It was a difficult journey for me to get the driving license in the UK. However, My instructor Samira makes it easier for me. I get my license in one attempt with 15 lessons and all credit goes to that lady who is not only a instructor but also a lady with lamp for me.
Wish you all the best Samira and an advice to new comer, please contact with her. She can help you to be a good and safe driver in this country.

I can't thank Hojjat enough for his patience and encouragement during my driving lessons. He helped me overcome my nervousness and build my driving skills. I highly recommend him as a driving instructor in London.

Delighted to pass my test on the first go and all thanks to Samira. She really goes over on all the ways to pass. If you are struggling on a manoeuvre or couple, Samira will go over until you can successfully fulfill the standard manoeuvre. Definitely recommend.

Unbelievable instructor. Taught me all the test routes in Barnet inside/out. On the day of my test there was nothing I hadn't seen before. Always on time, never cancelled. I would recommend to anyone serious about learning to drive. Don't mess this lady about she has a long waiting list - took me 2 weeks to get booked back in with her because I cancelled one lesson. That's how good she is!

Test tip of the month for Finchley

When you are on the independent driving part of the test, it's common to miss your mirrors and signalling when listening to and following the satnav. Remember, every time you hear a new direction, be prepared to check your mirrors and put a signal on if needed.

Useful driving test tip for Finchley Show more

Useful driving test tip for Finchley

You can fail your test for driving too slow or too fast. Don't make sudden changes if you sense the examiner is looking over at your speedo. Just gently come off the gas or gently apply more depending on if you are going too slow or fast.
