# Ridings School of Motoring
Ridings School of Motoring is an established driving school serving Newark and the wider North Nottinghamshire area. With over 25 years of experience, they provide professional one-to-one driving tuition to learner drivers of all abilities, from nervous beginners to confident drivers seeking refresher courses.
The school distinguishes itself through consistently high first-time pass rates, achieved by tailoring lessons to individual learning styles and paces. Unlike larger chains, Ridings operates as a local business with competitive pricing—lessons start from £32.50 per hour—and they deliberately avoid car-sharing arrangements between pupils. All instruction takes place in modern, dual-controlled vehicles with qualified ADI instructors.
Their approach balances professionalism with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, recognising that learners have different needs and confidence levels. Rather than pushing unnecessary lessons, instructors encourage progression at appropriate intervals and apply for test dates when pupils are genuinely ready. This philosophy has resulted in thousands of successful learners.
Beyond practical tuition, Ridings provides comprehensive support including theory study assistance, free mock theory tests, and mock practical driving tests to prepare students for their actual examination. They offer motorway tuition, intensive courses with discounts, Pass Plus qualifications, and driver assessments. Vouchers are available for gift-giving, and the school operates extended hours, taking calls until 9pm.
