Lighthouse Driving Academy

Lighthouse Driving Academy is an independent driving school owned and run by Sonia Poolman ADI. The support I have had from family and friends has been immense.

I am a Red-trained driving instructor and I also enhanced my training by working with the incredible trainers Ged and Claire Wilmot in Manchester. The decision to start an independent academy has turned out to be one of the most positive and exciting times of my life. Without this support I doubt this venture would ever have come about. Learning to drive for a lot of people is a hugely exciting pr

ospect; however, for others it will be a daunting one. Our aim here at the Academy is to be sensitive to everyone’s different needs. We will provide fresh, friendly and approachable tuition which is individually tailored to suit each client. The Academy is very proud to be sponsored by Empowering You Therapies. Fiona Fear is a therapist who employs a range of modern non-invasive therapy methods to help with, amongst many other things, exam and test nerves. (Please read more on the ‘About our sponsor’ page.) Having had first-hand experience of just how effective these types of treatment are, I am so excited to have Fiona on board. I have no doubt that Empowering You Therapies is the perfect choice to run alongside our Driving Academy. Although the two companies are completely separate, I believe that there will be people who feel they may benefit from both.
