Southside driving academy

Fantastic experience: Rashid was excellent, helped me pass first time with one minor. This is all him and I 100% recommend him to anyone reading this!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Southside Driving Academy enough! My instructor was super patient and calm. They really knew their stuff and gave me the right balance of independent driving and support. Booking lessons was also really easy. I’ve tried other driving schools in the past and didn’t enjoy the experience at all, but this was completely different because my instructor had a great sense of humour. My instructor also handled my anxiety/ nervousness well, and thanks to their amazing teaching, today I passed my practical test first time with only two minor faults! :)

Fantastic experience: I had the absolute pleasure of learning to drive in the UK with Rashid, and I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. From the very first lesson, Rashid's patience and dedication were evident. He has an incredible ability to explain complex driving techniques in a way that's easy to understand, regardless of your driving skill level even for experienced foreign drivers. Rashid's teaching style is both professional and personable. He creates a comfortable learning environment where you feel encouraged to ask questions and make mistakes - because, let's face it, that's how we learn best. His lessons are well-structured, focusing on both theory and practical skills, ensuring you're not just passing the test, but becoming a safe, confident driver for life. What really sets Rashid apart is his attention to detail. He doesn't just teach you to pass a test; he prepares you for real-world driving scenarios, which made my transition to independent driving seamless. His calm demeanor during high-pressure situations like parallel parking or roundabouts is invaluable. His flexibility with scheduling lessons made it easy to fit driving lessons into my busy life. If you're looking for an instructor who will genuinely care about your progress, safety, and success on the road, look no further than Rashid. He's not just a driving instructor; he's a mentor who equips you with the right skills and confidence to pass your driving test. Thanks to him, I passed my driving test with flying colours and feel secure every time I get behind the wheel. Five stars aren't enough for the service and expertise Rashid provides.
