Smart Driving Academy (SDA)

Great lesson! Helped me gain confidence for my first long solo drive after passing, and even helped me plan my route. Great teaching for crossroads too! Highly reccomend a super patient and competent teacher really built my confidence thank you very much!!!

Hafiz is a brilliant driving instructor. He is patient, attentive and clear, and is very good at explaining things. He is always happy to answer questions and always wants to help his students in any way that he can. I would definitely recommend Hafiz.

I can't recommend my driving instructor Hafiez highly enough. Over the last 3½ months, he has been incredibly patient, calm, and supportive throughout my lessons. He explained everything clearly, built my confidence step by step, and always made me feel comfortable, even when I made mistakes. He was reliable, professional, and genuinely wanted me to succeed. His teaching style helped me develop safe driving habits rather than just preparing me to pass a test. If you're looking for an instructor who is knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Thank you for all your help and guidance over the last few months! Overall, a fantastic instructor — 5/5 ⭐️

Had 5 lessons with my driving instructor, couldn’t recommend him more he explains things so well and makes sure to always make conversation to make it a comfortable experience!!

Hafiz is a gifted teacher. I am 45 years old. I have been driving for 30 years, mainly in the US. We recently moved to the UK. I originally started with him for the sole purpose of passing a driving test. So far, I think I am well on track to do so. But I have noticed a marked improvement in my driving ability, especially in complex city driving. My observation skills improved dramatically. I feel safer and more confident when driving. Maybe now my wife will feel comfortable letting me drive 😂.

My driving instructor has been fenomenal, he’s very patient and clearly knows how to teach. I feel I am quickly progressing with him, however, more importantly when I feel I have forgotten certain things my instructor knows how to start the lesson off with a warm up which makes the driving experience smoother and more enjoyable.

had some very progressive lessons with Hafiz, an excellent teacher and very good at installing confidence while not forgetting the details! great availability and good for intensive learning. Update! Passed first time, cannot recommend Hafiz enough!
