Fantastic experience: Shabs is a top class instructor who helped me pass first time with zero minors! He was friendly, professional, and gave excellent constructive criticism. He identified the areas that I needed most help with and broke them down into separate lessons. We started by driving locally and eventually built up to driving around the Hendon test route. While we were driving he would point out mistakes and explain how they could be avoided next time (eg. checking blind spots, checking both mirrors before signalling, etc.). Before the test he gave me tips on how to stay calm and focussed and we ran through every possible question and route. Overall, Shabs is perfect for someone who wants to learn quickly and accurately. I will be recommending him to all of my friends!

Fantastic experience: Shabbir was a life saver for me. I am an American who recently moved to the UK and needed a UK license. I had 15 years' driving experience, but on the other side of the road following American rules. I called Shabbir two weeks before my UK driving test and he made time to help me prepare for the driving test with two lessons despite being extremely busy due to the Covid-related backlog for driving lessons. He was extremely professional and showed me everything I needed to know to pass the UK driving test on my first try. For our mock tests, he took me to two test centres (including the one where I would have my test) and we drove on the same courses that are used by the test examiners for the actual tests. He really knows his stuff.

Fantastic experience: Honest and reliable instructor

Fantastic experience: Very good instructor, would recommend for a very friendly service and first time pass, no matter what stage.

Fantastic experience: Shabir was amazing helped me pass my test with little minors!

Fantastic experience: Shabs is an amazing driving instructor. He supported me patiently from being an absolute beginner to feeling confident on the roads. I would recommend taking lessons from him to anyone regardless of previous experience. Great learning experience overall!

Fantastic experience: Shabbir was my instructor for an extended period of time as I started my driving lessons a few months before the first national lockdown. His flexible schedule allowed for me to book many lessons as soon as the government had allowed them to resume. With Shabbir’s thorough guidance I was able to pass my test first time.
