# Giles Masterson Driving Instructor
Giles Masterson Driving Instructor is a manual driving school based in Barnstaple, North Devon, serving learner drivers across Ilfracombe, Combe Martin, Braunton and surrounding areas. With nearly two decades of experience since qualifying in 2004, Giles has established himself as a dedicated instructor committed to helping pupils of all ages and abilities achieve their driving test ambitions.
What sets Giles apart is his combination of professional credentials and personalised approach. As a CRB-checked instructor and ROSPA gold level advanced driver, he brings genuine expertise to every lesson. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all methodology, Giles tailors tuition to individual learning needs whilst maintaining a relaxed and friendly atmosphere that puts nervous learners at ease. This balance between high standards and approachable instruction creates an effective learning environment.
The business specialises in manual transmission driving lessons, recognising this remains a valuable skill for UK drivers. Giles is also registered to teach Pass Plus, enabling experienced drivers to further develop their skills beyond the basic test standard. His longevity in the profession—over 18 years—demonstrates both reliability and genuine passion for driver education rather than simply offering a transactional service.
The school appeals to first-time learners seeking structured, supportive tuition and experienced drivers wanting to advance their capabilities. Giles's reputation is built on consistent results and creating confident drivers rather than merely test-focused training.
