There is no quick answer to this one! At the end of the day it is down to personal choice. We have included some factors to consider below:

Some students learn better by watching, some by practical experience, most learn by a mixture of the two. When learning in a one student to one instructor environment, students do not always fully absorb the information explained. It is very difficult to concentrate fully on driving and listen carefully to what the instructor is explaining during the drive.

However, when learning two to one there are several advantages. You get a break from driving when the other student drives. When not driving it is easier to listen to the instructor and plan how you would have approached the situation or hazard. You will learn from each other’s mistakes (everyone makes mistakes). Discussion with your fellow student can help alleviate any pre-test nerves and worries.
