Driving training with Yapa can be highly recommended as not only practical lessons, the detailed explanation with theory is also very useful. He is very punctual and usually puts in extra time to practice weak skills of the students. Reasonable charges and flexible learning schedules are very helpful

Yapa was an exceptional driving instructor! Throughout our lessons, he was patient and supportive and really helped me to learn many skills, and increase my confidence when driving. He is very knowledgeable and reliable, and gives clear explanations. I owe a lot of my achievement in getting my P’s to him. I strongly recommend Yapa to anyone wanting to get lessons
