Fantastic experience: Fahmida has been a very patient and knowledgeable instructor. When I was starting I was very nervous and anxious but she made me feel at ease. It has been a few months now that I had been doing my lessons with her and been gradually improving each time. It has been a positive experience and her guidance has been very beneficial and thorough. Thank you for everything you do to accommodate, Fahmida. — Franchesca

Fantastic experience: I have been taking lessons with Fahmida for almost a year now, every Saturday. She has made every lessons enjoyable and the entire learning process an ease. As someone who was extremely nervous to be on the roads, she’s helped me manage my nerves and build confidence as my ability as a driver. What sets her apart from other instructors I have met and used in the past is her ability to tailor each lessons to my needs and work at my pace. Even when I continued to make mistakes, rather than criticising me, making me feel guilty and inferior, she would work with me to understand where things needed improvement and constantly gave positive words of encouragement that allowed me to continue showing up and not giving up. My previous instructor unfortunately lacked this. She constantly would criticise, mock me or use sarcasm to make herself feel better at the expense of me progressing or learning anything new. When I got in touch with Fahmida for the first time, I explained this concern and she herself said ‘let’s do a trial session, if you like how I teach we will continue’ and I’m so happy I did. Unlike other instructors in the area, who simply push a student to get test ready, she pushes us to become a good driver on the roads for life, so that even after our test, we can drive with confidence and safety by ourselves. And why? Because she herself is a woman and mother, so understands why the stakes are far higher to be a good and competent driver on the roads, than to simply get aggressively ready for a test. I highly recommend her! She’s an amazing instructor, but an even better human!

Fantastic experience: I was really nervous before my first lesson, but Fahmida immediately made me feel at ease and confident. Throughout my lessons, she has helped me improve tremendously and drive with confidence. When I make mistakes, she never criticizes me; instead, she guides me patiently to correct them. I truly appreciate her supportive and encouraging approach, which has made learning to drive an enjoyable and positive experience.

Fantastic experience: Purchased 20 hour package and passed first time with excellent tutelage. If you're looking for carefully crafted lessons, tailor made for your individual ability and confidence, then look no further. This isn't Ramsay's kitchen nightmares. There's no animalistic barking or foaming at the mouth rage at every wrong turn. Mistakes were addressed with grace. It felt like I was being taught to drive by Mary Poppins. 10/10

Fantastic experience: I don’t even know where to start from. Don’t think about. Just book. I’ve had a few instructors and was starting to believe I would never be able to drive. Fahmida is amazing! I’ve always found our little conversations so relaxing and I found I would learn so much after just two hours. Thanks to her, I finally understand and enjoy driving. Thank you Fahmida!!

Eliana Silver 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I was recommended to Fahmida by a friend who passed first time. Before I met Fahmida I felt very negative about driving, as my previous driving instructor knocked my confidence. I heard such good things about Fahmida that I thought it was worth a try with a new instructor. I’m so pleased that I made this move. Fahmida is kind, friendly and patient. She’s made me feel confident in my own ability. She’s completely changed my perspective on learning to drive. I highly recommend Fahmida I assure you, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t thank you enough.

Shamima Begum 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This amazing lady changed my life! Over the last 4 years I've had several instructors and gaps in between learning how to drive, I was so anxious I would feel sick before my lessons and cancel then quit. This year, as a 30yr old learner I contacted F A Driving School and was placed on a waiting list for around a month as she was so in demand (which speaks for itself)..however I am so glad I waited and didn't go with another driving instructor!! I had absolutely no confidence and with Fahmida’s help and guidance I pushed through and actually enjoyed my driving lessons...resulting in me passing my test with no minors and now a comfortable driver. Thank you Fahmida, I have 3 happy children and a partner who no longer feels like a taxi driver!

Despite my many mistakes, having her as my teacher was very comforting to me. Thank you for everything!

Nickie Sullivan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fami is an excellent driving instructor - she was my third and final driving instructor. My previous instructors pressurised me to do manual even though i was not content. When contacting fami she reassured and made me feel confident with my own decisions and I proceeded to learn in an automatic vehicle. She is calm, professional and very engaging, which made lessons something to look forward to rather than something to 'get through' unlike other instructors. She made me feel at ease throughout my lessons and she was straight to the point, helping me pass as quickly as possible but also not rushing things, She knew my abilities and didn't teach me new things until I was ready. The patience Fami has is amazing i was shocked with how she dealt with and helped me polish up on my bad habits. She is exactly what you need when learning. I guarantee you will not be disappointed she is the one you need to pass. You can thank her later.
