teach automatic?
Unless she has some physical impairment which permanently precludes use of a manual gearbox, I would advise strongly against qualifying on an auto. While I love my auto and they are becoming increasingly ubiquitous this side of the pond, there are still situations where not having stick shift on your licence will cause inconvenience, e.g. garage courtesy cars, hires, borrowing a mate's van etc.

I take your point. My wife doesn't. For reasons we want to get her driving ASAP. She is insistent that automatic will be much easier (probably true) and that she will have me for the sort of instances you list above (also probably true). So here we are.
Any suggestions for instructors gratefully received.

Any recommendations for a driving instructor in SE24-ish environs who will teach automatic? My wife needs to learn to drive and is really struggling to find anyone who will teach her...
