Manual lessons only — and why that's still the right call.
After 9+ years teaching in Poole, Clinton has stayed deliberately manual. A manual licence covers both gearboxes — pass in a manual and you can hire, borrow or buy automatic without retesting. The reverse isn't true. Used manual cars are still cheaper and more plentiful, and the gearbox-skill argument doesn't disappear with EVs. If you specifically need automatic, we'd point you to Calm Driving School — a reputable Poole driving school.

Meet Clinton Pearce
Clinton has called Poole home and taught its learners for over 9 years — long enough to know Broadstone and every test route, roundabout and tricky junction the examiner will use. Fully qualified and DVSA Approved, he's the calm voice in the passenger seat: no shouting, no sighing, no being made to feel stupid for stalling.
Lessons are tailored to you and move at your pace — which is why nervous learners, and drivers with autism, ADHD or other additional support needs, do so well with him. The aim isn't just a pass. It's making you a safe, confident driver for life.

Broadstone has a genuine village feel that makes it a fantastic place to learn to drive without the intensity of Poole’s busier areas. The high street and surrounding residential roads give you a calm environment to develop your core skills, while the connecting routes towards Corfe Mullen and the A349 provide plenty of variety as your confidence grows.
The road layout in Broadstone offers an excellent mix of learning opportunities. You’ll encounter T-junctions, mini-roundabouts, and give-way situations on the residential streets, plus busier roundabouts along Lower Blandford Road and Dunyeats Road. The variety here means you’ll develop well-rounded junction skills without having to travel far between different road types.
One of the real benefits of learning in Broadstone is the exposure to slightly narrower, country-style roads on the outskirts towards Corfe Mullen. These roads develop your anticipation and forward planning — you’ll learn to read the road ahead, position correctly for bends, and deal with oncoming traffic on narrower stretches. These are skills that many learners from purely urban areas miss out on.
Broadstone is around 12 minutes from the Poole test centre, and the route between the two takes you along roads that feature on several test routes. Clinton will work these connecting roads into your lessons naturally, so by the time your test comes around, the drive from Broadstone to the test centre and back feels like second nature.
