Instructor questions, answered
Here's what most instructors ask before getting started.
Getting started
Everything you need before your first booking.
Book a call with Glen, our Head of Instructors. It's a quick conversation to make sure Flexidrive is the right fit for you. No pressure, no commitment. If you're approved you can be live and taking bookings within days.
Once you've had your call with Glen and been approved, you can be fully set up and live within a few minutes. We keep it simple, create your profile, set your availability, and you're ready to go.
You need to be a fully qualified ADI with a valid licence and insurance. We verify everything during onboarding, it's straightforward and handled as part of the process.
Completely free. No joining fees, no monthly subscription, no upfront costs. Ever. We earn when you earn, that's it.
No. Your existing students stay completely yours. We never contact them or interfere with your current setup. You simply open the slots you want to fill with new learners, everything else stays exactly as it is.
How it works
Day to day on the Flexidrive platform.
Once your profile is live, learners in your area can see your availability, ratings, and profile details. They request a booking based on your open slots. You approve every booking before it's confirmed, nothing happens without your say so.
No. You approve every booking yourself. If a request doesn't suit you for any reason you can decline it. You're in full control of who you teach and when.
Yes. You open and close slots entirely at your own discretion. Change your availability any time, no notice required, no one needs to know.
Absolutely. One slot a week or twenty, it's entirely up to you. There's no minimum commitment and no pressure to take on more than suits your schedule.
If a learner cancels within 24 hours, you are still paid. Every lesson is prepaid through the app before it's confirmed, so your income is protected regardless of last-minute cancellations.
Payments
How and when you get paid.
Every lesson is prepaid by the learner through the app before you confirm the booking. You never chase a payment or handle cash. Your earnings are tracked automatically and paid out weekly to your bank account.
Working week is Monday - Sunday and you are paid the following Wednesday automatically. You can see a full breakdown of your earnings at any time in the app, lessons completed, amounts owed, and payment history all in one place.
No minimum threshold. Whatever you earn in a week is paid out automatically.
Ratings and reviews
How the rating system works.
Learners rate their instructor after every lesson. Your rating is an average of all reviews you've received on the platform. Ratings are visible to learners before they book so keeping a strong score matters.
Yes. If you believe a review is unfair or inaccurate you can contact the Flexidrive team to dispute it. We review disputes fairly and will investigate any review that appears to violate our guidelines.
One negative review won't define your rating. The best response is to continue delivering great lessons, your average score will reflect your overall performance over time. If you have a specific concern about a review contact our support team.
