I recently passed my manual driving test on the first attempt, and all the credit goes to Mr. Akbar Shah from Connect Driving School. His teaching methods are highly professional, patient, and incredibly effective. He explained every requirement in detail and made sure I understood each aspect of safe and confident driving.

Mr. Shah’s guidance, encouragement, and structured lessons helped me build confidence behind the wheel and prepare thoroughly for the test. Thanks to his excellent instruction, I was able to pass first time without any hassle.

I would highly recommend Connect Driving School and especially Mr. Akbar Shah to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and supportive driving instructor. An outstanding experience from start to finish!

Amazing instructor - highly recommend

Passed my driving test today, and I’m really glad I had Mr Shah as my instructor. I only had a few weeks of lessons with him, but he quickly picked up on what I needed to improve and helped me work on it properly.

He’s calm, straightforward, and gives useful feedback without overcomplicating things. I felt more confident and in control of my driving after each lesson.

Definitely a good instructor if you want clear guidance and steady progress.

Passed my test with my 1st attempt

It was great. Zeba is a great teacher, she helped me a lot to get less stressed when there is a lot of traffic. She also speaks german, that helps me because i‘m from austria and my english is not that good. Really calm teacher, with lots of passion in it. She teaches you everything really good. Passed with the 1st attempt. Thank you!! :)

Zeba was my instructor

I had an excellent experience with Zeba. We completed 6 hours of refresher lessons together, and she covered everything thoroughly, including crossroads, mini roundabouts, big roundabouts, junctions, and parking. Thanks to her clear guidance and structured approach, I now feel much more comfortable and confident on the road. Zeba is calm, patient, and very friendly, which made each lesson enjoyable and stress-free.
It was truly a pleasure learning with her, and I would highly recommend Zeba to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable driving instructor.

I had a great experience learning with… Nadir Shah

I had a great experience learning with Nadir Shah at Connect Driving School. He is very patient, professional, and explains everything clearly, which made a big difference to my confidence on the road. Every lesson was well structured and focused on improving my weaknesses step by step.

What stood out the most was his calm approach and honest feedback. He doesn’t rush you but also makes sure you are fully prepared for the test. His teaching style is straightforward and practical, which helped me understand real driving situations instead of just memorising things.

I would highly recommend Nadir Shah to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor. Great value for money and a genuinely positive learning experience.

Zero

Very unfriendly and rude instructors. Unprofessional company. Had an instructor named Waqar. He told me to meet him at a meeting point for the lesson and I tell him that this is not convenient for me. He then goes on to being rude saying, "He is a driving instructor not a taxi driving, I should go back to my old instructor and then ends it by cancelling the lesson. Avoid!!!
