Before learning with Israar I’d had 9 lessons with a previous instructor which had left me seriously lacking in confidence. In the first 5 minutes of my first lesson with Israar I had learned more than I had in 9 hours of previous tuition. By the end of the lesson Israar had talked me through every issue I was having & how to fix each problem. For the first time in 10 weeks of driving I finally felt like I was in control of the car. As an instructor Israar is kind, patient & encouraging. He is excellent at building a lesson around your needs & preferences, providing assistance when needed while helping build your confidence to drive independently. Any concerns I had were always established at the start of the lesson & addressed as a priority. All of these things meant I was able to pass my test on the first attempt. A fantastic instructor, who I can highly recommend.

Lee is a fantastic instructor, I passed my driving test first time after just a month and around eight to nine lessons with him.

Israar is a great driving instructor. He is incredibly patient and creates a relaxed environment in the car. On the first lesson he asked me how I preferred to learn and throughout my driving lessons continued to teach in this way, which was incredibly helpful. He was very clear in his explanations before, during and after driving which allowed me to progress significantly. He was incredibly supportive which I believe was a significant factor in allowing me to pass first time. I would highly recommend Israar as a driving instructor!

Would definitely recommend Israar as an instructor. My 17 year old has just passed, first test. He was nervous learning at first but Israar made him feel confident and he enjoyed his lessons. It was easy to organise lessons around his school and exam commitments and Israar was flexible. He responded quickly to messages and provided lots of feedback for him to work on. Younger son will learn with him when old enough.

I started doing lessons with Israar at the grand old age of 37, not entirely sure i'd stick at it after an awful experience trying to learn in my 20s. He has been extremely patient and has been able to explain things in ways I could understand, and because of that my learning experience has been top notch. I passed today first time with 1 minor which I couldn't have done without his guidance and support, i'll be recommending him to anyone in Leeds looking to do lessons!

I could not recommend Israar more! I went from a really nervous and unconfident driver to passing first time with all of his help. Every lesson I felt like I progressed and the lessons on the build up to my test each had a focus and he would always ask me what I would like to work on to focus on those things worrying me most. He always kept a calm and cool presence in the car which was really helpful in keeping me focused and calm. Thanks so much again Israar for all of your help with getting me to pass!

I would like to leave feedback about my instructor, Israar Zaman. He is an excellent instructor and a true professional. He teaches very well and explains everything clearly, calmly, and patiently.Whenever I made mistakes, he never got upset. Instead, he always explained where I was wrong, what I needed to improve, and how I could improve it. He gave me many useful tips and also sent me videos that I could watch several times to help me prepare better for my driving test.Our lessons always had a very friendly and comfortable atmosphere. If I had any questions, he always told me that I could ask him anything at any time, and he would explain everything in detail.I am very grateful that I had such an instructor as Israar. Thank you so much for teaching me how to drive confidently. Because of your guidance, I now feel ready to be a good and responsible driver on the road.Most importantly, with his help I passed my driving test on the first attempt! Thank you once again for everything.

I can’t big him up enough, he’s very patient and passionate about what he does. He gives you clear and precise instructions with strong guidance that will have you feeling confident and prepared for your test. He goes over and beyond to help you with tips and tricks for manoeuvres that I’ve exclusively heard from him which helped me ace my test. If you want; a reliable, easy to talk to, professional and outstanding instructor to get you out on the roads feeling confident and safe with your skills as a driver go to Israar for your lessons.

From unconfident and inexperienced, Lee ran me through all the basics and within a month and a half left me brimming with confidence. Lee’s style of instructing is very calm and I never felt uneasy or scared to make mistakes and Lee constantly reassured me with the right thing to do. Passed first time thanks to Lee. He has an ipad and draws excellent diagrams to explain any questions you may have and tailors your learning experience right from the first lesson. Lee is quick to understand your learning style and you will be guaranteed instant progress! If you want a calm, gentle and peaceful approach to driving, Lee is definitely your ideal instructor!

I passed today 30 January. I am 47 and never thought i woukd be able to, I did an introduction lesson back last year to see how it went, and I was so impressed with Israar teaching and patience right away he made me feel at ease and less stressed. Israar, was great, knowledgeable and offered the best tips how to pass on manoeuvres and was always very encouraging. After only a few lessons he had my confidence up, even through my blips and having moments where I didn't think I was good enough, Israar, got me to stay in the moment and give me that moral boosting talks. Not just on lesson, but having the reports sent to me give me that all important boost. Thanks a lot..

Excellent instructor. I would recommend Israar to anyone. He is incredibly knowledgeable, highly professional, and has a genuine care for his work. Israar's patience and empathy shine through, giving confidence to the learner; whilst embedding challenge that is appropriate to the individual needs of the learner. Israar does not consider learners to be homogenous, he will develop a driving plan and provide tailored and structured 1-1 feedback and support that allows you to excel. I am very happy with my outcome; recieving a 1st time pass thanks to Israar's teachings. Thanks Israar, you have been amazing 10/10.

I have no words that can clearly express my gratitude towards my instructor Israar. The level of patience and constant assurance is beyond this world. His determination for good results has drawn us to him and we got more than an instructor( a friend). Personally i cant thank him enough for moulding me into becoming a fully licenced driver booming with confidence and a zeal to learn more. He is an ambassador for the driving school. Thank you so much Israar Zaman

I went through quite a few instructors before meeting Lee and he really is the best. He is extremely good at his job- with clear instructions, tons of patience and constant good advice. He is also very professional- his car is always spotless, he is always on time and he is really personable too. His teaching is not only the reason I passed my test first time, but will be the reason I go on driving as safely as possible. 100% recommend.

Israar is the best teacher in my life, trust me. I’m not a young student who just trying to pass first test in his life but I’m doing this in different country, in different language, with complete different rules. This guy can teach me in just 11 hours and explain me everything I really need to safely drive in UK. I have been living in UK for several years but never meet friends like Israar. My respect to him and thank you sooo much for teaching me with so intense and response!!!!

I cannot recommend Israar enough as a driving instructor! I recently completed a crash course with him, and the experience was exceptional. His teaching style is brilliant—he provides clear, helpful commentary throughout the lessons, which made learning to drive feel smooth and manageable.Israar went above and beyond by sharing excellent learning resources and even texting me personalized keynotes after each lesson. These notes highlighted what I did well and what areas I needed to focus on, which greatly accelerated my progress.Thanks to his guidance, I passed my driving test on the first attempt with just two minors, all in under 15 hours. If you’re looking for a patient, professional, and dedicated driving instructor, Israar is the perfect choice!

THE BEST INSTRUCTOR!!I want to say a huge THANK YOU to ISRAAR for being an amazing driving instructor! As a deaf student, I had previous instructors which even though one had experience with deaf, they weren't patient enough to teach me. I am forever grateful to god that after many tries, I found the right one, Israar. He had no experience teaching deaf students, but he was willing to teach me. He was super kind and trusted my ability to drive. I am grateful to say I have passed my driving test on 1st attempt. It was all thanks to Israar who trusted and wanted me to pass more than I myself. He is the best instructor in Leeds, there's no one like him. He's super kind, super patient and trustworthy. You will never regret having him as an instructor. I will forever be grateful to you.

Israar was a fantastic driving instructor for me, helping me pass first time with no minors! He was always really friendly and reassuring during lessons, which was so important for me to build up my confidence. He was very patient whenever I made mistakes whilst recognising and celebrating progress that I’d made. He had a great eye for areas that I struggled in and was always planning lessons around those areas, so that I was developing as a driver each and every lesson. We covered a variety of different road types and routes, that helped develop great exam technique but also taught valuable skills that have been really useful me since passing. Cannot recommend enough!

Lee has been a fantastic driving instructor. I originally had lessons when i turned 17 and stoped at the time of pandemic and then I started uni. Having had 3 years away from driving, Lee started me on the basics and allowed me to progress at a great pace. I always felt safe and in the right hands. He used an ipad with lots of diagrams and scenarios to help me understand manoeuvres and situations before and after performing them on the road. I passed first time and couldn’t recommend Lee enough, best driving instructor I have had.

Lee can get a little frustrated at times - but this is only when he knows you can do better and instead of being patronising it actually made me want to perform better to impress. The lessons are to such a high standard and the expectation is almost perfection which makes the actual driving test much easier! Thank you

Honestly, I can’t thank Mike McGowan enough, it’s been a journey for nearly a year but from the beginning it was made clear I would make it and pass my driving test. From being really nervous and overly cautious I’ve been able to grow and develop as a driver gaining in confidence. I was always made to feel relaxed and even though mistakes were made sometimes more than once, I was always reassured I was learning and this is part of the experience of driving. I’m so glad to have an instructor believe in me from the start, lessons were enjoyable and positive. Although, I wasn’t able to pass first time the confidence that we would make it helped me to achieve. Thank you again Mike. I would strongly recommend Mike as your instructor for your driving lessons.Share

Useful Driving Test Tip For Leeds
When you have been asked to pull up on the left, you will be required to move away again when it's safe. In a busy city like Leeds, this can be tricky as you’ll have to join the flow of traffic from a stationary position. You must not force other road users to slow down or change direction. If you do, you will risk failing your test. If you don’t know, don’t go!

They will have a chat with you about your driving experience prior to this point. If you have never driven before, you will be taken to a quiet area in Leeds, like Ringwood Avenue, to practice behind the wheel away from distractions. If you have had some driving experience, your driving instructor may decide to take you out around the quieter roads in the city, such as Pendas Fields or Cookridge, to assess your ability and what you need to work on to be test-ready.
Once the lesson is over, you will have a quick debrief and go through the strengths and weaknesses of your lesson. Your instructor will also record what you covered and any advice or guidance that has been given to you for next time and for you to take away.
Yes, our driving school in Leeds has several automatic driving instructors who cover the city and the surrounding areas, including Yeadon and Horsforth. We personally choose all of our driving instructors at driveJohnson's, and they all come with a grade-A rating.

Yes, they can and they do. Our driving instructors in the city are all test route specialists and able to carry out mock tests to show you how your test likely will be on the day. Doing this will help to identify any areas you need to strengthen to get to test standard and increase your confidence, helping you tackle anything you may face on your test.
