Belt Up Driving School

Nick Jones ADI


I am an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) working under the Belt Up Driving School Umbrella. My aim is, not just to teach pupils to pass their driving test, but to give them the ability and knowledge that will take them safely through their whole driving life.

I have a very patient and calm manner, that will put the pupil at ease from their first lesson and my enthusiasm for driving and learning is infectious!
I teach in a Mazda 3, which is an amazing modern car to drive, take a look at the photos. I use the Tom Tom Start 52 Sat Nav which is the model the DVLA use for the Driving Test.
I provide a feedback log at the end of every lesson, so the pupil can track their progress.
With Belt Up we provide free access to Theory Test Pro to help pupils study for the Theory Test.

If you are ready to get behind the wheel contact me on

07896462335

For lessons in the Ivybridge, Plympton, Plymouth areas.

I would definitely recommend Nick as a driving instructor. Nick was kind, patient, and adapted his teaching style for my way of learning which was so helpful! Driving was not something that I picked up very easily, and I easily forgot a lot of the things we covered - so I really appreciated his patience and willingness to go over things as much as I needed to.
