Reviews and Testimonials

Zairai Safi's teaching is amazing. I liked he told me precisely what, how, and when to do some movements during driving in a calm manner. I just followed his advice throughout the test and passed the practical test today straightforwardly. I think his advice would help anyone to drive safely. These techniques he teaches are a treasure that you can appreciate throughout your life. He also can teach both automatic and manual, and I changed from manual to automatic based

I had a great learning experience with my instructor Behzad and just passed my test first time. I always felt at ease driving with him as he always remained calm and explained things thoroughly. He was very kind and patient and I have recommended him to two friends of mine.

Safi is simply a brilliant instructor. Relaxed, confident in his own skill which makes him a nonjudgemental instructor that puts you at ease even when you make mistakes. He adapts and tailors his method of teaching according to your personality type and best learning method. On top of all that, he is a fun guy. I had a blast Driving around Cambridge with him. It is also worth mentioning that he has a really cool car.

Zairai Safi is an amazing driving instructor! His calm personality and good humor makes you feel at ease immediately in his lessons. He is great at explaining situations and ensuring that you understand what he is teaching. With his guidance I was able to pass my test on the first try. I highly recommend him!

I had an test before I met Safi. I was confident but got several “dangerous” in the test. Safi was recommended by a friend. In the first lesson, I realized I was not ready for a test at all. Safi pointed out so many mistakes that my previous instructor did not mentioned. Safi would also help me to analyse why I had mistake. I thought making mistakes meant you needed more practice. Safi let me know it’s not always the

Great method of teaching. Straight to the point. Great explanation, and also great chats.

When I first started out driving with Safi I was nervous. That quickly went away because he explains things well and gives you confidence. He also helped me become consistent with every aspect of driving. Overall top driving instructor and would highly recommend Safi to teach you. Also I passed first time. Safi is a legend!

Safi makes you comfortable and boosts your self confidence with his positive energy, which if you ask me is the most important factor of learning to drive. I had the best experience with him as he was strict when he needed to be and understanding at the most simple mistake you can make "you are human" is his classic phrase 🙂 Thank you again

Thank you so much Paul for being such a great instructor. Being always calm and patient toward mistakes, Paul makes a real driver out of you. I couldn't pass the first time without his informative lessons.

Maiwand Safi is an exceptionally good instructor, he taught me how to become a good and confident driver very quickly. His lessons are simple and clear and very understandable. He’s very nice and overall and amazing driving instructor.

If you are looking for outstanding driving tuition in Cambridge, please waste no time and get in contact with the DRIVEAWAY School of Motoring.

Mr Zairai Safi was my driving instructor. These are my top 3 reasons why I do consider him to be a great teacher:

1)He believes that anyone can learn. During my trial lesson, I have instantly realised that Mr Safi can help me to overcome pre-existing driving anxieties and rediscover my abilities.

2)He profoundly knows his

Linda is very friendly, reliable and a great driving instructor. She took me from a complete beginner to passing both theory and practical test in 6 months. Thanks Linda!

Mr Maiwand Safi was a great teacher. He is very good at building your confidence while pointing out where improvements can be made with your driving. I also found the exam preparation - with sat nav, practising test routes and mock exams - very useful. I can highly recommend him as a teacher.

I would like to thank maiwand safi for his amazing support and guidance which helped me to get through the license. He has good knowledge,dedicated and is very patient . In addition, he always goes an extra mile to make the candidate pass the test. I would stongly reommend him to anyone who really want to pass the test within a short span of time. Thank you safi

Safi Bhai is the best!! He encourages the learners to take time and get adjusted and gives confidence behind the wheel. Unlike other instructors who are too harsh and rude in giving instructions, Safi is always soft and fun to be next to. He assesses the student in the 1st class and adjusts his lessons based on the skills of the student. Totally fun learning with him by the side. He even lets you drive on our own and then

Maiwand Safi you are a legend, the best instructor in Cambridge. Thanks to your brilliant fun, engaging lessons I was able to pass my test in a short space of time. I’m so so great full and will never forget everything you taught me. Thank you so much.

Maiwand safi is an amazing driving instructor, very friendly and professional as well as extremely patient. Lessons are very thorough and he knows exactly how to help you improve, would 100% recommend

Safi was an excellent teacher. I feel like a confident driver and he prepared me very well for the driving test. Highly recommend!

Maiwand Safi is an amazing instructor patient, calm and polite. He structured the lessons perfectly to challenge me but to help me improve. He turned me from terrible in my first lesson to passing my test in only 30hours. The man is amazing. I recommendhim to everyone who wishes to learn.

Safi is brilliant - I could have asked for more from a driving instructor. He is flexible with lesson timings, explains everything so clearly and practically and all with a great sense of humour, making driving fun! He really gave me the confidence to drive and I can’t recommend him enough!

Linda was an excellent driving instructor, helping me pass first time despite having months between some of the lessons ! She was amazingly patient, and provided really clear, direct and concise instructions to help me improve my driving in each and every lesson. Cannot recommend highly enough !!!

SAFI is the best instructor ever , I was just absolute beginner and now I can drive on highway and anywhere confidently in just a few hours of lessons. Safi doesn't waste time, of course.

Safi is such a good teacher I was ever so slightly sad that I passed my test first time round because it meant we wouldn’t have any more lessons together. Infinitely patient with a brilliant sense of humour and great at explaining everything. Ladies and gentlemen we got it! Thanks Safi!

I had an excellent expierence with driveaway. My instructor was Ania and she was absolutely amazing , always calm and supportive.I was really nervous to start driving, but she made the whole process enjoyable. She prepared me really well and i pass my test first time . I would 100% recommend Ania to other learners. 10 stars out of 5 !

Safi doesn't waste time and we were driving in Cambridge really soon so I could get a first hand look at what I'd be up against on my test route. He will teach you what you need to know to pass your driving test as well as the skills you will need to know once you have passed and have become a fully qualified driver. The techniques he uses in the manoeuvres are very helpful and allowed me to pick

Behzad was a great instructor, always patient even when I made plenty of mistakes, and helped me pass my test.

My driving instructor was Erkan and he was absolutely brilliant! He was very calm and patient with me and taught me how to read the road. Everything we covered was for real life situation and not just for the test! Now I'm on the road and using everything Erkan taught me with complete confidence. I had several instructors over a few years trying to lean driving and with Erkan I passed within 6 months of learning with him!

Paul Shelton is a brilliant driving instructor.

Erkan is an excellent instructor. He will help you not only pass the test but become a good driver. His instruction to ‘talk to the road’ is very helpful. Each lesson will be valuable addition to your skills.

I had a real fear of driving after having been in accidents when I was younger and a really bad experience with my first driving test. However, Adam put me at ease almost instantly. The progress that I made during our lessons was nothing short of a miracle. I have just passed my test and there is no doubt that it is due to Adam's brilliant style of teaching. Thank you for everything!

I had couple of driving lesson about 9 years ago with an independent instructor that put me off of driving for 9 long years. I was terrified of the thought of driving. When I started driving with Shelash, it immediately became clear to me what a huge difference a good driving instructor can make. I realised that I wasn't scared of driving with an instructor who is super-descriptive, patient, friendly and empathetic. Shelash has put me at ease from the

Adam was a patient and friendly instructor who helped me adapt to UK driving and feel confident on the roads. Would highly recommend him!

Behzad was an amazing teacher, explained everything that you would need to know very well. Knows the routes well and they are sure to come up in the test. Great teacher and instructor. Thank you Behzad.

Great instructions from the very first lesson.
I have been fortunate to have been taught by him without question he is amazing, the experience has left me with an enjoyment for driving and knowlege of how to be safe on the road I would absolutely recommend him.
Thank you Mr. Behzad Yacubi for your patience.

excellent instructor. First time pass. Thank you.

I've always been very apprehensive about driving. I never wanted to do it and had put off learning properly for many years. I've had a learners permit from 3 different countries! Since I usually lived in a big city, I never forced myself to drive and get a full license. It was definitely a big regret of mine that I couldn't learn at a younger age. With that being said, Safi was a perfect instructor for me. He always made

When I started my driving journey I wanted the best. I asked around the local area and 9 times out of 10 everyone recommended driveaway school of motoring. Best decision I made. The moment I met my instructor Jonathan Phillips I felt my nerves melt away he makes it an absolute pleasure learning to drive! Every week I’d feel progress after progress, but with laughter and enjoyment! I passed my test first time today and I feel a confident, safe,

Safi is a very professional instructor. He is utilising different teaching skills that focuses on both practical and theoretical aspects of driving which is very essential when taking the actual driving test. It helped me
pass the test at ease because of the hardwork that he put in to every student that he has. He is an expert driving instructor and his car is set up with cameras and an ipad in a manner that he will teach you the

Great instruction from the very first lesson.
I have been fortunate to have been taught by the Safi brothers, without question these guys are amazing, the experience has left me with an enjoyment for driving and knowlege of how to be safe on the road, their instruction is profesional and detailed.
They are friendly and insightful and helped me pass first time, i would absolutely recommend them.

Mr Zairai Safi is the best and efficient driving instructor. His guidance helped me to pass the test in first attempt. When I made mistakes he taught me again and again with patience how to drive safely. He is an excellent driving instructor. I highly recommend him.

I'd driven for 20 years in the US with no issues but was anxious about getting a UK license. I really appreciated that Erkan has a lot of experience working with foreigners in his very well-maintained automatic Yaris. As other reviewers have noted, he is an excellent and seasoned instructor and can deftly shepherd both new and experienced drivers to their Pass (and good driving in general). I would heartily recommend Erkan as a sage and able guide to accompany

I highly recommend Safi as instructor.
Very easy, kind, patient and above all is supportive.
He knows exactly what he is doing. I passed my test from the 1st time and I wouldn’t have done it without his encouragement. My time was very tight. He told me how many lessons will I need immediately.
Most importantly he is very punctual.

Behzad is an amazing instructer. He let's you do the one thing most other instructers don't do enough of, and that is to actually drive! He let's you know all the required tricks and tips for the exam routes and will allow you to get rid of bad habits. A splendid teacher indeed!

I passed my practical test on my first attempt with no previous driving experience. We always started each lesson by identifying if there was anything I wanted extra practice with. With each lesson I felt that I was learning a new skill and not wasting any time. Erkan was excellent in teaching my how to be a safe driver. Not only was Erkan patient, but he was also willing to add on additional time to make sure we covered any

I had driving lessons with Behzad (a friend recommended him). I passed my theory exam about halfway through my practical lessons on the first attempt, and after just over 20 hours of driving lessons, I passed my practical exam also on the first try.

I found the lessons with Behzad relaxed, fun, and useful. I did do quite a lot of driving in between lessons with my partner which I think helped a lot too. So overall it was a

Can't recommend Jonathan enough as a driving instructor - he is very welcoming, friendly, patient and supportive. Since the very first time I got in contact with him, he has been nothing but helpful and has always made sure to get back to me as quickly as possible. I always felt at ease during lessons and Jonathan's encouragement and support helped me to build up the confidence and self-belief within myself about my driving ability. He's great company and makes

I had a great experience learning to drive with my Mr Yacubi (behzad). He's always on point and shows real passion in his job. He really ironed out the bad habits I had obtained, I would not have passed first time without him. Massive thanks Sir. Bless.

I went through several unhelpful and downright unpleasant instructors, before finally finding Adam. He makes you learn things properly, instead of using some silly trick that only works 90% of the time. He never got cross and was instead patient and kind with my frayed nerves. I passed first time. I now recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Despite being an older learner I passed first time with Erkan after less than 3 months of lessons. He was great at getting me into situations I could learn from, and very clear about the points that I needed to understand. Driving time during each lesson was maximised and I came out of every lesson having learned new things - he is very strong on going into the details of what could be improved and exactly how to observe and

Safi is a very knowledgeable and patient instructor. Together we came up with a plan for lessons and for the practical that worked for me. I am happy to share that I did pass on my first try. I don’t know if I could have done it without Safi’s instruction and support. I highly recommend him!!

Anna taught me a lot and she helped me in a nice atmosphere and she was with me until the very end until I passed the test, I highly recommend.

My husband arranged for our daughter to have driving lessons with Jonathan Phillips. We can confidently say that Jonathan must be one of the best driving instructors that anyone could ever hope to have. As well as being very encouraging in regard to the things which our daughter did well, he consistently corrected her errors in a patient, polite and non-patronizing way. Not only did our daughter pass her test first time under Jonathan's expert guidance, she thoroughly enjoyed each

Safi is a very good instructor. I have learned a lot from him. He understand people well and act accordingly to their requirements. I strongly recommend him.

My driving instructor Safi was extremely helpful and a real pleasure to be in the car with. Its mainly down to his patience that I passed my test first time, and a lot of study! Before I was learning from Safi I used another company and the experience couldn't have been more different. I would recommend him to anyone, thank you!

Safi is a great instructor! He helped me get over my weaknesses, improved my confidence in driving and was very patient. To top it all, he was great at putting my mind at ease with wonderful anecdotes! Thank you very much Safi.

I've done lessons with other instructors before but no one is like Mr. Safi. He doesn't only tell you what to do but also why you are doing it. He would patiently answer all your questions and help you find your weak spots. I would give 100 stars if this website let me. If anyone's looking for an instructor, don't sleep on Mr. Safi, he's the one you need!

Just passed first try thanks to Saffi’s patient and expert teaching. He’s the best!

I am glad to have Shelash as my tutor was very helpful and professional giving me exactly what I needed to learn with right technics

Mr Zairai Safi is the best and professional drive instructor I have met. I am very impressed when I made mistakes during the lessons. He never shouted at me but taught me again and again with patience. He is strict to the rules and laws. He wasn't just teaching me the skills of driving but the attitude of how to drive safely and respect other road users. He encouraged me a lot not to give up when I failed the

Mr Zairai Safi is very efficient driving instructor. He demonstrates manoeuvres very clearly and guides students very patiently. His guidance helped me to pass the test in first attempt. I strongly recommend Zairai Safi.

My experience with Driveaway was excellent! I had my full license from my home country and had thought I wouldn’t need a lesson to pass the test here. I had already taken the driving test twice and was feeling like it was impossible to pass when I called for a lesson with Zairai Safi. The lessons were great and after two I felt much more prepared and confident. With his help, I passed my driving test! Highly recommend, the instructor’s

Zairai is a very good instructor and I felt he wants his students to be more confident and take the test more prepared. Being international driver, I was only needed to take 6 hours of classes and Zairai did suggest me the needed improvements and he didn’t insist for unnecessary classes.

Can't rate Jonathan Phillips high enough. Jonathan was recommended through a friend. He gave my Son a huge amount of confidence, and got him through his test first time. Absolutely fantastic Instructor, a happy, calming influence. 100% Recommended

Mr Zairai Safi is a world class driving instructor! He had a very difficult case on his hands when he took me on as a complete beginner. I was anxious and lacked confidence. Flash forward four months and I've got my licence and feel at home behind the wheel. Mr Safi expertly adapts his teaching methods to suit learners of all types and at all levels, making sure that you really understand everything. I work full time and we were

Erkan was the only paid instructor I used throughout my 6 months of learning and I was able to pass first time with only 2 minors. He is always supportive and friendly, always wants to find the true cause of the problem you are having, and with his experience, he knows all the routes and spots where the test examiner might take you. I have learnt a lot, not just for the test, but for driving by myself that will

I have just passed my practical test, and it is all thanks to Shelash. He is responsible, professional and knows exactly what he is doing, which allowed me to pass my test on the first try.

Behzad is a thorough tutor with great attention to detail. always gives helpful feedback and pushes you to be the best driver.

Mr Safi is a phenomenal instructor. I was desperate to learn to drive before I turned 30 this year. I started to learn last year in a manual with another instructor and then gave up, switched to automatic with another instructor and company and gave up but as soon as I got in the car with Mr Safi a couple of months ago I haven’t looked back. He is so amazing to learn with and makes everything simple and easy

Jonathan was recommended to me by a colleague after wanting to start up my lessons again after a number of years. He is an honest, patient and diligent instructor who knows his students and what help they need. He made me feel confident about my driving ability and being out on the roads. He’s also a great laugh, good company and makes driving lessons a lot of fun. Thanks for helping me pass my test first time!!

Mr Safi is an very effectvie and nice instructor. He is patient with student, and always be willing to help students to be the best. The most impressive things are his teaching attitude and methods. His objective is not passing the exam only, but to eliminate any potential dangers in order to make sure students are 100% safe. He also keep reviewing himself and try to find the best/new method for each of his student. He is a perfect driving

Honesty I gone to so many driving instructors been told some many different things and been robbed silly never been ready I made the best choice to go for driveaway Safi really made me understand made it so simple it wasn’t about the money for this guy he just really wanted me to pass all I have to say if your reading this just book Safi i can guarantee a that you will pass thanks Safi

I'm an experienced international driver, but I needed to learn how to drive in the UK. I was a bit nervous driving on narrower roads (and on the other side of the road), but Anna helped me to gain the skills and confidence I needed to pass my test. She was always calm, and I never felt pressured or judged even when I made a mistake. She provided thorough explanations without being patronizing, so I was able to learn quickly

Just passed my test. Had the pleasure of being taught by Jon and I couldn't rate him high enough. He ensured that I understood what was being taught and had a great approach to teaching me everything I needed to know! Would definitely recommend!

Safi provides a thorough coaching experience. He is diligent and thoughtful. He is also highly knowledgeable of the licensing system, which was great because I needed to get the practical test taken care of as soon as possible. Within two weeks of contacting Safi I had taken two refresher sessions and passed my practical test. I cannot thank him enough for his attention to detail and insight.

I passed my test on my first try 🙂 Safi is so nice and patient, always correct me and explain in detail why and how. Practice by repeating until I fix my mistakes is a great way that works for me! Highly recommended! Thank you so much Safi!

Thank you so much for your amazing lessons. Without your help, I cannot get my license in two and half months. The roads I was tested are exactly those I trained for. Also Safi is so nice and supportive. When I failed my first test, he was still patient. I am so lucky to have lessons with him and with this company. Thank you again!

I was quite lucky to have The Safi Brothers (Maiwand and Sadi) as my driving instructors. These are pleasant personalities to learn a driving with; importantly they are fantastic instructors with lots of patience. The true quality of The Safi Brothers is their professionalism and commitment towards their job. They have been very honest with me all the time and I've made a best friends. I would undoubtedly recommend anyone to learn a driving with the The Safi Brothers.

Behzad is an excellent driving instructor who makes sure I not only passed the test, but also am able to drive safely in all sorts of traffic conditions. I started as a complete novice and I am now comfortable with driving in different situations including on narrow roads with cyclists and on motorways at a high speed for a long time. Every time I make a mistake he tries his best to understand why it happened and prevent it from

Anna was patient and kind throughout my weekly lessons with her. She explained everything brilliantly and was determined to make me pass even if that meant spending half an hour doing one type of manoeuvre! We got on so well which also made the lessons fun too. I also got my lessons fast and she was very flexible with her time to help get me a lesson every week which was much appreciated. I would strongly recommend Anna as a

I recently passed my driving test with Anna Rogowska as Instructor.

Behzard is excellent, friendly and professional!

My knowledge, experience and confidence on the roads were enhanced by his guidance. He provided me a comprehensive driving course in different traffic and weather conditions. Consequently I was able to successfully complete my driving test and I am glad to say Thank Behzard.

Moreover My Pass-Plus course was successfully completed with his supervision and it contributed me to gain my fundamental driving skill and confidence of on motorway driving, night driving etc..

Erkan is the best instructor I have ever met, both me and my husband passed out driving test with Erkan. He guided me according to my weakness, and always being very patient, supportive and encouraging. I feel what I have learnt from Erkan is not just for the test, but for real-life driving, these tip he gave me could really make my driving much safer than before. Both me and my husband appreciate Erkan's instruction and we highly recommend anyone

Just passed my driving test on the first attempt last Thursday. I had lessons with Erkan. He’s super nice, professional, supportive. He was really helpful for my driving lessons. Highly recommend Erkan.

Had a really fantastic learning experience with Máté. Just passed 1st time without practising in any other vehicles so my pass was achieved from Máté's lessons alone. 100% would recommend; he never lost composure so I always felt safe even in high-stress situations. Made learning to drive fun and easy!

We are truly blessed to have Safi as a driving
instructer he was extremely professional in his manner of work. Safi had the right level of patience and acumen towards me whilst each lesson took place. He was very concise and pre-prepared for each lesson to make it easier for me. I would undoubtedly recommend anyone to use Drive away school services. Keep up the great work. Thank you once again for all you help.

Thank you Behzad for the brilliant driving lessons. The lessons along with the mock tests were extremely helpful and I was able to pass my driving test on my first attempt.

I have never left a review in my life, but after having lessons with Erkan I must say how good of the teacher he is! Erkan thought me to drive for life, and I feel safe to have my family in my car, I passed first time with two minor faults. He gave me confidence and was always encouraging whilst giving excellent tutolage. I would highly recommend. Thank you Erkan!

Erkan was a fantastic instructor; he was very knowledgable and patient, and he gave me consistent feedback on how to improve my driving. His advice helped me pass first time and I would highly recommend him.

'I just passed my test and I am very glad I had my lessons with Driveaway. My instructor Jonathan was a fantastic instructor and mentored me with care, always making sure I understood what I was doing and never ridiculed when I did something wrong. I'm sure the many other workers at Driveaway are just as great and I would highly recommend them to anyone I know'

What an amazing journey with the best instructor ever...The way he teaches is absolutely fantastic and the confidence he gives you is more than amazing...He deserves all the stars from the entire world,not only 5.Thank you mr Safi for all the support that you gave me.I am almost sad that i got the driving license and i will not drive with you anymore..You are the best.

I feel very lucky to have Mr. Safi as my driving instructor.
He is not only professional and friendly, but also very intuitive about adapting his teaching methods.
He tried to understand my driving habits and my way of thinking when driving, and through patience and encouragement, he taught me what it really means to be a safe and considerate driver for myself and other road users.
Passing the theory test is one thing and be able to apply everything

The best driving instructor, very professional and calm, I've passed my driving test just after 10 hours of driving lessons. Thank you again Mr Safi!!

Andy (my instructor) was very supportive and patient, as well as likeable and helpful. Helped me in passing my test on the first try. Highly recommend.

I am writing this review for my instructor in Cambridge Mr Behzad Yusufi. Behzad is a very friendly, calm and gentleperson to talk to if you have questions of driving, which actually helped me a lot to improve. He is an excellent and patient instructor. He is easy to understand, follow, and most importantly, open to suggestions and feedback.

I learned driving in Southampton; however, I could not take the test in Southampton because I had to move Cambridge because

Safi is a great instructor to work with. He schedules the most suitable training for you only. More practices are done rather than book work. He can also give good advice to experienced drivers. He will do all he can to help you pass the task as soon as possible. Would recommand him for all new or experienced drivers.

Safi is a great instructor to work with. He always gives a clear instruction on what you should or shouldn't do. All suggestions are based on your performance not just book work. More practices are done rather than simple talks. He will help you to accomplish your task as soon as possible. In the meantime, he can give good guidelines for experienced drivers. Although the price may be a concern, everything is worthy at last. Would recommend him to all

A friend recommended Shelash as a instructor. Fun and focus on his teaching. Very Profesional. Spanish speaker. Help very carefully to improve your driving and security on the road. Great Experience!!!

I’ve been taking driving lessons with Erkan over several months as I hold a US license and needed to understand the UK roadways before taking the test here. Erkan has been the most thorough and patient instructor ensuring that I not only corrected any bad habits from my previous years of driving, but that I felt comfortable and understood the importance of safe driving in general; not only with respect to passing the test. Erkan is detail oriented and if

Shelash is a great instructor.I can honestly say I looked forward to every driving lesson with him. Thank you Shelash for helping me pass!

I’m a more mature learner at 41, was confident on the road as a cyclist, but wanted a drivers license. I was fortunate enough to have Erkan as my driving instructor. Erkan doesn’t just want you to pass your test, he wants you to be a good driver, a safe driver. His teaching style is fantastic - he will first get you to have control of the car, and then he will the work through road positioning, prioritising risks, and

What a fantastic instructor. Very friendly, reliable and encouraging. He is very balanced in his approach and manages to be kind but firm. He keeps his instructions clear and concise and doesn't rest till the job is properly done. The added bonus is he does it all in a very cheerful way.
Absolutely recommended 🙂 Thank you very much!

Having moved on from a previous instructor I had my concerns about the process of learning to drive, but I could not have found a more accommodating, understanding, friendly and kind instructor than Jonathan! He allowed me to determine the lesson if I was having an anxious day, all the while supporting me in every step and making sure I felt relaxed, safe and confident. He encouraged me to do my best when he knew I was capable, and always

I met Erkan after moving to Cambridge, and having failed a driving test in a different city after many hours of lessons. And I absolutely regret not finding him sooner!
He is a highly competent and efficient teacher, who is passionate about his job and fully committed to the cause of making you a safe driver. Erkan can come across as a firm taskmaster when it comes to rules of the road, and with good reason- road safety is no

Paul is really a nice and experienced instructor. With his instruction, I passed my practical test on my first try.

Very much satisfied.!!

Hi. I passed my exam first time. :))Safi was exceptionally professional but also really friendly and approachable. He takes pride in his job and makes sure he does everything possible for everyone to pass the test - which not all the instructors do. 🙂 Great experience. Definitely worth recommending!

Hi.
Today I passed my driving test with the help of the efforts being put by Erkan.
Few things about Erkan,he is straightforward,hard working guy.He tells you your deficiencies,and tries to correct them.
He not only teach you how to pass the exam but to be a safe driver on the roads.
If you really wants to pass,concentrate on what he tells you.His words are valuable.
I wish all of you good luck and have trust and patience with him.

Ian is an absolutely fantastic instructor - couldn’t recommend enough. Great guy! Thanks

My friends had recommended Paul as a very good drivers instructor. I had never driven in this country before and I was very afraid of driving in the left side of the road. Paul went through all the basics and would add more complex things as I would progress. I felt very confident for my exam, as I could remember all his recommendations along the way. I would totally recommend Paul, he has great experience as a driver instructor.

Instructor Erkan is an excellent driving instructor, who helped me pass my practical test at the first attempt yesterday (04/01/19). He was always patient and clear with his instruction, and taught me so many useful things. He helped me overcome several bad habits I had picked up from previous driving experiences in my own country, and provided me vital key factors to be a safe and good driver. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Look nowhere else ladies and gents,

Very confident and kind instructor with clear instructions on how to improve

Shelash is a very responsible instructor who teaches driving by motivating students to think about the rationale behind each manoeuver. With his help I am able to quickly follow the highway code and overcome some harmful driving habits. I am able to pass the practical test in my first attempt and the overall learning experience is wonderful.

During my lessons with Shelash, it was very fun and helpful. He was able to give advice and tips with the problems I had when I was driving, made quick improvements as soon as possible just before my exam.

I would highly recommend Adam Fuller as an instructor. The calm, structured and tailored approach helped me to feel confident and safe in my driving, and allowed me to pass first time. Thank you very much for all the help!

Just passed my test yesterday thanks to Shelash. Great instructor. No-nonsense, funny and very calming, he made me feel very confident at the wheel. Cheers Shelash 🙂

I enjoyed learning to drive with Behzad and he helped me to pass first time.

I wasn't particularly confident at first but Behzad struck a good balance between being patient but also pushing me each lesson to ensure I made progress.

I felt I learned something after each session and the time was always well spent. I'd certainly recommend Behzad.

Sincerely appreciate Erkan’s driving lessons. The way he instructed me was very practical and useful. He pointed out my weakness and effectively helped me to correct them. By learning with Erkan, my confidence and knowledge of driving a manual car on the road built up swiftly. With his great help, I passed my test with just couple of minors in one go! Definitely highly recommend him to everyone (he can do either manual or automatic)! Thanks again Erkan!!!

Mr safi is such an amazing instructor! He is knowledgeable, reliable and very supportive. I am so impressed by his proficiency in using the advanced equipments in his car to facilitate learning. He has also used many analogy examples to help me understand and remember all the rules. He is very patient, and provides clear clarification on any query. In addition, he has great sense of humour, which makes learning driving much easier and  enjoyable.  I feel very lucky to

Adam is a brilliant and knowledgeable instructor. He was very patient and flexible with me, always answering my numerous questions and never losing his cool. It is obvious that he takes pride in his work and as a result I would highly recommend him to a friend or family member. He is also a very friendly and all around good guy. Thanks you so much Adam for helping me pass!

Many thanks to Paul Shenton for helping me pass my driving test the first time. When I started driving I was really nervous and I never thought I would learn to drive, but he really made me feel relaxed and confident about driving. He is an excellent instructor and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive. Thanks again Paul

I began lessons with Shelash after having over 30 hours with an instructor from Red. The previous instructor made me quite nervous when I was behind the wheel, and I didn't have the confidence necessary to be a good driver. However, as soon as I started lessons with Shelash, I was so much more relaxed, and my driving improved dramatically! In fact, due to the help and assistance from Shelash, I passed the driving test the first time.

Shelash is

Best instructor of all! Made me very comfortable helped with my weaknesses and very understanding will miss our weekly lessons thank u soo much!!

I passed my test today with having 4 lessons with Safi and very little experience before hand. I booked my test for few months time however Safi was able to find me a test for the following week. I passed my test within a week! Would highly recommend this instructor, he's great at his job and very experienced.

Erkan is the best instructor I’ve ever met.I didn’t waste any money on the drive lessons,every time I would learn more knowledge and skills.Now I drive safely and confidently and passed my test .I really want to say:thank you so much,dear Erkan.

Safi is a great instructor! Very supportive, patient and polite. He tailors the lessons to the student needs and builds your confidence towards the end goal ‘practical driving test’. I couldn’t have passed my test without Safi’s support and patience. I’m very happy to recommend Safi to any learner.

Today I passed my test thanks to Erkan who was the best instructor I've ever had. He was firm but fair - didn't tiptoe around any mistakes I made and told me straight away which allowed me to immediately realise what I had done, and correct moving forward. On the flip side he was also extremely good at praising me when I was driving well - he truly loves doing this work and it shows. Honestly couldn't heave learned to

Any driving instructor can teach you the rules of the road or the techniques required to navigate a car but what makes Zairai Safi different is that he builds your confidence and encourages you to develop judgment skills - both extremely important for passing a practical driving test.

Safi does not follow a "one-size-fits-all" training method, he customises his coaching based on the base skill / knowledge levels of each individual learner and he goes out of his way to

Zairai Safi is really supportive and patient 🙂 instructor. He is very experienced and has a driver specific approach in all our practice sessions. His car is fantastic and fully equipped. I can say I am not an easy case but we did it together! Highly recommend.

I can't even describe how amazing safi is. Not only did i pss my test first time in less than three weeks, i learned a lot from him about driving safe and feeing more confident on the road. He's very knowledgeable, relaxed and fun to be with. He's very good at conveying information and making it easy for learners to feel confident. I can't thank him enough and would recommend him anyone who is learning to drive.

Hi,

I used to drive regularly in India. After coming to UK, I thought I will pass the test after having a few classes. I did the classes from one of the national player but failed three times 🙁

Funny enough, they didn't took me through the typical test routes, right experience wasn't created. I then connected with Erkan at Driveway School of motoring. He responded the same day and we fixed the time for first session. He did the

Mr Safi is the best instructor I have ever might. He is humorous, nice, patient and very friendly. Thanks for him, I finally passed my driving test this morning. He is really good at build-up student's confidence. Every lesson is very productive. He always teaches in a simple but vivid way, and all driving procedures are easy to follow. His car is great, the video on front and back is very useful when I can't remember my mistakes. Can't thank

A Massive thank you to Andy for getting my son Josh though his driving lessons and test, passing 1st time, andy must have been able to communicate well with my son and teach him brilliantly in what can only be said in a short space of time! Thank you Andy thoroughly recommended!

I had a great time learning with Ian Rowe, he really understood what I need to do to progress. Nearing the end of our lessons I felt wholly confident in my driving ability. I can’t recommend him enough.

If you want to pass, you can go with any driving instructor available, but if you want learn how to drive safely and pass, go with Saff (automatic car). He’s fantastic, without him teaching me what he has taught me, I wouldn’t have passed and learned how to be a safe driver. I can’t thank him enough, he’s the best.

Made me feel very calm driving and also gave great parking techniques. Every lesson I made lots of progression and passed my test easily. Thank you!

Mr Shelash is a great driving instructor. Here’s why: knowledgeable, detail-oriented, patient, and pleasant. He goes beyond the driving lessons and gives one other good practice tips about roads, observations, cars, pedestrian behavior, mistakes to avoid, etc. issues that make you more knowledgeable and help build your confidence as a driver. He demonstrates driving concepts and explains the physics behind them clearly. He helped me pass with zero faults! and indeed, It was a pleasure to have him as my

Erkan was fantastic for both me and my wife. Highly recommended

Having lessons with Safi is just amazing, he is very patient, very funny and very skillful, I had a lot of fun with him, I am very confident with my skill now and no matter how complicated the road is, I can handle it easily, thanks to Safi! Book your lessons with him, you will not regret it!

Zairai Safi was incredibly enthusiastic and supportive instructor. His car was clean, comfortable and fully equipped with cameras/sensors. Highly recommend.

I had a fantastic experience with Zairai and I can't recommend him enough! I truly enjoyed every lesson and thanks to his teaching style, flexibility and patience I passed my test the first time. I'm extremely pleased - thank you!!

Erkan has been an excellent instructor. But he hasn't *just* helped me pass the driving test; he's helped me 'feel the car' and drive with much more control. Erkan has done this by teaching and explaining general techniques, rather than a series of robotic moves, which makes me feel more comfortable when driving in new places. Erkan has helped me to learn how to plan well, and where to look, so that I can anticipate what will happen and react

I'm very pleased to having had Shelash as my instructor - he is professional and persistent, yet very friendly. I couldn't recommend him enough.

Ian is a fantastic instructor - I only had a few weeks to learn before going away and Ian accommodated it perfectly, teaching me quickly and with just the right intensity. He stayed calm when I made mistakes and cracked jokes when I needed reassuring.
Thanks to Ian I was able to pass first time in only five weeks, I couldn't recommend him more!!

Andy was absolutely brilliant, such a good driving instructor and a great teacher. He was very patient and flexible which made learning to drive so easy and enjoyable. I would Highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for an instructor as he was good enough to get me to pass first time. Thank you very much Andy

I truely enjoyed all the lessons and how Safi handled the teaching and instructing. Great job and great person. Thanks again Safi

Huge thanks to Safi for teaching me how to drive, and getting me through my test today. Safi is everything you could want in a driving instructor - he is patient, kind, professional, and understanding. He's also friendly and funny, every lesson with him was a pleasure. Safi takes his instruction seriously - I was always impressed at his use of teaching tools like dash-cam recording systems to replay recent scenarios which could have gone better, and iPad apps that

Safi is a fantastic instructor. He is friendly and understands where you are with your driving ability and helps you improve your skill. He always provided valuable advice which helped me pass my test. I will throughly recommend Safi. Thank you once again.

I would highly recommend Safi. He is a fantastic instructor. He is highly knowledgable and was very helpful in providing the confidence I needed. Thanks to him I passed my test in the 1st attempt. Thank you again.

Erkan prepared me to pass the test. Period. I had been driving for decades in the USA and thought I was ready for the UK test no problem. I can honestly say there is no way I would have passed without his help. He corrected some bad habits that made all the difference.

Brace yourself, though - he will tell you like it is without beating around the bush. Don't expect him to flood you with complements but rather to

I cannot recommend Zairai Safi enough, he is the absolute tops !!! He is kind patient, professional, funny & instantly puts you at ease, as well as being knowledgeable & completely understanding, correcting when necessary & praising to bring your confidence levels up, I don't think I could of done it without him to be honest, a true gem & amazing individual that I will always be grateful for meeting & getting me through this, thanks to Zairai I passed

Shelash is such a wonderful driving instructor! I just had 4 lessons with him before I took my driving test. I passed my driving test at my first attempt.
I learnt a lot of driving skills from him.
Thank you Shelash!

I can 100% recommend Shelash as a brilliant driving instructor - he was so helpful and kind and helped my confidence hugely, allowing me to pass first time after learning for just under 4 months! He helped me feel safe on the road while also making learning to drive fun and pushed me to do my best which was just what I needed. I can't thank you enough Shelash!

I would recommend Shelash to anyone. He has been not only an excellent teacher but was also brilliant when I got stressed or nervous about things and was always very patient with me which was just what I needed. As an added bonus he is a genuine pleasure to spend time with!

Today I went from being a very nervous beginner to passing my test with no minors - I'm delighted and just have him to thank. I cannot recommend

Paul (Shenton) is a very experienced instructor. I have never driven before, but I did my driving test after 30 hours of practice and passed in one go. He knows everything and is very patient. I would definitely recommend him to anyone I know. Thank you so much Paul!

Thankyou so much for teaching me Ian, it has been a real pleasure driving with you, you are so patient, friendly and calm, and you really got to know my way of learning and used it, Iv had a few instructors and you are by far the best I ever had! I really appreciate everything and I can't thankyou enough for helping me pass!! 5* instructor in my eyes! I Highly recommend you!

Many thanks to Shelash for helping me learn to drive again and pass the test. He was always very relaxed and patient with my mistakes, and after his lessons I feel much more confident driving.

A big thank you to Ray whose calm nature, structured approach and high standards meant I passed my test on the first attempt. Having been driving abroad for many years, it was a challenge to prepare to re-sit a driving test, but Ray was patient and helped me to get rid of my bad driving habits. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor and would highly recommend learning to drive with Ray.

I just wanted to thank Zairai Safi for being a fantastic teacher and getting me to and through my driving test today.
If you are looking for an instructor I doubt you could do better than Waterbeach based Safi.
He was calm and patient which made me feel safe and confident and his explanations were clear and easy to understand.
He was not afraid to use up to date teaching techniques and was honest about how well or badly I

I was lucky to find Zairai Safi as my driving instructor. He is funny, and patient, and explained the lessons beforehand and also whenever I made mistakes while driving. He took pains to put me at ease while driving. He always reviewed the session at the end and gave pointers on how I can improve. He gave me ample practice, and helped me to prepare well in the weeks leading to the driving test. I would recommend Zairai Safi for

I cannot recommend Erkan enough as a driving instructor - I had previously had lessons in Southampton (and failed my test!) but starting lessons with Erkan taught me SO much more about driving... it taught me how to be a good driver, rather than just someone robotically trying to pass a test. He made me feel safe and comfortable on the road and always pushed me (which is super important). He never gave up on me, despite nearly giving up

I needed a lot of help and practice whilst learning everything from general driving to maneuvers, and Andy was happy to explain and practically demonstrate all of those key points as many times as needed, and continuously tell me how I could improve. Thank you very much, I couldn't have done it without you!

I have the highest respect for my instructor Safi. He understands the student’s situation and psychology and adjust his teaching. I strongly recommend him as instructor.

I passed my driving test and I would like to say BIG thanks to Safi. I am very greatful and satisfied for his strategies of teching. He is very friendly, relaxed supportive, encouraging and made me feel confident whist driving. And he give lots of useful informations and tips not just to pass but to be a good driver as you passed.
I would highly recommended SAFI Of Driveaway School of Motoring.

Erkan you are amazing instructor, the basic and important driving principles you taught me feel the car and read the road which really helped me in getting through the test, one more important thing is if we are ready for the test he will push to take test which I like the most. I would really recommend Erkan for the people who are just starting lesson in order to save money, time as he just focus on finding learner faults

I was lucky to find Paul to be my my driving instructor. After being with my previous driving school, I suffered a lot stress when I am driving on the road. Paul never questioned me during driving if I made mistake as I was nervous enough, but we reviewed after and he let me practice again. I do appreciate the way he communicate, which helped me to quickly pickup and correct the mistake. Now I passed test for the first

Erkan Cengiz is a fantastic instructor I completed a total of 22 lessons with him and passed my test with flying colours. He completely transformed my approach to driving I now can drive with confidence and ease I would recommend him massively as he really takes the time to critique and improve your driving skills to make sure that you not only PASS but DRIVE safely and with enjoyment in the future.

Thank you Shelash for all your help. Your lessons really helped me to improve my driving ability and improve my confidence allowing me to pass with no stress. Would reccomend to anyone! Thank you again!

Andy helped me pass my test first time! He was very patient and encouraging, whilst keeping firm to ensure that I didn't develop any bad driving habits. He was very flexible with lesson times (he even gave up part of his world cup weekend to help me with the final preparations for my test).

I passed with 18 hours of lessons and would thoroughly recommend Andy - he is a BRILLIANT instructor.

Thank you very much for your excellent instruction which helped me to pass first time. I understood exactly what I needed, and gave just the right level of encouragement. An outstanding teacher!

I passed my driving test on my first try all thanks to Erkan. He is an amazing instructor who ditches the book and will give you all hands-on practical knowledge. He has the ability to adapt to your pace and adjust the lesson accordingly. I passed my test with just 20 hours of lessons and I had no experience driving a car prior to that. All I can say is, Go for it!

Paul was a great driving instructor, would recommend

Thank you Paul for helping me achieve my goal

I had a few driving classes with Paul and he adapted his methodology according to my needs. He is a honest and friendly instructor. I would recommend him for any person who has or not previous driving experience.

I pass my driving test and thanks to Selash. He is a very professional and an excellent driving instructor. He is very patient and very helpful. encouraging, and reassuring me whenever I make any mistakes. Thank you so much Shelash!

TLDR: Shelash's driving lessons are finely tailored to suit your level, he works hard to put himself in your shoes and addresses the foundational mistakes in your driving. As a result, your driving skill goes up several notches in each lesson and you pass before you know it.

In my specific case, when I took up lessons with Shelash, I had some previous driving experience in India and wanted to improve and get a UK driver's license. Shelash's lessons allowed

I passed my driving test a few days ago thanks to Ian. Ian was a really great instructor, more than I could’ve asked for. He was very patient, caring and understanding throughout all of the driving we did together. He stuck by me when I had driving issues, and I’m so grateful for all his help - thanks to him I know have the opportunity to drive for the rest of my life. Thanks Ian, can’t give you enough credit.
