Passed first time. Ahmad made time for me and was very helpful. Very supportive and knowledgeable throughout each lesson. He was great company for all my 33hrs of lessons. Thanks again Ahmad

Loved learning to drive with Hassan and if you need to pass make sure you choose to learn with him.

Great teacher and has great techniques to help you learn the tips and tricks to learning to drive.

Ahmad was extremely patient and friendly on all of our lessons. He made sure that I had enough experience with all of the manoeuvres, junctions, roundabouts and dual carriageways that I would encounter in day to day driving and on the test route. I passed my test using all of the knowledge and tips that Ahmad provided on our lessons. Thank you!

Ahmad taught my Son Daniel, who had previous experience of an instructor who was not up to standard and quite rude and negative. Ahmad showed professionalism and enthusiasm in teaching my Son. Very personable and knowledgeable. A good communicator.
Taught my Son well and showed confidence in him. My Son Daniel passed his test at Wanstead this morning.
Thank you very much Ahmad. I certainly recommend you to anyone who needs a compassionate and knowledgeable Instructor.

Ahmad was my driving instructor. He was very patient and allowed me to progress at my own pace. He was also supportive during my lessons and always gave constructive feedback when appropriate.

Ahmad is a great teacher and pedagogue. He is very patient, friendly and fun to chat with. Always a great pleasure to have lessons with him, his calmness is reassuring and he helped me to learn in a confident way. I feel very lucky that he was my instructor. Thanks to his teaching, support and great kindness, I passed my test the first time.

I had an exceptional experience learning to drive with Ahmad. From the very start, he made me feel at ease, offering clear guidance and consistent support throughout every lesson. Ahmad’s calm and patient approach helped me build confidence behind the wheel, and his thorough feedback was invaluable in refining my skills. His professionalism and friendly demeanor made every lesson enjoyable, and I always looked forward to our sessions. Thanks to his expert teaching, I passed my test first time. I highly recommend Ahmad to anyone looking for a top-notch instructor.

Passed my test with Ahmad and I can vouch for his skills a driving instructor. I have been through many instructors and Ahmad was by far the best. Unlike most other instructors he is patient with you and knows how to teach well whilst not lacking in any other area of being an instructor. He is also lovely driving and talking and share many wisdoms with you. I think this comes from the fact that he is also a Imam and used to teach Arabic so he has much more experience than most instructors.

I had a great time learning to drive with Hassan and I am so happy to have passed as it has allowed me to be all sorted before my exams start! Thanks for everything Hassan.

Abdul is an excellent driving instructor who genuinely cares about his students' progress. He provided constructive feedback and tailored the lessons to focus on my weaknesses. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my test confidently.

Me and my partner both decide to do lessons and get our licenses as fast as we can. I called drive jhonsons and arranged lessons for me and her, and we both got given ahmad ( who is very nice and great instructor ). If you need lessons then we must tell you that ahmad will be best instructor ever!

Ahmad has been such an incredible instructor!

He's friendly, patient and makes sure that you learn all the required techniques properly.

He helped me pass in 2021 and now through his guidance assisted me with my pass plus!

It's an absolute pleasure learning with Ahmad.

My instruction with Ahmad was fantastic. He picked me up for the first lesson & I must have been a nervous wreck - but we drove for about 10 minutes to somewhere quieter, then he showed me the basics of moving the vehicle, and off we went! After 20 hours I had to take a break in my lessons for personal reasons, but when I resumed Ahmad was more than happy to continue with me and see me through my driving test! A very happy Hannah that shows off for taking 32 hours & passing her test 1st time with 1 minor!

Ahmad is a very supportive and friendly instructor. I passed with him today after 8 lessons he identifies your weak spots and gives you tips on how to improve them which he did with me.
Can’t thank him enough thank you so much Ahmad.

Ahmad is one of the most caring and intelligent instructors out there. He consistently delivered with excellent teaching and feedback. Ahmad is very calm and makes driving easy and fun during his lessons. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for enthusiasm whilst learning enabling them to great success in their driving journey. Thanks to Ahmad I have past my driving test with only 2 minors.

Ahmad is a very talented and sensitive teacher. I was terrified of driving after having made many mistakes over 20 years ago. Ahmad slowly built my confidence methodically and thoughtfully and with great results. Thanks Ahmad. A true pedagogue :)

Hassan is an absolutely amazing instructor, he always kept me nice and calm when I was learning to drive and thanks to him I was able to pass my test on my first attempt after just 26 hours of lessons with not a single minor.

I am so happy to have passed, I started my lessons in December and thanks to Hassans teaching I was able to pass first time aswell.

Abdul is an outstanding driving instructor in London. He was reliable, flexible with scheduling, and had a wealth of knowledge about the driving test requirements. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for driving lessons.

I had 10 hours of driving lessons with Ahmed in preparation for moving to the US because I wanted some manual experience. I found him to be calm and considerate allowing me to work at my own pace to become familiar with driving. I’ll keep his number incase I ever come back to the UK and need a manual driving instructor!

The best driving instructor I’ve ever had. Very polite and friendly. Gave me a lot of confidence to pass my test

I had a wonderful experience learning to drive with Abdul. He was always professional, patient, and ensured that I understood each concept thoroughly. His expertise and guidance were invaluable.

Abdul is an amazing driving instructor. His vast knowledge of the London roads and test routes helped me become familiar with the area. I passed my test thanks to his guidance and support.

Ahmad is an amazing instructor who teaches you everything. He is extremely calm and never yells so you don't get frightened. He allows you to make mistakes, correct them and overall explains why you were wrong in a calm manner. The best instructor I have met!

I can't thank Abdul enough for his exceptional instruction. He was patient, understanding, and always maintained a positive attitude. Learning to drive with him was a wonderful experience.

I took refresher courses with Ahmad a few years after passing my driving test to restore my confidence on the road.

Ahmad is simply fantastic as an instructor - he's attentive, great to talk to, and has practical and easily memorable tips that I can take away with me as I drive out in the world on my own. He's done wonders to restore my confidence in (and enjoyment of) driving and taught me a lot.

I highly recommend him, and wish him all the best in the future!

I passed first time with Ahmad. He knew exactly what I needed from the very first day. He had a lot of confidence in me and kept encouraging me.

Learning to drive with Abdul was a fantastic experience. He was professional, punctual and made each lesson enjoyable. His expertise and guidance were invaluable in helping me pass my driving test.

Top instructor and couldn't recommend him enough.

A professional instructor who brings the best out you, builds up confidence and passion for driving. A very knowledgeable person outside of driving. A person who is an instructor and a mentor. Highly recommend anyone to learn with Ahmad.

Abdul's teaching style is outstanding. He broke down complex manoeuvres into manageable steps, making them easier to grasp. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to learn to drive in London.

I passed first time with Ahmad who I think is a fantastic instructor. He's friendly, chatty and puts you at ease, which is important when navigating tricky situations on city roads. But at the same time he's always completely on the ball when it comes to your driving. His feedback is focused, constructive and kind, plus his tips and visual references were a great help during my test. Thanks Ahmad!

Ahmad was a great instructor and I passed my test first time. He quickly moves you on to the next level and suggests you book your test as soon as you are ready. Friendly and chatty but always 100% focused on what you are doing.

Ahmad is a great instructor, very patient and thorough. He provides you with the needed confidence in order to pass. I passed first time and I was extremely satisfied with his service.

Ahmad is an amazing teacher. Every lesson was such a joy. He is calm and reassuring, and I felt like I could actually make mistakes, get feedback, learn and improve, while enjoying the whole process. Ahmad is an excellent driver, and could notice the slightest mistakes in my driving and instantly deliver feedback in such a way that I never felt bad. I passed the exam the first time with a couple minors after 2 months of lessons, and more importantly, feel very confident on the road while driving.

I will miss my lessons with Ahmad, talking about everything whilst still learning. Choosing Ahmad as an instructor is almost guaranteed to get you a pass if you listen to him and take on what he says. Thank you for everything Ahmad!

I recently took refresher lessons with Ahmad, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Even though I already had my license, I wanted to rebuild my confidence, and Ahmad was the perfect instructor for that.

He is incredibly calm and an excellent communicator, making it easy to understand what I needed to focus on without feeling overwhelmed. His approach was patient and supportive, giving me the space to ask questions and work on specific areas. Plus, he’s a great conversationalist, which made each lesson very enjoyable.

Whether you're new to driving or just looking to brush up on your skills like I was, I highly recommend Ahmad. He’ll help you feel confident and safe behind the wheel again!

I had an outstanding experience with Ahmad as my driving instructor. From day one, he was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. He was always friendly and a joy to talk to.

I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled driving instructor.

I can thoroughly recommend him to all students. Thank you Ahmad, it was a pleasure to learn with you!
