Gav Kendall
A little bit about me:
I’ve lived in and around Portsmouth all my life, so I know the area well. I have a grown-up daughter who I enjoy spending time with, usually at the cinema or curry house! I love jazz music and classic cars, and can while away many an hour listening to Jazz FM while browsing classic cars on eBay. I also enjoy dinner out with friends and the odd car show when one presents itself.
My entire career has been focused on cars and vehicles. I worked in the motor trade for many years and have 12 years’ experience of driving artic lorries. Once you’ve manoeuvred one of those down a single track lane, every other driving task seems easy!
Over the last three years I’ve been teaching friends to drive. I really enjoyed it and was good at it too, so I decided to become an instructor full time. I got in touch with driving-pro and with their help and a lot of swotting up, I passed my exams and qualified as an instructor. I now look forward to meeting new people and helping them learn how to drive and be safe on the roads.
My Car:

Gav’s car so you know what to watch for on the first lesson.
I drive a white Ford Fiesta Zetec registration number GJK 86 so you know what to look.
Reviews:
BEST DRIVING SCHOOL IN PORTSMOUTH!! Highly and extremely recommend !! My driving instructor Gav is the best of the best! I passed First time, through the pandemic he supported me through my theory test and my practical ! Couldn’t thank him enough !!! Daniela
could not recommend enough, I have had multiple driving instructors, and never seemed to get anywhere, since learning with driving pro I passed first time. Gav was my driving instructor, loveliest man and was definitely a pleasure to be taught by him. If you’re thinking about learning to drive with driving pro, 100% do it I don’t think I would be driving without them! Cerys
