I would advise an instructor that comes well recommended locally. I would not however have lessons from the start, only when you have grasped the basics.

Basic clutch and car control, such as hill starts etc can be taught by family etc. You dont want to spend 15 quid and an hour learning to bunny hop in an instructors car!!!!
There are various locations such as old airports etc that allow you to use their site, set out with junctions etc so u are not on the road causing mayhem or having confidence knocked and being put off for life.

I had 6 lessons, drove family car whenever we all went out. I know this 17 years ago. I do cringe when i hear that people spend several hundred quid on lessons.
Hasnt done me any harm...have been advanced driver for years too.

Good luck, be careful, there are many idiots out there.
