I had never driven before and I was lucky to get Chandra as my first instructor. He is calm, straightforward, kind, patient and definitely friendly. He's the perfect choice for anyone who starts from the scratch or needs a refresher. I had no confidence whatsoever when we first started but he knew how to build it up and I passed the test on my first try. He is also very accommodating and flexible and overall a great human, so I'd definitely recommend him!

I took lesson intesif for 10 days because my mom suddenly going back to Indonesia soon, so nobody take care my baby. Chandra helped me a lot for tight time left that we had within his bussy week. He brought me several situation such as Marrickville, Rockdale, Roseland for me getting use to be in any situation of driving condition. I notice different place different challenge and different type of the street. I booked straightaway for my driving test altough i haven't finished my lesson. Just finger crossed i got the slot for test before my mom left??!! Chandra suggested me to see every hour start from now because somebody might be cancel then i can rebooked the place with the date before mom leave! He helped me a lot with many tips to rebook the driving venue, and many tricks for driving in any situation. I change from Rockdale to Miranda, then with final disccus with Chandra , we could rebooked to Botany, with not busy hour test!! Finally, i passed the test the first attemp!! Big thanks for Chandra for everything?? I definitely recomend Chandra for driving test! He is talented tutor ??????. Orangnya enak diajak diskusi, dan ga pelit ilmu and info??????

Chandra is the ultimate driving instructor – an absolute living legend and one of a kind! I couldn’t recommend him more highly and I could not have selected (or designed a better person to be on the journey with me. He is calm, caring, compassionate, committed and experienced. I selected Chandra after I read his reviews from his clients about his calmness, patience and support for nervous drivers. He seemed to have a lot of experience with supporting mature students who had anxiety about driving and he had rave reviews about his calm and caring support. Having procrastinated for decades (literally), I was experiencing massive anxiety about getting into a car and getting my license. I knew it was going to take time for me to overcome the fears I had built up and I knew I needed someone who would be incredibly patient with me and help me stay calm. Chandra helped me pass first time in NSW and was over the moon for me when I got my licence! His patience, kindness and generosity of spirit know no bounds! If you’re a nervous driver, a “mature” student, a bit of an over-thinker or academic / theoretical person who gets challenged by the skills of driving like spatial relations, he will calmly break things down for you and find different ways for you to learn what you need to learn. He will help you patiently until you learn to trust your instincts about all the elements of driving, parking and passing the road test. With uncanny levels of EQ and emotional intelligence, Chandra quickly learns how to read your skill level, your personality and style and your overall readiness for various elements of driving and the knowledge you have to build up to pass the three stages of getting your licence. He knows exactly when you are ready and what headspace you are in when you jump into the car. He knows when to push you a little out of your comfort zone (to more traffic or a highway), with the right support and without pushing you into your panic zone or what will overwhe

Highly recommend Chandra! He is very patient and knowledgeable, very reassuring and made me felt at ease throughout all the classes. Most importantly I passed the driving test at one go, thank you Chandra.

Chandra is THE BEST!! Upon meeting Chandra for my very first lesson, I immediately felt at ease and in good care. Chandra is pure in his approach, extremely kind and thoughtful and exceptionally down to earth. He is one of the best driving instructors I have ever met, and I am enormously grateful for the time spent in his company learning how to drive. Throughout my lessons and on the day of my driving test, Chanda gave me the courage to believe in myself and my driving capabilities, and always shared a laugh and guided me with his honest and practical approach to driving. I will be forever grateful to have met Chandra and have the BEST DRIVING INSTRUCTOR IN ALL OF NSW!!

Chandra is the best. I started with zero driving experience when I started with Chan. Now I passed the driving test and have my provisional license at a much earlier time than I would have expected.

Chandra is a great and effective teacher. As a new driver, Chandra put emphasis in getting the basics and safety right. This paid off in the long run and was a big factor in me being able to drive confidently especially as we moved from side roads to highways.

Finally, Chandra is fun! He is a professional but we always had a great time when we had our lessons and I end up always looking forward to them. Thanks again Chandra!

My instructor Chandra Jong is simply the best. I started with ZERO driving experience and now I have my Red P's.

Chan teaches in a way that is very easy to understand. The lessons are very well paced and I have always felt comfortable during our lessons. It amazed how quickly I felt comfortable driving. I really thought it would take a much longer time.

Chan is very friendly and easy to get along with as well. I always looked forward to our lessons. Thanks again Chan!

Emma F

I can’t recommend Chan enough. Chan makes you feel relaxed and calm when driving for the first time. As somebody that gets anxious quite easily I never had an issue with Chan while driving and actually came to enjoy driving because of his attitude towards teaching. Chan has a very natural and positive approach to teaching how to drive and makes it easy to follow instructions.

Kevin M

I had the lowest confidence ever about my driving. That was until I had my very first lesson with Chandra. He is such a calming respectful person that helped me to get through my anxiety and fear of driving. I have have so much confidence with my driving and so much self beleif that I never had before. Thanks so much for that Chandra can never thank you enough????. I highly recommend anyone of all ages to come and experience the expertise and amazing teaching skills that Original driving School can pass on to you.????

Chandra is a great instructor, I have passed my test thanks to his guidance a year ago and haven’t had any issues driving in Sydney since then. Chandra has helped me to build confidence in my driving ability, improve decision making on the road and taught me how to stay focused and enjoy driving at the same time. This was one of the best learning experiences I have ever had!

Josh C

Passed at first go!! My instructor Anthony Chan was fantastic. We did 50% of my lessons in my local, and 50% around the area the test would be done. Anthony was a patient and clear instructor, allowing me to make minor errors, review them with me and show me a better way to drive. On first lesson he was able assess my current level and work out what I need and how many lessons it would take to do well. Highly recommended!
