DRIVE BUDDI Reviews 

I’ve tried 6 instructors but John was the only one who truly believed in me, I did not have an easy journey I failed 4 times due to bad anxiety but passed today! Having someone who continuously encourages you and doesn’t dim your light for failing was so important during my journey and I’m forever grateful and also he doesn’t charge extortionate prices for lessons or test day “fees”.

Great and honest instructor has a lot of patience also makes you feel confident

I have been with Drive Buddi since March and today I passed my test:)) DB has been professional and I was assigned with a great coach Abdu. Thank you again for the support.

I had the pleasure of learning how to drive with Mick, an absolutely fantastic driving instructor, keeps calm under pressure, always makes you feel comfortable and was great at teaching every aspect of how to drive safely and ace that final driving test. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants to learn how to drive on the roads.

I had great support from my driving instructor , John !!!

My working time schedule was extremely busy and I had spoken to him regarding this and he found a solution for me to solve the problem. My driving lessons were at 7am and we used to finish at 8:30am so I could start work at 9am. Therefore he has played a huge part in me being able to get my drivers license. He was also very patient while teaching me and was able to provide great explanation for anything I needed to know. Thank you so much

I had Micheal and had amazing advice and guidance from him and passed first time would recommend

I passed today with Abdellatif, he was a great instructor that was calm, supportive and patient in my journey of learning to drive. Greatly recommended

Great lessons with Harshali!

I had the pleasure of learning to drive with SADAF. She is very kind, patient, and encouraging. She always motivated me and never gave up on me, even when things were difficult. I really admire her dedication—during the final week before my test, even though she was not feeling well, she still gave her best and supported me until I passed my practical driving test on 16 August 2025. Thanks to her guidance, I now have my license. She is a humble, caring, and passionate instructor. I highly recommend SADAF to anyone who is looking for an excellent driving instructor.

I am so thankful to my instructor that helped me get where I am passed first time 0 faults thank you I highly recommend harshali from drive Buddi she is absolutely amazing she is genuine and is very supportive

Mohammed was my fourth driving instructor and definitely the best. He explained everything clearly and in detail, which really boosted my confidence and helped me stay relaxed during the test. He even took me to all the important parts of the test centre routes — the exact ones that came up in my exam — and made sure I knew how to handle them. He taught me things like roundabouts, which I had never managed to learn properly before, in such an easy and practical way. I’m truly grateful to him because I wouldn’t have been able to pass my driving test without his help.
I highly recommend taking lessons with MO — you can be sure you’ll pass!

I passed my driving test with Drive Buddi, but my overall experience was mixed — hence the 3-star rating. After failing my first test, my original instructor (Dawood) ignored me for over 5 weeks, which felt unprofessional and seemed to be due to the failed test. I also wasn’t taken around the full range of test routes, and at times the conversations during lessons felt inappropriate and uncomfortable. Thankfully, I was reallocated to John, who made a huge difference. He was professional, supportive, and created a relaxed and confidence-boosting learning environment. With his help, I passed my second test. Big thanks to John for turning the experience around!

I passed my test today with only 4 minors. I had John as my instructor, he was knowledgeable and helped me build the skills I needed to pass.
he was also supportive when it mattered and gave me the push I needed to improve. I’ve recommended him to a friend because I believe he’ll help them pass too. Overall, I’m happy with the experience and grateful to have passed.

My experience with Driving instructor Sadaf was very good ,friendly and very clear with what I needed to do to pass - best driving instructor out there .

I had never driven before starting lessons with Abdellatif, but thanks to his incredible patience and guidance, I managed to pass my driving test with only 2 minors! From the very beginning, he made learning to drive feel easy and approachable. He created a calm and supportive environment, which really helped me build confidence behind the wheel.

What stood out most was his ability to give clear, constructive advice without ever making me feel discouraged. Every lesson was focused, helpful, and tailored to my progress. Abdellatif genuinely cares about his students’ success and it shows in the way he teaches.

I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. If you're looking for someone who is patient, encouraging, and highly effective, I wholeheartedly recommend Abdellatif!

I learnt with hasharli and honestly amazing woman! She was so supportive and helpful could not recommend her enough! Always helped me and made sure I was confident when I was struggling! She always makes time for you and very reliable
Passed 1st time with 4 minors!

Thank you very much for your service. He was an amazing instructor kept it straight to the point, i already had prior experience driving so he just helped me practice again and get me exam ready.

Abdellatif was my driving instructor and I passed the first time, he really put me at ease and helped make sure I passed. He made sure I took the test when I was ready and couldn’t thank him enough. He was really kind and patient which also helped me. Thank you

Sabir is a fantastic driving instructor and I’m really glad I learned with him. He’s calm, patient, and always made me feel comfortable. He explains things in a way that’s easy to understand and never rushed me, which really helped build my confidence. Each lesson felt relaxed but focused, and I could see real progress every time. Thanks to his support, I passed my test first try feeling fully prepared. If you want someone who’s friendly, reliable, and genuinely wants you to succeed, Sabir is the one to go with.

After having two previous instructors who left me feeling anxious and knocked my confidence, I was beginning to lose hope in ever passing my driving test. I had already failed once and wasn’t sure if I could do it. Then I found Dawood—and everything changed.

From the very first lesson, Dawood was calm, professional, and incredibly supportive. He quickly identified what I needed to work on, but more importantly, he helped rebuild my confidence step by step. His teaching style is clear, patient, and encouraging. He doesn’t just teach you to pass the test—he teaches you to become a safe, confident driver for life.

Thanks to Dawood’s guidance, I passed my driving test yesterday with ZERO faults—something I never thought possible. I can’t thank him enough for the belief and skills he gave me.

If you’re looking for an instructor who genuinely cares, knows what they’re doing, and will help you succeed, Dawood is the one. Highly, highly recommended.
