Sunny was incredibly patient, professional, and supportive. He helped me build my confidence and prepared me well for my driving test by taking me around the Tottenham test routes. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my driving test first time. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and encouraging driving instructor.

I hadn't driven for 12 years before my refresher lesson with Sunny and he put me at ease straight away. He was incredibly helpful and I regained a lot of confidence in a short time. Would highly recommend for anyone who has not driven for a while.

Sunny is a vastly experienced instructor with excellent attention to detail. Nothing escapes his keen eye, and I absolutely became a better driver because of his guidance. I have been driving for a long time but just getting my license in the UK. He prepared me well for the test and I passed first time.

I had driving lessons with Sunny and honestly couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He’s a fantastic instructor. He’s calm, patient, and very clear in the way he explains everything. Having previously driven only on the right side of the road, I was quite nervous about adjusting to driving on the left, but Sunny made me feel completely confident and comfortable with the change. Thanks to his excellent teaching, my driving improved well beyond the standard needed for the test, and I passed first time. He was also incredibly understanding and accommodating when I had to reschedule some lessons due to an injury, which I really appreciated. If you’re looking for a professional, supportive, and genuinely caring instructor who helps you feel confident on the road, Sunny is the one to go with!

I passed first time in Wanstead thanks to Sunny! After struggling with my previous instructor, I switched to Sunny, and it was the best decision I made. He gave me an honest assessment of where I was and a clear plan to get back on track. His patience, kindness, and deep knowledge of the local test routes made all the difference. If you want a top-notch instructor who truly knows his stuff, look no further. Thanks again, Sunny!

I had a 2-hour refresher lesson with Sunny after I recently bought my first car, having had my licence for years but never driving much. I can’t recommend Sunny enough, he quickly understood exactly where my issues were and targeted the lesson so that I could get the most out of the 2 hours. The next day after my lesson I was able to drive by myself and I’m no longer stressed about just hopping into the car and going places! I had to wait a few weeks for my lesson but it was well worth the wait 🙏

Very good experience with London City driving School, as I passed my test with only a minor driving fault! Sunny was really professional, throughout our lessons he integrated my feedback when I raised that I would learn better if he’d voiced issues differently, and provided me with both positive and constructive feedback that helped me become better quickly. He is a very good instructor that I can’t recommend enough. All in all really impressed!
