Chiran is a good instructor and helped me to pass on by driving test only with few lessons. He made me relaxed even I was anxious, given me confidence to book the test on my first day of practice.

Chiran has been very supportive and an excellent instructor. He is my fourth driving instructor and I only had a few lessons with him and passed on my first try with him. Out of all my previous driving instructors, he was the only one who taught me how to cope with stress and gave me techniques on how to relax on the road. I strongly recommend him to everyone. Thank you so much Chiran.

I honestly cannot recommend Chiran highly enough! Learning to drive can be a stressful experience, but with Chiran, it became something I actually looked forward to every week.

From the very first lesson, he made me feel calm and confident behind the wheel. His patience is truly remarkable – no matter how many mistakes I made in the beginning, he never lost his temper or made me feel bad. Instead, he calmly explained everything, over and over if needed, until I truly understood. He never rushed the process and always adapted the lessons to suit my pace and learning style.

Chiran was also incredibly supportive and encouraging. He believed in me, even when I doubted myself, and that made a massive difference in how quickly I progressed. Every lesson was structured, focused, and full of helpful tips – not just for passing the test, but for becoming a safe and confident driver for life.

What I really appreciated was how thorough and professional he is. He made sure I was fully prepared for the test, covering every possible scenario and giving me honest feedback throughout. Thanks to his dedication and expert teaching, I passed my driving test on the first attempt with zero faults – something I honestly never thought was possible!

If you're looking for a driving instructor in Ipswich who is kind, calm, supportive, and truly cares about your success – look no further than Chiran. He goes above and beyond for his students, and I’ll always be grateful for everything he did to help me achieve this milestone.

Thank you so much, Chiran – you're the best! 🚗💙

Chiran is an excellent instructor. I was so nervous behind the wheel but taking more lessons from Chiran gave me loads of confidence. I have managed to pass the exam in the first attempt. He is always approachable and offers help even outside the training sessions as a goodwill gesture

Frequently Asked Question

Most students need between 15-25 hours of professional instruction. Complete beginners typically benefit from our 20-hour package which provides comprehensive training, while those with some experience often find our 10-hour packagesufficient for test preparation

2-hour lessons are significantly more effective as they allow proper skill development and practice consolidation. Our standard 2-hour lessons help you retain more information and make faster progress compared to shorter sessions

This varies by individual, but most students are test-ready after 15-20 hours of instruction. Our Test Package includes focused preparation lessons plus test day support to ensure you're fully prepared. We recommend booking this alongside either our 10-hour or 20-hour training packages

The minimum age to start driving is 17, provided you hold a valid provisional driving licence. However, you can begin driving at 16 if you receive the enhanced rate mobility component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP). In this case, you'll still need to obtain a provisional licence that specifically authorizes you to drive motor vehicles.

You need a provisional licence. You will also need to generate a share code so that we can check your licence online.

I only provide lessons in my own vehicle, as it is equipped with dual controls for safety. These allow me to assist if needed, ensuring both your safety and that of other road users while you learn.

Yes, but it's best to wait until we've agreed that you're driving confidently and can control the car while responding quickly to instructions. Since your own vehicle won't have dual controls, limit your practice to areas and skills where you've already developed a good level of competence. This will help reinforce your learning while keeping you and others safe.
