Paul Russell
Sole driving instructor and owner of PDR Automatic Driving School.
Background
After spending a lot of my adult life as an accountant I decided it was time for a career change.
​
As with many people Covid allowed me to reassess my life. I decided I needed to achieve a better all round work /
life balance. I have always wanted to go down the route of being self-employed and having had well over 30 years driving experience I decided becoming a driving instructor was the ideal next step for me and my career.
​
After undergoing all of the necessary training I started teaching in a manual car for the first 9 months before deciding to switch to teaching automatic full time.
​
I pride myself on giving detailed targeted lessons to my pupils ensuring they get the most out of each lesson.
​
After the stresses I had being an accountant, becoming a driving instructor is like a breath of fresh air.
