Helen's Driving School is an independent driving instruction service based in York, run by Helen Homer, a DVSA-licensed Approved Driving Instructor qualified since 2022. The school specialises in manual driving lessons across south York and surrounding villages, including Fulford, Heworth, Tang Hall, Bishopthorpe, Copmanthorpe, Naburn, Heslington, Deighton, Escrick and Wheldrake.
Helen caters to learners at all stages of their driving journey, from complete beginners embarking on their first lessons through to experienced drivers seeking refresher training and confidence-building. Her approach prioritises creating a calm, patient learning environment, with lesson plans tailored to suit each pupil's individual needs and learning pace.

Having worked across retail training, development and coaching, she brings valuable experience in adapting her teaching style to work effectively with diverse age groups and backgrounds.
