program is to teach you road safety, not how to stress behind the wheel. So in short, they shouldn’t be.As with any kind of learning, shouting is never the most effective way to reach someone—and it’s not something you should have to put up with from your driving instructor.
Part of driving instructor training is learning how to deliver lessons in a “student-centerd” way, which means delivering effective communication to the student in a way they can understand. Your instructor should adapt their lessons to your skillset and weakness and remain calm throughout your lesson. If they feel as though they have to shout at you to be understood, they aren’t doing their job well.
If you’re consistently dreading going to your driving course because your instructor shouts at you, it may be time to consider a different instructor or a different program altogether.
Once you complete your driving course, the next step is to find insurance to keep you and your vehicle protected. Car insurance super app
