Best driving instructor in Sunderland!

Chris has been absolutely amazing with me throughout my driving journey. He is extremely patient and respectful and good to have a laugh with on lessons! I couldn't imagine going through this journey with anyone else! He fully prepares you for more than just the test, but real world driving around areas you'd commonly travel to after you pass! He is an amazing instructor and I couldn't recommend him more! Thank you for everything Chris and I'm sure you'll be teaching my sister when her lessons start!

Excellent instructor!!

Chris is an amazing instructor who would consistently be supportive through lessons. Not only teaching me essential driving skills, but the knowledge supporting my driving, allowing me to feel confident driving independently.
I'd 100% recommend Chris when looking for an instructor!

Thank you Chris 👌

Chris is a fantastic instructor he doesn't just get you to pass your test he gets you to be able to drive further than that so you are safe when driving yourself . At first I wasn't able to get in a slot with him at the time of my last job and didn't want to go to anywhere else as Chris also taught my brother . I have never been happier that I didn't go somewhere else because he is passionate about his job and keeping future drivers safe on the road . Trust me couldn't of asked for a better instructor

Great Instructor!!

Chris is a great instructor, who not only guided me to passing my test first time, but prepared me for my life on the road after the test. He was always on time and very supportive during the lessons. Always keeping his cool and trying to help fix the problem with you so you can learn better in the end.

Would recommend Chris to anyone looking for an instructor!!

Overall 10/10 experience!!

Highly Recommend

I would highly recommend Chris Chambers School of Motoring to anyone that is looking for a calm, patient and supportive driving instructor.
Chris makes sure you are ready for the roads and not just how to pass your test. He is pationate about what he does and gives you a more in depth education about the cars different systems and functions. His teaching material, style and methods prepare you for any situation that you may come across and how to adapt to them.
When he takes a pupil on he makes sure that you are going to get the education and practice that you will need and makes sure that there is continuity in your learning.
Each lesson he listens to what you would like to work on or feel like you need more practice on and adjusts the lesson accordingly.
He has made me a confident, safe and very well educated driver and I cannot thank him enough for all of his help, patience and understanding throughout my learning journey.

First time pass - Thank you Chris!

I am very pleased to say that I have recently passed my driving test first time with Chris Chambers School of Motoring. As someone who started driving lessons as a complete beginner, I felt fully supported throughout my learning journey from start to end. Chris possesses excellent teaching skills but also provides valuable insights and tips that extend beyond the driving test, ensuring you are ready for life on the roads. His patience and understanding creates a supportive environment which allowed me to feel comfortable to learn from my mistakes. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a skilled instructor who truly cares about his pupils’ progress and wellbeing. Thank you for everything!

Chris is exactly what you would want when learning to drive. A passionate, caring, understanding legend!

Chris provided great professional lessons that benefited my safety, and readiness for the roads.

Not only is he everything you want as a driving instructor, but he’s also taught me a lot about myself.

That being said, we had a really good journey that consisted of many ups and some downs and I couldn’t be more grateful.

As they say “the proof is in the pudding” and by passing my test at the first attempt with zero driving faults (1/800 odds) this only proves the effectiveness of taking your driving instructions from @chrischambersschoolofmotoring

Thanks for your all your time, patience and coaching it is very much appreciated

The stig has a poster of Chris on his wall 😎

Where do I begin? The time i spent learning with Chris had its ups and downs, I think he would agree that was due to my lack of consistency! However he always corrected me and kept me in check. I simply could not have done it without him, he’s an absolute legend!!

Highly recommend

I would really recommend Chris as your driving instructor, I had such a great experience learning to drive with him. You get taught everything you need to know about driving and you will go into your test feeling 100% confident. I really enjoyed all of my lessons, every single one was really useful and I learnt so much. Chris is also really understanding and will always adjust to your needs and how you are feeling. I think if you are looking to pass first time and be a safe and confident driving you should learn with Chris!

A brilliant instructor

Chris is an incredible instructor who stops at nothing to ensure his clients improve week in, week out. He goes out of his way to provide his students with what they need to improve whether that be in or out of the car.
His range of methods allow him to teach students in a wide range of different situations and I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to get started.

Wonderful Experience

I would absolutely recommend Chris Chambers SOM to anyone looking to get into driving no matter the age or skill level as he can instantly make a difference in your driving in the best way possible. I started learning to drive with Chris on my 17th birthday and have stuck with him throughout the tough times of COVID and the result of it was passing my test first time and it was all thanks to the teachings of Chris who knew exactly what to say to lift my spirits and perform even better in the car. Chris knew exactly what I needed to improve on and we worked on it continuously until I got it done and we were both happy with where I was at. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Chris and I wouldn’t be in the position I am without his expert knowledge and teachings.

Amazing Driving Instructor

I had my first lesson with Chris on my 17th Birthday and I have stayed with him throughout, the lessons have been great and the journey has been up and down, but I couldn’t have had a better experience with driving. He has been amazing, so supportive and always has an entertaining story to cheer me up when I wasn’t feeling great. His humour is class and I couldn’t have passed my test without him. Would 11/10 recommend to anyone who wants to learn.

Stellar driver training by an instructor who will make you feel comfortable and in control at all times.

I commenced my driver training with Chris Chambers School of Motoring after having a bad experience with a prior driving instructor. On my very first lesson with Chris, I knew that I had made the right choice to change driving instructors. We began my driver training with a guided drive in which Chris assessed my ability and knowledge at that point in time, so he could create a personalised learning plan for me.

Every lesson began with a handshake and a warm welcome, which makes you feel at ease as you get into the drivers seat. Chris gives you the confidence needed when on the roads, and ensures you are always in control, even in stressful situations.

When you undertake driver training with Chris, you are not just learning to pass the practical driving test, as with some driving instructors. Instead, you are being expertly taught how to be resilient and able to respond appropriately to any challenge you may face when driving. You learn how to be a safe and skilled driver for life - how to be 'dynamic' on the roads!

I wish I had found Chris earlier, as there truly isn't a single negative experience I could mention during my time under the instruction of Chris. Simply put, Chris Chambers is a legend!

Thank you for your wonderful review of your time under my tutelage, Charlie.

Much appreciated.

It was an absolute pleasure working with you and helping you achieve your driving goal.

...I'm not quite sure about 'legend', however, I'll take it!
