Who we are
Droober is a trading name of FutureFlow Solutions Limited, a company registered in England and Wales. We started in Reading in 2020 and now cover Berkshire and Nottingham.
We do not run a fleet of cars or employ instructors on salary. We work with independent, DVSA-approved driving instructors who teach in their own dual-control cars. Droober finds you the right instructor, handles booking and payment, and stays your point of contact from your first lesson to your test.
How Droober works
You choose your course
Pick manual or automatic, standard weekly lessons or an intensive course, and the number of hours. The price on our Courses and Prices page is the price you pay.
We match you with an instructor
We match you with a DVSA-approved instructor who teaches in your area, at the times you are free, in the car type you chose. You can ask for a female instructor, subject to availability.
Your instructor contacts you
Your instructor gets in touch to arrange your first lesson. From there, you book lessons around your week.
We stay involved
If anything goes wrong, from a missed lesson to a change of instructor, contact us, and we sort it. Our terms and conditions set out cancellations and refunds.
Our instructors
Every instructor who teaches through Droober holds DVSA approval as an Approved Driving Instructor, or ADI. To keep that approval, every ADI must pass regular DVSA standards checks. Your instructor displays a green ADI badge in the car, and you can ask to see it at any time. Every instructor also holds a current DBS check.

What we will not do
We will not promise you a pass. No school can, and any that does is selling you something the DVSA examiner decides, not the school.
We will not add charges after you book. No fuel, mileage or admin fees.
We will not ask for a deposit.
We will not tell you that you need fewer hours than you do. Your instructor assesses you in your first lesson and gives you a realistic course length. The DVSA average is around 45 hours of lessons plus 22 hours of private practice.
Who can learn with us?
You can start lessons from age 17 with a valid provisional licence. If you want an intensive course, pass your theory test first, as you need to pass it to book your practical test. Not sure where to start? Read our student FAQs.
