Manual driving lessons in Loughborough that move at the right pace for you.
Learn with Trish O’Malley, a fully qualified DVSA Approved Driving Instructor providing calm, one-to-one manual tuition across Loughborough and surrounding villages.
Choose enough time to make useful progress.
The best lesson length depends on your location, experience and how you learn. Trish can help you choose without pushing you into more time than is useful.
Focused lesson
A practical option for regular local tuition or concentrating on a clearly defined skill.
More time to settle in
Allows a longer period behind the wheel and more time to connect several areas of practice.
Extended practice
Useful when extra travel or a wider range of roads and situations would make the session more productive.
Ask about the options that suit your schedule.
Message Trish for current lesson rates and ask whether a block-booking option could help you reserve several lessons and save money. Include your postcode so she can also check that the lesson length is practical for your collection point.
Clear direction without feeling constantly under pressure.
You should understand what you are practising, why it matters and what needs attention next.
Trish combines explanation, guided practice and straightforward feedback. As a skill becomes more reliable, her support is reduced so that you learn to read the road and make safe decisions for yourself.
Your starting point does not have to match anyone else’s.
The route forward changes from learner to learner, but the standard remains the same: safe, consistent and increasingly independent driving.
Complete beginners
Build the fundamentals carefully before moving into busier or more demanding road situations.
Nervous learners
Learn in a calm environment where questions are welcome and mistakes provide useful information.
Changing instructors
Continue from your present ability, with time to recognise what is already working and what needs attention.

Do you provide manual or automatic lessons?
O’Malleys Driving School currently provides manual driving tuition only.
Which lesson length should I choose?
It depends on your location, experience, concentration and learning schedule. Send Trish your postcode and a little about your driving experience, and she can help you choose between 60, 90 and 120 minutes.
How many lessons will I need?
There is no honest fixed answer before seeing how you drive. Trish will review your progress with you and help you understand which areas still need work.
Can I change to Trish from another instructor?
Yes. You will not automatically be taken back to the beginning. Trish can establish your present level and plan from there.
Ready to discuss your first lesson?
Send your postcode, driving experience and usual availability. Trish can then confirm coverage, current rates, any suitable block-booking options and whether she has space.
