesson was a great idea!" - Angela Borst, Rayleigh

Making the right choice:

When you decide to take driving lessons you have to make a number of choices. Firstly should you choose an independent driving instructor, or go with larger driving schools. Secondly whether to go for the cheapest driving lessons you can find, or pay a little more for a good instructor. And thirdly whether to take an intensive driving course, or weekly lessons. It can be a difficult decision.

"Before I started my driving lessons with Alan, I had someone else, who I didn't really learn anything from. When I started with Alan, he taught me how to pull away very easily! He makes you feel comfortable when you're driving. He teaches you all the manoeuvres in a simple way so they're very easy and quick to learn" - Nicola Skeels, Hockley

Reliable and professional:

Alan is an independent instructor, who works on his own  under the name of Hawkwell Driving School. This means that he takes full responsibility for booking driving lessons for his pupils, and their learning progress. His reputation is very important, especially in the local area, as he relies on recommendations from satisfied customers, so he will always do his utmost to make your learning experience a good one.

The big advantage of choosing an independent driving instructor like Alan is that you are able to find out all you need to know about him before you book your driving lessons. This is why we tell you as much as possible about ourselves on this website, so that you can make an informed choice.    

Whereas if you book with multi-car driving schools you will know nothing about the qualifications or experience of your driving instructor until they arrive on your doorstep. And although there is some peace of mind in booking with what is seen to be a large organisation, multi-car driving schools are usually just booking agencies for self-employed driving instructors.   

"Alan is a friendly and relaxed instructor. You can go at your own pace and concentrate on your weaknesses and improve your strengths. Alan is very well prepared and lessons are structured with variety" - Nicola Avert, Ashingdon

Save money:

Driving lessons with Alan aren't the cheapest around, but the cheapest is not always the best value. There are a number of reasons why cheap lessons are cheap, ranging from: inexperienced, desperate for work, recently qualified instructors; to driving instructors who cannot get recommendations because of poor tuition or poor pass rates; to instructors that spend most of their lessons saving fuel by sitting at the side of the road giving 'briefings'.

Whereas Alan's driving lessons are excellent value because he guarantees that you will always receive the amount of lesson time that you have paid for, you will drive for the majority of your lesson time, and briefings will be as concise as possible.

And you will receive the very best quality driving instruction because Alan has over 25 years experience of conducting driving lessons, and an excellent verifiable driving test pass rate. He also has an extensive array of Driving Standards Agency, and advanced driving qualifications from: the DSA, the Driving Instructors Association, the IAM, and RoSPA.

This means that you will save money by learning to drive with Alan because better quality instruction, and more time actually driving, means that you will need fewer driving lessons - and you are more likely to pass your driving test first time.  

And if you take into account the cost of a driving test, the driving school's fees for the test day, and the lessons needed in-between each test in order to keep current - passing first time, as most of Alan's pupils do; and not the 6th time, which is not uncommon with some driving schools; could save you over a thousand pounds !

"I would recommend anyone who is looking to pass their test to contact Alan, he's the best instructor you could ever wish to be taught by! With his help, I managed to pass first time! The man works miracles!!! Many thanks Alan!" - James Poulson, Rayleigh

You schedule your learning:

And perhaps your final decision is whether to take a 'crash' course, or learn in a more flexible, and less stressful way, by taking driving lessons over a longer period.

The Driving Standards Agency tell us that the average driver takes 47 hours of professional tuition to pass their driving test. So unless you have considerable experience already, learning to drive in a week long 'crash' course, is totally impractical, because you would have to drive for 9 hours per day.

However, because we know that some people do want to pass their driving test quickly, we have developed a high pass-rate, practical and effective type of intensive course that enables you to fit your lessons in around work, or college, over a 6 week period. Your driving test would be at the end of the course and you would have learnt everything that you need to know, and be fully prepared, to pass first time.

Alternatively, if you would prefer to learn to drive the way that most people do, in a more relaxed, conventional way, over a few months - we can arrange single hour, one-and-a-half hour, or two-hour, driving lessons each week, or whenever you require.  This gives you much more time to take in all the information you will have learnt, to think about situations you have encountered, and the opportunity to spread out the costs.

Your schedule, be it weekly lessons or an intensive course, is entirely up to you, and Alan will always do his best to accommodate your requirements. 

"alan is a great to learn with, i passed first time with him. He managed to explain each maneuver so that i could understand them easier, i enjoyed every lesson and recommend him to any new drivers in the hockley and rayleigh area" - Craig Vile, Hawkwell

2- hour trial lesson for only £30

And because we know that it's important for you to know that you can get along with your driving instructor on your lessons, we are able to offer you a two-hour no-obligation trial driving lesson where you can meet Alan, discuss your requirements, and decide if you want Alan as your instructor, and Hawkwell Driving School Hockley as your driving school. 

"i would definitely recommend to learn to drive with alan. Brilliant instructor. i managed to pass first time last week! thanks again" - Emily Leverington, Hockley

The site:

Alan has written a number of pages for this site explaining what you need to know about driving lessons, the driving test, and how you can improve your driving skills. Because of his years of teaching experience, large vehicle driving experience, and advanced driving experience, he is able to not just tell you what you need to do, but how to do it. He is also able to explain in detail why certain things should be done, and how they can be achieved.  

"Alan is calm, patient, reliable, good at explaining things and easy to talk to." - Karen Benton, Rayleigh.
