I strongly recommend Mrs. Rassool. She spent many months with me throughout my learning journey. She is very patient, kind, and an excellent instructor. We became like sister and brother during this process. She also has a great understanding of people’s psychology. There were times when I felt very low, and even moments when I cried, but she always encouraged me not to give up and kept motivating me. At the beginning, I was also very worried because my English was not very good, but we understood each other very well, which made the learning process much easier. I would like to say to all students on this journey: please never give up and believe that you will pass. My daughter is also currently on the way to getting her driving licence, and of course I will trust Mrs. Rassool with her as well.Moreexpand_more

My driving instructor (Ms. Rassool) was very patient and supportive, always explaining things clearly and helping me feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel. I passed my test on my second time with 3 minors thanks to her guidance. If anyone is struggling with manoeuvres I would recommend ms RASOOL she really helped me gained confidence.

I had a different instructor from another academy and had two failed attempts with him, when I was referred to Rassool by a friend. The techniques and tips Rassool gave me to improve my driving skills were comendable. She taught me so many things which my previous instructor had not even mentioned. It was pleasure learning from her. She was extremely patient and gave me enough practice before the exam to finally be able to pass my practical driving test with only 3 minors. Thank you Rassool for all your constant advice and reinforced tips.

Ms rasool is honestly one of the best instructors in Derby, I came from London and did a 2 day crash course with her. I had so many mistakes, and she managed to perfect everything for me. I managed to pass first time in burton because of ( ms rasool). Once again if you really want to pass I suggest you book your lessons with her and you will pass with ease ? .

I really enjoyed learning with Ms. Rassool as my driving instructor. Ms. Rassool were patient, calm and explained things in a clear way that made me feel more confident behind the wheel. Ms. Rassool guidance on manoeuvres especially parking and roundabouts was very helpful and easy to follow and I passed first time exam. I also appreciated how you created a relaxed learning environment, which helped reduce my nerves and allowed me to focus on improving each lesson. Ms. Rassool constructive feedback after mistakes was encouraging and helped me understand exactly what to work on. One small suggestion would be to occasionally spend a bit more time reviewing complex routes or mock test practice, as this would further build confidence before the driving test. Overall, thank you for your professionalism, support and dedication. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive driving instructor.Moreexpand_more

I passed with Ms Rassool. I had almost given up on driving. She was encouraging and helpful. Her method of teaching is not complicated, easy to understand and follow through. I would recommend her any day.

Mrs Rassool was an amazing instructor, and I honestly couldn’t have done it without her. She believed in me when I needed it most, and I’m so grateful for her support and patience. In just two weeks of lessons, she helped me gain confidence and pass my driving test with only 3 minor errors. Before joining Apna Driving School, I had a previous instructor from another school and spent over a year learning, but unfortunately I didn’t learn much or feel prepared. The best decision I made was changing schools and meeting Mrs Rassool. Her teaching style is clear, calm, and very effective. I highly recommend Apna Driving School, especially Mrs Rassool, to anyone who wants to learn properly and pass their test with confidence.

I recently passed my driving test, and I couldn’t have done it without my amazing instructor, Ms. Rassool! She is extremely patient, calm, and professional. From the very first lesson, she made me feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel. Her teaching style is clear and encouraging - she always explained my mistakes kindly and helped me improve step by step. I really appreciate how she focused on building safe driving habits, not just on passing the test. Thank you so much, Ms. Rassool, for your support, guidance, and motivation throughout my learning journey. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a brilliant driving instructor! ?.

Today I passed my driving test with four minors, after only a few months of lessons with APNA. Ms Rassool taught me so much and gave me invaluable experience, I am so grateful to her. She was the best driving instructor I could have asked for. 100% recommend.

I recently passed my driving test first time with Ms Rassool as my instructor, making only one minor mistake. I can definitely say that she is very committed to high standards of teaching and practice. Ms. Rassool is very punctual and always asks questions to make sure I understood all the rules and tasks. She also looked after my emotional side, which I was very impressed and delighted with, and that strengthened my confidence in my driving skills. I'm very grateful for her support and I wholeheartedly recommend her!
