Your Questions Answered

Common questions from learner drivers in South London.

How long is each driving lesson?
Each lesson is 1 hour by default. However, we offer flexible lesson lengths — you can book 1.5 or 2-hour sessions, which is ideal if you want to cover more ground or are preparing for your practical test. Longer sessions are especially useful for mock tests and motorway practice.
What areas do you cover in South London?
We cover a wide area across South London and Surrey, including Sutton, Wallington, Morden, Cheam, Carshalton, Wimbledon, Southfields, Tooting, Colliers Wood, Balham, Mitcham, Tolworth, and Raynes Park. Not sure if we cover your area? Call or WhatsApp us on +44 7769 216978.
What makes Luvendo Driving School different?
Our instructor, Hasan Yirik, is both DVSA Approved and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) trained. This means he doesn't just teach you how to drive — he helps you overcome nerves, build confidence, and develop the right mindset behind the wheel. Many students notice a real difference in their confidence from the very first lesson.
How much do lessons cost?
Manual driving lessons start from £37.50 per hour. We also offer flexible packages (e.g. 5, 10, or 20-hour blocks) that give you a better rate overall. Packages are a great way to plan your learning journey and save money at the same time. Visit our Packages page for current pricing.
What age can I start driving lessons?
You can begin driving lessons from your 17th birthday. You will need a valid provisional driving licence before your first lesson — make sure you apply for it in advance via the DVLA website (GOV.UK). If you're turning 17 soon, don't wait — get in touch now to book your first lesson for right after your birthday!
Do I need to pass my theory test before starting lessons?
No — you can start practical driving lessons at any time. However, you must pass your theory test before you can book your practical driving test with the DVSA. We recommend studying for your theory alongside your lessons so you're ready when the time comes. We can also advise on theory resources and preparation.
What is your cancellation policy?
We ask for at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours' notice may result in the lesson being charged in full. We understand that emergencies happen — please just contact us as soon as possible and we'll do our best to be flexible.
How many lessons will I need before my test?
This varies from person to person — everyone learns at their own pace. On average, learners need around 40–45 hours of professional tuition alongside private practice. With Hasan's NLP-based coaching approach, many students find they progress faster as the lessons are tailored specifically to their individual learning style and confidence levels.
Do you offer intensive driving courses?
Yes! If you need to pass quickly — for a new job, travel plans, or any other reason — we offer intensive courses that can be arranged to fit your schedule. Please contact us directly on +44 7769 216978 or via WhatsApp to discuss the best intensive plan for your needs.
How do I book a lesson?
Booking is simple. You can use our online registration form, call us on +44 7769 216978, or send us a WhatsApp message. We'll discuss your experience level, availability, and goals, then arrange your first lesson at a time that suits you.
