Once qualified, you will be eligible for an instructor account on YooDrive. This is the first step for a driving instructor and should include information such as the instructor’s qualifications, experience, and areas of expertise.
Additionally, instructors should also include a photo to allow pupils to put a face to a name and a personal message to prospective pupils. Here you receive unlimited enquiries from the public for driving lessons and you can accept and reject as many as you like and fill up your diary. You are in complete control of your work schedule, meaning your work hours are always flexible and you can work around your family and life commitments.
Once the profile is created, driving instructors will appear in a search for potential pupils in their area. This makes it easy for pupils to find instructors who are a good match for their teaching style, location and availability.
YooDrive also includes a messaging system that allows instructors to communicate with potential pupils and answer any questions they may have. This messaging system also allows the instructor and pupil to schedule lessons and confirm details such as location and time.
Instructors can also take advantage of the “reviews” feature on YooDrive. This feature allows pupils to leave reviews of their experience with the instructor. These reviews can help instructors to build their reputation and establish trust with potential pupils.
In addition, pupils can take advantage of the financial options YooDrive offers, which includes Buy Now Pay Later with Klarna, a Donation capacity from Friends & Family and of course Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay & Google Pay for your Standard Pay As You Go hourly.
This goes some way to alleviate the impending financial difficulty facing some families & indeed, approved instructors worried about people dropping away due to lack of money. This makes learning to drive more accessible for the public and provides consumer security for our ADIs, particularly throughout the current cost of living crisis.
YooDrive is a great platform for driving instructors to find new pupils once they are a qualified ADI. It allows instructors to expand their reach beyond their immediate network of friends and family and find pupils who are a good match for their teaching style and availability. Additionally, the lead generation, messaging, and review features make it easier for instructors to communicate with potential pupils and establish trust with them.
