David Shinkfield
Driving Instructor - Harrogate & Knaresborough
Hi, I’m David Shinkfield, one of the automatic driving instructors with Learn Driving UK, teaching pupils within the Harrogate area.
I am motivated, punctual and also like to teach in a friendly, relaxed environment as I feel this brings out the best in my pupils, allowing them to fulfil their potential with lessons tailored to suit each individual.
I passed my driving test in the late 1980’s, before theory tests even existed, and I used to regularly drive 20,000 miles annually.
I live in Harrogate with my wife and two sons, one is away at University and the other will also be going later this year.
In my spare time I enjoy health and fitness which includes playing golf at Oakdale and badminton at Harrogate Racquets club, as well as for Yorkshire over 45’s. I am also a Foundation Level qualified badminton coach.
I look forward to meeting you as you start your journey towards becoming a qualified and safe driver.
David

I passed my driving test first time with David Shinkfield. I know David and I knew he would massively help. David was very patient and gave lots of help. Allows me to get to the golf tournaments now.
David, I just wanted to thank you again for everything. You've been amazing and I couldn't have done it without you. If I'd had an instructor like you all those years ago I'm sure l'd of been on the road a lot sooner. I passed first time and what a great experience.
Thank you!
