Darvin Crawford

Approved Driving Instructor

I'm Darvin, Derren's older brother and one of the instructors here at Crawford School of Motoring. It was actually Derren who introduced me to the world of driving instruction. Before making the switch, I spent over 10 years working as a laboratory analyst. While I enjoyed aspects of the job, I felt there was limited room for growth and lacked the job satisfaction I was looking for. Seeing how much Derren enjoyed helping people achieve their goals inspired me to give it a go myself.

My teaching style is centred around learning by doing. Everyone makes mistakes when they're learning, and I believe those mistakes are often the best opportunities to grow. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a learner overcome their nerves, build confidence and achieve something they once thought they couldn't.

Outside of work, I'm a relaxed, laid-back person with a slightly unhealthy obsession with fishing. So don't be surprised if you end up getting the odd fishing story—or even a lesson on how to fish—alongside your driving lesson!
