LicencePlus Driving School HORNSBY

My son took the training lessons from Raj at LicencePlus Driving School.
We took a lesson package as advised by Raj. My son was so confident after his lessons that he started driving long distance trips without any hesitation. I also noticed that the training provided by Raj was excellent.
After completing 1 year and required hours, my son took another 3 class package with Raj and gave the test for his provisional 1 driver’s licence. He got his licence in the first attempt.
It’s important to have the correct instructor who can teach our kids, we are so happy that we took the right decision to go ahead with Raj.
If you are thinking about deciding instructor for taking driving lessons, then don’t hesitate to talk with Raj.
Now our 2nd son will be ready in May and I have already told to Raj that he will be instructing him as well.
Thanks Raj, really appreciate your efforts.

Raj at LicencePlus Driving School demonstrated a great and digestible array of knowledge that was vital to passing the test on my first go with only one error despite embedded negative habits. In only 3 lessons, he had completely rewired my poor or lack of abilities on the road into competent and effective driving.

His lessons are well developed and his communication skills allowed a clear understanding of key fundamentals that will stick with you forever. Thanks Raj.

Raj is a great driving instructor, I had failed the test twice and when I started doing lessons with Raj he really took the time to show me safe ways of driving and certain skills that make driving fun and easy. After a couple of lessons I passed my driving test with a 100% accuracy and I really recommend Raj 😊

Raj was the best decision i made when i began driving on my L's!. I recently got my P plates, and the second i began driving on my own, i was confident in making decision and acting accordingly, all because of the life skills Raj gave me. I'm so very grateful to have been able to learn from Raj, as he's not just an instructor to many people but a friend who is always there to calm any nerves or doubts about driving. From the very first day i met Raj, down to the minutes before my test, i never doubted my ability to drive safely and proactively, due to the security and confidence Raj gives his students within their driving.

its been a pleasure to learn from Raj and thanks to him, i have driving and life skills for life!

Raj is the instructor that someone I know recommended to me. He tried to fix all my old habits into a safe driving habit. He always supportive and positive, which actually helps me to gain confidence to drive. He also spare some of his time to give extra times because I missed some of the course. He also always let me know when he has free schedule to fit me as it is hard for me to get a fix schedule. Very patient, supportive and nice, always make you feel proud of yourself but also able to correct your mistake to be better.

I had Raj as my instructor - I had an exam in 2 weeks that I was completely unprepared for. In only 4 lessons, however, Raj rebuilt all of my knowledge and gave me the confidence to walk into the driving test and ace it. His teaching methods were great and I cannot recommend LicensePlus enough!

Being given driving lessons by Raj, I unbelievably passed the P’s test first go, thanks to the confidence given by him. His well structured lessons including the mocks tests, not only taught driving skills to pass my test but implement these safe skills life long! For his patience, positive attitude and well guidance during the lessons, I would highly recommend Raj.

Raj was a very patient and thorough instructor. I appreciate how he broke things down in a way that was easy to understand and made sure I knew what I was doing (and why). He has a genuine desire to teach and takes care to make sure his students build safe driving habits. Thanks to him, I’ve recently managed to obtain my P’s and feel a lot more confident on the road. I highly recommend him and the LicensePlus team to anyone looking to learn how to drive.

Hi there!
I recently received my P plates thanks to my driver instructor, Raj. Before I enrolled in this driving school, I went to another driving school to get my first 30 hours of driving. It was a complete waste of my money and time. My old instructor yelled at me and I became fearful of driving. At some point, I even thought I will not be able to drive. I had spent all the hours I paid for driving in quite streets and was not confident to move to traffic as my instructor kept yelling at me and lowering my self-esteem.
However, through a friend, I found out about Licence Plus and Raj. Initially, I enrolled in only one class because of my previous experience, just wanting to get a feel for how his lessons were going to be. That first lesson changed the way I felt about driving. Raj was patient with me and gave me the confidence to drive. He was very good when showing me techniques like reverse parallel parking, 3 point turn, and curb-side stop and lane change. After that, I booked packages with Raj and I was already driving in traffic. I could see a great improvement when I switched my driving lesson with Raj. We went driving not just in traffic, but drove to faraway places like to beaches, temples and shopping centres; to places I enjoy visiting. Each lesson I honed my driving skills but along with that Raj built my confidence. He told me that I was capable of being a safe driver on the road. During my lesson, we spoke about many topics but I enjoyed when we spoke about spirituality. That’s what made our trips so enjoyable. Lessons never felt like lessons. It felt like I was driving with a friend. He not only taught me to drive but to enjoy driving and be a safe driver on the road. He gave so much information in way I could understand. I always looked forward to our driving lessons. Getting my P plates were a bittersweet moment because, I was so happy that I could drive on my own but at the same time, I was going to miss driving lessons with Raj. I am never going to forget Raj and what he has taught me.

My son received his P’s on the very first attempt under the guidance of Raj who is an extremely professional driving instructor. As a parent I without hesitation would highly recommend Raj who not only taught driving skills & techniques but provided confidence & mentorship. His emphasis on road safety rules & driver safety is paramount. I can’t thank Raj enough for giving my son the confidence & being the most chilled & cool driving instructor. Loreeza

Highly recommend this driving school! I passed my P's driving test on first try because Raj taught me a lot to become a safe driver not only for the test, but to carry it everywhere I go.

He always encourages me and gave me positive feedbacks that made me feel more confident about my driving. Raj is very patient and attention to detail, if you need more help in certain parts, he's happy to guide you and fix them with you until you feel comfortable and confident with driving.

I'm very glad my mum found this driving school because it helped me a lot to build safe driving habits as a young driver. Thank you so much again, Raj!

Raj is a legend in the area which is why we called him as my daughters friends have all worked with him when preparing for their P's.

He has a very calm, warm personality that instantly makes the kids feel at ease which helps them absorb the training.

Raj sets them up to feel confident when heading into the test. Our daughter passed her test today, first go only making one minor error which was amazing. He doesn't just work with them so they can pass the test, he develops their skills so they can hit the road feeling confident.

Best money ever spent. Thanks Raj.

Raj, you’re a fantastic driving instructor as I have got my full licence at once which credit goes to you because you have gave me an excellent driving lessons even in a short period of hours.
I recommend everyone to learn with Raj because his training is not just for to get the licence but for safe drive as well . All in all you’re amazing training Raj!!!!!
Thank you

Thank you so much Raj! Another first time pass for my younger daughter! She’s just driven off on her own and my eyes were stinging from the tears! 😄 So proud. Thank you again for your calm and very professional teaching. Both my girls absolutely loved their lessons with you. Cheers! Enjoy your day. Warmest regards, Liz Galt

License Plus is an amazing driving school, my instructor was Raj, he was a wonderful instructor who helped me feel confident behind the wheel by teaching me driving techniques I need for my everyday driving. I passed my test 100% first go!!

Raj took me from a cripplingly timid learner to a confident driver over several months of training. He taught me the fundamentals and helped me to build on them, taking me on a full range of routes to gain practice working on roads all over Sydney, not just the area where I would be taking my test. This allowed me to be confident wherever I am. He really cares about his students and I’m so happy to have learned with him. Brilliant instructor. Definitely would recommend!

Raj is an excellent driving instructor who helped me to pass my P's test first try. He teaches you the skills to pass the driving test but also the skills to be a safer driver on the road. His lessons will continue to help me drive safely and I would highly recommend him.

With the help of license plus, especially Raj, I was able to pass my p’s on my first go! Raj helped me with becoming a confident driver and getting rid of my anxiety when driving. He created a fun and supportive environment for me to learn and helped set up driving skills I will use for life :)

I cannot recommend Raj and LicensePlus enough, if you're learning to drive, or even just want to be a better, safer, more confident driver. You can't ask for better instruction and guidance!

I absolutely dreaded getting behind the wheel and made no real effort to try until, at 28, I finally decided to see if I could get some proper training.
My sincerest thanks to whatever winds of fate caused me to pick Raj and License Plus when I did.

Raj did two VERY simple things for me.
1. He taught me the way I needed to be taught, and
2. He believed I could do it.
Simple things, but CRITICAL things.
He pushed me when I needed pushing, he explained to me and educated me when I needed to know the 'why' of things to really properly internalise them, he accepted and didn't judge my various hangups and worries and fears, and most importantly helped me build up my trust in myself.

That sounds more like a friend or a family member doesn't it?
That's another great thing about Raj. He doesn't just sit there and clinically read the road rules at you. He doesn't just run you through the driving test courses over and over again, and if you ever need to drive on any other road well that's not his problem. No.
Raj genuinely cares about his students.
I know that's a cliched almost meaningless tickbox these days like "Of course we care about our students here at Generic McFaceless Corporation", but it's something truly special to see it, to feel it, and to KNOW that it's actually true.
To Raj you're not just an invoice or a dollar value in a spreadsheet.
Ironically for me, with Raj it feels much like you're being taught by a member of your family. Heck I probably chatted with Raj more often and for longer, than my actual family, and I love them dearly.

I haven't even really gotten to the driving part have I? Well he was all over that part as well!
Raj has a wealth of experience, not only as a testing officer, but more broadly as a safe, responsible, and correct driver who practises what he preaches.
I don't recall a single time when he didn't know the answer whenever I had any questions about this traffic rule or that scenario, and he would reinforce the answers with either diagrams on a whiteboard, or an example he knew of nearby (sometimes both!).
He also provided fantastic guidance through a broad variety of driving scenarios and conditions, which he artfully and masterfully arranged for me to experience during our lessons.
The fact that he made it appear so effortless while covering so much, is a testament to how much time and energy he invests in his students.

Most importantly to me though was that Raj also shares my attitude on how people should learn to drive, and continue to drive thereafter.
The law considers a car to be a deadly weapon, and for good reason. Overkill is absolutely not underrated when it comes to operating them safely.
So I was overjoyed to hear Raj say one day, in one of our very first sessions, something like "You shouldn't be learning just to pass the test. Lots of people drive one way for the test and then another way the rest of the time. That's wrong, you should always drive like you're being tested. You should always drive as the book says, because that's the safe way. That's the right way. If you drive that way, you'll be one of the safest drivers on the road."
I remember thinking "He gets it!", and many many conversations later, I no-longer think it, I know it.

I have entirely Raj to thank (though he'll tell you I should thank myself as well, I know better) when I say that where I was once a nervous worrier who failed his L's test twice before passing and constantly found reasons to avoid learning to drive, I am now a confident and correct driver who passed his P's test first go with a perfect score, and I have absolute trust in my ability to continue to be a safe and responsible driver in the future.

Raj was an absolutely incredible driving instructor. i’m so grateful for the time and effort that was put in and appreciate all the support when I was unsure of a manoeuvre or skill. 100% recommend for any future learners preparing to pass the p’s test
