“I passed my test today first time with no fault thanks to Andy Carrick. He’s a good instructor who’s very patient, knowledgeable, and very informative. I recommend him if you want to pass first time!”

“I passed my test today, with only one minor, and am very happy about it! My instructor, Farideh, was absolutely wonderful. I started lessons with her quite close to my test date, and there were a few issues we had to work around in between, but even in such a short period, she was so kind, patient and very supportive. I could not have passed like this without her help. She is very clear in giving instructions, patient when you need more help and time, and never gets irritated or angry when teaching. I recommend her to anyone and everyone and will genuinely miss my lessons with her!”

“I passed my driving test today. Zahid Ali was incredibly patient, supportive, and fully committed to helping me succeed. Every session was well organised, engaging, and focused on the areas where I needed the most improvement. Step by step, we worked through every weakness, and with each lesson I became more confident and better prepared. Zahid always created a positive learning environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and challenging myself. Thanks to his dedication and guidance, I passed my exam with confidence. I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to train with Zahid, and I genuinely couldn’t have achieved this result without him. Thank you once again for all your hard work and support. I would highly recommend Zahid Ali to anyone looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring diving instructor.”

“I would like to thank my driving instructor Janet for helping me on my journey with driving. Janet is an empowering and inspiring instructor to be around, tackles all mistakes you make whilst having you giggle in moments and allows you to practice until you get it right. I originally had my test date booked for August but I wanted to move it closer and within a months time, I was able to make a remarkable amount of improvement with Janet, and passed with just two minors which I know I could have avoided. Thanks to Janet, I feel confident and ready to drive on the road now as a legal driver.”

“Ahmad Zia Kohistani is a very good driving instructor. He is quite strict, but he teaches extremely well and is committed to helping his students become safe and confident drivers. His teaching style may not suit someone who isn't patient, but if you are willing to listen, learn, and trust the process, you will make great progress. He pays attention to detail, corrects mistakes thoroughly, and prepares you well for the driving test. I appreciate all his guidance and would recommend him to anyone who is serious about learning to drive.”

“After failing a previous test attempt with another instructor, I lost confidence in trying to pass the test. After learning with Freddie for the last 6 months, he helped reinforce my confidence and skills, and remove my bad habits behind the wheel. Amazing instructor and would recommend to anyone that get the chance to learn with him”

“Mohamed Shekh Mohamed is a very responsible, professional, and encouraging instructor in Bristol. I trained with him and passed my manual car driving exam with ZERO mistakes! Originally, I failed my first test with another instructor in Avonmouth Bristol. Then I found Mohamed to reinforce my training on test routes and conduct multiple mock tests. Mohamed knows all the test routes and could clearly explain what my mistakes were and how to avoid them during every mock test. Through multiple professional training sessions, we successfully completed many mock tests within two weeks, and I passed my manual test with 0 faults. His car also has hill-start assist, so it felt very easy to adapt to the car! Highly recommend this gentleman!”

“It was so nice to have Atiqa Javid as my amazing instructor who helped me past FIRST TIME in Morden! You’ll be lucky to have her! Despite her busy schedule, she made time to let me know when she had availability with her weekly text to keep up to date with lessons. She built my confidence and never let me give up because she believed I could do it. She taught me how to deal with different situations to take with me after I passed. Kind and friendly. Would definitely recommend her to anyone! 10/10 :)”

“I learnt to drive with Atiqa Javid. She is a fantastic teacher. I went from a beginner to passing my test on the first go, and there’s no way I could have done it without her. Atiqa is a patient and calm teacher, and always encouraging. She would tailor my lessons to where I was up to, and where I needed more practice. She made sure I understood what I was doing, talking through manoeuvres before and after and giving constructive feedback. She is very perceptive, and noticing when I wasn’t as sure about something, and making sure to go through it until I wa confident. She knew how important for me to pass first time (due to upcoming life changes), and she was fantastic at building up my confidence and getting me ready for the test. I’d recommend Atiqa to anyone wanting to learn to drive. I will miss our lessons!”

“More than happy with my lessons and AA instructor Abir from the South East London area. He is such a patient person and very attentive. He was able to spot my driving weaknesses which we managed to work on in a few months and I was test ready (this was my second practical as I failed my first one). I passed with Abir with only 1 minor fault. Couldn't rate Abir more highly. Thank you so much for all your words of wisdom.”
