Episode Theme:
Stepping into the learner’s role to sharpen your instructor skills, and practical tactics for easing driving-related anxiety.
Why Play Learner?
Gain fresh perspective on your own training style
Spot best (and worst) teaching habits to adopt or ditch
Try something outside your comfort zone—gym theory, workshops, etc.
On-the-Move vs Pullover Corrections:
If safe and the student can process, correct as you go
If they’re distracted or the situation is complex, pull over for focused feedback
Proactive Support Level:
Give clear options (“I’ll prompt you for the next three starts…”) instead of “Jump in if I’m wrong”
Use scales or student-chosen checkpoints to quantify confidence
Managing Driving Anxiety (3 Pillars):

Quick Wins:
Reframe “anxiety” as “uncomfortable” for more control
Use scaling (1 = Zen guru…10 = straightjacket) to track progress
Offer word banks or flash-cards to help students label feelings
Takeaway:
Continual CPD gives you a toolbox of techniques—mix and match them to meet each learner’s needs.
