Become a Driving Instructor

Are you interested in becoming a driving instructor? Find out more on our driving instructor training page or get in touch to talk to us directly.

Below you can see our team of driving instructors.

Benn Hibbert

We are very pleased to have Benn on board. He transferred from another driving school late summer 2010 because he felt dissatisfied with the service he was getting from them. With over seven years manual experience he settled into our routine very quickly and has established himself with many successful test candidates since joining our team.

Benn lives in Chessington with his wife Sarah and instructs from Leatherhead to Kingston and the local area. He is always willing to help other instructors if they can’t cover a test and is prepared to go out of his way to assist his pupils. We are pleased indeed for Benn’s professional approach to our industry.

Benn is very interested in the Air Cadets, Hinchley Wood, but that does not stop him being available during unsociable hours.

Mike Walsh

Mike is an old hand as a driving instructor, teaching hundreds of new drivers since qualifying back in the nineties. Most of his instructing has been with the AA, but 2010 was the year he decided Hamilton was the way forward. His experience is a great addition to our team and I hope he continues his successful career under our banner.

Mike has a very easy-going manner and can put any nervous driver at ease. He is married to Stephanie and with their young daughter lives in Epsom. From Epsom Mike is able to service as far as Kingston-Upon-Thames and the areas within. Some evenings and weekends are inevitable in this profession and he is able to fit around his pupils to suit their times.

You will benefit from my 32 years’ experience.

Zoran

It’s great to have Zoran on board. He lives in Thames Ditton and covers all local areas in an automatic car. Zoran joined us from another local driving school in May 2011.

He has a grade “A” and over twenty years’ of experience as a fully qualified driving instructor. It’s very helpful having a lot of teaching experience including as a qualified teacher as he used to teach ICT. He prefers working on a one to one basis, away from the restrictions of a class room and emphasises structured training to all his pupils.

Success comes with his conscientious approach to teaching and a high test pass rate is not a suprise.
His pupils also like his patience and a sense of humour, so lessons can be fun and productive at the same time.

Mat Rollason

Mat joined us in October 2012 and has already proved himself with a number of successful test passes. He is a great addition to our driving school with many years experience in the local area. Mat lives with his family in West Molesey and is very central to the areas we cover. He teaches driving lessons in both manual and automatic and has the flexibility to match the demands of his new drivers. He is also willing to cover a wide area and work unsociable hours so it is great to have him on board. Mat is used to running his own school so let us hope our support will convince him to stay with us for the longer term.

Phil Hipson

Phil is a new instructor to Hamilton School of Motoring but not to teaching, having been an instructor for some 45 years. Phil has been working on his own as an independent instructor for some years but is now looking for the support of a local driving school and lucky for us – he chose Hamilton and started early April 2013. Already Phil has passes with us and we are looking forward to a great working relationship.

Phil lives in Morden with his wife and covers all areas from Wimbledon to Kingston and to Sutton. Phil is willing to teach at the hours to suit his pupils and together with his kind manner and experience is a must for those starting out on the experience of learning to drive.

Lipon Ashraf

His addition to our fold will be a great advantage to both him and our pupils and this is already proving the case with a number of successful tests coming through.

I have worked and lived in the Surbiton area since the year of 2000.This in depth knowledge of the local area means I am more able to provide you with valuable experience driving on various road conditions. I believe in learning through experience, so you will spend the majority of lesson time learning the fundamentals of driving with the aim of passing your test as quickly as possible.
