Automatic Driving School Aberdeen (Lady Driving Instructor)

Fantastic experience: I strongly recommend Tehmina as a teacher. I felt everything was explained to me so well in an easy and friendly way. I went on to pass first attempt using the skills and encouragement given to me by Tehmina.

Fantastic experience: I had tried and abandoned learning to drive at 17 because I unknowingly had ADHD, so decided to try again as an adult to learn automatic and give myself the best chance of finally passing. Tehmina was accomodating in doing her best to understand the challenges I might have as a result and making suggestions based on this to help me learn and remember better and give me the best chance on the test, including recommending the best day and time to book a test. She was a good level of strictness for me where she was clear with her feedback and letting me know what I needed to adjust or improve while still being calm and patient. She also didn't over complicate or over explain things to the point it felt like too much info to keep in mind that wasn't even necessary to think about, e.g. she didn't focus on or emphasise things that I wasn't actually even making mistakes in. She does some fairly unique things that I think helps avoid wasted time but more helpfully also means that you can get used to people being in the car with you, so you are comfortable with this before going solo after your test. I also found that the reference points she taught, and the advice on how to fix when your initial attempt to park goes wrong, was great because it made me more confident from even my first attempt at parking that I would know what to do even if I got it wrong, so it wasn't a big built up worry to try to park and get it perfect straight away. If/when I got mixed up or confused about something or the different reference points or lanes to be in or the routes to take at roundabouts etc we would stop somewhere and Tehmina would go over these things properly in a way I could focus on what she was saying, and would do so by drawing helpful diagrams to illustrate her point, so I could remember and study them, which was super helpful considering I easily forget and mix things up. Tehmina was also very, very flexible and accomodating; she basically sacrificed all her weekends and worked very hard to be able to accommodate me on an intensive course in the time off of work that I had, and would adjust lesson days times up to the night before. If she did this, she made sure that any such changes were accounted for in making sure that I got all of the driving minutes I had paid for at the appropriate rates, and if/when I was due any money back she didn't wait for me to enquire, she raised and did this herself, including recommending how I could claim back money for a test cancelled due to weather. She's also just a nice and friendly person, and I believe she can speak multiple languages and works with people from many different cultures without issue.

Fantastic experience: I've been driving for the last 10+ years outside the UK and needed to convert my driving license to a British one within one year after arriving to UK. After failing the first test and being humbled by that, I took a few lessons from Tehmina to understand the specifics of driving in the UK and what examiners are looking for during the exam. These are generally small things but considered big enough to fail the test. Tehmina helped me understand these small bits and pieces, and managed to squeeze in everything I needed to know in a few lessons. If you're still looking for a driving intructor, go to Tehmina; she will take care of you.

Fantastic experience: After struggling to find a test in England I decided to take the plunge and book one in Aberdeen. Tehmina very kindly took me on and over the course of 3 days taught me her methods so that I was test ready. I feel like Tehmina taught me more than just driving, she kept the theory side of driving alive and had positive outlook on everything. She made me feel at ease while learning new roads and most of all she got me to pass! I would highly recommend Tehmina to anyone looking for an instructor! I don’t think I could have done it without her! She was with me every step of the way. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much Tehmina. I passed my practical test today (first time). The class with you on Tuesday was a key part of today’s success..in fact the examiner took me to the same area we were just this Tuesday …So happy I did this just once
