About Richard

Richard Chapman is a DVSA Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) specialising in Category B car instruction. He is based in Chandler's Ford and offers driving lessons in Winchester, Eastleigh and the surrounding areas. He keeps things very learner focused, so you get the kind of support you need to feel confident, not just to pass the test. Richard welcomes everyone, from complete beginners to full licence holders who want a refresher. He is big on safety and helping you become a calm, capable driver for life. He teaches in a fully electric Kia e-Niro, so lessons are quiet, smooth and eco friendly, with no gears or clutch to worry about. Students often mention how patient and flexible he is, and how his clear feedback and progress tracking make it easy to see how you are improving. Many of his pupils pass first time and go on to be safe, confident drivers. He also offers Pass Plus courses if you want to build your skills even further after the test.

Hi Richard - just wanted to say thank you very much for all your efforts in helping me pass my driving test. I was very comfortable driving with you and found your car easy to drive. And in particular what I really appreciated was your flexibility in arranging lessons and clearing space for a test date on short notice when one became available. Best of luck to you and your other students! Sandi, Romsey

Although learning to drive is challenging for everyone, Richard always put me at ease, so I always felt comfortable during my driving lessons - something which I think is really important! Over the time I had the lessons, Richard tracked my progress clearly and showed me what I needed to improve on and what I had achieved, which was really useful. I believe Richard taught me to a very high standard, and I still use the tips I learn't from Richard in my everyday driving, which keeps me safe! I am pleased to say I am now driving around confidently and safely. I'm really enjoying it. Louisa, Winchester

Thanks Rich for helping me to become my Sister's taxi driver! I really enjoyed my lessons, even if I did end up learning most of it in the dark! 'Pass Plus day' was great and improved my skills even more. Thanks for making me a safe, confident driver; we'll see you again in 3 years when my Sister starts learning. Ellie, Winchester
