How lessons help when you are nervous

A dual-control car. The instructor has a brake of his own, which gives you room to learn without fear of a mistake.
Start gently. Tell Mahdi where you feel comfortable and the first lessons begin there, then move to busier roads when you feel ready.
Your language. Instructions in English, French or Arabic, so you are not translating while you drive.
One skill at a time. Write in your booking notes what you want to work on (for example parking, intersections or highway) and the lessons follow it.
Short lessons if you prefer. Private lessons start at 1 hour, so you can begin small.

What to do before the first lesson

When you book, write in the notes that you feel nervous and what worries you most (traffic, highway, parking, the test). That way the first lesson starts where you need it to. Bring your licence, wear comfortable shoes and arrive rested.
