This is my syllabus that I use to teach you to drive.
1-9 generally get done in that order, i.e. you first master left turns before right turns and after that it isn't a strict order; 10 gets done whilst doing 1-9. I do things according to your ability and aptitude; manoeuvres I drop in where appropriate.
Check my Progress Page to see the kind of Progress to expect and the milestones you should be aiming to achieve.
