OXFORD DRIVING ACADEMY: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving exam in an automatic on the first attempt with only 2 minors, thanks to the patient and expert training from Adnan. Adnan was always punctual to every lesson, informing me well ahead in case he was getting delayed (which was very rare). He took the teaching at a pace that was comfortable for me, revisiting some basics whenever I needed it. He always made time at the end of each lesson to go over any questions I had and clarified patiently. I had zero driving experience before my lessons with Adnan and also did not have access to friends/family's car for practice outside of lessons. Throughout the time I spent learning with him, he offered me very valuable advise to make responsible driving decisions, step-by-step approach to performing maneuvers correctly which really went a long way on my test day. He had very good knowledge of the test routes as well which gave me great driving practice on the routes. I definitely recommend Adnan for anyone, especially if you're an absolute beginner like I was. Thank you Adnan and Oxford Driving Academy.
Well done satya on passing your driving test on the first attempt. Ee appreciate taking time out and leaving us your feedback. We wish you a Safe Driving for life. Oda team
Fantastic experience: I had my first lesson in late January, and immediately they offered me a lesson to try out the very week I called. Over January to this date, February 21st I have had lessons twice a week with my brilliant instructor who I must give an extra thanks to Amir! Amir was incredibly patient, calm and so knowledgeable on everything from roundabouts to boosting moral and confidence. He was so clear in his instructions and would explain all the what’s and whys. I really struggle with self-belief but Amir had my back every time. We booked a test and I passed first time! I strongly recommend Oxford Driving Academy.
HI, EVE, we are very pleased to see a very happy customer. We wish you all the best with future driving. Safe driving for life... oda team
Fantastic experience: Amir was an excellent instructor who helped me feel fully prepared for my driving test. We practised all possible routes beforehand, and he explained the rules clearly and thoroughly. Thanks to his guidance, I passed on my first attempt! Highly recommend.
That is a great news Edmond. W e are delighted you passed, but passing at first attempt i always awesome.. Wish you safe drive for life...
Fantastic experience: Amir is an excellent instructor!! Very Knowledge with clear explanations to break down complex maneuvers. Also, very patient and helpful. He ensured I was ready for test and so I passed the test at my first go. Thank you Amir for your patience, kindness and confidence! Highly recomended!
Awesome. well-done Antonette, we are happy you have enjoyed your experience with ODA..well-done And wishing you safe drive for life..
Fantastic experience: I had around 25 hours of lessons (with a small amount of previous experience) with Amir and I have just passed my driving test first time! Amir was extremely patient and made sure I was completely ready for my test. He taught me all the techniques such as parking and how to tackle roundabouts which I previously felt very nervous doing. I was a very nervous driver before taking lessons with Amir and now I feel very confident to go out and drive safely and happily. He always made sure I felt confident with all aspects of driving and we would go over and practise the elements I didn’t feel as comfortable with until I felt like I could do them easily. I would highly recommend Amir for driving lessons, he is a great teacher!
Fantastic experience: Having tried to learn to drive years ago with another instructor and not got very far despite many lessons, I finally decided to try again in an automatic. Addi was a great instructor - professional and patient. He helped raise my confidence and combat my nerves. He ensured I was well prepared for the test, going over tricky routes and roundabouts and giving me strategies for the manoeuvres. I passed my test first time with 4 minors. I would recommend ODA to anyone wanting to learn to drive in Oxford.
Negative experience: I had two lessons with Zia and wouldn’t recommend him. He got easily frustrated when I didn’t understand a concept and instead of staying calm and patient he raised his voice, making me more stressed. He also would see me do things incorrectly and instead of fixing it in the moment he would let me do it and then afterwards say I did it all wrong. He definitely made me more anxious about driving and feeling like there’s no way I would pass my test.
Fantastic experience: I struggled to find a good driving instructor that could help me identify issues for an affordable price. When I came across Amir, I was blown away by how patient and knowledgeable he was. Amir would help me pick up on my weaknesses while supporting me to improve them. He was calm and always tried to understand my thought process. One thing I really liked is that he always made sure his students are test ready before they want to jump into the test and his way of preparation for the test was not to say whether you passed or failed but to just buildup your confidence in driving and help you on the mistakes you make. After I passed with 4 Minors, he said to me that all of his students that pass end up having 5 maximum minors and I think this backs up that previous points I mentioned. I live in Wallingford and when booking lessons, I would take the x40 to Rose Hill. So if you are in towns outside of Oxford and need an instructor, I recommend travelling to the outskirts for Amir, he is that good. In my eyes, Amir has been an excellent instructor to the point where I will be recommending him to friends and colleagues in Oxfordshire for sure. To Amir, thank you for your support that you’ve provided me throughout my driving journey which I will always remember your important words of “No Rushing and No Delays”!
Hey Phillip congrats on passing your test, grrrrreat job.. We are very happy that not only you passed but enjoyed your experience with Oda. Wishing you safe drive for life.
Fantastic experience: Went from failing my first test five years ago, being nervous to start again, to passing with just one minor in three months using only lessons. Highly recommend Amir.
Fantastic experience: Amir is the best level of driving teacher you can find! He goes the extra mile to ensure you are prepared and feel confident. He’s incredibly patient and has a really strong technical knowledge which helps to understand different driving routes. Very lucky to have had him as my teacher as I passed after 5 months of lessons:)
Fantastic experience: I passed my test within 2 months thanks to my amazing instructor. I was very well supported and had an intensive session before the test. The instructor was very flexible, including Sunday early mornings which was very helpful. Would highly recommend to family and friends .
Fantastic experience: I took some lessons prior to ODA school, however most of the things I learnt was not right. After taking 7 classes with Adnan I passed. The most important quality that he had which helped me a lot was his ability to boost my confidence. I would Highly recommend him as a driving instructor if you want to pass with little stress.
Hey thats a grrrreat news.. Well done we at the oda are delighted to see you leave our school with a smile. We wish you all the best and safe drive for life. Oda team
Fantastic experience: Passed first time. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test in first attempt. This was all because Adnan. Also I did had few lesson with Amir. Both of them are an excellent instructor. The standard of oxford driving academy is very high hence have helped me not only pass my test but also made me a good and safe driver on the road. Thank you Oxford Driving Academy.
Fantastic experience: Amir was a great instructor, I had a very short period of time to practice before upgrading my license from automatic only to a full one and with his guidance I passed. I was grateful he was able to accommodate me with such short notice. Thanks Amir :)
Fantastic experience: I can't thank my driving instructor Adnan enough for helping me achieve my goal of passing the driving test in the UK. Their guidance, expertise, and patience were instrumental in my success. From day one, they created a comfortable and supportive learning environment, which boosted my confidence and allowed me to progress quickly. Their knowledge of the UK driving regulations, combined with their effective teaching methods, made the learning experience enjoyable and educational. They were punctual, professional and provided constructive feedback after each lesson. I truly felt that they were invested in my success. Thanks to their dedication and commitment, I passed my driving test with flying colours on the first attempt. I highly recommend Adnan to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and reliable instructor to help them achieve their driving goals. I couldn't have done it without them
Fantastic experience: Amir was amazing, helped me so much to pass my test. I learnt so much in such a small space of time
Fantastic experience: Lessons were run professionally, on time, in a helpful structured way. It was well paced. Although I failed my first attempt lessons to rectify that and get it right the next time we're very successful. The instructors were friendly and reasonably flexible. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: I had about 7/8 lesson with Umar, and passed my test first time with 4 minors! He was an exceptional driving instructor and made me feel very at ease with every single driving lesson. He was a very friendly and experienced driving instructor! I couldn’t recommend a better driving school.
Fantastic experience: Adnan is a amazing instructor - he is professional, patient and has a great way of teaching. He is a highly experienced instructor and will prepare you to not only pass the test but also to drive confidently in real world conditions. Not a bad word to say and I would 100% recommend him to anyone!
Hey, great job in passing your test, and we are so glad you had an awesome time while learning. Wishing you the best Thanks Oda team
Fantastic experience: Addi is such an exceptional teacher. He's done the "impossible" (my parents always thought I shouldn't even try) and turned me into a competent driver. He prepared me thoroughly for my test this week and I passed with just 3 minors! He's very attentive and explains concepts clearly and humorously, sometimes even using a mini-blackboard to visualise. He was also always patient with my ADHD which meant poor multi-tasking and sometimes not hearing when he's speaking to me... and even, forgetting my license on my test day. He went the extra mile to fetch the license from my boyfriend while I ran inside the test centre. Thanks Addi for helping me pass my test!
Hey Amy thats a great news that not only you passed, but you also had a great time at the Academy.. Wish you all the best.. "Safe Driving for life".. Oda team

Fantastic experience: If I could give a 10 star review I would! Had an amazing learning experience with Addi, who taught me as a complete beginner with no previous experience. He was always very calm and patient, and he explained everything clearly. Also, all my mistakes were corrected in a constructive way so I could make progress quickly and effectively. I just passed today first time with only 1 minor! Thanks so much Addi! :)
Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend Addi as an instructor, who is nice, patient and professional. Addi captured each mistake I made, and immediately let me know what I should have done. Even though I made the same mistake a few times, Addi was always patient enough to me and kept explaining to me again and again. I enjoy learning with him, and I just passed the exam this morning with only one minor fault. I am really lucky to have such a great instructor.

Fantastic experience: I passed after learning with Addi, as an experienced driver but with limited familiarity with Oxford routes and some bad habits. Addi is professional, calming, flexible with hours, giving me lots of tips to get me test-ready, and it’s a great car to drive and have tests in.
Fantastic experience: I had 15 hours of lessons with Addi in the 2 week run-up to my test, after previously being with a different instructor. Addi was professional and friendly during each lesson, and flexible with lessons times. He was highly knowledgeable about driving around Oxford and prepared my very well for the test and the routes. Addi quickly highlighted the flaws in my driving and was able to critique in a productive way. Passed first time - wish I learned with him from the start!
