DESCRIPTION:https://pdiadi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/supporting-dyslexia-1-1-1.mp4\nA two Hour Live Zoom Workshop  \nYou already know this learner…\n• The one who can drive but keeps forgetting routines\n• The one who mixes up left and right every lesson\n• The one who needs things explained again… and again… and again\nWhat if the problem isn’t your teaching — but how the learner’s brain processes information?\nWhy This Workshop Matters (More Than You Think) \nAround 1 in 5 people are neurodivergent.
That means a significant number of your learners may have dyslexia\, dyspraxia or dyscalculia — whether they’ve told you or not. \nMany learners:\n• Feel embarrassed to disclose it\n• Don’t realise they’re dyslexic or dyspraxic\n• Don’t think it’s relevant to driving\n• Have never been taught in a way that actually works for them\nThe result?\n• Slow progress\n• Frustrated pupils\n• Endless repetition\n• Draining lessons\nThis workshop shows you how to break that cycle. \nWhat You’ll Learn in This 1.5-Hour Zoom Workshop \n🔍 Spot the Indicators Early \nLearn the key signs of dyslexia\, dyspraxia and dyscalculia in driving lessons — even when learners don’t disclose it. \n🧠 Understand What Your Learners Are Really Struggling With \nDiscover the specific challenges neurodivergent pupils face with:\n• Sequencing\n• Coordination\n• Memory\n• Directional awareness\n• Processing speed\nSo you can adapt your teaching without lowering standards. \n🔁 Stop Repeating the MSPSL (or Any Routine) Over and Over \nLearn smarter ways to embed routines so they stick — reducing lesson time spent repeating the same processes. \n⬅️➡️ Finally Fix Left & Right Confusion \nPractical techniques that help learners confidently differentiate left from right — permanently. \n✋👀🎧 Use Multi-Sensory & Accelerated Learning Techniques \nDiscover how to tailor lessons using visual\, verbal\, kinaesthetic and auditory methods that match how each pupil learns. \n🚗 Help Pupils Master Manoeuvres Between Lessons \nReduce the “we did this last week” problem by giving learners tools to practise and retain skills independently. \nThe Results You’ll Notice Fast \n✅ Faster learner progress\n✅ Fewer repeated explanations\n✅ Calmer\, more enjoyable lessons\n✅ More confident pupils\n✅ Higher pass rates\n✅ Increased referrals from satisfied learners\n✅ Renewed enjoyment of teaching\nAnd most importantly — less mental exhaustion for you.  \nWho This Workshop Is For \n✔️ Driving instructors who want to teach more effectively\n✔️ ADIs & PDIs feeling stuck repeating the same content\n✔️ Instructors working with anxious or struggling learners\n✔️ Anyone who wants better results without longer lessons\nNo prior knowledge of neurodiversity required. \nWorkshop Details \n🕒 Duration: 2 hours\n💻 Format: Live Zoom workshop\n🎓 Style: Practical\, instructor-focused\, immediately usable\nYou’ll leave with techniques you can use the very next lesson. \nReady to Teach Once — and Have It Stick? \nIf you want:\n• Less repetition\n• Happier pupils\n• Better results\n• And a more enjoyable teaching day\n👉 Book your place on the workshop today. \nYour learners’ brains aren’t broken — they’re just wired differently.

SUMMARY:PMMFS – What on Earth Does That Mean?
DESCRIPTION:Right now\, with so many pupils looking for lessons\, it can feel like loyalty doesn’t matter. If one learner leaves\, another will be along soon… right? \nWrong. \nEvery instructor — no matter how skilled\, experienced\, or popular — loses pupils from time to time. But if it’s happening often\, it’s time to ask why. Sometimes small\, unnoticed patterns in your approach can quietly push learners away. Fixing them can turn pupils into long term advocates who stay with you\, recommend you\, and strengthen your reputation. \nAt Insight 2 Drive\, we don’t judge. We help. \nIn this supportive workshop\, written by Kathy Higgins Dip DI. F Inst MTD and Leanne Condliff DVSA ADI (Grade A)\, you’ll explore the PMMFS framework and learn how to keep pupils engaged\, loyal\, and excited to learn with you. \nWhat You’ll Explore \n\nWhy pupil loyalty matters — even when demand is high.\nRecognising themes — identifying habits or behaviours that cause learners to leave.\nPMMFS explained — what it means\, why it matters\, and how to apply it.\nTurning pupils into advocates — building trust\, loyalty\, and long-term relationships.\nSupport\, not judgement — how the training team helps you succeed.\n\nWho This Workshop Is For \n\nPDIs wanting to build strong foundations with pupils.\nADIs looking to retain more learners and grow their reputation.\nInstructors who want satisfied customers to become genuine fans of their teaching.\n\nWhy Attend \nBy the end of this session\, you will: \n\nUnderstand how to keep pupils engaged\, motivated\, and loyal.\nSpot simple but costly mistakes that may be losing your business.\nKnow how to build lasting relationships with learners.\nTurn happy pupils into brand advocates who recommend you and strengthen your reputation.\nSpaces are limited — book now and make sure your pupils keep coming back.\n\nReserve your place now!

The difference lies in how you deliver it — and how it’s received. \nIn this interactive workshop\, written by Kathy Higgins Dip DI. F Inst MTD and Leanne Condliff DVSA ADI (Grade A)\, you’ll learn how to give feedback that genuinely makes an impact.
