Meet Tony Walker, Your Trusted Instructor

Our Story
Walker to Driver was founded with a simple mission: to provide high-quality, stress-free automatic driving lessons that help learners become confident, safe drivers in the shortest time possible. Unlike large driving schools with rotating instructors, we believe in the power of consistent, personalized instruction.
Tony Walker brings years of professional driving instruction experience to every lesson. After qualifying as a DVSA-approved driving instructor and achieving a Grade B rating, Tony recognized a growing demand for automatic-only instruction. Many learners felt overwhelmed by manual transmission and wanted a simpler, more modern approach to learning.
That's why Walker to Driver specializes exclusively in automatic lessons. By focusing solely on automatic transmission, Tony can dedicate more time to teaching essential driving skills—road awareness, hazard perception, defensive driving, and confidence building. The result? Students progress faster, feel less stressed, and often pass their test on the first attempt.
Today, Walker to Driver is proud to serve the Bromley community and surrounding areas with a reputation built on professionalism, patience, and proven results. With over 50 five-star reviews and countless successful students, we continue to help learners of all ages and backgrounds achieve their driving goals.

At Walker to Driver, we believe that great driving instruction goes beyond just teaching you how to pass a test. It's about instilling safe driving habits, building genuine confidence, and creating lifelong skills that keep you and others safe on the road.
Patience & Empathy
We understand that learning to drive can be nerve-wracking. Tony creates a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. Every student learns at their own pace, and we never rush you.
Understanding Your Learning Style
Everyone learns differently. Some students need visual demonstrations, others benefit from hands-on practice, and many prefer verbal explanations. Tony takes time to understand how you learn best and adapts his teaching methods accordingly.
Safety First, Always
Our primary goal is not just to help you pass your test, but to make you a safe, responsible driver for life. We emphasize defensive driving techniques, hazard awareness, and the importance of understanding why certain rules exist, not just memorizing them.
Building Genuine Confidence
Confidence behind the wheel comes from competence. We focus on building real driving skills through structured lessons, positive reinforcement, and gradual progression. By the time you take your test, you'll genuinely feel ready—not just nervous but prepared.
The Walker to Driver Difference
We're not a large driving school with dozens of instructors. When you learn with Walker to Driver, you get consistent, personalized instruction from Tony Walker himself. This continuity means faster progress, stronger rapport, and a learning experience tailored specifically to you.
