About Instructor

Theory Test Practice

Annie Winterburn is a driving instructor, ORDIT instructor trainer and theory test coach. She qualified as an ADI in 2013 to become the owner of Spot On Driving School. She has since trained her husband, Eddie, and son, Lex, to qualify as instructors, and both now work alongside her. Realising that the theory test causes such a great deal of stress and trouble for many learner drivers, inspired Annie to create a course to help learners understand the theory of driving, answer questions more easily, and get to grips with the hazard perception test.
