Why Knowing What’s Included Matters
Not all driving schools are the same. Understanding what your driving instructor will cover in each lesson helps you:
Set realistic expectations
Track your progress
Make sure you’re getting value from your lessons
At Ilker Driving School, we offer structured, professional driving lessons that are tailored to your pace and needs.
What Every Lesson Covers
1. Pick-up and Drop-off
We collect you from home, school, or work within the Chingford, Loughton, or Wanstead area. Drop-off can be in a different local location too — perfect for busy schedules.
2. Lesson Goals and Recap
At the start of each session, your instructor will explain what you’ll be focusing on. You’ll also review the last lesson and any areas you’d like to improve.
3. Real-World Practice
You’ll drive on roads that reflect your current level. For beginners, this might mean quiet backroads in Loughton. For more advanced learners, you might tackle roundabouts in Chingford or busy streets in Wanstead.
4. Skill Development
Lessons include clutch control, gear changes, turning, stopping, parking, and more — depending on where you are in your journey.
5. Independent Driving Practice
As you progress, your driving instructor will introduce independent driving — where you follow directions or signs with less guidance. This helps prepare you for the practical test.
6. Feedback and Progress Updates
At the end of each lesson, you’ll get feedback and tips for improvement. Your progress log will be updated so you can see how far you’ve come.
Extras That Make a Difference
Support with theory test questions
Booking assistance for your practical test
Use of the car for your driving test
Flexible rescheduling options
Choice between manual and automatic cars
Local Knowledge is a Bonus

Which junctions in Chingford cause the most test failures
The trickiest mini-roundabouts in Loughton
Which roads in Wanstead are perfect for parallel parking
That means your driving lessons aren’t just effective — they’re strategic.
