Chris is a DVSA Grade A approved driving instructor (ADI) with 16 years' experience, covering East Ham, Upton Park, Stratford, Ilford, Leyton, Leytonstone, Wanstead, Barking and Goodmayes, with test preparation for the Wanstead, Barking and Goodmayes centres.
Beginner automatic lessons
Never driven before? You'll be moving the car on your first lesson. Chris starts on quiet residential roads around your area and builds up to main roads at your pace, not a schedule's.
- Cockpit drill, moving off and stopping
- Junctions, roundabouts and lane discipline
- All four manoeuvres, taught properly
- Independent driving and sat-nav sections
Intensive driving courses
Already have a test date, or need to be driving for work? An intensive course compresses your hours into longer sessions over days or weeks instead of months.
- Built around your existing test date
- Longer sessions, faster progress
- Honest advice on whether it's realistic
- Available across all nine areas
Full mock driving tests
A proper dress rehearsal on realistic routes near your test centre, marked the way an examiner marks it — so test day is a repeat, not a first attempt.
- Realistic Wanstead, Barking or Goodmayes routes
- Marked to DVSA fault categories
- Clear written feedback on what to fix
- Included with 10 and 15 hour blocks
