What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Booking around demanding schedules appears to work well at this Peterborough-based provider, which offers intensive and automatic courses with hours running into late evening throughout the week, including Sundays. Instructor Zaf Karim is named repeatedly, with a calm and patient manner credited for putting anxious pupils at ease and allowing manoeuvres to be repeated without frustration until they are properly understood.

Clear explanations and constructive feedback come up often, alongside a structured approach where each session builds towards test readiness rather than feeling rushed. A number of accounts describe passing on the first attempt, including a seventeen-year-old whose parents praised steady motivation and a professional style throughout her training. Support has also extended beyond the car itself, with mentions of help arranging a revised test date and guidance on choosing a car once a pass had been secured.

Encouragement and a relaxed, light-hearted atmosphere during lessons are noted frequently as easing stress, particularly for adults who had previously lost confidence with other instructors. The recurring theme across these accounts is one of steady reassurance, whether for complete beginners or those starting again after setbacks elsewhere, with lesson slots available most days including Saturdays until half past ten in the evening.

I just passed my driving test this afternoon and I’m so happy! I just want to say a big thank you to my instructor Zafer, a very kind a compassionate man. I had 2 instructors in the past and all they did was take my money and destroy all my self confidence. The very first time I spoke to Zafer he was so friendly and optimistic, he filled me with so much hope. I started driving lessons with him and in less than 3 months he got me ready for my test. He has been my greatest support, always had a kind word for me. He made me believe I was good enough to pass. When he picked me up this morning, I was so nervous but he kept encouraging me and finally I made it. Thank you so much Zafer, you are one of the best human beings I’ve met. I am going to miss u terribly. May God bless and protect you always!

I just passed my driving test and I couldn’t have done it without my amazing instructor, Zaf! When I first started learning to drive, I was honestly very scared and had no confidence at all. Driving felt really intimidating to me. Zaf helped me a lot throughout the whole journey. Zaf was incredibly patient, calm, and supportive, and always took the time to explain everything clearly. Whenever I felt nervous or unsure, Zaf reassured me and helped build my confidence step by step. Thanks to Zaf’s guidance and encouragement, I was able to overcome my fear and become more confident behind the wheel. Passing my driving test felt impossible at the start, but Zaf helped make it happen. I highly recommend Zaf to anyone who feels nervous about learning to drive. Thank you again, Zaf, for all your support and patience!

I passed my driving test today thanks to Zaf, and I couldn’t be more grateful! Zaf is an incredibly patient, calm, and professional instructor. From the very beginning, he made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. He explains everything clearly and gives constructive feedback in a way that really helps you improve without feeling stressed or overwhelmed. If you’re looking for a reliable, supportive, and knowledgeable driving instructor, I highly recommend Zaf. Thank you for helping me pass!

I can’t recommend them enough! I just passed my driving test first time, and I couldn't have done it without them. I was quite a nervous driver to start with, but the instructor was incredibly patient and calm, which helped build my confidence in the short time we've been together. They explain things clearly and never made me feel rushed. If you’re looking for someone who makes learning to drive stress-free, look no further!

Zaf is an amazing instructor and with his guidance and support, I have passed my test today. He has provided me with the confidence that I lost, I can’t thank him enough for this. I would 1000% recommend him to anyone and I will miss having weekly lessons/ catch ups. Thank you again you’ve been amazing.
