What My Students Say

Evolution Driver Training are absolutely amazing. Steve was my driving instructor for the last 6 months and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The training and support provided was top notch and Steve was a very attentive and patient instructor. I am a nervous driver at the best of times and Steve was able to keep me calm and collected at all times, and I never felt anything other than nurtured and supported throughout my learning. If you are looking for a friendly, patient and premium driving experience, Evolution Driver Training is exactly what you are looking for. I am happily passed and ready to hit the road now and it's all thanks to Steve

Steve was an excellent driving instructor, he ensured I was secure and confident with my driving before I attempted a test and am very glad he did this as I now feel much more confident with my driving ability than if I had taken a test when I was much less proficient driver. I passed first time!Steve was always very friendly and attentive, patiently supporting me when I made progress as well as I made mistakes. He was very careful to ensure I was driving as well as I could and I really appreciated his suggestions and instructions, as well as his explanations, which were thorough. I understand cars in general a lot better now, as well as driving. I am very glad I chose Steve to teach me how to drive as I now feel I am a confident, careful and safe driver. Thank you!

As well as being very friendly and approachable, Steve is extremely patient. Steve has extremely good teaching skills meaning that whenever I was having any issues, he would not only find ways to explain things that made sense to me but also addressed the root cause of the problem. I feel that he taught me to be a safe driver and not just how to pass my driving test. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone that is looking for an excellent reliable driving instructor!

Steve was an excellent instructor. He taught me to think of every possibility whilst on the road. He put more emphasis on being a good driver than just passing the test. This meant I was well prepared for the test and I even passed first time. Thanks Steve!

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!After having a bad experience with one of the driving schools, I found Steve. He is a professional and friendly instructor. He has a calm demeanour and made me feel at ease while learning. Steve is well organised, very accommodating when booking times for lessons and he is always on time if not early. I know many people have had bad experiences with branded driving schools and switched to Steve halfway through. Save money, time, hassle, and go with Steve Hull from the start! His rates are very reasonable for the high quality of teaching and services delivered.I strongly recommend Steve to any learners, young or old. You are in safe hands!

Steve is an amazing guy. Considering I needed lessons extremely short notice, he was very helpful and understanding. Taught me so much in the short time I was with him. If you need an easy pass, he'll get you through it.

Steve is a fantastic driving instructor, who is calm, patient and gives wonderfully clear explanations. I'm a particularly nervous person, but he managed to always put me at ease. I had previously worked with other instructors and failed the test, but Steve built my confidence and skill enough to pass (at nine months pregnant!) I really can't recommend him highly enough.

Massive thanks to Steve for teaching my daughter to drive.Communication has always been brilliant and he's been so patient and flexible with lesson times and days. Feedback on her driving throughout has been hugely reassuring and helpful when I've been supporting her to practice.In her own words "Steve has just been the best, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else teaching me". In just a few months she has transformed from a bit of nervous wreck about driving to a safe and confident driver, passing first time with only 4 minors. AMAZING!!! Highly recommended!!

Evolution driving is without a doubt one of the best in Norwich. Steve was a very attentive, patient instructor who constantly made me feel reassured and in control. There is no way I would’ve passed first time without him and I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive in a safe, supportive environment.

Norwich Driving Instructor Steve Hull

Meet Your Driving Instructor

I’m Steve Hull, a fully qualified, DVSA approved driving instructor in Norwich, providing driving lessons and driver training across the city and surrounding areas for the past 12 years.

If you are looking for a highly recommended driving instructor with a reputation for providing quality driving lessons in Norwich, then look no further!

I cover a 10-mile radius including, but not limited to; Hellesdon, Taverham, Thorpe Marriot, Drayton, Horsford, Old Catton, Sprowston, Thorpe, Lakenham, Eaton, Cringleford, Earlham, Bowthorpe and Costessey.

Just as you would at any driving school in Norwich, you’ll learn how to safely navigate city roads as well as the dual carriageways and rural roads.

Your driving lessons will be tailored specifically to your needs, enabling you to develop your skills to an excellent standard and build your confidence in a relaxed environment.

You can rest easy knowing that you are with someone honest and trustworthy, working with you to achieve your goals, whatever they may be. From novice learners to refresher driving lessons, we’ll work together to create a plan that suits you.

All ages and abilities are welcome.

What Training Is Offered

If you have no particular deadline for getting your driving licence, then for most people, regular driving lessons at a time that fits your schedule is the most effective way of learning to drive.  The training is done at a pace to suit your needs and tailored specifically to you, as an individual. Having spoken to plenty of students to find out what they want from a driving school in Norwich, I know this is a popular choice and I strive to ensure this happens when learning with Evolution Driver Training.

I am often asked what is the best way of doing driving lessons?  In my opinion, it would be doing two or three driving lessons per week and if possible backing this up with additional private practise. By going out to drive as regularly as possible, you’ll find yourself building confidence at a good pace and will feel far more prepared ahead of your eventual driving test.

The short gaps between each session, will give you time to reflect on what has been learnt and to give you a good amount of time to assess your own performance.  This is very important and will make a big difference to how successful your training is.

Some people choose to do a single driving lesson each week.  However you choose to do it, you can rest assured that with Evolution Driver Training we will work together to achieve your goals and deliver a professional service at a competitive price. Ultimately,  Evolution Driver Training wants happy customers and happy drivers!

Intensive driving courses can be done over a short period of time, typically over a few weeks.  Ideally, you will have passed your theory test before commencing these kinds of driving lessons.  One of the main reasons for this is so that you have a head-start in your general understanding of driving on the roads, including knowledge of road signs and different road junctions. This kind of knowledge is invaluable when it comes to driving for the first time.

If you are looking around at a driving school in Norwich with a view to doing your driving lessons as an intensive course, I would strongly advise checking exactly what the course consists of.

It’s really important that you take the time to understand the full scale of what’s on offer as some companies who claim to specialise in intensive courses will only give you a very limited amount of time actually driving on the roads, believe it or not!

Some driving instructors in Norwich who offer intensive courses will also allocate some of the hours you pre-pay for to be spent in a classroom revising for the theory test.  This is not the case with Evolution Driver Training, so you can be confident that the number of hours quoted for will be spent in the car and out on the roads, which is so much more fun!

Some people pass their driving test and don’t actually get a car straight away, which can lead to a lack of confidence in driving.  Some people may also have been driving for years but have had a bad experience which has affected their ability to drive with confidence and without fear. By attending some driver refresher training courses, it’s possible for these drivers to regain their confidence and get back on the road.

Whatever the reason for taking refresher training courses, Evolution Driver Training can help you become that confident driver that we’re all capable of being. Working together in a calm, relaxed environment we can set your goals and work out a plan moving forward.

Refresher driving courses are also a great solution if you find that certain aspects of driving leave you feeling a little anxious. It might be a few maneuvers that you want to work on, or it  may even be something very particular like being able to do that dreaded parallel parking in a narrow street! Whatever it is, Evolution Driver Training has experience in helping lots of different people from all backgrounds and ages achieve their driving goals.  So feel free to get in touch for an informal chat and we can go from there.

Full driving theory test training is included as part of the service when you book driving lessons with Evolution Driver Training. You will be provided with unlimited access to online material, which includes practise questions and mock tests, as well as a selection of useful hazard perception videos.

This training is something you can do outside of the practical driving lessons, which will maximise the amount of time you get to practise your driving.  Be aware, however, that throughout your time of learning, support will be provided and, if necessary, we can look at your theory training during the driving lesson if you choose to. This reason for doing this is simple: I want to be recommended as one of the best driving instructors in Norwich and realise that to do this, I need to make sure those learning with me get everything they need to gain the confidence they require to pass their driving test!

Driving Lesson Pricing

How many driving lessons do I need?

Ah the million dollar question! It is very hard to predict how many driving lessons you will need because every individual is different. Some will learn to drive quicker than others and some people find themselves growing in confidence at a faster pace. However, research from DVSA shows that on average, people who take approximately 45 hours of professional training combined with plenty of private practice, stand the best chance of passing their driving test and becoming a safe driver for life.

One thing I can say is that you will always get honesty from me in regards to this side of things. The way I see it is if I can do a good job of teaching you to drive safely, to a good standard and do that within a reasonable number of driving lessons, then hopefully you will recommend me to friends and family as one of the best driving instructors in Norwich!

I have no reason to make you do more driving lessons than is necessary to reach a good level of driving. 

There are actually things you can do to yourself enhance your learning and to speed up your progress.  This will save you money and we can talk about this when you book your driving lessons!

Driving lesson prices:  £60.00 for 1.5 hour driving lesson and £80.00 for 2 hour driving lesson

About The Car

All of my training is currently delivered in a Volvo V40.  It is clean, tidy and comfortable to drive around all types of roads.

Perhaps the best aspect of the Volvo is that for a relatively small car it actually feels very spacious and safe to be in.  As a car manufacturer, Volvo has a well deserved reputation amongst driving schools in Norwich and the wider world for leading the way when it comes to safety.  This is great for those who may be a little nervous on their first driving lessons and want that extra bit of confidence to get them learning!

The car has dual-controls fitted to ensure your safety during the driving lessons and enable you to relax knowing that you’ve chosen to learn with one of the driving instructors in Norwich who has everything under full control.  It has a clear and simple display panel, which helps to make things easier, particularly at the all-important early stages of learning how to drive the car. Ultimately, the car you will be learning in is safe and superbly maintained to ensure that you enjoy your learning experience.
