ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Gavin Buchanan,
your local
Driving Instructor.
I'm here to help
you succeed!
I’ve been driving since I was 15. I've held my private pilot licence, forklift licence and driven all classes of truck licence (class 1-5 + Dangerous Goods) at a professional level. This picture was the day I decided to experience another very exciting mode of transport - parachute!
As a Driving Instructor coming from a Testing Officer background, I'll share my in depth knowledge of what’s expected during your test during your driving lessons. I can help you learn to drive with driving lessons in several locations around Thames/Coromandel and Hauraki.
I teach driving courses such as AA Defensive Driving courses , Learner Licence Courses and also provide Defensive Driving for Fleet and Business customers.
My goal is to help you succeed to learn to drive safely and to get your driver licence.
Changing from a Testing Officer to a Driving Instructor means I learnt a lot about why some people pass and some people don’t.
One of the things I enjoy the most is helping others and seeing them fulfill their dreams. So watching people fail was not what I wanted to do, which is why I "changed my spots"!
As a Testing Officer, you're not allowed to intervene or give correction during a test, or it becomes a failed test. So you have to let the person make mistakes and let them fail.
As a Driving Instructor, I give you corrective advice and show you the right way.
If we make a mistake, we stop and discuss what went wrong and try again.
