“Steve is one of the most caring and understanding people you could ask for as a driving instructor. I am dyslexic and have issues with anxiety and confidence. Every lesson he would always put me at ease and make me feel confident and safe. I am so happy to have passed and couldn't have passed my driving test without Steve's support. Would highly recommend Steve Chaplin driving school for anyone. Thank you again for teaching me to drive and giving me the confidence to believe in myself."

Celebrating Stefan Kiroski's driving test success in Chilwell.
Stefan Kiroski, hailing from Wollaton, achieved a significant milestone by passing his driving test on 1st October 2024 at Chilwell. Here’s what Stefan had to say about his experience with me:
“Great experience! Steve was very dedicated to ensuring I was both capable and confident in driving without assistance before taking the test. Steve provided great advice when struggling and helped me identify faults and improvements in my driving as I progressed. Struggling at the end of later lessons to create as detailed explanations of what I wanted to improve was both frustrating and heartening - wanting to provide as much detail as initial lessons but realising there was less I needed to improve. Other than that, Steve was very approachable, allowing for me to raise issues I found with my driving more easily and helped me feel comfortable discussing the cause of mistakes rather than just noting them for next time. Overall, will miss the lessons."

“Having struggled with my first driving instructor I had the pleasure of finding Steve as my new instructor, From the first few lessons i felt more relaxed than I had before on all my previous lessons I think this owes to Steves approach when teaching, Really accommodating with lesson times and days, After getting to a reasonable level of driving the lessons for me personally became a perfect balance of letting me get on with it but also provide the teaching aspect of it when of course needed but then also always offering and checking if I was okay with everything, All in all could not recommend him enough, Genuine person and a top instructor."

“I found Steve through my dad as he also learned from Steve to pass. When I first started with Steve, I was not confident in my driving at all, but slowly I started to gain confidence and was able to do a full lesson without any guidance other than him telling me what signs to follow. I have been on the M1, being able to do it confidently and safely without putting anyone at risk of harm. Steve has helped me to be able to be safe on the road and be able to recognize hazards."
