The Monarch Driving School Team
Chelsea Booth ADI
I qualified as a driving instructor in 2007 and ever since then teaching people to drive is a real passion of mine. I think the dedication to providing honest services has paid off and I love working with my colleagues who have the same type of ethics as I do. I think that learning to drive should be fun and enjoyable, we all learn better when we enjoy ourselves.

Becoming a driving instructor was something I wanted to do from the moment I started to learn to drive 9 years ago. I loved to drive and that atttitude never went once I passed my test, so I wanted to share that passion and pass it on to people who wanted to learn to drive just like I did. So as soon as I was old enough and had held my license long enough I began my training and worked very hard to achieve my dream job. At the time I had a full time job as a store manager in retail and I had a very young baby, but with the support from my husband and family I soon qualified and chose to work with Chelsea and the team as they have the same passion as I do. Now I am part of a team who work very well together to deliver an excellent service, and I love my work.

When I qualified as an Instructor in 2009 I decided to work with Chelsea rather than on my own and have learned as much working with her as what I did in my initial training. I have a fantastic pass rate as a result. I am thrilled with choosing to be a driving instructor and with the benefits of working in a friendly team; this in return benefits my pupils. Previously I was a pub manager for a while whilst I did my instructor training and before that I was a member of the Excel Airways Cabin Crew which was also a fantastic job as I got to travel the world. These days I am satisfied with travelling around St Helens instead - I don't get jet lag from doing that!

I qualified as an instructor in 2009. Got into it because it seemed like a good idea at the time. It turns out I was wrong...it was a FANTASTIC idea! I love the job and there is no better feeling than getting a pupil through their test (except, of course, if you are that pupil passing their test).I love meeting people from all walks of life and adopt an approach that learning to drive should be fun and fulfilling for both pupil and instructor. I regard myself as very open, honest and reliable (just like your very own pet dog but without all the slobbering and walkies).Outside of work I do lots of dull and very uninteresting things that involve no physical exercise whatsoever. Joined the Monarch team in October 2010 and haven't looked back since (except when I'm in the car).
Tommy Madden ADI
In 1995 I qualified as an Approved Driving Instructor and then in 2006 I qualified as a Driving Instructor Trainer. I've worked for large well known National Driving Schools both teaching learner drivers and training driving instructors all across the North West of England and into North Wales. I'm happy being back giving driving lessons in the Wigan area as its where I live. Teaching people to drive is something that I've enjoyed for over 16 years and I still enjoy it.
