What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Prospective drivers who had spent years avoiding lessons, alongside complete beginners and older learners, form the customer base that York Driving School LTD serves, and their accounts consistently highlight patient, structured tuition that turns anxiety into test-ready confidence. Abdulkarim appears most frequently in feedback, with customers commending his polite and professional manner, his ability to tailor lessons around demanding work schedules, and the gentle firmness that pushed hesitant learners to improve. Graham is also singled out for straightforward instruction that helped older beginners overcome long-held fears.

A recurring theme is the careful focus on weaker areas while keeping existing skills sharp, and automatic transmission lessons are noted as particularly suited to those starting from scratch. Reviews regularly refer to punctuality, clear explanations and the absence of pressure, with several passing on their first attempt with few minor faults. What emerges is a picture of instructors who treat each pupil's progress as their utmost priority, adapting their methods so that learners not only meet test standards but also drive safely and confidently afterwards.

Highly recommend Abdulkarim for automatic lessons! I was a complete beginner and I could not have asked for a better instructor. I was a nervous driver and got quite anxious when I saw heavy traffic on the road. Nevertheless, Abdul was very patient and helped me overcome my fears. His lessons were tailored to helping me improve and focused on my weaker areas. I am now a confident driver and the icing on the cake was when I passed my test on my first attempt! Many thanks to Abdul for his fantastic teaching!

Passed first time with Graham after years of putting off lessons. I started out a VERY nervous driver, but went into the test feeling confident in myself and my driving - and the results show it. Would strongly recommend lessons with Graham and York Driving School!

Passed my test on the first attempt with Abdulkarim from York Driving School. Abdul is an excellent instructor who takes his time to ensure that you are not only pass ready, but also prepared to get on the road as a genuinely safe and aware driver. Abdul is a professional who treats your learning as his utmost priority. He was very flexible and accommodating with his time to make sure that I got the hours needed before my test. He always comes ready with a lesson plan and a contingency for when circumstances change for whatever reason. Overall, I was delighted with my experience and cannot recommend Abdul enough.

I’m an older learner, who had built up an anxiety about driving. I was so lucky to have found Graham. With his clear and straightforward instruction, he built my confidence and patiently helped me to develop my skills, at a pace that suited me. His encouragement and positivity allowed me to overcome my fears, and I passed my test first time! I never thought that it would be possible given how much I was dreading driving, but I really enjoyed my driving lessons with Graham! Thank you so much!

I passed my driving test yesterday and couldn’t recommend york driving school highly enough. Graham is a fantastic instructor, patient, friendly, professional, and always encouraging. The clear explanations, structured lessons, and ability to build my confidence behind the wheel made learning to drive such an enjoyable experience! Thanks to the excellent teaching and support, I was fully prepared for my test and was able to pass. I would highly recommend Graham to anyone looking for a driving instructor.

I am so grateful to have had Abdulkarim as my driving instructor. He was very patient, informative, professional and kind. His driving techniques are very helpful and he focuses on what you need help with most, while ensuring that the skills you have stay sharp.I wouldn't have passed today without him as my instructor. I highly recommend working with him if you are learning how to drive or even to just make sure that you are test ready.

I honestly don’t think I would have passed my driving test today if it wasn’t for Abdulkarim. He is an amazing instructor — very kind, patient, and understanding. He really focuses on helping you improve in the areas you’re most worried about and makes sure you feel confident behind the wheel. He went out of his way to fit me in before my test and made sure I felt 100% prepared. What I appreciated most is that he doesn’t just teach you how to pass the test — he prepares you for real driving afterwards as well. I really appreciated how dedicated he is, even sacrificing his own time to help me get ready. That level of commitment is rare. I’m so grateful for all his help and would highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive!
