What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Booking around a tight deadline features strongly in feedback about this Somerville Road school, with accounts of pupils taken on just days before their test and still passing with a confident, well-prepared drive. Instructors named across the reviews, including Sobia, Samad, Umar, Nasirul, Ripon Sikdar, Nosheen, Salma and Arafat, are consistently described as patient and encouraging, explaining weak points clearly and structuring lessons so that confidence builds steadily.

Test centres including Garretts Green and Shirley are mentioned by pupils who passed on their first attempt, several noting minimal or zero driving faults on the day. A point raised repeatedly is instructors adapting their approach to nervous or first-time learners, with some describing the support offered as going beyond the purely practical side of tuition. Clear explanations of manoeuvres and focused, well-planned lessons rather than unstructured driving are also credited by multiple reviewers for their steady progress.

Several accounts describe feeling genuinely ready on test day after a course of organised sessions rather than last-minute cramming. Lessons can be arranged across the full week, with the school open every day from nine in the morning until nine at night, giving pupils in the Birmingham area scope to fit tuition around college, work or other commitments while learning close to the Garretts Green area.

I highly recommend my driving instructor named Md. Samad. He was patient, professional, and supportive throughout my learning journey. Every lesson was well planned, and they explained everything clearly, which helped me build confidence. He always encouraged me to improve and made me feel comfortable, even when I made mistakes. Thanks to their excellent teaching, I passed my driving test today. I truly appreciate all the time, effort, and encouragement he gave me. If you're looking for a reliable and knowledgeable driving instructor, I would definitely recommend him.

I made the right choice in choosing RSM. The instructor was very professional. Special thanks to Umar for being such an excellent instructor. He taught me everything I needed to know to become a safe, confident, and responsible driver. Thank you so much for your patience, guidance, and support throughout my learning journey. I’m so happy to say that I passed my driving test on my first try! I couldn’t have done it without your excellent teaching. Highly recommended!

Professional Driving Instructor Review I recently had the pleasure of learning to drive with Sanya Ahmed, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Sanya is an exceptionally experienced and qualified instructor who helped me pass my driving test with flying colors—finishing with just two minor faults. If you are looking to pass your test efficiently and build true driving confidence, Sanya is the ideal instructor. She is exceptionally student-friendly, taking the time to understand your individual learning pace. Her patience, diligence, and flexibility with scheduling made the entire process seamless. Furthermore, she maintains honest, transparent communication about your driving skills and test preparedness every step of the way. An outstanding instructor for learners at any stage!

I recently passed my driving test, and I cannot recommend my instructor, Nosheen, enough. From my very first lesson, she was incredibly kind, patient, and supportive. She made me feel like I was being taught by a big sister rather than just a driving instructor. No matter how many times I needed something explained, she would patiently go over it again until I fully understood and felt confident. I thank God for Nosheen. She is an amazing instructor and played a huge part in my success. Passing my driving test would not have been the same without her guidance, patience, and belief in me. She is truly the best, and I will always be grateful for everything she did for me.

I passed first time on Thursday (02/07/26) at kingstanding!🎉 I want to say a huge thank you to my instructor Imran(Honda jazz) He taught me from scratch, he has always been very supportive & patient on all my lessons, i always looked forward to my lessons as we always had a good laugh which helped me relax. He made my learning very enjoyable. I’m a little sad that my lessons have ended but I’m very excited for the journey ahead. I couldn't have done it without your endless patience and guidance. Thank you so much for helping me pass!! I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a professional and supportive driving instructor.

I am absolutely delighted to have passed my driving test on my first attempt. After giving up three times before, I never thought I would achieve it, but Azra Zatoon from RSM Driving School believed in me from the very beginning, even when I didn't believe in myself. I met her in mid-April, and after just three lessons, she was confident enough to book my practical test because she knew I was ready. Her patience, professionalism, excellent advice, and constant encouragement helped me build my confidence and improve my driving skills. Thanks to her outstanding teaching, I passed first time, and I highly recommend Azra and RSM Driving School to anyone looking to pass their driving test with confidence.

Passed first time. Thank you so much my lovely instructor Ruksana for all your patience, guidance and encouragement. I couldn’t have done it without you. Your belief in me made all the difference, especially when I was doubting myself. Thank you for everything. I’ll definitely be recommending you to anyone who asks!”
