# Somerby Driving School
Somerby Driving School is an independent driving instruction business based in Grantham, established in 1984. Led by principal Nigel R Truman, an ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) with DVSA accreditation, the school has built an enviable reputation for driving test success over four decades.
The business serves learner drivers throughout the Grantham area who are preparing for their practical driving tests. Nigel works with students of all ages and abilities, tailoring his teaching style and pace to individual needs. He emphasises both test success and developing safe driving habits for life, encouraging learners to engage in structured private practice between lessons.
What sets Somerby Driving School apart is its combination of established experience, personalised instruction, and modern teaching approach. Nigel began teaching in 2001 and was among the youngest qualified instructors in the country at that time. The school operates a fleet of well-maintained, modern dual-controlled vehicles equipped with power steering, anti-lock brakes, airbags, and air conditioning. Learners also have the option to train in their own vehicles, including automatics. The school actively welcomes parental involvement, inviting parents and friends to observe lessons to support private practice. This collaborative approach to learning, paired with competitive pricing and genuine commitment to each student's development as a safe driver, distinguishes Somerby from larger, chain-based competitors.
