Founded by JJ (Jalal), a fully qualified DVSA-approved driving instructor, CALM Driving Academy was created from a genuine passion for helping people learn to drive safely and confidently. JJ believes that driving is more than a skill — it’s an essential part of independence, and learning it should be a positive, encouraging experience. His calm, patient approach allows every student to feel relaxed and supported from their very first lesson to the day they pass their test.
A Calm and Confident Approach to Learning
At CALM Driving Academy, lessons are never rushed or repetitive. JJ takes the time to understand each student’s comfort level, experience, and goals. Whether you’re a complete beginner, nervous about getting behind the wheel, or simply looking to polish your driving before the test, lessons are tailored to match your needs. This flexible approach ensures steady progress and helps students build real confidence on the road.
Before establishing CALM Driving Academy, JJ worked with Cambridge Driving Academy (CDA) and Neomotion Driving School, two highly respected schools in the Cambridge area. During his time there, he gained valuable insight into local test routes, examiner expectations, and the common challenges learners face in Cambridge’s busy driving conditions. This experience, combined with his patient teaching style, gives his students the best possible preparation for success.
JJ’s reputation in Cambridge speaks for itself. Many of his former students have left glowing reviews under his name across various platforms, praising his professionalism, friendliness, and ability to make learning enjoyable. His long-standing record of success is a reflection of the trust and confidence his students place in him.
