Wow. What a man Shazad is. An amazing instructor who helped me pass first time. His tips never fail can’t recommend enough

Shazad is an great instructor—calm, patient, and really clear in his explanations. He created a stress-free environment, making each lesson enjoyable and easy to follow. His positive attitude helped me stay confident throughout the process.

Shazad was an excellent instructor. He was patient, experienced and super helpful when it came to learning from my mistakes and passing my test. Couldn’t have hoped for a better instructor!

I passed my driving test on the first attempt and all thanks to my amazing instructor, Ismail. He is very patient and always corrects even the smallest mistakes to help you improve.

What makes Ismail special is that he’s not just focused on getting you to pass the test he wants you to become a safe and confident driver for life. During every lesson, he never wastes a minute. He makes sure you understand exactly how and where to apply your driving skills in real situations.

He is also very knowledgeable and explains everything clearly. I always felt supported and comfortable during my lessons and I learned so much from him.

If you are looking for a professional, dedicated, and very helpful instructor who truly cares about your driving future, I highly recommend Ismail. Thank you so much for all your help.

Adil was my instructor and within 2.5 weeks of consistent training I was able to successfully pass my driving test first time around. He was always very clear in his instructions and I genuinely think I will be a good driver because of him.

Before I started driving, I was dreading the idea. That was until I found 1driving Birmingham. My instructor was Asmah and she not only taught me everything. She tailored the lessons and went above and beyond in order to make sure i understand everything. She gave me constructive feedback and went through my errors with me in great detail. Even when I took a break for a year and went back to Square 1 and almost gave up altogether, she helped me get over my fears and helped me get test ready. And today on the 12th of June 2025, I passed my test a 10AM at garrets green. If your looking for an instructor in the Birmingham area, ask for asmah because without her I would be taking the bus. She's the best around I can promise that.

The instructors are very kind, helpful and patient. Teaching style is excellent. They have very nice cars too

I would recommend 1000% Shazad , who taught me everything i needed to know to pass my driving test today , he always kept me confident and never let me have a bad doubt in my mind coming into all of this, He is very patient and is the best instructor to have!! Thank you again Shazad.

Went from being really nervous and anxious to passing first time, I will forever be grateful to my instructor Sacdiya for providing me with the confidence I was lacking for so many years, Such a professional lady with immense experience and patience. From the very start made me feel at ease and was always reassuring and motivating me.

Thank you so much sacdiya for your driving lessons. You are kind and patient, you really helped me with my confidence. It has been amazing have you as part of my driving journey. I would definitely recommend her as a driving instructor for others.

I couldn’t recommend 1Driving.co.uk highly enough - especially my instructor, Asif, who was nothing short of incredible.

I came to 1Driving after trying two well-known driving schools, where I often felt unprepared and struggled to book more lessons. From the outset, 1Driving were a complete breath of fresh air: responsive, accommodating, and genuinely focused on helping me progress.

Asif went out of his way to make time for my lessons and even supported me in rebooking my test to a more reasonable date - soon enough to stay motivated, but with time to prepare properly. His background as a former DVSA driving examiner really showed. Unlike other instructors I'd worked with, he made a real effort to tailor his teaching to my learning style, adapting both the exercises and his communication to help me improve.

I’m not a natural driver, and even after many hours elsewhere, I still felt hesitant and uncomfortable behind the wheel. With Asif, not only did I pass my test on the first attempt, but - perhaps even more impressively - I now even enjoy driving.

What stood out most was the care and thought that characterises 1Driving's approach. Unlike many others, they’re not focused on taking on as many students as possible just to maximise earnings. Instead, they prioritise thorough, high-quality instruction and genuine support, which is incredibly rare to find.

KC is a fabulous instructor and I can't thank her enough for the tuition, encouragement and support she gave to my daughter. My daughter had two previous instructors but she remained very nervous and just wasn't progressing. When we switched to KC my daughter felt an immediate improvement in her tuition and her confidence just grew overnight. She passed with no majors and only 4 minors, and we can't thank KC enough. We also got help with booking a test to meet a particular time frame so can recommend for both tuition and help with test booking. Thank you so much for all your help KC. Would definitely recommend.

I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! Kasey was fantastic. From the very first lesson, she was so lovely and welcoming—it instantly put me at ease. She created such a fun environment that made me feel much more confident in my driving ability. Her kind, patient approach helped build my confidence behind the wheel, and I genuinely looked forward to every lesson. Thanks to her encouragement and guidance, I’ve not only become a more confident driver but actually enjoyed the process. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Nina was an amazing instructor! So friendly, so knowledgeable and always made me feel at ease even before my exam, she was amazing at fitting in with my very hectic schedule and I can’t thank her enough for helping me pass on my first attempt! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn how to drive 5*

Had a fantastic experience with Asif at 1driving. He was a patient and responsive instructor, managed to fit classes in around my schedule and went the extra mile to help me to pass. I also managed to secure a test slot at short notice through the company so would highly recommend for both their test booking services and driving lessons.

Saadiya is an amazing instructor. I cannot recommend anyone more. She is patient, considerate and kind. She gages what her student needs through body language and good communication. After two other not so great instructors, I finally found the right one. With Saadiya, you will past your test well and become a confident driver.

I passed my driving test today thanks to Shazad. I had failed a few times but Shazad did not give up on me and his consistent encouragement was crucial in my journey and helped me get my licence. I am so thankful to him and I would recommend him to friends and family who wish to pass their practical. Once again, thank you Shazad for all your help.

my instructor was easy going and never stopped giving me confidence. 100% recommend

Passed With Nina from 1Driving with 1 minor, amazing instructor she made me feel really confident for the test, and was really positive and encouraging the whole way, she’s really friendly easy to talk to and understanding, she’s really experienced and a pleasure to be with, i would have never been able to do it without her!Thank you Nina <3

My 18 year old daughter passed her test today first time!! We are so thrilled and also so grateful to her instructor Shazad, who was always so patient, kind and supportive and gave her great advice. She was nervous but he filled her with confidence. I would definitely recommend Shazad, he is brilliant.
