Drive Time Academy

Fantastic experience: Just finished my lessons with the Drive Time academy with a first time pass.Brilliant instructor, always made sure you felt comfortable and fully understood what you did behind the wheel. I do believe an instructor builds your driving journey - all lessons were accommodated to my weaknesses and strengths and he had no problem going over areas multiple times. Literally no complaints from the minute I joined from a different instructor, he was happy to assess me and even accommodate to my already booked test. Massive thank you to the team and especially Shaid.

Fantastic experience: I first heard about him from a colleague who had a great experience, and I’m so glad I chose him too. He’s an excellent teacher — patient, supportive, and very knowledgeable. He guided me through the whole process and helped me build confidence. Thanks to his teaching, I passed on my first attempt! I’m very grateful and highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful. Passed first time because of him even though I had dyslexia so he’s very experienced.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed my driving lessons with Drive Time Academy, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the overall experience. From the moment I signed up, I felt welcomed and supported throughout the entire process. The standout feature of my experience was undoubtedly the instructor. They were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and professional. They took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I understood each maneuver before trying it out. Their calm demeanor and positive attitude created an stress-free learning environment, which made me feel confident behind the wheel even as a first-time driver. The lessons were well-structured, with a perfect balance of theory and practice. He was always on time, and the car was comfortable and easy to handle. I also appreciated that they customized the lessons based on my individual progress and needs, if u want to pass first time and get the best help and guidance I highly recommend Drive Time Academy.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been learning to drive with Shaid for a few months now and I have been extremely impressed with the quality of lessons drivetime academy provide, whilst still remaining enjoyable and calm. Shaid helped me to pass with 0 minors which is testament to his incredible teaching.

Thank you for all the help you have given me and for all the laughs we had during our lesson :)
