🤔 Why It Matters

Choosing the right driving instructor isn’t just about price — it’s about confidence, safety, and success. Here’s what to ask to ensure you’re in the right hands.

đź§ľ The 10 Questions You Should Ask

1. Are you a fully qualified DVSA instructor?

You should always learn with a DVSA-approved driving instructor, like those at Ilker Driving School.

2. Do you offer both manual and automatic lessons?

Not all schools offer both. We do — and help you choose the best for your needs.

3. What areas do you cover?

We proudly teach learners in Chingford, Loughton, and Wanstead.

4. How many lessons will I need?

There’s no exact number, but a good instructor gives you a rough estimate based on your trial lesson.

5. Can I choose my instructor?

Yes! We match you with an instructor who fits your learning style and schedule.

6. Do you offer weekend or evening lessons?

We offer flexible hours to suit work, school, or college schedules.

7. How do you track my progress?

At Ilker Driving School, we use a structured progress sheet and offer regular feedback.

8. What’s included in the lesson price?

Ask if it includes pickup/drop-off, test booking support, and use of the car for your driving test.

9. What is your pass rate?

Our students in Wanstead, Chingford, and Loughton consistently beat the national average.

10. Can I switch instructors if needed?

We always aim for a great match, but yes — you can switch if you’re not completely comfortable.
