I am Jon Chapman a fully qualified, friendly and very patient Approved Driving Instructor (ADI).

I’ve been teaching people from age 17 to 70 to drive for over 15 years. Whether you’re a complete novice driver or you’re looking to refresh your driving skills, I can help get you safely on the road. I’ll tailor the lessons so you can learn at your own pace. I aim to put you at ease and explain things clearly so you can easily put them into practice. I am patient, calm, friendly and encouraging. I believe in giving my students confidence in their growing skills and my first-time pass-rate is well above the national average.

“I passed first time with John, and where I doubted my own ability, he knew how to get the best out of me.” - Allan De Maurier

“I enjoyed every lesson I had with Jon. As happy as I am to have my licence, in a way, I will miss my lessons.” - Jess C

Testimonials

Elena KoriakovaI did it ! Today I got my driving license!!! Thanks to Jon who, first of all, taught me to be confident while driving. It was a fabulous experience to be his student! Jon has a great car, all skills for teaching you, a learner driver, and experience! You won’t even notice how you will become the King of the Road! Summing up, I bet you won’t get disappointed. So don’t waste your time. While you are reading this somebody already passes his/her driving test!

Joe BlakeneyI absolutely cannot recommend this driving school enough. I struggle with my mental health (anxiety and depression) and I told Jon the driving instructor this and he really went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable in every single lesson. You simply will not find a better professional at his trade, nor will you find a more understanding, compassionate and friendly bloke. If you want to be made to feel at ease with your lessons, then do not look any further!

Harvey FaulknerBefore my first lesson with Jon I had never sat in the drivers seat of a car let alone driven a car. Jon quickly made me comfortable behind the wheel and within no time I didn’t have any nerves about driving a car. He was very calm, patient and provided great knowledge. He could always demonstrate anything I was finding hard and was even able to relate driving to my favorite hobbies and work making it easier for me to understand. I will recommend Jon to any of my family and friends that want to learn to drive in the future and I’m really thankful for everything he did for me.
