Hi, I'm Kirsty, the owner and principal driving instructor at Pullinger School of Motoring. I passed my own driving test over 30 years ago, and I have dedicated my career to coaching local learners to become safe, confident drivers for life.
Before launching my driving school, I spent years working full-time as a professional delivery driver. Navigating thousands of miles on the UK road network taught me firsthand how critical it is to understand vehicle limitations, anticipate hidden hazards, and practice defensive driving. Today, I pass that vital road-safety knowledge directly to my students.
Driving anxiety is incredibly common, and my car is a completely judgment-free zone. I specialise in tailored, patient coaching formats designed specifically for anxious and nervous learners, ADHD & autistic students, and learners with Special Educational Needs (SEN).

Read real feedback from local learners who built their driving confidence and passed their practical tests with Pullinger School of Motoring.
Kirsty took the time to understand exactly what made me nervous behind the wheel and built each lesson around it. I went from dreading roundabouts to feeling completely in control.
After two previous fails with other instructors, Kirsty's patience made all the difference. She never rushed me and always explained things in a way that finally clicked.
I'm autistic and was worried about finding an instructor who'd understand my pace. Kirsty was brilliant—calm, consistent, and never once made me feel rushed or judged.
My driving anxiety was pretty bad before I started, but Kirsty's calm approach turned every lesson into a confidence-builder. Passed first time thanks to her.
Pullinger School of Motoring covers Tamworth, Lichfield, and the surrounding villages, with lesson routes built around the local roads, roundabouts, and test centre your practical test will actually use.
