I would not recommend using Asif at all. His lateness to our lessons and lack of communication is very unprofessional. Even taking days before getting a response. His response to me informing him of his unprofessional conduct was that "I should be professional too and get my maths right, that he was 16 minutes late not 26 minutes late" This makes no difference, late is late. He has been very disrespectful, would not recommend.

The School has a very professional approach to teaching and learning at a very good price per lesson. The instructor Ahmed was an excellent instructor for me as he helped me navigate through all my shortcomings and mistakes. Thank you Ahmed for pushing me to my limit within 2months of time and 22 lessons.

Abeer is the best!

I had a great experience learning to drive with Abeer. She is patient, caring, and always made me feel comfortable and confident. Her sense of humor made every lesson enjoyable and stress-free. She explained everything clearly and always supported me. I failed 3 times before trying her out and She even cut her very important trip back home short just to make sure she can come with me on my test and I fortunately passed I’m so grateful I highly recommend Abeer to anyone looking for a kind and professional driving instructor.-Victoria

I want to say a very big thank you to…

I want to say a very big thank you to my instructor Bill, he was patient enough with me and taught me all I needed to know to pass. There was a little ups and down with me but even with the situation Bill never stopped to encourage me. Kuddos to you Bill if you see this, just know that you are amazing. I also want to commend my examiner Micheal who gave me the room to be comfortable, he was very kind and professional

Refusing to complete lessons - AVOID!

I had an Instructor called Mustafa who refused me to complete my 10 lesson bundle. I had 3 lessons left of my bundle which apparently expires after 3 months which is ridiculous. I had surgery so I wasnt able to have a lesson for a couple months. Going to pursue making a formal complaint to DVSA and the citizen advice bureauDefinitely avoid!!

Outstanding Driving Instructor – Highly Recommended

Very encouraging, friendly, and supportive instructor. I failed my first test, but thanks to Abeer’s patience, clear guidance, and confidence in me, I passed in less than two weeks. She supported me every step of the way and truly helped me believe in myself. I couldn’t have done it without her.

Passed my driving test!

Passed my driving test with Anup as my instructor! An amazing instructor, I instantly felt comfortable from the first lesson. The lessons were fun and he knew how to critique my driving, leading me to success. Thank you.
