A1 Driving Academy Derby

I had an excellent experience learning to drive with Babzi. He is patient, professional, and explains everything clearly, which made every lesson enjoyable and stress-free. His calm and encouraging approach helped me build confidence behind the wheel and improve my driving skills with every lesson. Thanks to Babzi's outstanding guidance and teaching, I passed my driving test with zero minor faults, which is something I'm very proud of. I couldn't have achieved this without his support and expert instruction. I highly recommend Babzi to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and reliable driving instructor. Thank you so much, Babzi!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After a bad experience with another driving school, I was really lucky to find Babzi. From the very first lesson, I could tell the difference. He's disciplined, straight to the point, and makes every minute of the lesson count. There's no unnecessary fluff—he focuses on building good driving habits and making sure you understand exactly what needs improving, especially dealing with complex roundabout, junctions and high-speed crossroads or hazards. From day one, he made sure I had full control of the car, and with every lesson my confidence grew. I genuinely felt like I was making progress every single time I got behind the wheel. What I appreciated most was that he doesn't just teach you how to pass the test; he teaches you how to become a safe and confident driver for life. On top of that, he's a genuinely cheerful and funny person. He knows when to crack a joke to help you relax, which makes the lessons enjoyable without taking the focus away from learning. I can't recommend Babzi highly enough. If you're looking for an instructor who's professional, patient, and truly invested in helping you succeed, he's the one to go with.

He was patient, took the time to teach me all the manoeuvres properly, and helped me build my confidence behind the wheel. I’m really grateful for all the effort and hard work he put into helping me learn, and I can’t thank him enough.
