Excellent teacher

I learnt and passed with Farrukh and was so pleased with the service he provided. He was a great, patient instructor who gave lots of confidence to a nervous driver like myself by believing in me and working together to find the perfect teaching style if I didn't understand a manoeuvre first attempt. Huge thank you for his help, and I'll be returning to do some motorway driving experience.

Exceptional Driving School Experience with Instructor Etty

I recently had the privilege of learning to drive with YDA, and it was an experience worth celebrating. Under the guidance of my instructor, Etty, I found myself not just mastering the mechanics of driving, but also developing a profound sense of confidence behind the wheel.

Etty's professionalism and dedication were evident from the outset. His patience and understanding created a learning environment where I felt comfortable and supported, even during the most challenging maneuvers. He tailored each lesson to my individual needs, ensuring that I progressed at a pace that suited me best.

Today, I'm thrilled to announce that I passed my driving test on the first attempt, a testament to Etty's exceptional instruction. His expertise, coupled with his genuine commitment to my success, truly set him apart from any other instructor I've encountered.

I can wholeheartedly recommend YDA to anyone seeking not only to obtain a driver's license but also to cultivate a lifelong understanding of safe and responsible driving habits. Thank you, Etty, and YDA, for a remarkable journey towards achieving this significant milestone.

Driving Test Passed First Attempt

I recently passed my driving test on the first attempt, thanks to the exceptional instruction I received from Hassan at YDA. His professionalism and wealth of experience made me feel confident and well-prepared for the test. Hassan meticulously guided me through all the test routes, focusing on the nuances of each one, which ultimately resulted in a perfect drive. I highly recommend YDA's services, especially instructor Hassan, for anyone looking for top-notch driving lessons.

Thankyou Hassan

My instructor was Hassan. He is extremely patient and very supportive and a great teacher. I was very anxious and did not think that I'd pass the test but he managed to teach me everything really well. The best thing about him is he covers everything, even the new roads introduced recently. He took me from being an anxious driver to a confident one. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to learn and gain confidence. Thankyou for being the best instructor and for giving me the confidence to drive and for helping me to overcome my nervousness.
I cannot recommend Hassan enough , incredible knowledge and was able to help me through my anxiety and confidence issues right off the bat. Passed in the 2nd attempt with 2 faults!! Excellent instructor and I think he is the best!!!!

Patient and thorough

I had a positive experience with YDA. My instructor was Assma. Her style is how it should be done. Assma plans on what skill/s to be covered for each lesson, she ensures I am confident and satisfied before moving on to the next. She explains verbally and with drawings as necessary. She was patient and so thorough. I'm glad I chose her. I passed my test first time with Assma. I can't thank her enough!

Improved my driving abilities

I had the pleasure of being taught by Mazoomy, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the experience. Although I initially questioned the need for additional driving lessons, Mazoomy's approach to teaching proved to be invaluable, going beyond the basic requirements for passing a test. I recently passed my test with a single minor fault, which was entirely avoidable!

One of Mazoomy's standout qualities is his unwavering emphasis on safety for both the learner and all road users. He doesn't just focus on helping you pass your driving test; he is genuinely dedicated to instilling safe driving habits. While his teaching methods may initially seem deliberate and measured, I soon came to appreciate the comprehensive nature of his approach. It became evident that Mazoomy is not just interested in ticking boxes but in ensuring that his students become confident and responsible drivers.

Despite having a decade of driving experience (in another country), I noticed a significant improvement in my overall driving skills after taking lessons with Mazoomy. I highly recommend him to anyone looking not just to pass a driving test but to become a proficient and responsible driver.

It’s a Pass

I found YDA after a bad experience with another instructor and Hassan my instructor was a breath of fresh air! His teaching techniques and tips made it easy for me to learn despite my busy schedule. I managed to get my driving license with just two minors, thanks to Hassan! Thank you YDA and Hassan for all your help!

SABINA INSTRUCTOR - THE BEST

FIRST TIME PASS****

SABINA made me feel so relaxed i probly asked her about 50 questions everyday for 2 weeks but she responded so quickly and drew diagrams to really help me . She never made me feel uneasy however made me feel valued with my learning disability (dyslexia)

SABINAS support i can hand on heart say that no other instructor would do the amount SHE DOES … before the test SHE made me feel so relaxed.. she knew what would make me feel relaxed and put on religious prayer for me.
Which really helped me focus and she just made me prepare the besst i could SABINAAAA WE DID IT!!!!!!

Im lost for words but all i can say is she should be so proud because its HER whos taught me how to plan ahead and as the examiner said “commentry” was 10/10.

SABINA is like no ordinary instructor she goes over and beyond for her students and makes them a priority.

ThankYOU A MILLION

So happy I had positive experience with YDA. My driving instructor Shyam Rana was the best teacher and supporter throughout my whole learning journey! He has so much experience under his belt and helped me to gain the confidence and knowledge I needed to pass my practical test! You always have listened and understood me and always picked me up when I was struggling with my nerves. I can not recommend him enough, I wish I could give you more than 5 stars!!
