Passed with Shazia!

I passed my driving test, and I couldn't have done it without Shazia! From the very first lesson, she created a supportive and encouraging environment that helped me build my confidence behind the wheel. Shazia wasn't just an instructor; she was like a second mum to me, always looking out for my best interests and providing the guidance I needed. Her teaching style is patient and thorough; she explained everything clearly and made sure I understood the rules of the road. She identified my weaknesses and worked with me to improve them, always providing constructive feedback and positive reinforcement. Shazia is not only a fantastic instructor but also a kind and understanding person. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn how to drive!

I am very pleased to share that I successfully passed my driving test today, and I owe much of this achievement to my instructor. His professionalism, patience, and extensive knowledge made every lesson highly effective and reassuring.

He provided clear, well-structured guidance and always maintained a calm and supportive atmosphere, which greatly helped improve my confidence on the road. His ability to identify areas for improvement and explain techniques in a straightforward manner made the learning process smooth and efficient.

I truly appreciate his dedication, punctuality, and commitment to ensuring I was fully prepared for the test. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled, reliable, and professional driving instructor.

Passed my driving test first time with…

Passed my driving test first time with instructor Nadia. I remember on my very first lesson with her, she was able to recognise my weaknesses behind the wheel and she tailored the sessions to help me improve on those issues and become a better driver. She was very encouraging and so patient, upholding professionalism which always made me at feel at ease during my lessons. Honestly l could not have passed my driving test first time, if it wasn’t for Nadia and her amazing teaching style which will honestly make you the best and safest driver on the road. If you’re looking for the number 1 best instructor who’s gonna no doubt help you improve and be a safe driver, l would highly recommend Nadia.
Very grateful, thankful and very lucky to have had Nadia as my instructor. THANK YOU. Highly recommended.

Passed my driving test on my first attempt

I started learning with absolute no knowledge about driving, in fact I had phobia for driving. When I started my learn to drive mission, I had previously used different instructors(all had no hope on me), until I met Geeth, then all those fears began to fade. Geeth was a very calm teacher, he is soft spoken, impacting knowledge in a friendly way. He created a learning environment where I felt safe to make mistakes and grow. Geeth didn't just teach me the rules of the road; he instilled in me a sense of confidence and responsibility behind the wheels.

Geeth’s unwavering dedication as a driving instructor really set him apart. He went above and beyond to tailor each lesson to my specific needs, ensuring I understood every concept and manoeuvres. His passion for teaching and driving was infectious, turning what seemed like a daunting task into an enjoyable journey.

Today, as I celebrate passing my driving test on my first attempt, I must applaud my instructor(Geeth). I strongly recommend Saif driving school as they are outstanding.

When you know you just know 10/10

I can’t say enough good things about SAIF Driving School, especially my instructor Ifrana. From the very first lesson, she made me feel understood, supported, and truly cared for. Her communication skills are incredible—she explains things in such a clear, patient, and friendly way that I never felt overwhelmed or discouraged.

As someone with learning difficulties, driving was something I was genuinely nervous about. But Ifrana always kept me calm. She never rushed me, never made me feel judged, and always celebrated even my small improvements. Her kindness and steady encouragement gave me the confidence I didn’t think I could have behind the wheel.

What I appreciate most is that she saw me as a person, not just a student. She understood my challenges, worked with my pace, and created a safe environment where I could learn comfortably. Thanks to her, something that once felt impossible now feels achievable.

I’m truly grateful for the patience, positivity, and support she showed me during every lesson. If you’re looking for an instructor who is not only skilled but also genuinely compassionate, Ifrana at SAIF Driving School is the perfect choice.

Thank you Ifrana Bi

Saif driving school is best for new learners, as they have experienced instructor, and Ifrana Bi (she was my instructor) is one of them. Today I finally passed my practical driving test, all thanks to my instructor Ifrana.
She is very patient and supportive, she always encouraged me. I don't think I could pass my driving test without her. I have no words to express my gratitude for her.
I am really thankful to Saif driving school, who provided me such an experienced instructor.
I would recommend Ifrana, to whoever wants learn driving and specially to people who are new in driving as she's very patient and supportive person.
Thank you Ifrana for teaching ne how to drive, I really appreciate your patience, your lessons were very informative, thank you for giving me confidence to drive and for helping me to overcome my nervousness. I really enjoyed learning with you and will miss our lessons.

Bobby is amazing

Passing my driving test has honestly been one of the proudest moments of my life, and I know without a doubt that I wouldn’t have achieved it without Bobby. From the very first lesson, she made me feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported. She has this incredible way of teaching that never feels pressured or stressful she stays patient no matter how many mistakes you make, and she always finds a calm, kind way to explain things so they actually stick.
Bobby doesn’t just teach you how to pass a test; she teaches you how to become a confident, thoughtful, and responsible driver. She notices every small detail, celebrates every little improvement, and never gives up on you even when you doubt yourself. Her encouragement honestly changed everything for me. Every lesson with her felt like learning with someone who genuinely cared about my progress, my confidence, and my wellbeing.

I recently passed my driving test at Garrett’s Green on my first attempt with only 4 minors, thanks to Alam Khan from Saif Driving School. He’s a great instructor — very patient, calm, and explains everything clearly. He also showed me some really useful tips and tricks that made a big difference. Highly recommended!

Today I passed my driving lessons

Today I passed my driving lessons. Due to the continued teaching and support from Geeth. He has helped me every step of the journey, enabling me to be able to drive confidently on my own. I have had no issues communicating with him, and with Saif Driving school support. Definitely recommend!

Complete time waster, arrogant and self-absorbed.

The owner of this company, Mr. Saif, has been one of the most disappointing individuals I’ve ever dealt with. He makes false promises, fails to keep appointments, and ignores calls and messages. Communication with him is virtually impossible.

He carries himself as though he’s above everyone else — arrogant, self-absorbed, and constantly boasting about supposed “connections” and “qualifications” that don’t appear to exist. His main concern seems to be taking your money, not providing genuine training or support.

To make matters worse, he is not ORDIT-registered, meaning he is not authorised to provide professional driving instructor training. Despite this, he presents himself as a qualified professional, which is both misleading and unethical.

If you leave a negative comment or review on Facebook, he will block you from his page, which means no one else can see your feedback or warning. This behaviour shows a complete lack of transparency and accountability.

I wasted four months dealing with him — no progress, no communication, and no professionalism. I would strongly advise others to avoid working with him. He lacks honesty, integrity, and respect for his clients.

In short, he’s a money-driven individual who thrives on self-praise and false claims. Don’t waste your time or money — learn from my experience.

Dear Sami k

This review is entirely false and does not reflect the reality of our business or our professional conduct. The individual posting this has never been a verified client, and we have no record of providing any training or taking any payment from them.

If you can provide genuine proof that any payment was made and that training was not delivered, we will gladly refund the full amount — that is our commitment to fairness and transparency.

Regarding qualifications, it is important to note that currently no one is ORDIT-registered. However, Mr. Saif holds a Grade A qualification and is in the process of obtaining his ORDIT registration. Moreover you don’t need to be an ORDIT instructor to train other instructors. We’ve trained hundreds at our school. This just shows you don’t really understand what ORDIT is—it’s a voluntary course, not a compulsory one. His results and the success of his trainees speak for themselves.

The language and accusations in this review strongly suggest it was written by a competitor or someone attempting to damage our reputation. We continue to focus on delivering quality training and maintaining professionalism in all our dealings.

We wish you well and hope you find peace in moving forward positively.
