My instructor Pam has been the best instructor I’ve had and she’s incredibly patient and understanding. As I have mild ASD she’s been incredibly understanding. For me she’s 10/10 we’ve always had quality time and chats whilst we use our lessons too. I would heavily recommend her to others.

Aman instructor 5 ⭐️

Have been learning with Aman, automatic, for a couple of months now and I can say with confidence that he was the best instructor I’ve ever had! He was very understanding and was very knowledgeable about test routes! I have passed my test today and it’s all thanks to him. If you are reading this Aman thank you. Will miss our lessons :(

Passed my driving test thanks to Javed

I recently passed my driving test and I wanted to share how positive my experience was with Your Driving Academy, especially with my instructor Javed.
As a new learner I knew I needed someone patient, calm, and understanding, because mistakes are part of the learning process. Javed was exactly that. He never made me feel pressured or discouraged and always took the time to explain things clearly and help me build my skills and confidence from lesson to lesson.
His supportive approach really helped grow my driving skills and confidence and thanks to his guidance and teaching style, I was able to pass my test on the first attempt.
I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor.
I highly recommend Javed to anyone who is learning to drive.

Passed today with 1 minor

Passed today with 1 minor, all thanks to Nihal. She’s an absolutely incredible driving instructor, calm, patient and honest. I wouldn’t have been able to get my result without her. She goes out of her way to make sure you’re as prepared as possible. Definitely have your lessons with her!

Passed my driving test with Aman

I passed my driving test today and I honestly couldn’t have done it without Aman. He is an incredibly patient and supportive instructor who always took his time to explain anything I found confusing. His calm approach really helped build my confidence behind the wheel.

Aman prepared me exactly for what the examiner was looking for, making sure I understood not just how to drive, but why things needed to be done a certain way. I used to really struggle with roundabouts, but he took extra time to break everything down clearly and helped me approach them with confidence.

What really stood out was his constant patience he never rushed me and always made sure any issues were fully sorted before moving on. Overall, Aman is a fantastic instructor and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive properly and confidently.

I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with ShiTal from Your Driver Academy (YDA).

From the very first lesson his communication was clear and professional, making the scheduling and setup process completely seamless. He was consistently punctual, which I truly appreciated.

ShiTal has an incredible patience in the way he delivers his instructions, he has a real strength in explaining complex things simply. Beyond just driving skills, I felt comfortable enough to have great conversations during our lessons making every lesson something to look forward to. If you’re looking for a teacher who is supportive, encouraging, and genuinely cares about your progress, I cannot recommend ShiTal enough!

Great experience with instructor Amanulla

I had a great experience with driving instructor Amanulla.

Initially, I had been practicing at Wigston area but was looking for an earlier date than February. The person who helped with finding me a new date changed the test centre to Cannock, and I was really disturbed because it was an entirely new route and I had less than 2 weeks to prepare.

Amanulla patiently took me through the routes, improved my confidence with roundabouts and pushed me to step up. I passed my test yesterday and I was really happy. Thanks Amanulla, thanks YDA.
