No other instructor could help, Farid is the only one who did. He squeezed me in for some lessons and helped me with things I was struggling with. He has an amazing teaching technique and you feel so comfortable during the lesson. I can’t thank you enough Farid!! I was struggling to pass but as soon as you took me on I finally passed on the 3rd attempt:) He is amazing and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone and everyone. You can never regret it. The best instructor I have ever come across! He truly cares for all his students and he is extremely knowledgable. Thank you again Farid!

Kal provided helpful tips that made maneuvers like parallel parking and reverse parking much easier. They also taught me how to stay calm and focused in different driving conditions, which was invaluable for my test. Thanks to Kal, I passed my driving test on the first attempt! I couldn’t have done it without her support and guidance. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and friendly instructor, I highly recommend Kalpana.

I would recommend him to any learner driver!

Fantastic experience: Passed today in Erith thanks to my instructor Saleh! I passed with two minors. He is the best instructor ever, calm and reassuring. He made sure I noticed and went over my mistakes and kept trying until I got it right. He had more confidence on me than I did. I can say now I not only have a good instructor but also a friend, he has supported me in every process, on my meltdowns, when I thought driving was not for me anymore, when I was sad, when I was down he made sure to uplift me and encourage me to keep going. Now I am so happy to have my pass certificate. If you need your license definitely have Saleh as your driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: If I could rate it higher than 5*, I would. Having Rachel as my driving instructor is the only reason I passed first time.
