Fantastic experience: Passed today with Ewelina with only 1 minor and roughly 12-15 lessons with the lovely lady, I was so comfortable learning with Ewelina, she was very chatty and laid back but also so detailed with teaching visually using a booklet to show and then verbally also. Cannot recommend her enough to anybody wanting to go automatic! Will miss having my weekly lessons and chit chat, see you on the road :)
Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Dawood is the best instructor ever! Passed today with him. He’s so humble and teaches so brilliantly. I would definitely recommend doing lessons with him.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Hello everyone, I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience with you. I was fortunate to come across Drive Buddi (Mr. Zuber) through a friend's recommendation. Let me take you back to the beginning of my journey. On a beautiful afternoon in May, I hopped into an Uber and struck up a conversation with the driver. I mentioned to the driver that I was in need of a driving instructor and that passing my driving test was crucial for my promotion to Senior Healthcare Assistant. The driver recommended Mr. Zuber to me, and I decided to give it a shot by purchasing the first block of 10 hours. I was truly impressed with Mr. Zuber's instruction, so I signed up for another block of 10 hours. To my amazement, I passed my driving test on the first try, just as the Uber driver had promised. I am beyond grateful, wishing I could give Mr. Zuber 100 stars for his outstanding support.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I have recently had the pleasure of learning to drive with Zuber, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. After about 15 hours worth of lessons, I passed my driving test on the first attempt and I owe a lot of that success to Zuber's excellent instruction. Throughout the lessons, Zuber was calm and patient which made the learning process easier and the experience less stressful, which helped me build confidence. I highly recommend Zuber to anyone looking to learn to drive
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor than Sharmila. Her supportive teaching style made all the difference in my learning experience. Sharmila's patience and ability to explain things clearly helped me build confidence behind the wheel. Her constructive feedback was invaluable in improving my driving skills. Thanks to her excellent instruction, I felt fully prepared and passed my test with ease. I highly recommend Sharmila to anyone seeking a driving instructor.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with my driving instructor, Sharmila. Throughout my lessons, she was incredibly supportive, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Sharmila provided clear explanations and constructive feedback that significantly improved my skills. Thanks to her, I felt prepared and passed my test. I highly recommend Sharmila to anyone looking for an exceptional driving instructor.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: My instructor Zuber was very patient and kind. He built up my confidence in my driving and allowed me to pass my driving test.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: All the staff were extremely helpful in assisting me with last minute lesson booking and they offered me a full refund on pre-booked classes due to test cancellation.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: After a failed attempt with another instructor, I can say that I was lucky to meet Mo. A fantastic instructor who does his best to make you understand the rules and different driving techniques so that you become a responsible driver. I have no words to thank him enough! I highly recommend!
Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I just passed my test today and wanted to say it’s all thanks to Dawood. He has been an incredibly patient instructor and also a good friend. He helped me build not just my driving skills but also my confidence on the road. I will be forever grateful for his guidance. :)
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Zuber was amazing instructor. Was patient and encouraging. Ultimately helped me pass the test. Highly recommended.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I passed my test today with ZERO minors, thanks to Abdellatif. He was a great instructor, who taught me how to drive safely on the road not only during lessons but to be a safe driver for life. He was always ready to explain anything that I didn’t understand and made sure that he delivers the lessons clear. Any lessons I wanted him to go over he was happy to go over them again. I highly recommend him. Once again thank you Abdellatif and Drive Buddy. Rabia
Thank you
Fantastic experience: This review is for the driving instructor Abdellatif. I started with no driving experience. We did two lessons a week consistently. Today, I passed my driving test with zero minors. This was my first try at the test. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Zuber was amazing very patient and went the extra mile to get me the pass on the first test. Couldn’t recommend him more, very good teacher.
Thanks
Negative experience: Have had an instructor Dawood and he use inappropriate word such as “Naughty “ for not telling him in advance that I have an appointment straight after lesson in 45 minutes time. Yet, on a website doesn’t give an accurate information about that they pick up or drop off( can drive through a location where need to be within lesson hours and have more experience of different routes etc) to certain places where students needed to be on time. However, myself couldn’t get time to ask him an advance that I can drive through where I need be. He use this word “Naughty” twice while being a student which everyone doesn’t like it all. As though without admitting and having conversation he off me from system while my test is only 4 weeks away. As well, when I ask for available slot after this incident he ask me to make a call and discuss my requirements ( yet, he already took me off from taking lessons anyways) rather being an honest an professional. Absolutely trouble maker while at an absolute busy schedule and made me search for another instructor. Lastly, each an every single creation have been thought to use a tongue in a correct manner. To make him understand I used a reference from a Holly book which he didn’t like.
Hi Rubina, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We have investigated your claims and the evidence presented to us suggests your review is completely out of context and untrue in many ways. We are sorry your experience with us isn’t as we would like but this is the first negative review we have had about Dawood out of over 100 so you can understand the shock when we read your review. I am not going to go into detail on here about what we have found but my advice to you would be to find a female instructor who has the same religious beliefs as you and maybe to keep religion and holy scriptures out of your lessons. We wish you all the best and every success.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience. My instructor Sharmila was very supportive throughout and friendly. She made sure I was calm, able to drive safely and that I was confident before taking my test, which helped immensely on the day. I highly recommend Sharmila!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Was lucky enough to find the DriveBuddi company who were very responsive in good time allowing me to book in blocks which was very convenient. I had the pleasure to have ZUBER as my instructor. Very professional, patient and knowledgeable. I passed after 10 hours with him and felt comfortable the whole time. I can’t recommend ZUBER and DriveBuddi enough. Game changers.
Thanks
Fantastic experience: Michael was amazing, I passed first time with him. Better than my last instructor. I had the best experience!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend zuber enough. Best instructor in Leicester by far. Went from being the dodgiest learner in Leicester to passing first time after only 12 hours with this legend. If you are nervous about driving I recommend asking for zuber personally always remained calm patient and professional.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I was originally learning with another company but after 2 failed tests I decided to change to the instructor/company my wife had used to pass first time. Mo is a legendary instructor, really nice guy, he is very thorough with what he teaches and does it in such a way that it it is easy to understand. I felt very comfortable learning with him. I found out, after having lessons with Drive Buddi, that there were alot of things my previous instructor hadn't even taught me so I wasn't fully prepared for my first 2 tests. After having around a months worth of lessons with Mo I felt alot more confident and passed with one minor. Thank you very much and I would definitely recommend trying drive Buddi for your lessons. I am very grateful they helped me to pass.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: My instructor, Sharmila was an excellent driving instructor for me. She is full of warmth, guidance and knowledge. She helped me get through plenty of lessons and through my first fail. I feel more confident and reliable now as a passed learner. I highly recommend her as an instructor if you want to find a friend in your instructor. I will miss her greatly.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I recently passed my driving test and choosing SHARMILA as an instructor was a game changer. From the initial booking process to the final test she provided exceptional service. She took the time to explain concepts clearly and provided constructive feedback that allowed me to improve more. The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and supportive throughout the entire learning journey.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Abdellatif Is a good driving instructor, his patience while teaching and took his time to explain every step and point during the lessons. I passed first time, all thanks to his good work. Thank you.
Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Abdellatif is an outstanding instructor. His clear guidance and patient approach makes learning to drive easy and enjoyable. Thanks to him, I passed my driving test on the first attempt. From knowing nothing about driving to confidently tackling any situation, I owe my success on the road to his exceptional teaching. Passing my driving test on the first attempt is a testament to his exceptional teaching skills thank you again!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Dawood best instructor , I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional driving lessons you have provided. Your skills as an instructor are truly admirable, and I feel fortunate to have learned from the best. Thank you for your patience, guidance, and expertise in helping me become a better driver. I appreciate your dedication and commitment to teaching. With sincere thanks,
Thank you

Thank you
Fantastic experience: I had shamila as my instructor. she was patient, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable behind the wheel.

Fantastic experience: Mick is a fantastic instructor - I passed first try! Very good at building your confidence so you can drive both smoothly and safely. He is very patient which makes the lessons a lot more relaxing and enjoyable. I would recommend him to anyone looking for lessons in Wigston.
Thank you

Thank you
Fantastic experience: Dawood is an amazing driving instructor. He is polite, funny and knowledgeable. I recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. As someone learning to drive at 41 my confidence level was pretty low, as was the belief I could actually get to the test stage, let alone pass it. The way he works with the curriculum, adapts it for you to understand it better, and the amount of confidence he instils is fantastic. I've had other driving instructors and none of them got me to stage of passing. Even when I thought things were dire his patience and belief in me made all the difference and I passed today. I genuinely can't thank him enough.
Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Thankful for Sadia, as I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. She helped me boost my confidence as a nervous driver and always helped and assisted at the best of her ability till the very end of my learning journey!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: A massive thankyou to my instructor Sadia. I passed my driving test today on my first attempt. Sadia is a brilliant instructor, she made me feel very comfortable and she's so patient. She has a great way of explaining everything you need to know during lessons. I highly recommend her!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Jaro was the best instructor. He linked theoretical concepts to practical driving lessons. Very punctual and committed to schedules. He was also very flexible and easy to work with.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Sadia is amazing, I can tell she is very Passionate about her work and learners she plays so much tension to detail. Very helpful instructor and Sadia very Accurate I would 100% recommend her.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I had failed two driving tests last year February and April. I decided to change instructors and I seen that drive buddi had excellent reviews so I booked my lessons with them. John was my driving instructor and he was absolutely amazing. He recognised my weak areas and helped me improve on them. I felt comfortable with him and he was so calm and explained everything in really good detail. And today I passed my driving test! I’m so happy and I definitely recommend John as a driving instructor. Honestly the best instructor ever! Thank you John and drive buddi!
Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I want to thank my driving instructor Sadia for her effort and support which helped me passing my driving test from 1st attempt. I really recommend her for anyone who wants to pass this exam .
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Had Michael as my instructor, progressed me forward with my capability and didn’t waste any money or time with him! Got me test ready very within 16 hours, definitely recommend him. Always felt confident on the road with him, great instructor.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend my instructor Dawood. He has been very patient throughout the journey. He is very through with the curriculum and reiterates as often as needed. He is very good at picking up your week spots and focuses on improving them. His focus is not only on getting his students test ready but also on developing a skill needed for safe and reliable driving.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Best experience as a new driver. My instructor Dawood has been very patient and uplifting during our driving lessons the past few months. Constantly making sure I'm improving and following the curriculum. When my confidence has been low he has been able to bring it back up and I feel well supported. I have passed my test because of how amazing Dawoods teaching style has been highly recommend him.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Great instructor very patient and reliable. Thanks for everything Abdellatif.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I am highly recommend my instructor Sadia, she is so lovely and kind and made me feel really comfortable I enjoyed my lessons with her so much id look forward to them all week She was very patient and helpful especially with the manoeuvres Im really glad I had Sadia as my Instructor
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I give driving Buddi top marks as I contacted them and the same day they referred me to an instructor named Mohamed asef who works for a different company as they hadn’t any space on the day that I needed due to being busy with learners and given such short notice due to me failing my test previously with a different instructor, I only had one lesson which was the very next day after contacting driving Buddi. Then I had my test the day after which I sincerely don’t think I would of passed if I hadn’t of had Mohamed as my instructor due to him being so relaxed calm reassuring, having faith in me telling me I will pass without a doubt and also trusting me with his car after only have two lessons with him. Such a good driving instructor I’ll be referring him to any friends of mine that need an instructor! Couldn’t fault the company or Mohamed the slightest. Top marks for all! Now I’m officially on the road. :)
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Dawood for being so patient and supportive through this process, could not have asked for a better instructor! He made sure I stayed positive throughout and helped me build the confidence to drive. A massive thank you for everything, could not have done this without Dawood :)
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I had Sharmila as my instructor and I can’t express how grateful I am to have had her as my teacher. She listened to my ways of learning and was accommodating, patient, and understanding. She made me feel very comfortable and pushed me to perform at my level best. Sharmila was an excellent teacher. She developed my confidence in driving and highlighted areas for improvement. I passed the first time.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Mo is a great driving instructor! After trying my luck with 2 other instructors previously, I was a bit skeptical at the start with Mo but he was absolutely amazing. He was a lot more patient and chilled out during lessons and it made me not panic and actually learn the manoeuvres better. He also doesn’t patronise you whenever you make mistakes and just creates a comfortable learning environment for new and experienced drivers alike. I was told multiple times by my previous instructors that international drivers like me would have a hard time passing because of the habits that we developed whilst driving. But, I passed the first time with zero faults and I have to thank DriveBuddi for it. A definite recommend!
Thank you Dorothy
Fantastic experience: Drive Buddi for driving lessons was great! The teachers were patient especially MICHAEL, really good at what they do, and knew a lot about driving. They adjusted the lessons to how fast I learned, which helped me feel more sure when driving. I learned everything I needed, and they really cared about safety. I think Drive Buddi is awesome for anyone who wants to learn driving well!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Abdellatif was a great instructor...very patient and calm! I would 100% recommend him, especially for anyone a bit older (like me!) or who is nervous about driving. He helped me pass first time :)
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I had Jaro as my instructor. He was always helpful and professional in his manner. Very friendly and easy going. Didn't make me feel stupid for mistakes I made
Thank you
Negative experience: My decision to take driving lessons with Noor Dahri in the summer of 2022 turned out to be far from what I expected. Initially, things appeared promising, but his true demeanour quickly emerged. While he claimed to accept mistakes as part of the learning process, any error on my part was met with unnecessary condescension. He needlessly prolonged lessons, fixating on minor details and endless repetitions, culminating in an exasperating six-hour session on a single roundabout. Additionally, he repeatedly brought up sensitive topics, such as Palestinian politics, despite my discomfort, which further soured the experience. Fortunately, a friend's recommendation led me to a new instructor who provided a completely different and positive learning environment. In just ten lessons, I gained the skills and confidence to pass my driving test with minimal errors. Find an instructor who best aligns with your needs and respects your time and efforts.
Hi Zunaira, Thank you for your valued review. Congratulations on passing your test, we’re sorry we’ve not been a part of that. Please email us on [email protected] so we can discuss this further. We would like to know why it has taken you over a year to post this as you mentioned it was summer 2022. Additionally, it is extremely unusual to hear negative comments about Noor. All of his previous customers have said nothing but good things about him so your comments have taken us by surprise. We’d appreciate if we could talk to you to get a better understanding so we can use this to improve further.
Fantastic experience: My instructor was Dawood, and I want to express my profound gratitude for his unwavering commitment to his students' success and his consistent reliability. Dawood has a remarkable ability to boost my confidence, and I wholeheartedly endorse his punctuality, regular lesson scheduling, and his dedication to reviewing progress and setting achievable goals. Every session with Dawood concluded with a thorough review and the establishment of clear objectives for the next lesson, ensuring that no time was wasted and that progress remained steady. While driving lessons can sometimes become overly complex, Dawood's teaching experience and driving expertise demonstrated that safe driving and manoeuvres can be simplified and made straightforward. Thank you immensely, Dawood! Your efforts mean the world to me, and I am truly grateful.
Thank you for such a wonderful and detailed review.
Fantastic experience: AbdelLatif is a great instructor. He is very polite , calm and patient. I was quite anxious about driving and he always made sure that I was comfortable and helped me build thé confidence. You can ask all the silly questions from him without hesitation. If i can pass in first go, everyone can just make sure you have AbdelLatif on your team .
Thank you

Thanks once again!!
Thank you Sandy
Fantastic experience: My instructor Sharmila was reliable, calm, supportive, encouraging and really good at instructing. I was apprehensive about learning to drive and she helped increase my confidence massively. Her belief in me played a massive part in me passing my driving test a few days ago!

Thank you
Fantastic experience: I had Harshali as my instructor and I can’t express how grateful I am to have had her as my teacher. She listened to my ways of learning and was so accommodating, patient and understanding. She made me feel very comfortable and pushed me to perform my level best. There were times when I felt like giving up, Harshali pushed me and made sure I remain positive. I would highly recommend harshali as an instructor.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to Drive Buddi and especially to my instructor, Dawood. Learning to drive was quite a challenge for me, but Dawood's exceptional teaching skills, patience, and attention to detail made all the difference. His belief in my progress gave me the confidence I needed to overcome my struggles. Thanks to Dawood, I not only passed my driving test but also gained the confidence to drive independently. I'm truly appreciative of the support I received. If you're looking for a driving school that cares about your success, Drive Buddi is the way to go!
Thank you for your review.
Fantastic experience: I have passed my driving test today and I can’t say how grateful I am to Mo for all his hard work and most importantly his support and patience through this journey, I can say that Mo is an amazing instructor. I had been let down by 3 instructors from other driving schools previously so it was refreshing to have someone professional and always on time working around my work schedule. Thank you.
Thank you Shehleez
