What simplyADI is

simplyADI brings a driving instructor’s diary, student records, lesson scheduling, payments and administration into one platform. Its AI scheduler creates weekly schedules based on learner availability, travel time between postcodes, lesson priorities and instructor preferences. Instructors can follow a DVSA-aligned, 13-topic curriculum or create their own, grade lessons on a four-point independence scale, and share lesson debriefs through the student app. They can also run DVSA-style mock tests, mark results digitally and publish them for students to see.

The learner app lets students manage availability, book lessons, view invoices and progress, receive reminders, message instructors and use Show Me / Tell Me revision materials. Students can submit proposed test dates for approval; the system checks for diary clashes and adds confirmed dates to the calendar. Payments can be made by card, cash or bank transfer. Card payments use Stripe, and the service can charge automatically before lessons and issue invoices. Two-way Google Calendar sync is supported. simplyADI works on Android, iOS and the web, and can be added to an iPhone or Android home screen as a Progressive Web App without an App Store download. The plan costs £29/month and includes a free 14-day trial with no credit card required.
