Gareth Price is a co-founder of Mini Drive. He has been instructing for 9 years and has built a reputation for having a friendly and patient approach. His calm and informative attitude towards instructing has put many nervous and bewildered pupils at ease. Gareth's philosophy is to give clear explanations in plain English so that the pupil can understand how and why we drive the way we do, thus developing their driving skills so that they can go into the driving test with confidence.

Many of Gareth's Pupils pass first time, and because of this gets many of his pupils from referals. He is always willing to take on new pupils young or old, male or female, nervous or confident, novice or experienced. As well as being a co-owner of Mini Drive, Gareth has also been a member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists for the last 6 years. He has a wealth of experience having driven all over the U.K. and in Europe in his occupation as an Engineer prior to becoming an instructor.

Gareth's mini of choice is the Mini Cooper D. It has a 1.6 turbo diesel engine which provides an excellent platform for both learners and advanced drivers to improve their skills. The forgiveness of the
diesel engine at low revs makes it harder to stall than its petrol counterparts and so is well suited to teaching absolute beginners, yet its power and acceleration at higher revs allows even the most experienced drivers a smooth and progressive drive.
