Original Driving School

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Chan highly enough! After years learning from numerous other instructors (who weren't right for me), I knew I'd struck gold when I met Chandra. He is patient, professional, and incredibly skilled at making the driving experience comfortable and stress-free. His clear communication and ability to adapt to my individual learning needs made every lesson productive and enjoyable. What sets Chan apart is his calm and kind demeanour, even in challenging situations. He provided clear instructions and valuable, honest feedback, ensuring I gained confidence behind the wheel. I passed my test with confidence on the first go thanks to his exceptional guidance! I've also recommended him to two of my friends who also passed their tests :-) Melinda

Fantastic experience: Chandra is an incredibly patient, kind and generous instructor. I booked 5 sessions with Chandra after a reccomendation of a friend who spoke highly of him. My aim was to build up my confidence and refine my driving to be ready for my test. Which I was, and I passed on my first attempt. Chandra calmly explains instructions, is super balanced but firm and not condescending at all (which was super important for me). Oh and his car is so smooth you feel like you are driving a cloud. I highly reccomend Chandra to help you on your driving journey. Oh and he will share all his hot tips on delicious eateries around Sydney! Thank you so much Chandra. Best instructor in the universe!

Fantastic experience: Chan the man! I had my first lesson with another instructor and his style was to perfect everything before getting on the road but that’s not the best way to learn! Chan is friendly and fills you with confidence and encourages you to push your boundaries. I was able to pass on just 17 hours of lessons with no prior experience, couldn’t recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: My friend Ellie, who got her driving license with Chandra, suggested I work with him. We did max 10 lessons together, and on my second trial, I passed the test in Bondi Junction. He is super calm and makes you feel calmer while driving. He’s a wonderful communicator. His reactions are also calm if you do something weird while driving, and I think this is very important. Highly recommend working with Chandra!

Fantastic experience: Look no further then Original Driving School! Chandra is the best! He’s an excellent driving instructor, guiding me to passing my Ps test on the first go and with a perfect score! But his real strength is in his personable and friendly demeanour. He knows how to convey mistakes in a teachable way without being harsh like other instructors, this gracefully instills confidence in his students! Chan’s lessons are always fun, his teaching style shines when he gets you driving in different areas without it feeling like a chore and at the same time he conveys little nuggets of information through stories that really help you learn. If you’re young or old, new to driving or a seasoned veteran from overseas trying to get your Australian license, give Chandra a go, you won’t be disappointed it!

He went above and beyond I'm so thankful for his help. I strongly recommend him to anyone who needs a great driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: Chandra is a fantastic human being and driving instructor. He is calm natured and always has a smile on his face. I came to Chandra having had a terrible experience 10 years prior in the UK. At first it felt like I would never get my license, yet after the first lesson with Chandra he had confidence in me that we would get my license. He is a fantastic teacher who simplifies information and makes it easy for you to understand- he doesn’t overcomplicate things. He also easily picks up on what you need to improve on and caters the lessons to your needs. I’m sooo happy that I got my license first time at Botany yesterday. I couldn’t have done this without you Chandra. I will miss our driving’s lessons. Thank you once again Chandra

Fantastic experience: Chandra has honest to god changed my life! Before meeting him, getting my license felt like a pipe dream. I was so anxious I gave up on driving all together for a few years, despite having other instructors.

I am forever grateful for his help on this journey. He goes above and beyond for his students and truly excels at what he does! Thank you Chandra!
