I highly recommend Ms. Amnah Zafar as an instructor for automatic driving lessons. She is knowledgeable, patient, and especially great with beginners. I only took a few lessons with her before my test, but her guidance made a big difference I passed successfully thanks to her support.

I honestly can’t thank my instructor Darren Godwin enough for all the support and patience throughout my journey. It took me a few attempts, but he never once made me feel discouraged. He always believed in me, even when I doubted myself. His teaching style is calm, clear, and very supportive, which really helped build my confidence over time. He explains everything in a way that makes you feel comfortable and not pressured at all. Today I passed my driving test, and I truly couldn’t have done it without him. If you want an instructor who genuinely cares about your progress and never gives up on you, I highly recommend him! Also, thank you Ahmed.

I’m incredibly grateful to Ahmed Driving School for helping me achieve such an important milestone - passing my driving test! I couldn’t have done it without the right guidance and support. A special thank you to my instructor, Temor. He was not only friendly and approachable, but also very strict and detail-oriented - exactly what I needed to improve. His critical feedback pushed me to correct my mistakes and build confidence behind the wheel. Every lesson was valuable, and his dedication truly made a difference. Honestly, without his guidance and patience, I don’t think I would have achieved this success. I highly recommend Ahmed Driving School to anyone looking for professional, committed, and effective driving instruction. Thank you again for helping me reach this goal!

I completed my driving lessons with Darren Timothy Godwin and was thoroughly impressed by his professionalism and calm, safety-centred teaching style. He focuses on building genuine road awareness rather than simply preparing students to “pass a test, ” which made a significant difference to my confidence. Thanks to his clear guidance and patient approach, I passed my driving test on my first attempt. My husband also achieved the same result after training with him. I highly recommend Darren to anyone seeking a skilled, reliable, and supportive driving instructor.

Temor is a terrific teacher, professional, patient, not only giving the basic instruction, but also giving really helpful tips and personalizing the lessons to your needs. I was in need of obtaining a license quickly as I was moving out fo the country, and he was able to accomodate accordingly the lesson dates, that's invaluable human quality service on his part. I definitely recommend him as an instructor.

I’ve just passed my practical driving test today on my first attempt with only one driving fault with Emmanuel from Southampton. He is a phenomenal instructor who adjusts to my own needs on how the best way was to teach me. You would be lucky to land him as an instructor!

I had a great experience with my driving lessons at Ahmed Driving School, and I successfully passed my driving test! My instructor, Temor, was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, which made learning easy. The lessons were well-organized, starting with basic skills and gradually moving to more complex driving situations. I really appreciated the personalized feedback I received after each lesson, which helped me improve. Overall, investing in good instruction at Ahmed Driving School and practicing regularly made all the difference. I highly recommend them.

Excellent experience! I had prior driving experience from another country and booked for a few lessons to get test-ready in the UK. My instructor was Ahsan Laghari. He knew exactly where to start, quickly identified my mistakes and pain points, and helped me correct them efficiently. His guidance was focused, practical, and perfectly aligned with the test requirements. Thanks to his structured approach, I was fully prepared within my test schedule. I genuinely couldn’t have expected anything better. Highly recommended.

I would like to write a review on my instructor Temor. He was very calm and very nice and even when I made big mistakes he didn't shout or get angry just comforted and told me what I did wrong.

I recently completed 16 hours of driving lessons with Zia Ahmed from Ahmed Driving School in Southampton, and I’m thrilled to say I passed my driving test on the first try! Zia was an excellent instructor - patient, knowledgeable, and very professional. He helped me unlearn my bad driving habits and taught me proper driving techniques that meet UK standards. His clear explanations and calm teaching style made every lesson productive and enjoyable. I’d highly recommend Zia and Ahmed Driving School to anyone looking to build confidence, improve their skills, and pass their test quickly and safely.

I just passed my driving test, and I couldn't have done it without my instructor Amnah. From the very first lesson, I knew she was the kind of instructor for me, she is very patient, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about driving skills. She made sure I understood not just how to drive, but how to drive safely and confidently. What I appreciated most was her calm approach and how she tailored each lesson to focus on what I needed to improve on. She gave me clear explanations, practical tips, and always encouraged me, even when I was nervous or made mistakes. Thank you Amnah, I felt fully prepared today being my test day and passed on my first attempt with just two minor fault and got a compliment from the examiner of being a good driver and highly observant. I’d recommend Ahmed driving school to anyone looking to learn to drive with confidence! .

Zia Ahmed is a great instructor. He always took time to go through my driving errors thoroughly and often had gone beyond his usual commitment to accommodate my specific needs. Highly recommended.
