Direct Drive Hub · Since 2015
Experienced instructors. A personal approach.
We are Duncan and Steve. Together, we help learners across North Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire build the confidence and skills to drive independently.
Duncan brings 30 years of experience as a DVSA approved driving instructor to manual lessons around Barton upon Humber. Steve has been teaching since 1999 and provides automatic tuition in Beverley, Hull and the surrounding areas.
Your lessons are a team effort. We listen to what you want to achieve, recognise what you can already do and agree the next steps together. Clear explanations, questions and time to practise help you understand your decisions behind the wheel.
Our approach
More than just passing your test.
“The destination is the same for everyone learning to drive, but the route they take will always depend on them.”
We do not believe in a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach. We listen, ask questions and build a learning plan around your experience, confidence and goals.
As your skills and confidence grow, our guidance reduces — helping you become a driver who can think, decide and drive independently.
Feeling anxious or finding some parts of learning difficult? Tell us. We can adapt our explanations, pace and approach to support you.
Your starting point
Wherever you are on your journey.
You bring your experience. We help you find the next step.
New to driving?
Start with a friendly introduction to the car and its controls. Build your skills step by step, with time to ask questions and practise.
Already had lessons?
A relaxed assessment drive helps us understand what you can already do. Together, we plan your next steps without repeating skills you have mastered.
Had a test setback?
Talk through your experience, rebuild confidence and work on the areas that need attention, with a clear plan for moving forward.
Returning to driving?
Refresher and motorway lessons can help you feel more comfortable behind the wheel. Sessions are tailored to your needs, experience and goals.
Confidence beyond the test
Get comfortable behind the wheel again.
Returning after a break, planning a motorway journey or looking to build confidence on everyday roads? Our refresher and motorway sessions start with a conversation about what you need.
A relaxed assessment drive helps us agree a practical plan. We tailor the pace and practice to your experience and goals, so you can focus on the driving that matters to you.
