Hackney Driving School

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Cabdi enough. I have driving experience, and so called loads of driving schools who each wanted me to register for 5-10 classes without checking my level. Cabdi though said let's see how you drive and assess. He was calm and extremely helpful. Within a few classes I felt completely prepared and passed on the first go. Of course you may need more if you're less experienced, but trust his assessment. Cabdi is the perfect teacher, pragmatic, relaxed, knowledgeable, and informative.

Fantastic experience: I had been putting off getting my license for a while, but finally decided to get it done and was so happy I found Cabdi. He’s been ever so helpful and patient with me, and so flexible as well. I said I wanted to pass in first try and I did! Thank you Cabdi - would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test thanks to Cabdi! He is calm. Most of the time he is flexible with time if you book your whole month earlier, His patience, expert guidance, and encouraging approach made all the difference. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn to drive with confidence! Thanks Cabdi one more time man! Appreciate it.

Negative experience: Really unprofessional instructor.  Due to his poor command of the English language, he has very little capacity to describe manoeuvres. Additionally, he has a tendency to get frustrated really easily at people before giving them a chance to respond or explain what they have done wrong. The majority of the time, you have to wait weeks for him to reply or he won't respond at all due to his exceedingly slow response times. He abandoned me a month prior to my test, which prevented me from taking it. Avoid this instructor at all costs, would not advise his school.

Fantastic experience: Had a two hour refresher with Cabdi. He was very patient and calm, an excellent instructor. Car was pretty new and easy to drive.

Fantastic experience: Cabdi is an excellent driving instructor. I passed first time. Very experienced and is very flexible in terms of organising lessons. Would definitely recommend!

Negative experience: Called text no reply 2 days later very poor communication not recommended

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test yesterday! I had previously learnt a few years ago but never got round to taking the test. Cabdi was great at seeing what I was was good at and what needed more work and within two months I sat the test and confidently passed. Cabdi was an excellent teacher. Assertive but calm- which is what you need in a driving instructor! Never makes you feel bad for making a mistake, which I think is really important. I work as well as in full time education and Cabdi was great at finding a time every week that worked. And was very understanding with any last minute changes. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: I’d highly recommend Hackney Driving School! Very thorough, very professional, went the extra mile literally and figuratively to help me pass on the first time!

Fantastic experience: I did 15 lessons (30 hours) with Cabdi in the space of 5 weeks and was able to pass first time at Wood Green with 6 minors due to his help and expertise. He is very calm even when you make mistakes and explains all practical driving concepts well. His knowledge of common roads and routes taken at test centres is his best quality which makes you best prepared for your test. Highly recommend this instructor to anyone looking to learn to drive in a calm and safe environment. Thanks again Cabdi :)

Negative experience: Dont go here, Instructor wasn't professional with booking my lessons and took very long to reply

Fantastic experience: 100% recommend this driving school, Cabdi was my driving instructor. The guy was an amazing teacher and was very patient with me and made me feel confident with my driving, because of his excellent teaching I was able to pass first time. Once again 100% recommended!

Fantastic experience: Cabdi is a very calm, patient and supportive driving instructor. I passed first time within 12 weeks of lessons (delay with booking test due to backlog). I tried 3 driving instructors before Cabdi but all they cared about is money. Cabdi was never pushy with taking more lessons with him, he’s great so you want to take more lessons with him. He works around you. He focuses on teaching you the rules of the road and the test from the very first lesson. Cabdi calmly talks you through how to do practical elements of the test rather than sitting there wasting time talking. Practice makes perfect is what he always told me and we practiced everything until I perfected it. I would get nervous when making mistakes but he always reassured me that I can do this and I am fine. Overall I highly recommend Cabdi to everyone, I can’t fault him in anyway. He made a stressful situation so easy for me and I’m so grateful. Cabdi - sorry my review took 2 years! Thank you Cabdi!!

Fantastic experience: Cabdi, was the perfect teacher for someone who is learning in their 30's. He explains things well, is patient and quickly identifies your mistakes and how to correct them. His knowledge of the test routes, and what the examiners look for were so valuable to my success I was able to pass first time with only 2 minors. On top of this, he is a nice guy and good to spend some time with. Thank you Cabdi for your hard work with me.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Cabdi 100%. He has alot of patience, always showed up early to my lessons, has understanding, knowledge of the codes and roads, and is very helpful all round. I was always encouraged that I was a good driver and that I could pass and he always took the time to reassure me, which is not easy because I am a type of person to panic alot! But he didn't let me give up and kept reassuring me that I can do it. I had lessons twice a week and started in January 2020, had test booked for April but coronavirus stopped lessons in March, and then i restarted in July and got an email to rebook test which I did for August. Yesterday 14/08/2020 (as its 00:03 now on 15/08/2020) I have passed my driving test 1st TIME, with only ONE minor!! This is incredible, and my driving test statistics truly reflect the incredible lessons and tutoring I received from Cabdi. I cannot express my thanks to him enough for all the reassuring times, effort he put in, patience and knowledge that he passed down to me to enable me to past on my 1st go. I didnt think I could do it, but he believed I could before I even did myself! I'm still in disbelief that I have passed and I felt the pressure to pass due to the covid situation but Cabdi encouraged me that I am a good driver and he knew I would pass. Honestly if you need lessons with someone dedicated to helping you pass in a professional, friendly knowledgeable way, ask for Cabdi, you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Cabdi is a patient and professional instructor. I found him to be polite and incredibly chilled guy. He doesn't rush you and knows his stuff. I would definitely recommend. Sayid

Fantastic experience: Passed my mock test today and thanks to Cabdi I will pass the real one soon. He is the best

Fantastic experience: Cadbi is the best of the best! Incredibly calm, clear and patient - I passed first-time with just 3 minors after 25 hours of lessons spread over a few weeks. He's also a really sweet man who's a pleasure to be around... important when you're sitting next to each other for so long!

Fantastic experience: Very good instructor! Taught me everything needed for the test which allowed me to pass first time! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had previously failed my driving test twice, (badly) and this was outside of London. I tried everything including intensive courses both times in not so busy areas. I thought i would never pass. Then Cabdi started teaching me and a couple of months later i passed with two minors. I cant express enough how incredible Cabdi is as a teacher, he doesn't waste time during lessons, focuses on improving the areas specific to you, covers all test routes thoroughly and most importantly helps you to believe in yourself and help you become a confident driver while making lessons fun and engaging! I could not fault this man in any single way! He saved me! my absolute hero, i would recommend Cabdi to anyone who wants a solid chance at passing their test in London or and is willing to work for it! I still cant quite believe how much he transformed me and with such patience and kindness. I wanted to buy him a gift to thank him but all he would accept is this review....So please trust me and go with him! Thank you again so much Cabdi, I will never forget you. Jade

Fantastic experience: I passed my test within a few weeks of having lessons. Mr Adbi was very calm and reassuring! I had previously had lessons a few years ago and always felt quite nervous in them and because of that often made mistakes, but Mr Adbi’s teaching style really helped me to feel more confident and I looked forward to my lessons. He worked with me to find an approach to manoeuvres that meant I learned them quickly and in a way that worked for me. I would really recommend lessons with Cabdi Driving School!

Fantastic experience: Cabdi was an excellent instructor, I pass first time so happy to learn from, I will always recommend people to him.

Fantastic experience: I JUST PASSED MY DRIVING TEST TODAY AND ITS ALL THANKS TO ABDI! He teaches in a simple way and he's such a calming person with a great personality. Honestly the best driving instructor I've ever had and the only one I've passed with!

Fantastic experience: He's been extremely helpful and easy to talk to. He's always on time and doesn't mind going through things over and over again. The test I've taken is exactly same as I took during the mock test. I would highly recommend him to take your driving lessons.

Fantastic experience: Hi All, I have just passed my driving test with all the thanks Mr Abdi, I have done an intense course and he ensured that I have covered all the test routes till I’m comfortable and confident. During this time, he ensured I know all the possible ways I drive safe and given tips on staying on the left lane. At start my positioning of the car was very poor that I used to stay behind and let the road be clear on tight roads. He has helped me build my confidence. I will recommend to all those who are willing to grasp all the tips, techniques and be confident in the short period of time. All the best (Y)
