Fantastic experience: Never write a review, however, I passed my driving test last Thursday first attempt, never sat in a car before. My experience couldn't be any better, I highly recommend SALAH. Very respectful, no wasting your time or money, very practical and very professional, super polite, never shout, never upset, never bring you down, feedback always very positive. I've never doubt I was going to pass as he helped me to build a lot confidence. I am very grateful for the last 6-months to have him as instructor. THANK YOU ATLAS. THANK YOU SALAH

Fantastic experience: Shiza is a very good excellent instructor. She is so patience, friendly in teaching and keeps going over and over untill you fix your fault which is really good for us not to make a mistake next time. She explains so well by step by step. The conversation and the comfort she gave was so lovely. I passed it on the 1st attempt. Great big thanks to Shiza. It was a pleasure driving with her. If you are looking for an automatic lessons please please go with Shiza.
Thank you so much Hazal
Fantastic experience: Laila is an amazing instructor. Very calm, patient and professional. I haven’t done my test yet but my lessons have been amazing and I am a confident learner because of her. If you are looking for an instructor to boost your confidence and make you a great driver, go for Laila.
Thank you so much Nwokocha
Negative experience: Atlas driving center is the worst driving center. Shiza was my instructor, at the very start she was very friendly but whenever I asked about the driving she kept on saying that the date is not available this kept on going and finally I got a date after a year. As we were approaching the final test date she kept pointing minor issues and gave me anxiety which and the test was on 6th September 2023 and on that day she didn't give me her car even when I requested and unfortunately I failed my test. Then a gave another test 25 September and passed my test. In my opinion there is a group shiza, huma and imad they purposely discourage their learner so that their income keeps on increasing.
Hi Saman - I’m Ali (managing director at Atlas). I think some information might be helpful for others reading your review.
We don’t need to hold pupils back to increase our earnings. Hundreds of people pass with us every year and our instructors are in demand. More than that, we all chose this profession because we like helping people to succeed!
We only put someone forward for their test when both the pupil AND their instructor are agreed that the pupil is a safe driver - this is what the DVSA are assessing. This is important for public safety, the pupil’s confidence, and also their budget - because failing costs money. The pupil will need at least one lesson to review the test and practice the faults that caused them to fail. Then there is the cost of the pre-test lesson, and the test fee from the DVSA (government agency).
You started lessons with Imad, and his decision was that you were not yet ready to take the test. You disagreed and wanted to switch to Huma (one of our most popular instructors). Huma doesn’t teach automatic so you couldn’t learn with her, and switched to Sheeza. You booked your test on 6th September on your own and against Sheeza’s advice. She did not think you were a safe driver at that time. Both Sheeza and I advised you to postpone the test. We were also clear that if you took the test it would be without Atlas. You insisted on going ahead on your own, and this is why Sheeza’s car was not available to you.
Negative experience: On 3rd December the driving instructor of this vehicle Reg GL22 NPA, sped up as the lane was merging into one to overtake me and would have dented my car if I did not brake. I beeped at him and after getting in front of my vehicle, he stopped the vehicle so no one could go past, holding up a queue of vehicles. This is on video. He was the only person in the vehicle so it was not a learner driver. I have a picture of him as he proceeded to open the door of the car to remonstrate. I also have a witness who waa a passenger in my car.Please beware of this driver. Very aggressive and unprofessional. I'm sure they'll be other complaints as he clearly has a bad attitude.
Thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: My driving instructor John Kinyera was so kind, helpful and thorough. He made me feel comfortable and answered every question I had, plus he's just a really nice guy. He clearly knows his stuff back-to-front and taught me so many things I never knew how to do properly. Even while cycling, I understand the rules of the road better and feel more confident executing maneuvers. I always hear John's good advice in my head. I passed my driving test first time!
Thank you so much Kate
Negative experience: I had a few lessons with Imad, but I noticed he is very unprofessional, usually late or cancelled lessons. He cancels lessons at the last moment and he is constantly on the phone. He wasn't interested in teaching the details, but making money and having as many lessons as possible. I recommend everyone to avoid Imad as an instructor. I am very interested in just wasting time and money for nothing - poor quality and childish lies. Eventually I found an honest instructor and I passed without even 1 minor.
Thank for your review
Fantastic experience: My instructor Laila eas amzing from lesson to test. I was given all the tools needed to pass my test. They will not send you for a test of your not ready. Laila cares more about you being a confident driver, not just pushing people through. I passed first time. Dont think that would of made it without Laila or Atlas driving school.
Thank you so Jermaine
Negative experience: I won’t name names, but my driving instructor cancelled at 10.30pm on Friday night for my Saturday morning lesson and then never turned up to my Sunday lesson. Have not yet had a reason from the instructor, or an apology. Avoid.
Hi Harriet
I have spoken with your instructor Imad and found that there have been problems in communication. Imad has shown me the text messages that he sent you about your lesson times, together with your confirmation of the arrangements. Even when he was parked outside for your lesson, he wasn’t getting any response from you. I would request you to call me and I’ll do my best to help resolve this.
Ali
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Imad for getting me test ready in 10 lessons and less than 5 weeks. I didn't think I was going to pass as the time frame was so short, but Imad reassured me that I should be confident as Im doing well. I managed to pass first time!!! After dealing with unreliable, rude and unprofessional instructors over the last 2 years, his approached was exactly what I needed. I'm glad I never settled and kept looking. Lessons were relaxed and student led. Communication was also very good. I've had 7 driving instructors during my learning process and Imad by far was the best.
Thank you so much Zo
Fantastic experience: Driver instructor Muddasar Ali he is the best driver. I am really happy that I got him to be my driver instructor he’s friendly and very patient.

Thank you so much Daisy
Fantastic experience: I normally don't write reviews but I just have to. My driving instructor Jackie was honestly amazing. Anyone whos wondering which instructor to choose, please pick her. Jackie doesn't only teach you in order to pass your test, she transforms you into a great driver FOR LIFE. Her patience and attention to detail is truly remarkable, and she creates an environment where you can feel comfortable learning at your own pace, while still making progress. I've had the best experience learning to drive with her. Thank you sooo much again Jackie, your incredible.
Thank you so much Petra
Fantastic experience: Had Sophie help me with some lessons and then took my test in Morden of all places - nowhere near where I live. She was fantastic, really clear and knowledgeable, pointed out my faults when needed but was happy to say when I drove well. She was night and day better than previous instructor and helped get me over the line - I passed first time with her. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: My driving instructor Huma was a great teacher. Though I only got to spend 10 hours with her, she always made sure to teach me to her best ability and always made sure i understood what she was teaching. It was a pleasure driving with her.
Thank You so much Chuuvrse
Fantastic experience: I took lessons from atlas driving school after a incident with another driving instructor that didn’t go well. Huma was the instructor that decided to take me on board. I was nervous but she took that all away :D It was amazing, she was caring, kind and generous with every lesson and pushed me to do better every single time. The conversations and the comfort she provided was so lovely I would recommend anybody to her. Finally after much practice and motivation from huma, I passed today and I can gratefully say it was because of huma! My one and only favourite instructor! Thank you so so much huma☺️❤️
Thank You so much Mumtaz
Fantastic experience: Having been stuck with getting my license in the midst of the pandemic, Atlas Driving School was a life saver. Driving instructor Huma ma’am was an angel sent from heaven. She agreed to take a crash course for me and put in the efforts to make me test ready within three days. She also agreed to take extra classes by shuffling some around, so as to ensure I take my driving test on time. She is so patient and understanding with you and keeps going over and over your faults and tries her best to correct them. She was very supportive on the day of the test and due to her efforts, I passed my test at the first attempt. Thank you Huma ma’am.
Thank You so much Davesh
Fantastic experience: My driving instructor Huma is very patient with me and is more than happy to go over certain points if I did not manage to pick it up at first try. She is also always encouraging me to believe in myself more and my abilities as an upcoming driver and for that I am thankful.
Thank You so much Ruben
