Seyma teaches every lesson herself, so she always knows where you are and what to work on next.
Fully qualified ADI
Seyma is a DVSA Approved Driving Instructor, the full qualification for teaching learner drivers.
Dual-control automatic
No clutch and no gears for you to think about, in a car with dual controls for extra peace of mind.
Pick-up and drop-off
Seyma collects you from home, work, school or college and drops you back when the lesson ends.
English or Turkish
Learn in the language you are most comfortable in. Dersler Türkçe de yapılır.
Lessons
Lessons for every stage
Whether you have never sat in the driving seat or already hold a licence, there is a lesson to suit.
Learner lessons
Regular lessons that take you from your first drive to test standard, at a pace that suits you.
Intensive courses
More hours over a shorter period, for when you want to be ready for your test sooner.
Refresher lessons
Already have a licence? Rebuild your confidence after time away from driving.
Motorway lessons
Joining, lane discipline and overtaking at motorway speeds, with an instructor beside you.
Mock driving tests
A practice test run like the real one, so you know what to expect on the day.
Not sure which you need?
Tell Seyma where you are with your driving and she will suggest where to start.
Message SeymaWhat you will learn
Everything the driving test asks for
Lessons build up step by step, from the controls of the car to driving on your own.
-
The car and moving off
Getting comfortable with the controls and mirrors, then moving off and stopping safely.
-
Junctions and roundabouts
Approaching, emerging and turning at junctions, crossroads and roundabouts.
-
Sharing the road
Meeting other traffic, pedestrian crossings and spotting hazards early.
-
Faster roads
Main roads and dual carriageways: joining, keeping pace and changing lanes.
-
Manoeuvres
Parallel parking, parking in a bay and pulling up on the right, as used in the test.
-
Ready for the test
Independent driving with a sat nav or road signs, the emergency stop and the “show me, tell me” questions.
Why automatic
Less to juggle, more time to learn
In an automatic the car looks after the gears. That leaves you free to concentrate on what is happening around you.
Good to know: if you pass your test in an automatic, your licence covers automatic cars only. You can take a manual test later if you want to drive manual cars as well.
-
Easier starts
Pulling away at junctions, in queues and on hills is simpler, which takes a lot of pressure off the early lessons.
-
Calmer in traffic
Stop-start traffic is far less tiring when you are not changing gear every few seconds.
-
Ready for electric
Electric cars and most hybrids are automatic, so what you learn carries straight over to them.

Questions
What learners ask before they start
Something else on your mind? Message Seyma on WhatsApp.
Do I need a licence before my first lesson?
Yes. You need a provisional driving licence before you can drive on public roads. You can apply on GOV.UK once you are 15 years and 9 months old, and start driving a car when you are 17.
Can I start lessons before I pass my theory test?
Yes. You can take lessons while you study for it. You need to pass the theory test before you can book your practical test.
Is the driving test different in an automatic?
No. The practical test is the same. You simply take it in an automatic car.
If I pass in an automatic, can I drive a manual car?
Not on that licence. An automatic licence covers automatic cars only. If you want to drive manual cars later, you can take a manual test to upgrade.
How many lessons will I need?
Everyone is different. It depends on your experience and on how much practice you get between lessons. Message Seyma to talk through where you are now.
How much do lessons cost?
Lessons are £45 per hour. Send a WhatsApp message to check availability.
Will Seyma pick me up?
Yes. She collects you from home, work, school or college and drops you back at the end of the lesson.
Can I have my lessons in Turkish?
Yes. Seyma teaches in English or Turkish. Dersler Türkçe de yapılır.
Which test centres do you cover?
Chingford, Loughton and Wanstead.
