Hi, I’m Nick Darani – the man behind Papa Nick’s Driving School!
I’m a local driving instructor in Peterborough with over 25 years as a professional driver. My driving lessons are great for people who want to build confidence on the road quickly. I’ve helped hundreds of students just like you, learn how to drive and pass their test with a smile!
My goal as an instructor is to help learner drivers become the best they can be behind the steering wheel. Which is why my driving lessons are completely catered to your standard.

I offer driving lessons in single hour lessons, two-hour lessons or bulk packages. All lessons come with a pre-and-post briefing in the car. Most driving instructors should take the time to understand what you found challenging so that your driving lessons are structured around you.

Common questions about lessons
We want to make sure you become the best driver you can be! So, before you consider booking lessons, it’s important you understand everything you can about driving courses, driving lessons and, driving instructors.
Will my lessons be in a manual or an automatic?
We believe that driving with a manual gearbox gives you more options in the future. An automatic car can limit your driving experience and knowledge. If you start with a manual and decide to change your choice in time, you can easily transition to an automatic!
Will you help me with my theory?
Your theory test is equally as important as driving. Understanding the rules of the road will save you time in the future. We offer in-car theory training at the end or start of our hour together. If you’re unfamiliar with where you can take your theory test make sure you check out the Gov site.
I’m nervous when driving, does that matter?
I think it’s fair to say that most first-time drivers are a little nervous. It’s completely natural. Peterborough can be a busy place but, the time will fly by with us and we’ll make sure you remain safe at all times. We’ll take it at your pace and you can pick what you’d like to learn during your driving lesson.
If it’s more comfortable for you, I recommend you book bulk hours rather than single lessons.
Is driving a car difficult?
Of course, when you first get into a car, it can be a little overwhelming! But that’s what I’m here for! I’ve been driving for over 30 years which means I can offer expert advice to help you pass your test in no time!

Driving with confidence
Driving instructors should build your confidence every time you learn to drive. My method of teaching is great for anxious or nervous first-time drivers. The training you’ll get from my driving school is always consistent and you’ll never feel rushed or pressured.
You’ll learn the test routes, the most common manoeuvres, how to use your gears and clutch like a professional and so much more in your driving lessons.
Remember they’re your lessons. It’s as much your responsibility as mine as the driving instructor to offer you the best experience.
Pass your test in Peterborough
Peterborough has an average pass rate of 48% according to the DVSA. However, on average the learners, I teach have a pass rate of 95%! That means you’re more likely to pass your test with me than any other instructors!
A fully-qualified instructor
To offer driving lessons, all instructors must be ADI qualified. You can always check if instructors have the right qualifications by asking to see their ADI badge at the start of your lesson. I also hold one of the highest ratings as an instructor with a grade of A+.
Learn at your own pace
I’ve already said that my driving school was started to help people bring fun into learning how to drive. It’s what makes being a driving instructor so much fun! I enjoy training learner drivers no matter what pace our lessons go. It’s about you feeling comfortable first before anything else.
