# DriveWize Driving Lessons
DriveWize Driving Lessons is a specialist manual driving instruction business based in Bishop's Stortford, serving learners across Bury St Edmunds and surrounding areas. Founded in 2024 by David Walsom, a Grade A instructor with 23 years' experience as a London Black Cab driver, the company offers a refreshingly focused approach to driver training.
Unlike generalist driving schools, DriveWize exclusively teaches manual transmission vehicles. This specialisation allows instructors to provide in-depth training on gear-changing techniques, clutch control, and vehicle mastery that automatic lessons simply cannot replicate. The business caters to complete beginners through to learners preparing for their practical test, with a philosophy centred on building genuine driving competence rather than merely teaching test-passing techniques.
What sets DriveWize apart is their commitment to personalised, structured tuition tailored to each learner's pace and abilities. Lessons progress systematically through skill-building stages, incorporating mock tests and detailed feedback to ensure test readiness. David Walsom's background in professional London taxi driving brings practical real-world experience that extends beyond standard instructor training.
The business operates Monday to Saturday (closed Sundays), with extended weekday hours until 18:00, making lessons accessible for working learners. Their straightforward positioning—manual-only instruction delivered by an experienced, Grade A instructor—appeals to serious learners who value expertise and focused development over convenience.
