Am I Boring You? The Science Behind Yawning

With Tracey & Kev from Confident Drivers

Monday 17th August 2026 - 7pm to 8.15pm (ish)

This live training workshop is automatically included for members of the Confident Driving Instructor Academy and available as a stand-alone purchase (£30) for non-members.

This workshop is for you because:

  • You automatically think your student is bored or tired when they start yawning
  • You would like to understand what yawning might reveal about stress, overload and concentration.
  • You want to be able to recognise hidden signs that affect learning and performance.
  • You are looking for training that includes a mix of learning, interaction, and sharing ideas between participants

This live workshop will look at:

- the research behind why we yawn
- how to use yawning as a clue to how your student is feeling
- what questions to ask to help you adapt the lesson to help your student
- and sharing thoughts, ideas and experience among the group

*There is no role-play, and there are no break-out rooms*

This online workshop gives you:

Better understanding of why we yawn

How to use this information to give you clues about how your student may be feeling in lessons
