I cannot recommend Farhan enough as a driving instructor. As a new driver in the UK, I was a bit nervous about learning to drive on the left side of the road and navigating unfamiliar rules. Farhan was incredibly patient, clear, and thorough in his teaching. He taught me everything I needed to know, not just to pass the test, but to be a safe and confident driver. Thanks to his excellent instruction, I passed my driving test on the very first attempt, with minimal minors. If you're looking for a driving instructor who is knowledgeable, supportive, and truly dedicated to getting you test-ready, Farhan is your guy.

Farhan was a great instructor! I just moved to the UK, and he was flexible, patient, and thorough. I used his hourly services. He started in a quiet area and gradually built my confidence with turns, roundabouts, and busier streets. I really appreciated how he’d pull over to explain mistakes and walk through scenarios using a handy driving rules workbook. I was familiar with a US seat positions and Manual transmissions, but he also went over the vehicle difference and i was driving in no time. Highly recommend!
