# Technique Driving School
Technique Driving School is a DVSA-approved driving instruction service operating across St Albans, Harpenden, and Hatfield. Run by Mike Dixon, a Grade A instructor with over 15 years of experience since 2009, the school specialises in tailored driving tuition for learners at all stages.
The business serves absolute beginners preparing for their driving test, experienced drivers seeking refresher courses after time away from driving, and confident motorists wanting to develop advanced motorway skills. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach, Mike designs each lesson around the individual's pace, learning style, and specific needs.
What sets Technique Driving School apart is Mike's commitment to creating a relaxed, pressure-free learning environment where pupils feel genuinely supported. His teaching methodology combines clear verbal explanations with visual techniques, structured progression, and honest feedback. He meticulously tracks mistakes across lessons to ensure they're properly resolved before moving forward. Testimonials consistently highlight his patient demeanour, thorough explanations, and genuine care for developing safe, confident drivers rather than simply coaching test techniques.
The school's approach has delivered measurable results, with pupils regularly passing first time and praising Mike's ability to make complex manoeuvres understandable. His personable teaching style—even making light of inevitable stalling—removes the anxiety typically associated with learning to drive, making the experience genuinely enjoyable whilst maintaining rigorous safety standards.
