Sadia is a professional, friendly, supportive and patient instructor. She focused on my success and helped me get over my nervousness and lack of confidence after failing my first test with a different instructor. Thank you so much!

Where to start! If you are lucky enough to have Ahmed as your driving instructor, you are in safe hands. I started with him about a year ago having lost my confidence with driving. I didn’t enjoy it and never thought I’d pass. But Ahmed’s calm manner and meticulous standards meant that I grew to love driving, and passed my test first time. It was a pleasure to spend so many hours learning to drive with him, and I’ll miss our weekly car chats!

Sadia is a great instructor, and she helped me to achieve my goal of learning to drive. I couldn't have done this without her.

I've only had 2 lessons (2hours) so far and yet driving feels so natural. I had never driven before and couldn't imagined myself behind a wheel but thanks to Paul, I've become so much more confident and comfortable behind the wheel. He is a fantastic, relaxed, reassuring, encouraging and supportive. Highly recommend

So far I've done about 7 hours with Ahmad. The lessons are good and I feel like I've done loads already, and he's said as well that I'll probably only need like 15 or 20 more hours before I'm ready to go for my test. Really glad I got given Ahmad and will make sure I recommend all my friends to go with him as well.

i could sit here and write so much about how much of an amazing instructor Ahmad is, from how gentle and patient he is to how he goes above and beyond to ensure his students completely understand the concept of how to be a safe driver. i will always be grateful for everything he has taught me and i will miss our lessons.
i will recommend him everywhere i go!

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.

Amazing instructor! Helped me pass 1st time.

Sadia was a fantastic instructor and made learning to drive a fun experience. She made me feel relaxed and at ease throughout our lessons and was always offering her time with any questions I had which I really appreciated. Couldn’t recommend Sadia enough and thank you so much for helping me pass first time :)

After taking just 27 hours I passed with 1 minor – I’m buzzing and can’t believe how simple they made it for me!

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.

I would really appreciate Yaffa because without his patience i wouldn’t have passed my driving test. He’s s really helpful and encouraged me to pass my test with his patience even though i was struggling at Cambridge roundabout, he used to tell me anything is possible so after his support and motivation I passed. I would highly recommend you to learn with him.

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.

Very fun chats,and good at calming my nerves! Very flexible with hours and considerate.

I am so glad I had Ahmad to teach me to learn to drive. He is very friendly and nice, very knowledgable, calm and patient. I am not a naturally good driver, but Ahmad got me from almost always stalling at the traffic lights (when I started) to passing and getting complimented in my driving test and passing with only 1 minor. I enjoyed our chat (we had lots of good chats) and his sense of humour. I would recommend Ahmad to anyone, he is the best instructor, and a lovely person.

Great instructor, got me through my test for the 1st time with only 2 minors.

I took refresher lessons with Ahmad after not having driven in a while, with little to no confidence in my driving skills and utterly nervous to go back behind the wheel. Ahmad’s support, guidance and patience helped me become a better driver and restored my full confidence when driving a car. I cannot thank and recommend him enough, both to new drivers as well as to those who haven’t driven in a while and would like to refresh their knowledge in a safe, supportive environment.

I had the best time learning with driveJohnson's and Sadia Nasir. She was straightforward to talk to and learn from, and I can't thank her enough. It is thanks to her that I passed without any minor faults.

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!

Sadia is top instructor! I am so glad I got taught by her, very paciente and understanding definitely made me feel comfortable and with her help and support I managed to Pass my driving test so congrats to you as well Sadia!

Wish you all the best x

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

I fee truly blessed to have had Ahmad as my driving instructor. Having not driven for almost 7 years since getting my full license, I was apprehensive to return to driving again, as I wasn’t sure how quickly I’d adjust. Thankfully, Ahmad’s clear and calm approach meant that I felt so comfortable, I settled into driving again much sooner than I’d anticipated. Ahmad is a great communicator and super reliable as well as knowledgeable. He is the best instructor to learn from for a reason !! He knows the roads, is amazing at explaining things and will never let you make a mistake without having the opportunity to correct it. I feel more confident now than ever before and I know he will always be here for me if I need him. I would 100% recommend learning to drive with 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.

I couldn’t recommend Sadia enough. She is a wonderful instructor who is very patient with all aspects in your lessons. She supported me and did everything she could to accommodate me and my personal life to give lessons and support I needed. Boosting my confidence even when I didn’t believe in myself. Thank you Sadia

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.

I passed my test today. I could not have done it without Sadia. She helped me calm my nerves and trust my instincts. Before, I was so nervous and anxious behind the wheel but you helped me become more relaxed and a safer driver. I have your voice in my head directing and guiding me throughout the test which helped😂. I wanna say thanks again for all your support!!

wicked instructor!! i've been doing lessons ffor ages n ahmad assessed me, did another 6 hours with me n we booked the test. i passed it n that wouldnt of been possible if it werent for ahmad!! sound guy, easy lessons and prices were decent.

An outstanding teacher who makes learning fun and cheerful. He made sure I understood everything completely and wouldn’t give up until I got it. The most patient instructor, I would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive manually.

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 recently passed my practical driving test. My instructor was the best instructor in the whole world, SADIA NASIR, and I am very pleased with the experience. Mrs Sadia is an exceptional driving instructor who combines professionalism with a friendly and supportive teaching style.
I highly recommend Sadia Nasir to anyone looking to learn how to drive. The lessons were not only educational but also enjoyable, making the entire learning process smooth and effective.

Thank you, Mrs Sadia, for helping me become a confident and safe driver!

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.

I couldn’t thank enough for Sadia. Her professionalism, and dedication to her job lead to my Pass result from the first time. She might be strict, but she will make you achieve the best driving you can

Ahmad is an incredible instructor!! Very patient and is exceptional in helping to correct errors and building confidence. I passed first time with all the knowledge he has given me and would recommend him to all dedicated students.

Passed my test 1st time with Paul, would highly recommend this instructor

Passed with Ahmad today at Chingford his a good teacher and I’ve don’t 10 hour crash course where we were going through the test route which made me confident for the test

He is an amazing instructor. He had doubts at first, but I beat the odds and came out successfully. I only got a few driving faults because the driving instructor standard is so high. Trust me, you cannot fail with Mr. Ahmad.

Sadia is super supportive and reassuring! In every lesson you can see her desire to see you succeed. A great instructor

Passed in my first attempt with Ahmed after 4 failed attempts with a different instructor. Thanks a lot flexibility as well!

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!

When first starting lessons I went with automatic because it seemed easier and I wasn’t confident that I would be able to drive a manual. A few years later and I decided to take it really serious and commit to lessons and that. I called them and the girl on the phone said to give manual a try first as you have more freedom. I took 35 hours and went for my test, passed with 6 minors and couldn’t be happier with the result

Sadia is an excellent instructor, she is very motivated, professional, caring, funny, warm and knowledgeable. She leads me to pass exam very easy. She build up my self-esteem and confidence on the road, she brought lots of positivity into my live. I will miss her so so so much

Thank you
Sadia

Sending you lots of love ❤️ 😍 💖

I had a great time learning with Sadia. She is the best instructor in Goodmayes by far.

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 have really enjoyed my driving lessons with Paul, I was a very nervous learner, Paul made learning to drive seem really easy, I have now passed thanks to Paul.

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!

Ahmad is the best instructor. Honestly 5 stars isn’t enough to describe how good this man is at teaching other people how to drive.

Ahmad is an AMAZING instructor. I passed my driving test the first time thanks to his rigorous and attentive teaching. I’m really grateful for having him as my instructor, he takes the time to explain every single detail about driving, never puts any pressure, very patient and also punctual. I always felt relaxed about driving, he is also very easy to talk to and friendly.
Finally his gives great driving recommendations and advices that are extremely helpful for the test and for the everyday driving too.
I absolutely recommend him, anyone would be lucky to have him as their instructor.

I passed with Ahmad as my driving instructor. His instructions are clear and allows you to learn at your own pace. Throughout my journey of taking driving lessons with Ahmad, he has made me feel at ease which has made the whole process more enjoyable. I was able to progress in each and every lesson whilst increasing my confidence level on the road. I admire how punctual he was for every lesson. He takes his job very seriously,
Overall its was a wonderful experience. I would recommend Ahmad as an instructor for anyone regardless of their driving experience.

I will highly recommend my instructor Ahmed Abdur . He helped me to improve my driving beyond test.
I have been lucky to have him as my instructor and thankful to him for transforming me into a confident driver on the road. I have passed my exam in first attempt and truly enjoyed entire experience of learning with him .

Fantastic instructor, calm and relaxed but never complacent. Lots of great conversation and non-stressful drives. Also did my pass plus with Ahmad!

Test tip of the month for Walthamstow

Sometimes you will try to overtake someone, and then they increase their speed. Pretty annoying, right? If this happens on your test, just eat some humble pie and retreat back into the left-hand lane. The alternative is getting into a race, possibly breaking the speed limit, resulting in a big fat FAIL at the end of your test.

Useful driving test tip for Walthamstow Show more

Useful driving test tip for Walthamstow

It's another classic, but many learners think they should offset their mirrors, so they must move their heads more during the test. You should be able to check your mirrors by moving your eyes - not your head. The examiners are trained to look out for eye checks rather than head movements. Moving your head may cause the examiner to think your mirrors are not set up correctly.
