Driving lessons

Hello.
Please can anyone recommend a ( very patient) instructor who will coach me in driving on the right? I moved here four months ago and I really am too nervous to drive as yet. I hold a full UK licence and have done so for 25 years. I just feel it's time I 'got on with it' out here.
Many thanks
Suze.

You have to remember that driveing lessons here are a lot different here than in the UK where they are on a one to one basis . When taught here you will probably have 3 others in the car with you and you all take turnabout , so your 1hr you pay for could only be around 15mins actual driveing.....!!!!!!

Which is a little bit disconcerting if you are a nervous driver trying to get to grips with driveing on the right side of the highway , you need to find a tutor who will teach you on a personal level with no distractions .

That's good information and yet something else I didn't know! Lol. Hopefully there will be someone who will teach me on an individual basis. Not sure I'd cope at all with three strangers in the car. Not yet.

I used to do intercambio with a girl, Mari-angeles, from Algorfa who is a driving instructor.
It may be worth sending her an email.
She would love to have an English person to teach as it would help her with her English.
I'd better not put her email address here, but if interested I can PM you it.
