Driving lessons tailored to you

Beginner driving lessons

New to driving? We’ll start in quiet local streets and car parks, focusing on vehicle control, steering, clutch balance, moving off and stopping, mirrors, signals, and observation. Expect clear explanations, step‑by‑step guidance, and steady progress.


Part-trained refresher lessons

If you’ve had lessons before or took a break, we’ll assess your current level and build a focused plan to close gaps quickly—roundabouts, junctions, manoeuvres, meeting traffic, and independent driving.


Test-ready intensive courses

Need to get your licence quickly? Our intensive and semi‑intensive courses condense learning over days or weeks, following local test routes and common examiner hotspots in East London.


Automatic driving lessons

Prefer a simpler drive? Automatic lessons remove gear changes so you can focus on road awareness and hazard perception—great for anxious learners or busy London roads.


Mock tests and test day support

We run realistic mock tests using DVSA standards, timed routes, and detailed feedback. On test day, your instructor will handle the car, paperwork, and warm‑up drive so you feel fully prepared.
