Every lesson was uniquely tailored to my needs, with clear, concise explanations that broke down even the most challenging maneuvers into manageable steps. His unwavering patience and supportive manner quickly put my nerves at ease, turning potential obstacles into opportunities for growth. I especially appreciated how he continuously encouraged me, celebrating small victories that built into major accomplishments on the road. I can confidently say that this experience has not only prepared me to drive but also to do so with assurance and respect for the complexities of real-world driving. I highly recommend Mr. Ahsan to anyone who wants to learn in an environment where expertise meets genuine care. His commitment to safe and confident driving has made all the difference in my journey.

We always have a debrief at the end of the lesson, recap learning points, and highlight areas to improve on. He's flexible with timing and easily contactable. The sessions in the car are enjoyable and help with the nerves. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Ahsan!

Fantastic experience: Hamza is an amazing instructor. He tailors the lessons based on the experience you have and works on weaknesses that impact your driving. Very thorough instructor when it comes to planning lessons. His methods are not always by the book and this is great since its more genuine and not regurgitated information provided by the DVSA.

Fantastic experience: 3 weeks before my test absolutely amazing instructor ! Very polite helpful and most highly recommended. Have a great laugh whilst learning to drive and very effective teaching I passed within under 3 weeks .

Fantastic experience: Really amazing instructor, enjoyed my lessons cannot thank him enough I would highly recommend you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Used to get so anxious when I was learning with previous instructors but this tutor has really encouraged my confidence and helped me overcome my fears behind the wheel. Would highly recommend especially if you’re a beginner!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend. Really great instructor!

Fantastic experience: Helped calm my anxiety down during lessons by keeping them entertaining. Must admit, I was a very difficult student but I passed 1st time, which goes to show how good an instructor Hamza is. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Hamza is an exemplary driving instructor! He understands that not all students learn the same way and considers your strengths and weaknesses when planning lessons and mapping out your driving journey. If a method doesn't work for you, he'll alter it in a way that does, all whilst being patient whilst you're learning.

Fantastic experience: Great instructor, explains every topic in detail passed my test first time round!

Fantastic experience: An exceptional instructor who not only uses effective teaching skills but also makes the lessons very enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: Mr Mohamad is a great instructor, made all the lesson fun and I love the way he explains everything calmly. His the reason why I build my confidence. At the start I though I could not have done it or passed it but his support and the way he explained everything i passed it with 2 minors.

Fantastic experience: Was recommended by a family member.Mr Muhammad is very professional instructor,Always on time and has excellent teaching skills.Would definitely recommend as a teacher if you want to pass first time.Not like any other driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: I was recommended Mr Mohammed by a family member who passed also first time, I took my lessons and he made me feel really comfortable and confident behind the wheel, he taught me everything and helped me 100% in every single lesson, I took my test and passed first time with 1 minor , thank you so much for helping me get my license & carry on the good work Mr Mohammed.

Fantastic experience: Mr Mohammed is an amazing instructor! I’d go through many other instructors before a friend recommended him to me. And the difference I felt when driving with him was incredible, he made it fun, helped me to relax and enjoy the experience rather than dreading it like I had done previously. I struggled a lot with anxiety but he had unique teaching technique which he incorporated into my lessons, which completely increased my confidence level. I passed with five minors thanks to his excellent guidance! Great great instructor! I would highly recommend him because he is one of a kind with a rare and unique teaching technique. Thank you Mr Mohammed you are the best driving instructor (doctor) I appreciate you.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience and very helpful instructor. Must recommend for lesson.

Fantastic experience: Best driving instructor, he has amazing way of teaching driving skills and extremely patient and professional.

Negative experience: I take 2 lessons from him. He don't respect time

Fantastic experience: I was an international driver with automatic gear. Mr. Mohamad was great in explaining and coaching all the important details and tips in driving at UK roads. First class he assessed my driving skills and accordingly come up with learning plan. The overall experience was very professional and satisfying. I passed the practical test in the first attempt itself. Credit goes to Mohamad. The way he teaches all the maneuvers (reverse parking, left reverse, bay parking) is excellent. I would highly recommend Mohamad for anyone who is looking for driving instructor near Manchester area.

Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time round, excellent teacher!

Fantastic experience: Mr Mohammed is a great driving instructor. I start driving lesson with him after failed my first exam, and past my driving exam after only two weeks' practice!! Also noted that I passed in the most difficult test centre in failsworth. His teaching technique is excellent, and explains all the tips into detail. He is nice and patient to pupils. I would definitely recommend learn driving with him!

Fantastic experience: Learning driving with Mr Mohammed was absolutely fantastic. Really a relaxing, un-stressful, professional and most importantly happy way to learn how to drive. Driving is an essential technique which will affect not just you, the driver, but also other people on the road, meaning that we, learners, need skills but more crucially, confidence. Not just the skills but also the confidence doubled my thankfulness. I remembered the first lesson I took with him, I was repeatedly saying like I am gonna crush your car, please don't be mad if I crush your car :) Yet, I passed with 3 minors for the first time. A good, patient, treating-student-well driving instructor will make your learning much easier and happier (well after all, it is the joy that matters most right). Just call this number and take a lesson with him, won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: I liked the way Mohammed teach. He checked my driving skills in the first lesson and set up a teaching plan for me. Everything he taught me was break into little pieces hence I could learn little by little. And his notes were very useful, too. Also he is very friendly and driving with him is so easy and un-stressful. I passed in my first exam, never expected so. Strongly recommended for everyone who want to learn driving!

Fantastic experience: My experience at first gear school of motoring was great. i thoroughly enjoyed my time when learning to drive and Mr Mohammed Ahsan was fantastic teacher that gave me the confidence to drive without and stress or due to any under pressure situations. i can say it is one of the best motoring of school and i enjoyed every lessons and rate it 10/10 and advise people who are looking to learn to drive to take first motoring as their first choice and they will fulfil there wish to be a successful driver with joy and happiness :) :) :) Mansoona Naeem
