Fantastic experience: Shahin has been extremely kind and patient during my learning journey. He did a great job encouraging me, helping reduce my anxiety and making progress after every single lesson. I can’t recommend him enough :)

Fantastic experience: Shahin is an extremely competent driving instructor. I had never driven before my first lesson with Shahin and he was able to immediately give me confidence behind the wheel. Later, Shahin was able to identify the areas that I had to improve and he had a solution for all of them. More than identifying the areas of improvement, he was actually able to explain me why I was doing some mistakes. It was extremely helpful and we would then keep exercising until I improve. I strongly recommend Shahin, I would not have learned how to drive safely and confidently (and pass the test) without him.

Fantastic experience: Shahin has been very helpful on getting me used to drive in London after having learned how to drive on the right side of the road. His approach to learning is excellent and i cannot recommend him enough as a driving instructor!

Kieran Reilly 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Highly professional. Lessons conducted in a modern, clean, well-maintained vehicle (in my case, a MINI Cooper automatic) in a safe and relaxed environment. It was a pleasure to meet and learn from Shahin, who was clear and thorough in his guidance and explanations, both verbally and through the clever and appropriate use of diagrams on the tablet. I felt like the learning was very much tailored to what I needed and addressed some of the bad habits I had developed over the years. Although I am an experienced driver, I still learned a considerable amount and there was much for me to take away from the lessons to make me test-ready, which I subsequently passed. I enjoyed my lessons and would recommend to anyone learning to drive, whatever stage they were at in their learning path

Fantastic experience: From day one Shahin was very patient, calm and methodical in his instruction. Each lesson had a very clear plan, and with a very clear progression across numerous sessions. I found Shahin’s use of his iPad to sketch out issues I needed to be aware of, as well guidance on how to prepare for roundabouts, dual carriageways, and parking to be incredibly useful. Having been to numerous driving schools, l can state categorically that one will be hard-pressed to find an instructor with more experience, expertise, and patience than Shahin — he is quite simply superb and one of the best.

Fantastic experience: We have found Shahin to be a very patient, thoughtful, caring and effective instructor. He has a wonderful ability to make a student feel calm, safe and confident. He instills good habits and skills. Highly recommended.

Nettie Atkisson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Shahin is very systematic and organized in how he approaches learning to drive. He has a syllabus he follows, has an IPad with images and that he uses to draw and illustrate methods and principles. After I made a mistake, he has a car camera where we can review the footage. After moving from the USA, I had no idea how to get a license in England and he kindly explained it all to me even though I wasn’t his student, he guided me and told me where to start. Really great teacher. Probably one of the best

Fantastic experience: Shahin is a great driving teacher. He gives you clear methods and ways of doing things and gives u the opportunity to practice the toughest parts of driving on a regular basis, making you prepare for any situation. He will always give important feedback when needed. It’s also an enjoyable way of learning through challenging drives.

Fantastic experience: Shahin is an outstanding driving instructor, he helped me pass as soon as possible given lockdowns and first time. When In the car with him I felt completely comfortable at all times , he was patient but also a very good teacher. Not only that but he is extremely nice which made the lessons enjoyable.

Kyle Dixon 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Shahin was exceptionally patient with me, after I had a slightly rocky time with another driving instructor, I really felt at ease with Shahin's way of teaching. My confidence grew far beyond my expectations and it's all thanks to him making feel safe and secure. With Shahin you are not just learning how to pass the test you are learning how to drive safely and feel confident in the car on your own. If you follow his instructions you will not only significantly increase you chances of passing but you'll also become a component driver which is the real test believe me.

Joanna Sutherland 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Shahin is an excellent teacher. He is professional, personable and patient. He has an excellent manner and is very calm, but also very encouraging and positive. I always suggest him as an instructor to anyone I know or meet who is learning to drive. He is a good and kind person, and is a natural instructor who instills confidence. I recommend him very highly.

Fantastic experience: Shahin is a fantastic teacher because he makes you feel really relaxed and at home behind the wheel. His composure and professionalism rub off on you as a driver. Thoroughly recommend him as he’s a great instructor, but even better man!

Alastair Wong 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Shahin was recommended to me as a driver instructor by a friend who had passed her driving test on her first attempt. I had also passed mine on my first attempt; and since then and over the years, I had recommended Shahin to a couple more friends who also managed to achieve the same. Shahin is an excellent driving instructor and is very patient and calm with his students and is great at explaining in ways that help his students learn. I strongly recommend Shahin to anyone hoping to learn to drive!

Fantastic experience: Shah is a wonderful driving instructor, calm, patient and very supportive. I had full confidence in Shah from our very first lesson. With Shah’s guidance and support i passed my driving test first time, he made an otherwise daunting process understandable and really enjoyable. I would highly recommend Shah to anyone looking to pass their driving test no matter your driving experience. Thanks Shah!

Alice mcmahon-Major 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Shahin is a brilliant driving instructor who is calm and patient. I was quite nervous getting into a car as I was a late learner and he really built my confidence up and made me feel safe and in control. Since passing my test I’ve also been back to him a few times for top up lessons when I’ve had a long time in between driving and I always leave feeling confident and happy to drive again.

Harriet Salmon 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t have asked for a better driving teacher! Shahin is incredibly calm and encouraging and learning to drive with him was hassle free. I also passed first time, woo!

Kim Haslam 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Shahin taught me to drive after a bad experience with another driving school that left me quite nervous about getting behind the wheel again. Shahin is a truly great teacher - he didn’t rush me at all as I got comfortable with driving again, and he has a great skill in teaching driving in a really intuitive way. His pacing, calmness & structure of the lessons was exactly what I needed. It’s not an exaggeration to say he’s the best teacher I could’ve hoped for. I passed my test but more importantly actually learned to be a good driver & feel confident in my skills. Highest recommendations.

Fantastic experience: Shahin taught me to drive last year and was a really great teacher. I was quite a nervous driver having had a car accident before but he was very calming. I passed first time with one minor. Would recommend him highly
