1st-Learn to Drive (Automatic Driving School)

Fantastic experience: Fadil is an incredible instructor! I still can’t believe I passed with just a minor—wow! I had given up on driving a couple of times, but after moving to Kent, I decided to give it another shot. I struggled with driving anxiety, especially roundabouts, but Fadil’s patient and practical teaching approach made all the difference. He was always punctual, never missed a lesson, and maintained a perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness. His calm and supportive manner made learning to drive so much easier. Unlike other instructors who rely on reference points in the car, Fadil took me to different car parks to practice in real road and weather conditions. This was so helpful when I started driving with my husband. He doesn’t just teach you to pass the test—he builds your confidence for real-life driving. I’m so grateful to have had Fadil as my instructor. The skills he taught me go beyond just passing the test—they’re for life and safety, and that is truly invaluable. Thank you, Fadil! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been learning to drive with various instructors from Kinetic and A-Class and they were no help as they would have confusing methods and they would not arrive on time. But when I had lessons with 1st-Learn to Drive (Instructor's name is Fadil) I was able to gain a better understanding on how to drive which took me around 4 months and I was able to pass with just 3 minors. I would recommend that anyone should learn with 1st-Learn to Drive as weather your a beginner or an experienced driver looking for booster lessons you will learn a lot of things from Fadil. Thanks for the help, Fadil

Fantastic experience: I really appreciate all the time and guidance which Fadil gave me an enormous knowledge, practice and confidence in very short time. He is the best. I can now enjoy driving.

Negative experience: Probably will reply to this but just wanted to say, I would not recommend. Has absolutely no patience whatsoever just expects you to know how to do everything first time? Don't make no sense; and was just rude being honest. For the price his lessons are as well, wasn't impressed. For your reply as I cannot reply again. Even know you literally just messaged me all of what you said is wrong and you know It is. I already said I have had 2; one of them being you and I'm wirh my old one now? You just can't take criticism. I already also mentioned while you were texting me a few minutes ago I understood you couldn't drop me off that wasn't even the problem. It was my first lesson with you I explained I haven't drove for about 6 months and hadn't done that many lessons of course I wasn't going to be amazing at it.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Fadil for driving lessons. He helped me to pass first time today. He went above and beyond to get me to where I am today with my driving, making me confident in every aspect (even the scary big roundabouts). I enjoyed every lesson and after a bad experience with my first instructor and almost giving up, Fadil helped me to be confident and pushed me to the finish line with ease. Driving lessons have been so fun and enjoyable, couldn’t wait to get back in the car and do something new. You have helped me achieve something i thought would be impossible! Thank you again!!

Fantastic experience: absolutely amazing driving lessons i looked forward to it every week we would have a laugh so i wouldnt panic i passed first time

Fantastic experience: I passed my test with flying colours!!! I couldn't believe I'd passed my tesr with 0 mistakes and this is all thanks to Fadil. He is the most patient, understanding and professional instructor I've ever met. He is very friendly and good listener as well. He will not only teach you to pass your driving test but to be a good driver. I highly recommend Fadil!!!

Negative experience: Okay driving instructor, just will not let you use car for test unless he is 200% sure you will pass because he doesn’t want a low pass rate so if your looking too sit your test I’d go with another school personally too save yourself time and money. Other than that he’s not a bad instructor
