On Pole Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Book with Ahmed as soon as you can! A phenomenal instructor and an all round great guy, he has a very calming and patient manner and is always good for a chat. He made me feel totally comfortable in the car at all times and confident that I was ready to take my test, passing first time with zero faults, and that's all down to his teaching. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor!
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Ahmed enough! From the very first lesson, he made me feel at ease with his calm, personable approach. He’s not only a brilliant instructor but someone who genuinely tailors each lesson to suit your pace and needs. He's personable which made all the difference. Thanks to his guidance and support, I passed first time with just two minors, something after many instructors beforehand, I never thought possible. Learning with him has truly given me a new sense of freedom, and I’m so grateful for it. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for someone who’s professional, encouraging, and just genuinely great to be around.
Fantastic experience: I would recommend Ahmed to anyone, he doesn’t mess about, threw me in the deep end and it really helped as everything I learnt, I learnt well. We always had a laugh and he always made me feel comfortable and never made me feel bad making mistakes. The kindest and (sometimes) funniest person I know, I passed with two minors and I would not have done it without him.
Fantastic experience: Ahmed is the best driving instructor! I always enjoyed my driving lessons with him, he made me feel relaxed and at ease. I definitely recommend. I passed first time.. all Thanks to Ahmed!
Fantastic experience: I loved learning to drive with Ahmed. He's friendly and attentive, nothing gets past him. I always felt completely safe and supported, and I ended up with more than enough information, knowledge and confidence to take the test. I passed my test first time :)
Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Ahmed enough. If you’re after an instructor who’s professional, friendly, reliable, organised, patient, confidence-inspiring and takes time to explain everything really well, On Pole’s the one.
Fantastic experience: Ahmed is the best driving instructor I've had (and I can say that because I've had a few...). I've been trying to learn for years and honestly thought I was just someone who would never be able to drive. I couldn't see how I could ever pass a test due to nerves and anxiety. But today I passed! This was 100% down to the way Ahmed teaches. He is incredibly patient and understanding, plus he explains everything so clearly and makes it all feel easy. Lessons with him were always a joy and I'm kind of sad I passed and won't have any more! Highly recommend — thank you, Ahmed!
Fantastic experience: Thank you very much you helping me learn to drive and more than anything helping me feel confident to drive . You are a best Instructor ever and ever.- Today is 6 years ago & Still no points
Fantastic experience: I’m so glad I learnt to drive with On Pole!! Ahmed really is the best at what he does. Always calm and patient, explains things in a clear & easy to understand way. But most importantly lessons were always fun! I passed first time thanks to On Pole Driving School. Would absolutely recommend.
Fantastic experience: I passed first time with On Pole which was so important as I had to get driving as quick as possible to help family. I enjoyed my lessons and was surprised at how quick I was test ready. Legend!
Fantastic experience: I’m always look forward for my lesson with Ahmad. He’s really understanding and a really good teacher. It’s always good to have a good instruction like him, he doesn’t get annoyed from repeating the same things many times until you get it right. He always say “I care about my students safety first” I highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Ahmed is a super calm and patient driving instructor and such a lovely person. Highly recommended!
Thanks Davinia :) hope you’re well
Fantastic experience: Learning to drive with Ahmed was an absolute pleasure. He has a real skill at explaining the processes involved in driving in a really clear and easy to understand way. He was always patient when I was having a bad lesson and his good humour always meant the lessons were a lot of fun. I genuinely missed our drives together after passing my test. Highly recommended instructor!
Never a bad lesson Luke. Hope you’re enjoying being on the road!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant driving instructor Ahmed taught me so well i passed first time. Calm and clear instructions meant i grew in confidence from the first lesson. Each lesson was interesting and knowledge building, I have recommended Ahmed several times to friends and Ahmed is now teaching my son who is enjoying the learning from his lessons as much as i did.
Now your making me feel old teaching generations! Loved teaching you too Anthony! Hope you're well.
Fantastic experience: Honestly, the best instructor I have ever had! Ahmed was patient, communicated clearly and made me feel so at ease, especially as I was really nervous to start learning later on in life. I really enjoyed my lessons with him and can always remember parking / driving tips he gave to this day. It always pleases me to see his students passing their test pretty much first time, and always with the lowest of minors. I have only taken my test once and passed first time, with 2 minors! And that is all thanks to Ahmed and his brilliant teaching. Highly recommend, please look at his FB page to see everyone's passes!
Amazing Sophie, brilliant student too! Hope you and the family are well. Safe driving!
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend On Pole any more!! Every lesson I would learn so much and was also made very fun so learning didn’t seem like such a chore, honestly could not have asked for a better instructor. From start to finish it only took me 4 month to pass, and this was only with one 2 hour lesson a week. Once passing myself I’ve recommended many people to use On Pole driving school and they would all agree on how great of a process it was.
Super student, a natural! Thanks for the recommendations Caleb :)
Fantastic experience: Extremely reliable driving instructor. Provides all the fundamental knowledge and hard work to gain your first time pass at a reasonable price. No-nonsense, cuts straight to the point, literally just what people need. Cannot recommend him enough!
Thanks Mate, pleasure to teach. Hope the driving is going well!
Fantastic experience: The best driving instructor you’ll ever find. I passed my driving test 1st time with 4 minors, and that’s coming from someone who is a nervous wreck in any slightly stressful situation. Ahmed makes lessons so enjoyable, I honestly miss having driving lessons so much because he made them such an enjoyable thing. He’s also so extremely calm, that even if you make a mistake you don’t panic as you know it’s okay. Not a bad word to say :)
That’s a lovely review Katie! You did great! ️ drive safe :)
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend On Pole highly enough! Ahmed is the best instructor. He’s professional, makes learning fun and digestible. I passed first time and so have both the people I recommended!
Hi Katie, thanks for the lovely review :) see you on the road!
Fantastic experience: The best instructor you could ever wish for!
Oh that’s amazing!!
Fantastic experience: Ahmed is the best driving instructor! I had three different instructors in my journey to passing my test. After failing multiple times, I was ready to pack in the towel, but then I met Ahmed! His calming demeanour and fantastic direction put me a ease behind the wheel, it wasn’t long before I gained confidence and knowledge to take my test again and pass!! Thank you very much for your guidance Ahmed! 10 out of 10 - 5* highly recommend!!
Glad you did so well Samson, great lessons! Drive safe
Fantastic experience: Every lesson was a pleasure, really supportive with driving and teaching me on how to pass my test (which I did first try thanks to ahmed) and had a blast every lesson and looked forward to being in the car
Fantastic experience: Ahmed is a top bloke and a fantastic instructor. I was let down by a previous driving school 6 weeks before my test. Ahmed was kind enough to fit me in and I’m grateful he did. I thought I was ready before driving with him but he really refined my driving. Thanks so much Ahmed!
Fantastic experience: This was the best place I could have learnt to drive. Ahmed taught my sister and she was the one who told me to go with him. I learnt so much from him and the lessons were always fun. There was never a stressful moment because he is so calm and patient. I've passed my test now but if I could learn with him all over again, I would. I will miss the lessons honestly. I have recommended him to many of my friends and family. And i will continue to do so. 10 out of 10
Fantastic experience: I would 100% recommend Ahmed. Very patient and supportive instructor. Every lesson was a blast and everything was just amazing. Thanks 4 everything Ahmed.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Ahmed to anyone looking to learn to drive. He is patient, encouraging and supportive. He also makes lessons feel fun! I gave Ahmed a challenge as my theory test certificate was expiring in just over a month, but he took me on and I passed my practical test first time! 100% recommend to everyone - Ahmed is amazing!
Fantastic experience: Ahmed was an absolutely amazing teacher, being a girl I was worried that I might feel awkward if I had a male teacher, but he made me feel so calm and comfortable behind the wheel he was very supportive and extremely patient when it came to learning new things! 100000% recommend!!
Fantastic experience: Tried a few instructors but on pole made me feel so much more comfortable and confident in my ability to pass my test!
Thank you, glad I helped! Hope your enjoying the freedom of driving!
Fantastic experience: Recommended to learn with On Pole through a family friend. First lesson in and I was driving straight away, no time was wasted talking about learning and theory. Helped a lot with nerves and made it as relaxing as can be. Helped with my theory and passed the exam first time!
Hey josh, so glad to hear, hope your enjoying the car!
