Driving Lessons | Stratford Upon Avon

Scott Gibbins is the founder and driving instructor behind Big Cat Driving School, bringing a professional, fun, calm and patient approach to every lesson. Scott wants learning to drive to be enjoyable and not daunting, which is why his teaching style is centred around building confidence, clear communication and steady progress at a pace that suits each individual student.

With a strong focus on building knowledge and safe, real-world driving skills, Scott tailors every lesson to the learner’s ability and goals. Whether you are a complete beginner, a nervous driver, returning to driving after a break, or preparing for your test, Scott takes the time to explain not just how to drive, but why certain decisions matter on the road. This approach helps learners become confident, independent drivers rather than simply learning routes for a test.

Scott delivers lessons exclusively in an automatic, fully electric Jaguar I-Pace, fitted with dual controls for reassurance and safety. The smooth, quiet nature of the vehicle allows learners to focus fully on observation, road positioning and hazard awareness without the distraction of gear changes. It also reflects Scott’s forward-thinking approach and commitment to modern, environmentally conscious driving.

Known for his friendly, approachable manner, Scott creates a relaxed learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and learning from mistakes. He believes that confidence is just as important as technical ability, and works hard to ensure every student leaves their lessons feeling positive and capable.

Based in Stratford-upon-Avon, Scott works with learners across the local area, offering flexible lesson times to fit around work, education and family life. His goal is simple: to help every student become a safe, confident driver for life.
