Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Mike and Laura enough for their continued support and passion while teaching me to drive. Today I passed with a single minor, Mike has been so wonderful through the entire process and so accommodating to me during the whole process. You will see so many reviews mention uncle Mike, and that is because he well and truly makes you feel like family while learning to drive. Having a previous bad expierence with another motoring school Mike was so kind, so patient and so welcoming me to the Omari driving school family he is as wise as he is kind you will not fail when you trust mike to be your instructor. Laura has equally been fantastic always organised and patient when finding lessons that suit a busy schedule she has been so wonderful during the months I have been with Omari. If I could give 10 stars I would, when joining Omari you are not another number in a large driving school who do not care as long as you buy a package you are joining a family I would recommend Omari driving school to any learner regardless of expierence and ability as Mike will make you strong and ready for the test!

Negative experience: didn't see their response from 5 months ago until last night due to technical issue on my end. however, avoid this company because mike is rude, aggressive and i believe misogynistic seeing as there's other women here leaving same reviews. zero empathy and angry when I told him i have dyspraxia. they tried saying i should have more knowledge since i had 8 lessons two months prior elsewhere but i told him im dyspraxic which affects this and he just looked annoyed. oh he had a go at me for yawning despite knowing i was working late night before. they wanted me to delete my review on trustpilot but im going to leave another. they said i didnt communicate my feelings directly and wrote that review instead, when i literally texted laura after the lesson telling her i was not carrying on due to mikes attitude. i have proof of this. he said he 'didn't have the space' for me anyway which i thought was unprofessional and just didnt want to deal with a dyspraxic student. avoid at all costs

Hi Alicia YOU HAD WITH US ONLY ONE LESSON FIVE MONTHS AGO. AND YOU HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED YOUR REVIEW AT THAT TIME , FIVE MONTHS AGO. WE ANSEWERED YOUR REVIEW AS WELL. HOWEVER, THE BELOW IS OUR PREVIOUS REPLY. WHICH WAS FIVE MONTHS AGO. We have went through the recorded back up of the lesson and we confirm the following: 1- You informed the school that you have trained few years ago. 2- You informed the school and the instructor direct that you trained again two months ago and you have taken EIGHT LESSONS with a different instructor/ different school. 3- You informed the instructor clearly that you had a problem(!!!!) with the previous instructor so you decided to stop your training with him. 4- The instructor asked you at the beginning of the lesson just to show him the brake pedal and you couldn’t recognize which one it was although you have taken eight lessons in the last two months. 5- The instructor commented that you have been trained eight lessons during the last two months ago. 6- You explained that you had health issues(……) that’s why you couldn’t recognize the brake pedal although with eight lessons in the last 2 months. 7- You were very tired , very exhausted and sleepy. 8- You explained to the instructor that you had a night shift and that affects your ability on that day. 9- Due to all of the above , the instructor commented as why you haven’t informed us before the lesson. where we would have been able to reschedule it for you for your own benefit. 10- Though of all the circumstances mentioned above, the instructor had done his best to give you a quality first lesson and at the same time keeping everyone safe. 11- At the end of your first lesson and due to all of the above, Mike has informed you clearly and due to many reasons explained on the day that he will not be able to continue with your training. 12- During the whole lesson , you commented frequently that you have just learnt a new thing(you say exactly NO BODY TOLD ME THIS BEFORE) and none of the previous instructors did so. 13- Instead of appreciating the instructor effort during the lesson with all the circumstances mentioned above, you have wrote this review. 14- From what you have written in the review, the words that you have used, and the way you reflected on your experience only proves that Mike was wise and professional when at the end of the first lesson he informed you that he decided not to continue with your training. thank you, OMARI AUTOMATIC DRIVING SCHOOL

Fantastic experience: Mike and Laura were just amazing! After a not so positive experience with a previous driving instructor Mike gave me the confidence I needed and I ended up passing first time! Never had any issues and any information or help I needed was always given. Would recommend to anyone looking for a driving instructor!

Andrew Isoko 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: After a bad experience with the previous instructor, Mike gave me the right guide and confidence to overcome my driving difficulties and overall fear on the road. They are very professional, experienced and caring about your progress. Those little tips Mike gave me before the driving test revealed to be crucial for my success in the first attempt. I can never be grateful enough, it’s been a life changing journey. Thanks,

erin horsefield 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Omari Driving School highly enough! From the very first lesson, their professionalism and expertise were evident. The instructor is incredibly patient, supportive, and knowledgeable, making the entire learning experience enjoyable and stress-free. His tailored approach helped me build my confidence and improve my driving skills at my own pace. The clear and concise instructions, along with valuable tips and feedback, were instrumental in helping me pass my driving test on the first attempt. I truly believe Omari driving school genuinely cares about your success and safety on the road and the flexible scheduling accommodated my busy life, and practicing in their modern, reliable vehicles enhanced the learning experience. Their emphasis on safe driving practices, not just passing the test, has left me feeling confident and responsible behind the wheel.

yahya barakat 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Passed first time today after learning with Mike! He was incredibly supportive and made every lesson enjoyable and easy to understand. His guidance gave me the confidence I needed on the road. Laura, the coordinator, was also wonderful—always approachable, helpful, and made scheduling everything hassle-free. I highly recommend this driving school to anyone looking to get their license!

Hashim Al-omari 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Mike enough as a driving instructor! He was incredibly patient, supportive, and made every lesson enjoyable. His clear instructions and calm approach really boosted my confidence on the road. Thanks to his excellent teaching, I passed my driving test first time with zero minors! If you’re looking for an instructor who genuinely cares about your success, Mike is the one to go for.

Antonio Tomov 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have just passed my practical with 4 minors from the very first go and I can’t thank Mike enough for the work during the past 4-5 months. The instructor is amazing, quite chill but knowledgeable and explains things in detail while giving you the chance to practice those things on the road straight away. The prices charged for the lessons are good compared to other driving schools and the booking process is very straight forward with Laura, who manages it and can accommodate for individual needs like weekends/not so early hours in the morning etc. I don’t normally give 5 stars reviews but if I could give Omari driving school a higher than 5, I would for sure not only for the great service but also because they actually want you to pass the exam instead of being solely interested in you spending money for lessons with them.

Sadie Maude 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had two different instructors prior to learning with Mike at Omari and none of them made me feel as calm and supported as I did with Mike. He was patient and has a great sense of humour, which made me really enjoy my lessons and I ended up passing my test first time. Laura's organisation is amazing, and the process wouldn't have been so smooth if it wasn't for her as well!

Hio Cheng Vong (Dakota) 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test today, and I couldn't have done it without Mike! He has been incredibly punctual, always on time for every lesson and never cancel, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Laura has also been fantastic—always supportive and quick to rearrange lessons when needed. Highly recommend!

Dmytro Chekunov 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely marvelous experience, can't recommend enough! Laura and Mike are both super helpful and accommodating, the lessons fly by and are a delight! We went through all the routes and maneuvers needed, all the mistakes I was making were explained in a proper, comprehensive and calm manner, and I was able to practice (not making them) over and over and iron them out. I was well prepared for anything the exam could throw at me and passed on the first try, on one of the hardest routes as well! An amazing experience!

Megan Farr 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend learning with Omari driving school! I had the best experience, Mike is an amazing instructor, he makes you feel calm and is really dedicated to helping you drive and pass your test! Laura was great at organising your lessons and was so helpful with anything you needed. Thanks so much Mike and Laura!

Yasmin Moghimi 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Mike is the most fantastic driving instructor I have had. After my previous instructor, who killed my confidence in driving, Mike quickly built this back up. He rooted for me from the very start and because of his patience and dedication during my driving lessons I finally passed today! I also want to add how accommodating Omari driving school is with planning lessons to fit with your schedule. Always professional and effective communication and try their best to work with you.

Rebecca Cafferty 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had lessons with Mike after previously failing my test years before. I’m quite an anxious driver and Mike made me feel at ease and was very patient with me. The service from Omari had been brilliant, they tell you exactly what you need and won’t try and fleece any unnecessary lessons out of you. Laura in the office is lovely too, so supportive. Passed first time with Mike. Highly recommend.

sian mclintock 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time with Mike and Omari. He was an amazing instructor, he made me feel calm and safe whilst driving. Very professional and knowledge about driving and the test routes and a great teacher. Mike gives clear and easy to understand feedback which makes improving easy and achievable! Very reasonably priced as well especially for the quality. I would definitely recommend Omari and Mike (instructor)!

Ryan Redfern 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Mike is an excellent teacher. I passed first time with 3 minors. He is good at explaining things, telling me where I have gone wrong and he was very accommodating and considerate. He was always punctual and overall a very nice and friendly individual. I wish him all the best. You won’t regret picking this driving school.

Jamie Leach 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Omari driving school enough. If you're looking for automatic lessons then look no further!

Thanks Mike and Laura

Fantastic experience: Passed first time today after learning with Mike!! He was my first ever instructor and I was so nervous but from the first moment in the car he made me feel so comfortable and confident in my driving, he’s so patient and makes learning so enjoyable, it’s like just going for a drive with your friend! The way he plans out his lessons and the order in which he adds bits into your lessons is just flawless, honestly couldn’t recommend enough! And his assistant Laura was so amazing in fitting my lessons around my work and my children and making sure I was happy with everything, they are a great team and I’m so so happy I chose them for my learning to drive journey! Thank you so much Mike and Laura you guys change my life :) !!!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Mike for anyone learning to drive. Their patient and thorough teaching style made the process enjoyable and boosted my confidence. They provided clear instructions and valuable tips, ensuring I was well-prepared for the driving test. Passing my driving test first time was a momentous achievement, and I owe it all to my amazing instructor. Their unwavering support and encouragement transformed the nerve-wracking experience into a journey of self-confidence. They tailored lessons to my specific needs, addressing any concerns or areas where I needed improvement. Their calm demeanour helped ease nerves, especially on the day of the test. I'm grateful for the positive impact they've had on my journey to becoming a confident and safe driver.

Fantastic experience: The instructor is very patient on teaching every aspect which will be covered in the driving test. Had been struggling on manual in the past but everything become so much easier with clear instructions besides an automatic car. Definitely worth recommending!

Kory Stout 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Mike was the best instructor I could have wished for. He is a natural born teacher and he excels when it comes to teaching you to drive. From lesson one, I felt reassured and confident that I had chosen the right instructor. Mike was positive and encouraging but also challenged me in areas of improvement. His knowledge of test routes, how examiners think and how best to prepare for exams, is exceptional. What is more important though is that he teaches you the skills you need to be an assured driver for life. I now feel extremely comfortable driving and I owe that to him. I now view him more than just an instructor; I see him as a friend and a wise uncle. A special note to mention how organised and efficient the administration team is for the school. Laura was very patient and informative about appointments and lessons. I always knew when my lessons were and how to prepare. They make a great team. I was able to pass my test first time and I would thoroughly recommend the school to anyone.

Beth Bee 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had the absolute pleasure of passing my test with Omari Driving School today. From the moment I contacted Laura I knew Omari was the best around. Laura is kind, considerate and tremendously organised. Laura is always prompt to reply when I need to ask something and will always send reminders for any lessons I have. She was so kind to me when my test was cancelled by the DVSA last minute and helped me to amend my slot with my instructor immediately. Uncle Mike is a patient, professional and amazingly skilled driving instructor. Uncle Mike is always on time and greets you with a big smile which always puts me at ease. Uncle Mike is always constructive and supportive in his lessons / feedback and I’ve always ended each lesson feeling better about my driving skills. Thank you so much Laura and Uncle Mike for taking me on as a student I feel incredibly lucky to have had the best in the business by my side. Lots of love Beth x

Monica Mateias 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: OMARI driving school was recommended by a friend so I didn’t read any reviews before starting my lessons. I came across them now and I’m happy to see that they reflect my own experience with Mike and Laura. Laura was very helpful from the start, managing to fit the lessons around my schedule. She is always there to promptly answer any questions, is supportive and overall lovely to chat to. Mike is a truly outstanding instructor with endless patience and a tactful approach to teaching. Mike skilfully used his extensive knowledge and experience to build my confidence and ensure that each lesson was meaningful. Beyond his technical expertise, Mike is a true gentleman with an extraordinary work ethic, utmost respect for students and a genuine interest in helping them become confident drivers. I will be forever grateful to Mike and Laura for helping me pass my driving test on the first try, and for making my learning journey such a brilliant experience.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional Driving School with an Outstanding Instructor! I recently had the privilege of learning to drive with Mike at Omari driving school, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, my experience with this driving school has been nothing short of exceptional. First and foremost, Mike is an absolute gem of an instructor. His expertise, patience, and dedication to teaching made all the difference in my journey as a learner driver. Right from the very first lesson, it was evident that his main goal was to ensure my success and safety on the road. He tailored the lessons to my individual needs, providing clear instructions and guidance every step of the way. Mike has an incredible ability to explain complex driving concepts in a simple and understandable manner. He broke down even the most challenging maneuvers and techniques, making them easy to grasp and execute. His calm and composed demeanor during the lessons helped me build confidence behind the wheel, especially during nerve-wracking moments. One aspect that truly sets Omari Driving School apart is the friendly and welcoming atmosphere they create. The entire team at the driving school is professional, approachable, and genuinely cares about their students' progress. The office staff (Laura) was always helpful and accommodating, scheduling lessons to fit my availability seamlessly. Thanks to the comprehensive training provided by Mike, I successfully passed my driving test first try with confidence. I can honestly say that his instruction went beyond just passing the test; he instilled in me a solid foundation of safe and responsible driving habits that I will carry with me for life.

Aliaksandra Tayanka 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: It was the best learning experience I have ever had. I was a bit scared to start learning how to drive, however Mike was so gentle and patient through the way, it made me love every single lesson. He is an amazing professional, who was introducing me to new manoeuvres very gradually to make it less stressful and scary for me. He has an amazing approach to people and doesn’t treat his students just as students, but you actually feel as a part of the family. With his amazing professional knowledge and excellent teaching skills, I have managed to pass the driving test from the first time! I was so lucky to have such an amazing teacher!

Arslan Hussain 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: cannot thank Mike enough as he has helped me tremendously with improving my driving skills and with Mike’s expert help I was able to pass my drivers test. Mike as an instructor was amazing as he was able to explain and show me the skills required for driving safely in calm and motivating manner. Mike could explain what I was doing well and what I needed to improve in a way that would inspire confidence while always being patient with me. Thank you to Laura aswell as she was always quick to respond to an enquiries I had and was always available to help me when I required any changes in lessons I would 100% recommend anyone thinking of taking driving lessons to go with Omari Automatic Driving School as they are the best.

Jordan Robinson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Mike and I couldn't be happier with the experience. I passed first time, and from the very first lesson, I knew I was in good hands. Mike was patient, knowledgeable, and always made me feel comfortable and safe while driving. I'd had a previous instructor and was really struggling to make progress, but Mike was more than capable of teaching me to a very high standard and completely conquered the nerves I'd had previously. Mike's feedback was always constructive and never felt critical, and he was always happy to practice anything I was struggling with or wanted to go over again. His knowledge of the area, skills as an instructor and above all, integrity, are second to none. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who would like to learn to drive, and I'm immensely thankful to both him and Laura.

Fantastic experience: Best driving school I can’t thank and recommend Mike enough. He will understand the driving issues of the pupil very well and address them effectively. He is very calm and patient and put you at ease and boost your confidence I have used various independent local instructors in the past including other driving schools, attempted twice but failed. I lost confidence and stopped taking any further lessons for 3yrs as I'm a bit old thinking i can't succeed in this test. In March I started searching for the driving instructors again as I thought to give one more chance , got Omari driving school in google search , just noted so many positive reviews, which motivated me to enroll with this driving school , then rest is the history !!!!!!. I passed my test this morning. Mike and Laura are very professional and dedicated to teaching high standard driving skills one must have not only to just pass the test. I am very grateful for the good reviews of the other pupils , which helped me to enroll with this school and these reviews reflected in my result. Thanks again Mike and Laura Shiva

Suzanne Henshaw 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Passed first time! I can’t recommend Omari driving school highly enough. I began my lessons reluctantly due to nerves, but from day one I was filled with confidence. Mike not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but he has an incredible gift when it comes to reading his pupils and making them feel at ease. I went from dreading learning to drive, to looking forward to my lessons each week. Spending two hours with Uncle Mike is good for the soul! I am extremely grateful for Mike’s patience and belief in my ability, and for giving me the gift of driving. Also, a huge thank you to Laura who has been incredible and supportive throughout, they are a wonderful team.

Many thanks to Laura too for her amazing and well-organized admin services! For anyone who is looking for a driving instructor, Omari is your BEST choice!

Fantastic experience: I was taking lessons with Mike for several months and I passed my test from the first attempt. Before Mike I had a horrible instructor that was aggressive to me at times and made me a bit scared of driving. However with Mike I felt very calm and eventually quite confident in my driving skills. I really recommended uncle Mike to everyone!!

Dear Samer, According to our records: • You have never been our pupil. • we believe that you are the husband of one of our pupils a year and a half ago. • Your wife also wrote a review. • We replied to her as follows Dear Ghada • It was hard to find your name as according to our records, you were a pupil in our school in October, 2021 that’s one year and a half ago. • We would have appreciated if you have discussed the issues you raised one year and a half ago in your last lesson with the instructor in person or with us when we have texted you that the instructor decided not to continue in your training. • Your husband was present with you on your last lesson with and the instructor explained thoroughly the situation and none of the issues raised in your review was discussed by either you or your husband with the instructor at all. • We will state again why the instructor decided not to continue with your training: - Your test was in March 2022 . - The period left was not enough to be able to prepare you to the test and drive safely and confidently on your own. - Your previous test was in march , 2022 and you passed in march , 2023 that’s a whole year , which meets the instructor expectations. Your husband also posted a review today in addition to yours so we will reply to his review same we did to yours. However , congratulations for passing your test.

Negative experience: I've signed up for 30 driving classes with *Mr...* on my 10th class, I made a couple of mistakes and his reaction was shocking he started yelling at me and telling me that Im useless, I'm such a failure it's been 10 sessions and I'm making mistakes and that all of his students always succeed from the first trial and that there is no way I will succeed and that he doesnt want to continue teaching me because he is sure I will fail my exam. He was rude, inconsoderate and unprofessional, I was shocked and traumatised for days. How can a teacher or an instructor say such horrific things to a student who is on the path of learning! He also said the same things to my husband about me and that he'll stop giving me lessons because I'm a hopeless case. Well guess what *Mr....* I've found a very kind considerate and understanding instructor who helped me to learn at ease and I want you to know that I have succeeded and passed my driving license exam *with no minor*... I for sure do not recommend his services if I have listened to him and gave up I wouldnt have had my license! He made it sound like an impossible mission for me , but I made it and did not allow his words to stop me from succeeding.

Fantastic experience: Firstly, I really want to thank Mike and Laura for the incredible driving experience. This week I've passed my driving test first time, even after my test date being rescheduled and not being able to drive for over a month! Mike has made me feel very comfortable and safe during my lessons and I was looking forward to every single lesson. Laura was also amazing as she answered to every query very quickly and with them my lessons were always secure. They both made me feel very confident about my driving and each lesson was a joy as I was even joking and laughing during my lessons. To anyone who's looking for an automatic driving school, I 100% recommend Omari driving school!!

Lee Daniels 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Omari enough. Thanks to Mike and Laura I have successfully passed my driving test first time! Mike is an incredibly kind, warm and patient instructor. He perfectly balances his expertise with great empathy so you never feel intimidated. He knows when to push, when to provide extra support, and when a more withdrawn approach is needed. I never thought I would be able to pass my test first time but thanks to him, that goal has become reality. I consider him a good friend and hope to keep in touch in the future. A special note to Laura as well who has been as equally kind. She is an upmost professional and is always there for any query. Her organisation skills are second to none. They make a great team and I can't thank them enough.

Fantastic experience: Could not recommend Omari driving school enough!!! I passed first time today and I couldn’t have done it without Mike and Laura. Mike is professional, kind and supportive and helps you build up your confidence; he would happily go over anything I wasn’t confident in and would let me repeat multiple times until I was comfortable doing it. Laura is so lovely and organised, always sent reminders on time and would let me know of any changes. If I was ever stressed at any point, Mike always cheered me up with his great sense of humour and I will honestly miss our lessons a lot. I cannot thank them enough for all their help throughout this journey. I will be forever grateful. 100% the best driving school.

Fantastic experience: I was very lucky to be instructed by the Omari Automatic Driving school and pass my test from the first time in West Didsbury. The information Mike provides during lessons is immensely valuable. He is friendly and funny, and always ensures that you receive as much information and practice as possible and benefit from every minute of your lesson’s timescale. I am obliged to thank Laura for the great service she provides by managing time and keeping students up to date with every lesson’s time and details. I just can’t thank them enough.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Omari Automatic Driving School. Mike is the greatest instructor in Manchester: friendly, funny and very good at teaching you everything you need to pass your test. I had never driven before I started taking lessons with him, and I passed my test first time. Laura keeps you updated and provides you with reminders and any information you need.

Negative experience: Just finished my first driving lesson with mike. As much is enjoyed the lesson. Im kinda gutted he wont be taking me on for more lessons because I hadn’t passed my theory test yet (booked for march) or got my practical test booked, even though i think they should tell pupils this before they get them to sign up with them for a £60 lesson.

Omari Automatic Driving School
Omari Automatic Driving School

Dear Natalie, As explained by the instructor and due to the following: * you havent passed your theory yet and as you planned it for March. * your practical test is not booked because you havent passed your theory. * long periods to be able to get a practical test slot after passing your theory in March. * the recommendation not to take further lessons was for you benefit. Sorry for that and Wish you all the luck in your theory test in March. Regards, Laura

Fantastic experience: Mike and Laura were absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend anyone more! Mike did in 3 months what other instructors couldn't do in 2 years. He was a very calm presence and gave me the knowledge and confidence to pass first time!

Fantastic experience: I booked my lessons on a very short notice and they helped me alot. The whole team was amazing especially Laura and My amazing instructor Uncle Mike. He taught me in great detail and only after 10 lessons I passed my test with 3 Minors. I recommend it to everyone one.

Fantastic experience: ((Mohammad)) Alhamdolillah passed my driving test today on 1st attempt, massive thanks to Mike who has been an outstanding instructor. From the very 1st lesson he was super helpful and patient as I never drove before. He emphasised on my weaknesses and helped me to improve a lot. Also really grateful to Laura for being flexible with my schedules and changing it according to my work. Highly recommend Omari Driving School to anyone who is struggling to get a grip on their driving or any 1st timers.

Negative experience: Very disappointing with Mike's attitude. After five lessons, I've decided to not continue with the course because Mikes lack of empathy, understanding and bad attitude. Since the beginning of my course I felt under pressure with Mikes attitued, he was not accordant with the fact that I didn't buy the amount of clasess that he recommended since the beginning. And I had to explained to him that I bought 10 lessons to start, but later I will buy the remaining 5, that I asked Laura if it was okay and she said that it was fine. Also I explained to him that I was planning to take the 15 lessons, that this was not a problem for me, that I was there to learn and pass the exam. Things were okay from there. A few days ago, I informed the school that I passed the theory test and asked for Advice to book the pratical test, since Mike was just available till the end of July due to holidays. Unfortunately, there was not availability to take the exam on July (Information that the school knows, which will be helpful to share with the student before selling a course) Laura then advised me to book the test the nearest date available (which was on December), and to check regularly the DVSA booking system to change the date beacuse sometimes, due to cancellations, it's possible to get a place for the current month. I agreed and booked the test. On saturday’s class, I was sharing with Mike the updates about the theory test and how I was looking forward to find a date on July to take the exam with him, by this point he got upset and with bad attitude towards me. Once again, insisting on the 15 classes and without any interest on what I was explaining and neither caring on what I needed. I think if you are professional, instead of arguing with the students about the amount of classes and having bad attitude, you should provide them with solutions or options in a positive and polite way. Very disappointing. I have to say that Laura was Professional and helpful.

Dear Perla, Due to the following and as explained by the instructor to you : 1- you just take 5 lesson and you are not ready to accompany you to the test . 2- to be ready to the test , you need to be driving safely and confidently on your own. 3- You have just passed your theory test and haven't booked your practical test yet. 4- the instructor will not be able to give you 20 hours (10 lessons) between now and the 22nd July ( the date when the instructor is going on a holiday as explained and confirmed before you started your training). 5- Your practical test is not booked yet. 6- the instructor will not be able to accompany you to the test with 24 hours notice due to other comitments to other pupils tests. 7- We totally understand the way you feel as you will not be able to go to the test in the next three weeks as iyou are not ready for the test and which is still not booked yet before the instructor holiday. We wish you all the luck in your driving journey.

Fantastic experience: I am delighted to recommend this driving school to any learners out there. I passed the first time I took my test-and within 3 months, which was a huge achievement as someone who was previously a nervous driver. From the beginning of my experience Laura was incredibly efficient, organised and quick to respond to queries or schedule changes. Mike was a joy to be in the car with, he had the perfect balance between working hard with you and making sure you felt at ease. I found myself laughing with him all of the time which I would have never pictured myself doing during driving lessons. The company made me feel supported and like they really cared about my driving and progress. I felt I knew the test routes and the manoeuvres comfortably and looked forward to each lesson. I’d like to thank Omari Driving school for changing my opinion on driving!

Fantastic experience: Five stars aren't enough for Laura and Mike. Professional, reliable, knowledgeable and above all, outstanding human beings, I can't recommend them enough. Both my husband and I have been schooled by Mike and supported by Laura, and every lesson, every interaction has filled us with gratitude for having come into contact with them. Thank you Mike and Laura! And don't think twice before signing up with them!

Fantastic experience: Passed from the first attempt. Mike is very professional. All the tips and the tricks needed for the exam he taught me in a very smooth, professional way. If he tells you that you will pass, you will definitely pass. I was too nervous for the test, but he gave me all the confidence. I strongly recommend
