Meet Your Instructor

Meet Kirsty Smith: Female Driving Instructor in Tamworth

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.

Every lesson is one-to-one, so your hour on the road is spent entirely on the skills you personally need to work on—never shared with another learner. Whether you're starting from scratch, coming back after a break, or brushing up before your test, lessons are paced around you.

A Safe, Inclusive Space for Nervous & Neurodiverse Learners

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).
