Absolute driving school: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Abs enough!! I recommend him to everyone looking to start driving. I couldn’t have done it without him. Passed first time with 0 faults!!!! :))
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend.. Abs is an amazing person and driving instructor, who’s calm, patient and kind. I was so nervous to drive but Abs helped me to overcome that with great learning techniques and words of encouragement, which helped me gain the confidence I needed. We had laughter in everyone lesson and he’s so easy to get on with. I passed 1st time with absolute driving school and feel ever so grateful to of had him as my instructor. Thanks for believing in me and all your hard work and support, you’re the best
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t be more grateful for a driving instructor! I was also so anxious and doubted my ability to drive, and Abs was always there to make sure i believed in myself and showed everyone what i was capable of doing! Could’ve never completed it without Abs! Thankyou for all of your time, hard work and support - but mostly importantly for always having faith and me and doing everything within your power to get me to the finishing line :)
Thank-you for your kind words
Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time with zero minors all thanks to Abs, one of the best instructors I could’ve had, his way of teaching really helped me a lot, not only to pass my test, but to be safe and confident on the roads. Thank you for everything Abdel
Thank you so much for your kind words
Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time today, with only 1 driver fault after having lessons with abs. Abs was so easy to get on with from the start, laid back and very understanding and went out of his way to make sure he could accommodate me with my work hours, I wanted to feel comfortable and confident getting back into driving, abs made me feel comfortable after the first session and eventually got confident enough to push for my test, I would highly recommend abs to anyone as he is patient and a great teacher, also great guy to get along with!
Thank you for your kind words
Fantastic experience: I just passed my test on the 13/12/24 I started my journey with Abs back in august 2023 when I’d first found out I was pregnant with my little boy, I eventually had to take a break from learning because I was getting too big to fit behind the wheel but I resumed lessons again in July this year and Abs got me back in as soon as he could. He has been an amazing instructor and has shown me incredible amounts of patience and kindness and he’s lovely to chat to and tends to give pretty good advice when you need it :) he made learning extremely relaxed and as stress free as possible. I started out as an incredibly nervous driver but I went on to pass 1st time with just 4 minor faults thanks to him. I’ll even miss the lessons and the chats that we would have during them
Thank you for your kind words
Fantastic experience: What can I say, so another driving school was teaching my son (TSM), who basically was money grabbing and more… BUT ABSOLUTE DRIVING SCHOOL STEPPED IN AFTER I REACHED OUT, TOOK MY BOY ON AND PASSED HIS TEST WITH ONLY 2 MINORS, AFTER FAILING WITH THE PREVIOUS INSTRUCTOR. Abdel is such an honest, caring guy/teacher always happy to help and get his students where they need to be, which is great for there confidence and mind set as they have been taught correctly, Thank you for all your help Abdel
Thank you for your kind words
Fantastic experience: Abs is such an amazing instructor, he is calm patient and understanding, brilliant with anixous and nervous drivers. He helped me pass my driving test 1st time with no faults. I can't explain how greatful I am. Thank you so much. Ava
Thank you for your kind words
Fantastic experience: Abs is the best! Better than all the rest! After previous experience on the road and life taking a toll, it took years to even think about approaching another driving instructor to help me gain confidence and reach my goal of getting on the road again. I’ve recently started lessons with Abdel and he’s truly gone above and beyond to ensure I’m comfortable, safe and confident whilst driving. He has the patience of a saint and is truly remarkable in what he does day in and day out helping so many to achieve what they want to achieve. I’m so grateful I found Absolute Driving School and truly believe that Abdel will get me that pass I could only dream of. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for me already! Truly blessed you’re my driving instructor

Thank you for the 5⭐️ review and kind words it's very much appreciated
Fantastic experience: I just need to mention Tigers driving instructor Abdel Elaabdi from Absolute driving school! Abs has rightly earned the title of the GOAT ( Greatest Of All Time!) He is EXCELLENT . So patient, calm and an all round great guy! He is so supportive, even sending a wonderful message to Tiger last night to help calm his nerves and give him confidence! I had heard of Abs reputation when looking for an instructor for Tiger, and knew this is who we wanted. So much so, we were prepared to wait months to have him! I should have been more organised and contacted him well in advance, but I didn’t! ( a lesson there folks if you’ve got a soon to be 17 year old!) When you’re this good, you are consequently in high demand! But well worth the wait! Tiger will miss his lessons and chats with Abs. And from Paul and I, a huge THANK YOU!! ❤️❤️

Abs has always worked calmly and efficiently to get me where I need to be in order to pass my test first time. I am so thankful. The greatest of all time and such a lovely person inside and out ⭐️
Thank you for the lovely review much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Just passed first time with Abdel! I see him more as a driving guardian than a driving instructor. I have had awful experiences with previous instructors and Abdel has been a saviour. He is so so patient and truly pushed me to my best. I have always felt so content and at ease in our lessons, I really looked forward to them. If you want to pass first time, Abdel is the man to go to!

Fantastic experience: Reviewing on behalf of my son who has just passed 1st time. Abdul, a fantastic teacher and a true gentleman. He taught and got my son through his test 1st time with only 1 driver error. Steer clear of these intensive people, good and honest one to one driving instructors are the way forward. Thanks Abdul, I owe you one
Thank you for the 5* review much appreciated
Fantastic experience: After having a bad experience with another driving instructor, I was able to pass my test with Abdel! As an initially nervous driver, I found patient approach created an environment where I felt able to learn manoeuvres. He is so friendly and kind, also he’s able to adapt his teaching style to your individual way of learning. I am now a safe and confident driver. Highly recommend Abdel, especially if you’re a nervous learner like I was ☺️

Fantastic experience: I couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor! Abs is kind, patient, thorough and professional. He tailors your classes to your wants and needs on the day and ensures you finish feeling really confident with what you've been learning. I suffer from severe anxiety and never imagined getting behind the wheel of a car, and much less change gears! I wanted to learn in an automatic, but Abs took the time to talk through my anxieties around gears, and with a little encouragement, away we went. I couldn't be more grateful for the time and effort Abs offered me. Thank you ever so much, Abs! I will always appreciate your support in getting me on the road... and, of course, through my test FIRST TIME! Eek! :-D

Fantastic experience: Abs is the best driving instructor there is out there. From day 1 he explained everything to my understanding and nothing was ever rushed. He is the most calmest instructor and would never get angry for any mistakes made like other instructors. I passed first time in under 10 weeks from when I first started which proves that he really is an amazing instructor. Not to mention such a friendly person who I always wave to on the roads when I see his car. Abs is not only just a driving instructor, but a friend for life and I couldn't thank him enough for his work.

Thank you for your 5* review and kind words it means alot
Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend Abs more highly. 10/10. Yes I passed my driving test after lessons with him but I think most of all he taught me how to drive safely and how to drive properly. In one of my first lessons he said he doesn't teach his students how to pass the test he teaches them how to drive safely and properly and this couldn't be more true. Never did Abs make me feel nervous and he stayed entirely calm if I ever did make a mistake. I'm confident on the road, confident at parking and take the appropriate precautions where necessary. If you're interested in becoming a good driver Abs is the man for you.
