My exceptional experience with Bina

I recently passed my practical driving test this week, all thanks to my excellent instructor Bina.

Bina is incredibly patient, supportive and aware. She has a great way of teaching you things, especially those things that matter on the official test. If you are in search for a good quality instructor, I would definitely recommend to go for Bina! She's the best and excellent instructor you will not be disappointed.

Best Driving Instructor: Go to Bina!!


Bina was the best driving instructor I could have asked for. After failing my first driving test, I only had one lesson with her before my second attempt, and thanks to her clear guidance and support, I passed with flying colors. Her patient, understanding, and supportive teaching style made a significant difference in my driving confidence and skills.

Best Instructor

I just had my test today and passed first time. And to be honest I wont pass if Vips didn’t teach me perfectly, he wont let you book your test unless you are 💯ready for it.
Best instructor💯.

Best instructor out there! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I’ve been with Vips before Covid times, he has literally been a supporter throughout my driving experience. Even after the pandemic he never gave up on me to pass my practical exam, thankfully I’ve passed my practical today all thanks to vips for always being by my side. Highly recommend.

Bianaca! I’m going to miss our lessons

Bianaca is the best there is! I passed my test this morning!! She is so encouraging and very concise. I have had a few instructors in the past and learnt absolutely nothing but Bina got the job done and made the experience one I will always remember. She’s the best at what she does and will guide you through every step. She will be honest with you so be ready for that and if you can follow her instructions you will always hear her voice when you’re in the road! I’m going to miss lessons with her! If you need something done, get a woman!

Bina is an outstanding instructor!

First off, I’ve passed my driving test this week, thanks to Bina. I’d rate 10 out of 5 if I could- she is a great instructor. All instructions and explanations were clear and very easy to follow. Even when you’re experienced driver, she draws your attention to rational things that matter on the test. In my case it was about adopting some bad habits along my driving experience, things that obviously I never noticed. In case you’re looking for a driving instructor who takes this seriously and focuses only on those areas that are really need to be improved, I would definitely recommend to get in touch with Bina!

Bina is an incredible instructor!

My experience has been outstanding! Bina has been incredibly encouraging, supportive and patient during my time with her which has made this experience of getting my license even more enjoyable. She is on point and does not waste any of your time or money on anything unnecessary. You would not be disappointed by her work don’t worry x

Best driving instructor!

A big Thank you to my driving instructor Bina, she is by far the best instructor anyone could ask for. I was initially very nervous but Bina has helped put me at ease and gain in confidence lesson by lesson, as well as patiently taught me all the skills needed and ensured I was well-prepared for my test. Not only is Bina an excellent instructor, but a kind hearted and loveable person. Grateful for her advice and support!
She doesn’t encourage you to take unnecessary lessons just to waste money that’s a very good quality one would want to have in their instructor.
I highly recommend her for a great learning experience!👍

Despite getting me through my test I have been unimpressed with the conduct of my instructor as I wanted lessons after I passed and received no response. I would not have been offended if he had written back and said he was unable to do this but it's the lack of respect and it's rude.

Dear Laurence. Sorry to hear about this. We would be grateful if you can give us the instructers name as we believe the instructor may not be working for us. We have looked on our system and do not see your name as one of our students. Otherwise please remove your review.

Thank you

Amazing! Would do it again!

I had about a week till my test and had 0 lessons prior to signing up to do my driving test and lessons with Vips. It was an extremely pleasant experience to say at the least. I couldn’t believe how quickly he was able to crack down on my bad habits and teach me all the manoeuvres in very few hours.

Also I felt extremely comfortable and trusted Vips which is hard to come by being a young girl but the quality of the driving lessons and advice from Vips as a driving instructor is unmatched!

Thank you “Want driving lessons” and thank you Vips for getting me to passing standard for my test so soon!

God bless always
Would recommend and if ever I needed to do a test again I’d be right back here.

Oh btw I passed first time
Love always
Clarissa!
