SDS Driving School

I have had an amazing experience having my driving lessons with my instructor Raj, who works with the SDS Driving School because he had taught me everything that I needed to know, in order to pass my driving test in terms of knowing when to speed up, slow down, switch lanes and letting cars go past first when they are coming to approach you.

He had also told me to take my time when I was driving because you have to plan and anticipate what is going to happen ahead, so going at the right speed will help you to control and see what is happening, instead of going at a faster speed.

Raj was a lovely instructor

Raj was a lovely instructor, always made sure I had full understanding and didn’t hesitate to repeat himself if I was unsure. After failing previously with another instructor, he identified my weak points and worked on them with me. He’s most patient and reassuring and never had any doubts about me passing. Which is something I wouldn’t have been able to do without him. I couldn’t recommend him more.

Raj is an outstanding driving…

Raj is an outstanding driving instructor. He didn’t just teach me how to pass my test — he taught me how to be a confident, safe, and responsible driver. His patience, clear explanations, and calm approach made every lesson enjoyable and stress-free. He genuinely cares about his students and goes above and beyond to make sure you understand not only what to do, but why you’re doing it.
Thanks to Raj, I passed my test and feel truly prepared for real-world driving. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

My instructor was Hamida!

My instructor was Hamida!! The absolute BESTTT!!!
She was so patient! So kind! So sweet! So positive! Very friendly! She made every lesson feel like home! I was literally looking forward to every Saturday and Sunday just to hang out with her!

At a point, every lesson felt like a car ride with my cautious bestie! Hamida is God sent! I passed today at Kingstanding and my heart is so full! SDS is the best driving school and Hamida is THE BEST INSTRUCTOR! She’s a 10/10 minus NOTHING!!!

Her car is also excellent for driving tests. She keeps the car very neat and tidy! She’s so understanding!!! Argh I love her sooooo much

Book SDS! Ask for Hamida! You will definitely get a pass with her! She’s the besttttttttt!!!!😭❤️

I passed my driving test first time…

I passed my driving test first time today. I am entirely grateful to Mahjid who I have had as my instructor these past 3 months. He is absolutely professional, patient and worked very hard with me to fine tune all my weak areas and transforming me into a confident driver on the road.

Great learning experience with Raj

I had a great experience learning to drive with Raj. He was incredibly patient and calm. Thankfully, he has an amazing sense of humour which made me feel more confident and relaxed behind the wheel. He gave constructive feedback and focused on the basics, which helped me improve quickly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone learning to drive!

Today I finally passed my driving test

Today I finally passed my driving test, after 3 years of wasting time with incompetent instructors only interested in making you spend money without the real desire to make you pass the test. I found Gurd, a trained and serious instructor who dedicated all his time to making me improve in driving, he taught me how to park by finding my reference point, which has always been impossible with other instructors. I can never thank him enough for his dedication to me. With just 12 and a half hours of intensive course he taught me everything that other instructors have completely failed at. Thank you very much Gurd. I wish you the best.
Greetings from Elisa your Italian pupil 🇮🇹!

I want to give a big thank you to my instructor Raj! I couldn't have passed (FIRST TIME!!) without him. He has been incredibly supportive from the start, always understanding and explaining everything clearly. Most importantly, he has always believed in me. I couldn't recommend him more!

I had some refresher lessons with Raj…

I had some refresher lessons with Raj last year after over 10 years away from driving. I went from being very unconfident on the roads to making long journeys within a matter of weeks. I can't thank Raj enough for his help and guidance - driving again has been a real game changer. He also started giving lessons to my next door neighbour who quickly passed their test.
