I highly recommend Abdul as a driving instructor. I passed my driving test first time, and I truly believe his excellent teaching and guidance played a big role in my success.
Abdul is very thorough and explains not only what to do but also why to do it, which helped me understand different driving situations and build confidence behind the wheel. He always carries a driving booklet with pictures to explain scenarios clearly, making it much easier to visualise and learn.
He is polite, patient, professional, and creates a calm and supportive learning environment. I really appreciated his dedication and the effort he put into every lesson. Thank you, Abdul, for your guidance and support — I would highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive. Read Less

Waited 3 weeks for them to get back to me. Finally an instructor called then booked me in, then the day before the lesson he text saying he wasn't feeling well and cancelled. Didn't even bother to reschedule. Waited 5 weeks in total. Very disappointing.
I have just seen a response on here, the driving instructor was called John. He never did call to reschedule. Also I must add that when I 1st called I was told it was a 2 week wait for manual lessons I waited a bit longer. That's why I said I waited 5weeks because when John called he said I'd have to wait 2 weeks. Then he cancelled on the day before saying he was unwell. Maybe It was just my luck because most reviews seem quite positive. If I do call back I won't be asking for John as he let me down. Thanks Read Less
