Wimbledon Driving School

I finally passed my driving test on the 4th attempt, all thanks to Ibrahim! After struggling with other instructors, Ibrahim’s patience, clear guidance, and tailored teaching approach made all the difference. He helped me overcome my nerves and build confidence on the road. I couldn’t have done it without him—highly recommend!

Markieta is an excellent instructor, very thorough and encouraging. She made my daughter feel very confident and comfortable but was also rigorous in making sure she had all the skills and was very well prepared for the test. We were so happy with her she is now teaching our son!

I passed with two minors! Mohammad Zaheer Ud-d was my instructor. He is caring, patient and considerate. He has a huge sense of responsibility, and I always know that I can count on him. He makes sure that I learn something new each lesson, and every time when I make mistakes he works with me immediately to help me improve. He is also exam oriented and he makes sure that I practice all the tricky routes that might come up in exams. Most importantly, he is fun to be with. He makes every driving lesson enjoyable. I often enjoy chatting with him while we explore different parts of tolworth. I would highly recommend Zaheer if you are looking to pass the first time!Moreexpand_more

Many thanks to the driving school, namely Hafiz Farhan Rasheed, for the quality lessons. Everything went very well! I passed the test the first time.

Mustafa Rashid is one of the best driving instructors I have ever had! After failing 4 practical tests in the past, I decided to restart my driving journey with Wimbledon Driving School. I genuinely never thought I would get a license, but then I found Mustafa Rashid. He has witnessed over 150 driving tests and is so incredibly knowledgeable/patient. After years of self-doubt, I now finally have a license and freedom all thanks to Mustafa. I would highly recommend him, and I would also encourage you to let him sit in the back during your exam because you will get some really thorough notes that will help with your future driving. I will genuinely miss my lessons because it has been such a pleasure getting to know him! Tamsin.

I passed my driving test all thanks to the best instructor Bashir Ahmed ! His thorough teaching, with close attention to detail made me a confident driver in no time ? Also super friendly and made the lessons so enjoyable! Thanks again Bashir Ahmed !

Just passed my ADI part 3 on FIRST ATTEMPT Thanks to my super helpful, supportive and patient instructor Mr Russell from Wimbledon Driving school. He was super attentive and helped in areas and individually catered to my needs. His guidance led to my confidence in facing the test which is why I am happy to say that I’ve passed. Highly recommend his teaching and I hope someone else can experience the same excellent guidance as I did.

I passed my driving test 1st time with only 3 minors, all thanks to the best instructor Mustafa! His thorough teaching, with close attention to detail made me a confident driver in no time ? Also super friendly and made the lessons so enjoyable! Thanks again Mustafa!

I passed first time with only 5 faults with my amazing instructor, Lubna! Her teaching methods are unique as she really does take the time to analyse who you are as a person, not just as a driver, and she uses this to structure the lessons to follow your needs as a learner. Making sure that you leave being a safe, conscious driver is one of her top priorities! I would highly recommend her to anyone who appreciates a structured yet fun approach at making sure you’re equipped with all the necessary knowledge for the test and leave as a confident yet safe driver. Thanks again Lubna!

My son has been driving with your instructor from July. Had over 10 lessons so far. He is kind, patient and understanding but tardy with time keeping. Uses lesson time to refuel the car and take rest breaks. No time added on or adjusted and when questioned he says this is normal practice. Not sure how true this is. But time is money and I'm pretty certain refuelling isn't part of the exam!

I passed 1st time with Nas (Nasiru) with only 3x minors. I fully recommend Nas, he made me feel very at easy behind the wheel, and provided excellent feedback to improve my skills. It was a great and enjoyable experience.

I’ve had good experiences with my instructor Shamim Bhatti. As an older learner, he has been patient and has put me at ease on the road. His lessons have allowed me to build both my confidence and driving skills for my upcoming test. Highly recommended.

Called WDS fairly close to my test date, not expecting them to have any availability. They gave my details onto Shahzad, who quickly got in touch. From day 1 he has delivered lessons which match my pace of learning, he is a great teacher, so supportive and really believes in you. He moves on when I am ready, doesn’t waste your money. He is calm, level headed, unlike some instructors can be! A fantastic teacher, who has real belief in his students, and I can say I passed yesterday, all thanks to him!

My driving experience was great! My instructor was Abdul Salam, he’s so kind, helpful and always patient with me. He always used the iPad and other gadgets to explain and make things clear to me. He was always on time and happy to help. Abdul Salam made my driving experience enjoyable and successful because of him I passed my test. I am so grateful. I highly Abdul Salam you will not regret it!

I previously had terrible experiences with multiple instructors as an anxious driver. I thought it was a hurdle I couldnt overcome. I stopped attempting for years and so I was pleased to have been referred to Nas by Wimbledon Driving School. Nas has a naturally calming nature and has been patient, kind and extremely encouraging - he's everything you would expect of a driving instructor and more. He put me at complete ease and has helped me to become a confident driver!

I would highly recommend Wimbledon Driving School and Russell Platel if you want to learn to drive. With Russel I was able to pass first time on a manual car last week. I've had three instructors (one moved cities whilst teaching me, and the other switched to teaching automatic when I was learning manual). Having experienced several teaching styles, I can easily say that Russell's was the best for me. He was very patient and calm at all times. He provided clear explanations and made me feel comfortable when driving. As the head of the driving school he has many years of experience and this very clearly shows. Thank you so much Russel - I couldn't have done it without you!

I passed my practical test today with a big thanks to Szabi. He's a good teacher with a firm style that worked well for me, and I enjoyed working with him a lot.

Thank you Wimbledon Driving School! I had Russell and I would highly recommend him. He gave me the confidence that I would pass - I had previously thought that I would never pass. Thanks!

Russell was the most excellent driving instructor and he made me pass ADI part 2 test just in 12 lessons. He taught me to drive safely with confidence and ease. He has the top driving qualifications in the UK - there simply isn’t anyone better. Russell is extremely professional, and gave me excellent driving tips. He is the BEST.

Russell was the most excellent driving instructor and mentor and has set me up to be a safe driver for life! As a trainee doctor it was important for me to find a top instructor who would help me pass my test and drive safely with confidence and ease. I am also diagnosed dyslexic and dyspraxic so needed someone patient and easy to understand. Russell ticked every box and more! He has the top driving qualifications in the UK - there simply isn’t anyone better. Russell is extremely professional, gave me excellent driving tips and tricks and essentially guaranteed me a pass. When I did some lessons with family, they were all shocked at how good my driving was and commented that I was driving like someone with ‘years of road experience’. I have had instructors from some of the other large driving schools and didn’t find their teaching styles to be as useful in helping me to pass my test with confidence. I’m pleased to say Russell got me a first time pass!I also had a couple of lessons with Mrs Kamaly and found her teaching style to be absolutely brilliant whilst I was with her. She was polite and professional, like all the staff at the Wimbledon driving school!Moreexpand_more
