Meet the Instructors - Jenny's Story

Hello my name is Jenny,

I orginally trained to be a PE teacher at Manchester Metropolitan university. I decided very early on that teaching in a school was not for me, I saw an advertisement in a newspaper to train as a driving instructor, and I have not looked back since.

In 2005, Beverly asked me to join her, at the time there were only 3 driving instructors. I remember being very nervous about the huge change I was making, but very confident that my teaching ability would get me through. Beverly has helped me so much, and I am grateful.

I have now been a driving instructor for 5 years and have seen Beverly Slater School of Motoring expand dramatically especially over the last 2 years, to date there are 16 driving instructors. Beverly has maintained her commitment to helping and supporting the Instructors and the pupils, maintaining the high standards and quality we had in the early days.

I would not change my job, its great, you get to meet a lot of different and interesting people, all with different personalities, but they all have one thing in common - they want to learn a new life changing skill. Helping people achieve this is very rewarding. As well as teaching learner drivers, I am now training potential driving instructors. This is another huge challenge for me, which I am enjoying very much.

Outside work I do alot of sport. I play hockey at the weekend and go to the gym during the week. I also do kickboxing where I have achieved brown belt up to date.
