Martin Andreev is a great instructor
Martin Andreev is a great instructor. His explanations are always clear and easy to understand, which really helped me to improve quickly. One thing I really appreciated was how calm and supportive he was during any mistakes I made - these were turned into learning opportunities. I highly recommend Martin as an instructor.

Adnan was a fantastic instructor who got me to pass my test after only a few lessons with him! A last minute slot opened up at a test centre I’d never been to, and he got me ready in no time at all. Highly recommend!
I had shahida for my driving lessons…
I had shahida for my driving lessons and she was amazing always felt comfortable with her she always helped me improve by working on the things I struggled with she is very understanding would highly recommend her
I couldn't recommend Lubna more
I couldn't recommend Lubna more. I came to her as probably the most anxious driver. I couldn't even do 20miles per hour and could barely hold the wheel straight. Lubna really made driving feel safe and enjoyable. She will never fail to correct you, and teach you everything you need to know - even to the tiniest details. Lubna believed in me like no one else did and in the end I actually believed I could do it and I did. I passed the first time with ZERO faults!! If you are scared of driving, lazy to start, whatever it might be, GO TO LUBNA! She will teach you, push you, and guide you all while being caring and funny. Thank you Lubna for everything <3
Arfan is an amazing instructor
Arfan is an amazing instructor. With the one lesson I had with him he made sure to set his priorities straight - to just get me to pass quickly which I did within 2 weeks I managed to pass with 0 minors. Couldn’t recommend enough!
I had driving instructor Naimatullah…
I had driving instructor Naimatullah Hamid and I passed first time with only 1 minor. He was my second instructor and I felt a lot of improvement with his lesson very quickly. Very good and nice instructor, definitely try to book with him for automatic driving.
Highly recommend Mamona at WDS!
I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Mamona at Wimbledon Driving School. I managed to pass first time with only a few minor faults after just 5 months of lessons, which really says a lot about the quality of teaching.
Mamona is patient, professional, and incredibly supportive. She explains everything clearly and makes you feel comfortable behind the wheel, even if you’re nervous at the start. Each lesson was well-structured and focused on building both confidence and safe driving habits.
I highly recommend Mamona to anyone looking for a reliable and encouraging driving instructor. Thank you for helping me pass first time!
Adhan was very very helpful and…
Adhan was very very helpful and attentive. He helped me a lot with my confidence and my driving skills.
Lubna is an amazing teacher
Lubna is an amazing teacher. I came to her as my second instructor feeling really anxious and quite frustrated with myself. From the start, she was calm and reassuring, always reminding me to take things one step at a time. She’s incredibly attentive and patient, and she takes the time to properly explain everything without rushing. I really appreciate how much she believed in me even on days when my lessons didn’t go well, she never let me feel overwhelmed. She would always check in, ask if I needed a break, or suggest coming back to something later if it wasn’t working. Her support, and encouragement made such a difference, and because of her, I passed first time with five minors. I’m really grateful for everything she’s done for me.
Lubna - A Great Driving Instructor
I had Lubna as my driving instructor and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough! From the very first lesson she was very clear and insightful with her guidance and knowledge, and that carried on throughout my experience with her. The lessons were very structured and had clearly been thought out beforehand.
The lessons close to my test were tailored towards my needs and areas that I needed to focus on (especially hill starts!). I benefited a lot from these tailored sessions and, as a result I passed first time with only 1 minor, all thanks to Lubna!
Aside from being a great driving instructor, she is also a great person, and we spent many a lesson laughing and listening to me moan!
Thanks Lubna, it’s been a great experience and I look forward to the motorway course.
Shakeel - top instructor
Passed first time round with the calm, precise and generally excellent instructor Shakeel. Cant recommend highly enough!
First time pass with Gershon
I passed my test on my first attempt, all thanks to my instructor Gershon. He is a great teacher and a great guy. The lessons were very well thought out and he is a calm and patient teacher who provides great advice. I highly recommend him and Wimbledon Driving School!
First time pass with Bashir
I had a great experience with my Bashir Nasir. He’s a very good instructor: patient, clear and really helped build my confidence behind the wheel. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my test first time. I’d highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.
Not great for nervous first time drivers...
Had two instructors from Wimbledon Driving School. First was shouting at me from the word go and had me in tears halfway through my second lesson despite me telling both Wimbledon Driving School and the instructor that I was incredibly nervous and hadn't learnt to drive yet (I am over 35) because of anxiety. Second had me driving places I wasn't prepared for with no real teaching involved.
Not a good start for someone very nervous. Found someone independent and they have been 100% better. Understanding, tailored the lessons to me and I actually enjoyed a lesson with them.
Wimbledon Driving School almost put me off driving before I even started. I also personally feel 2 hours is too much - 90 minutes suits me much better.
A Grade Rob Russel
I highly recommend A grade driving instructor Rob Russel
He is the best of the best
Everything he explains is clear and easy to get the hang of
Learning from him as been a great experience and I wouldn’t be the driver I am today without him
Couple lessons with him and before you know it , you know everything
I can’t recommend anyone better
And overall he’s just such a great guy
If you want to become the best driver you can I suggest Rob Russel
Arfan Sheikh is the best instructor and I passed 1st time
Arfan Sheikh was a wonderful instructor and I passed 1st time!
When I booked the first lesson, we had less than 1 month until my test. After the first lesson, he told me to reschedule my test so we could have more time to prepare, because he wanted me to pass 1st time. I tried to reschedule it, but couldn’t find any available slots in the following months. So I told him we would work hard and try it. We did work very hard and I passed first time! I couldn’t have done it without his support, he keeps a very high bar and in the end I found the test easier than our lessons! Thank you Arfan!!!
Passed First Time! With Arfan Sheikh
I started my lessons with Arfan Sheikh of Wimbledon Driving School after my previous instructor had to cancel all sessions. I feel so lucky to have found him! His calm, clear, and concise teaching style really helped me as a nervous driver, and I was able to pass my test first time with only a single minor – and it was the one Arfan had warned me about!
Arfan was always flexible with lesson timings and welcomed me with a smile every time, which made learning so much more comfortable. He thoroughly explained everything I needed to know ahead of the test, and I truly believe those last few lessons made all the difference.
If you’re looking for a reliable, calm, and friendly instructor, I can’t recommend Arfan Sheikh highly enough. Thank you so much for all your support!
Adnan is an excellent instructor
Adnan is an excellent instructor, I passed on my first go because of him.
He taught me how to drive safely in every situation, was patient with my mistakes, very friendly too!
I had a wonderful experience with him and will recommend him to my friends that need to pass their tests.
Recommendation - Rif Rehman
I recommend Rif Rehman as a driving instructor - he is a highly professional teacher who is calm and flexible in his teaching methods. I appreciate his patient attitude and am confident I will pass my driving test under his tutelage.
Bruno is awful
What a terrible experience with driving instructor Bruno. My best advice would be to absolutely stay away from him. I was sworn at countless times an hour and undermined, with each mistake being met with a sigh and rude remark. I was further belittled and told highly inappropriate stories. I am all for constructive criticism, but this is not the way that he teaches by any means. I would advise to not put yourself through this when you could get a perfectly professional instructor elsewhere.
