“I cannot recommend Kishore Kumar highly enough. He is an exceptional driving instructor who is professional, patient, caring, and genuinely committed to his students' success. One of the things I appreciated most was his calm and reassuring approach. No matter how many questions I asked, he always took the time to explain everything clearly and never showed the slightest frustration. In fact, I asked him the same question six different times, and each time he answered with the same patience, kindness, and professionalism. His teaching style is outstanding. He prepared me for a wide variety of driving situations by explaining different scenarios and showing me exactly how to deal with them safely and confidently. During every lesson, and again at the end of each session, he carefully reviewed my mistakes, explained why they happened, and showed me the best way to correct them. This feedback helped me improve quickly and build confidence behind the wheel. What impressed me the most was how much he genuinely cared about my driving test. Even though the tyres on his car were still in good condition, he decided to replace them before my test because he wanted everything to be in the best possible condition for me. That level of dedication and care says everything about the kind of instructor he is. Thanks to his excellent guidance, I passed my driving test comfortably and successfully. I am truly grateful for all his support, encouragement, and dedication throughout my learning journey. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and caring driving instructor, I wholeheartedly recommend Kishore Kumar. He is simply one of the best.”

“I had a great experience learning to drive with Winston Russell. He is incredibly patient, calm and supportive, which made me feel confident and relaxed during every lesson. He never panics or grabs the steering wheel, and always encourages you to learn from your mistakes. His car is new, clean and very comfortable to drive. I would recommend Winston to anyone looking for a professional and reliable driving instructor - I passed my test first time.”

“Honestly, where do I even start? Johann Rzerzacz(Portsmouth area) is hands down the best driving instructor you could ever ask for. Absolute legend. He's proper kind, patient, calm and has top-tier banter, so every lesson is actually enjoyable instead of stressful. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. He's not one of those instructors who's just trying to rinse you for money he actually wants you to become a safe, confident driver for life. One thing that really impressed me is that he keeps two notebooks for every student. Every lesson he writes down the plan, what went well, what needs improving, your goals, and then recaps everything. The amount of effort he puts in is unreal. He doesn't just tell you what you did wrong either. He'll ask you, "What do you think happened there?" or "What could you do differently next time?" It gets you thinking properly, and that's why you improve so quickly. If you're struggling with something, just tell him. Trust him, listen to what he says, and you'll get there. I've got 1000% faith in Johann. There can't be many instructors like him these days. He's genuinely passionate, proper dedicated, and an absolute gem of a person. If I could give 200 stars, I genuinely would. Couldn't recommend him enough. Best of luck to everyone learning to drive you'll be in the safest hands with Johann. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Huw Edmunds is an absolutely incredible driving instructor. I started with zero driving experience and was incredibly nervous about getting behind the wheel. From day one, Huw was patient and encouraging, which helped me build my confidence with every lesson. Thanks to his expert guidance and positive attitude, I passed my driving test first time after just four months of lessons. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor and would 100% recommend Huw to anyone looking to learn to drive. His professionalism, guidance and genuine support made all the difference.”

“Tahmina (based in the West London area) was a great instructor. I passed on my second attempt learning automatic. She was really patient and encouraging, each lesson focused exactly on what I needed to improve on, and I now feel confident driving. If you’re looking for a reliable and successful instructor, book her!”

“I had a wonderful experience with my instructor Ahmad Zia Kohistani. We were able to go over all important aspects of the driving test in the month leading upto the test. With Mr Kohistani providing amazing guidance and making sure I was confident. I passed my driving test first time after only 10 lessons (2 hours each), thanks to his excellent teaching and guidance. I was able to pass my driving test successfully!”

“When I started my lessons with Ahmed Zia Kohistani I was an extremely anxious driver, Ahmed not only helped my confidence a tonne but also was great at explaining everything and very knowledgeable. He is an amazing instructor, always patient and encouraging which really helped me. I went from not thinking i’d ever be confident enough to take my test to passing first time after a couple months of lessons, and it was all down to Ahmed’s lessons, I went from scared of driving to loving it and looking forward to lessons! Definitely recommend booking with him!!”

“I used AA to do my driving lessons and chose Huw Edmunds in Oxford. He is an amazing driving instructor and helped me pass in just a few short months, he was very patient and calm, which really helps with confidence as a learner. He was great with changing lessons if needed and making sure he’d fit people. Very highly recommended booking with Huw.”

“I passed my test a few weeks ago after about 6 lessons with Huw Edmunds. He was the best instructor I’ve had by a long way - he was very patient and keen to adapt his teaching to however I learnt best. He was very patient and encouraging which greatly increased my confidence. He was also very good at spending a majority of the lesson time doing practise test routes and areas I found difficult. He was incredibly helpful in organising lessons and blocking out time slots for me near my test. I have already recommended Huw as an instructor to a friend!”
