A Bit About Me

Hi, I’m Amanda – Founder of Pandas Pedals

Driving isn’t just about passing a test — it’s about building confidence, independence, and lifelong safe habits behind the wheel.

I created Panda’s Pedals to offer the learning environment I truly believe every learner deserves. Calm, structured driving lessons designed to support learners at every stage of their journey. Whether you’re completely new to driving or feeling nervous about getting started, my goal is to make every lesson feel clear, manageable, and encouraging and yes... even fun.

The Approach

Learning to drive can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be.

My lessons are built around:

✔ A clear, step-by-step structure so you always know what you’re working on

✔ Patience and calm communication — no pressure, no shouting

✔ Honest, constructive feedback to help you improve quickly

✔ Lessons tailored to your pace and confidence level

✔️ Having fun and enjoying  your driving learning journey

Everyone learns differently, and I adapt my teaching style to suit you. Some learners need reassurance. Others prefer direct challenges. Together, we’ll find what works best.

Supporting Nervous & First-Time Drivers

Many learners come to me feeling anxious or unsure about driving. That’s completely normal.

I take pride in creating a relaxed learning environment where mistakes are treated as learning opportunities — not failures. Building confidence is just as important as building skill, and both develop over time with the right guidance.

By focusing on steady progress and consistent practice, you’ll begin to feel more comfortable and capable with each lesson.

Qualifications & Standards

As a DVSA-qualified driving instructor, I’m committed to maintaining high teaching standards and staying up to date with best practices.

Safety, professionalism, and reliability are at the heart of what I do. When you book a lesson with Panda's Pedals, you can expect punctuality, preparation, and full focus on your development as a driver.

More Than Just Passing

Of course, passing your driving test is a huge milestone — and we’ll work thoroughly to prepare you for it.

But my real aim is bigger than that.

I want you to:

✔️ Feel calm driving independently

✔️ Handle real-world situations confidently

✔️ Make safe decisions under pressure

✔️ Enjoy the freedom driving brings

✔️ Have fun while learning

Passing the test is the goal. Becoming a safe, confident driver for life is the mission.

Steady Steps. Big Smiles. Test Passes.
