Oxford Driving Lessons LDA (Local Driving Academy)

I had lessons with Sami for a while, and he is an excellent driving instructor. I would highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive. He was especially supportive whenever I felt anxious or stressed, always remaining calm, patient, and encouraging. His communication was very clear, which made it easy to understand everything and helped me learn quickly. Sami created a comfortable and professional learning environment where I always felt at ease and confident behind the wheel. Thanks to his excellent teaching, I was able to pass my driving test first time. I’m very grateful for all his help and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic driving instructor.

I had an excellent experience with DLA Driving School and instructor Aziza. She explained things simply and clearly, making everything easy to understand. She provided valuable information and great tips, and she was thoroughly familiar with all the different test routes. Thanks to her patience and expertise, I passed the test with only two minor errors. (Thank you, Aziza, and thank you to the DLA. I highly recommend DLA Driving School and instructor Aziza; she is encouraging and professional, and she focused on making me a confident driver committed to safety rules.

I passed my driving test today, and I couldn’t have done it without Miss Sara. I only took 6 hours of lessons with her, and she quickly identified the areas I needed to improve. Her teaching style is calm, patient, and incredibly effective. Every lesson was well-structured and gave me more confidence behind the wheel. Thank you so much, Miss Sara, for all your guidance and support. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and knowledgeable driving instructor!

I Would describe LDA as the most prominent driving school in Oxford, and in my opinion the most popular. This is for good reason. I was driving with Parveen, an amazing driving instructor! She's able to get knowledge across in a calm and relaxed way, as well as break down complicated information into more digestible bits. She doesn't let info-overload bog you down! Her style is more practical as opposed to theory (Which suits me best). So if you prefer to drive and go straight into it? Go for her. She's also a great conversationalist, very bubbly and funny - able to break the ice in any situation! Additionally, She knows how to teach people that are on the neurodiversity spectrum. That, in my view, makes her an incredibly skilled instructor. LDA also have their own YouTube channel with guides and resources too so it's something to look into if you wanna do self-set homework. All in all, I absolutely recommend LDA, especially Parveen!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best driving instructor, especially for those who feel anxious: Banar Authman! I believe that behind every success in life, proper knowledge and guidance play the most crucial role. It is impossible to gain confidence without the right education. When I first started learning to drive, I was incredibly inexperienced and nervous. However, my wonderful instructor at (Local Driving Academy) Oxford- LDA.Banar Authman, completely took that fear away. Her teaching style is extremely calm, reassuring, and gentle, which easily builds a learner's confidence. She never got frustrated when I made mistakes; instead, she broke everything down into simple steps until I understood. Thanks to her amazing guidance, I passed my automatic driving test on my second attempt on 29 June 2026 with total confidence! I am deeply grateful to my instructor, Banar Authman. Alongside her, I would like to say a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart to Khadija Mubarak. Her brilliant support, proper guidance, and positive encouragement at every step gave me so much courage. This journey would not have been this smooth without her wonderful help. For anyone looking to learn to drive, I highly recommend both of them equally. Finally, I express my countless thanks and gratitude to Almighty Allah, by whose endless grace I have achieved this success today. I am now extremely happy and relieved. A massive thank you to Oxford Driving Academy -LDA, along with Banar Authman, for this wonderful experience.

I highly recommend my driving instructor Sarah! I passed my driving test on my first attempt thanks to her hard work, patience, and excellent teaching. She was always supportive, explained everything clearly, and helped me build my confidence behind the wheel. Thank you so much for all your effort, encouragement, and dedication. I really appreciate everything you have done to help me achieve this.

Passed my driving test on the first attempt thanks to Sami from DLA Oxford. He is professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping his students succeed. He was sometimes strict, but that helped me eliminate bad driving habits and become a safer, more confident driver. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality driving lessons in Oxford. Thank you, Sami!
