Meet Stephen – Your Automatic Driving Instructor
Hello, I’m Stephen — your local automatic driving instructor.
Before becoming a driving instructor, I worked as a HR Consultant to a large investment bank and I have also run a construction management company. Today I bring that experience, attention to detail and professionalism to help people learn to drive.

You will find me to be a patient, and friendly instructor, and I always adapt my teaching style to suit each individual learner — because everyone learns differently.
If you haven’t passed your theory test yet, I’ll happily support you with that too.
I’m a firm believer in “Safe Driving for Life”, and I take pride in helping my learners become confident, responsible drivers who are ready for today’s busy roads.
I also understand that not everyone is free during the working week, so I do offer some evening and weekend lessons where possible.
Refresher Driving Lessons for Licensed Drivers
If you already hold a full licence but want to rebuild your confidence, I also offer refresher lessons.
Whether you’ve taken a break from driving, recently moved back to the UK, or just want to get comfortable in a new car, I can help.
Refresher lessons can take place in my dual-controlled car or your own car — whichever you prefer.

Steve was the most wonderful instructor. I felt very confident in my driving by the time I passed due to steve’s style of teaching. He is very personable and supportive and exactly what you need in a driving instructor👏👏
Alice
Steve is such an amazing instructor!
After a bad first experience with my first instructor I do feel like he was a god send and what I needed. He is practical and serious about the job but he is also friendly and makes you feel at ease right away. He was so good at making me feel confident enough to get into the roads by myself. 100% would recommend. Driving lessons went from being stressful to enjoyable.
Thank you! Passed now and feeling safe. 👍🏼🫶🏻

I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! Steve was so patient, calm, and supportive from my very first lesson right through to passing my test. They explained everything clearly and always made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel.
Megan
When I met Steve driving was my biggest fear. Steve took me from being a very anxious, shy driver that had never even sat in a drivers seat before and turned me into a confident and capable driver, using his knowledge of driving, patience and ability to make anyone feel comfortable both behind the wheel and in his presence. I can’t thank him enough for giving me the confidence to drive and would recommend him to any learner driver, however experienced they are.

Noor
II had never driven before in my life, and this was my very first driving experience in the UK. From the very first lesson,( STEPHEN BOARD MY INSTRUCTOR ) was incredibly patient, calm, and professional. He explained everything clearly and always made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, even when I made mistakes as a complete beginner.
Every lesson was well structured, supportive, and stress-free, which really helped me improve quickly. Thanks to his excellent teaching and dedication, I passed my driving test today at Chichester Driving Test Centre.
I’m truly grateful for all the support, guidance, and encouragement throughout my learning journey. I highly recommend ( Stephen )to anyone looking for a reliable, patient, and highly skilled driving instructor.

Gemma
I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with Steve B. He is incredibly patient, professional, and really knows how to explain things in a clear and simple way.
What really stands out is how dedicated he is to making sure you fully understand everything, not just to pass the test but to become a safe and capable driver for life. He tailors each lesson to your needs and gives constructive feedback that genuinely helps you improve.
I highly recommend Steve B to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor!
Merthal
I had a great experience learning with Steve. He is very calm, patient, and thorough, which really helped me build confidence as a nervous driver.
What stood out most was his flexibility. With my busy schedule working in healthcare and having two young kids, he was very accommodating—offering late and weekend lessons. I had already booked my test before meeting him, and he helped me adjust it until I was ready.
Thanks to his supportive and relaxed teaching style, I passed the practical exams and now feel confident driving. I’ve even started driving myself to work and taking my kids out, which is a big milestone for me.
I’m very grateful to Steve and would highly recommend him.FIVE TWINKLING STARS!!!!
Jasmine
I passed my test with 1 minor faults, I could have only done that with Steve.
He was such a fun friendly person to have lessons with and would definitely pick him again. He taught me all I needed to know and more.
I’m so grateful to have had an experience learning to drive as I have and will always remember my lessons!
I would and will recommend him to anyone wanting to do automatic!!
Poppy
I passed my test yesterday!! I am truly grateful to Stephen Board for getting me through the last few weeks of learning prior to the “big day”.
He was incredibly relaxed and supportive, easy to talk to and a great instructor. I have had a couple of instructors from other companies prior to Steve who I frankly felt were prolonging the process, but Steve was honest and I am so glad he had availability when I needed him!
I would recommend anyone thinking of learning automatic driving to learn with Steve, he’s great!
