I started taking lessons with Hamayon Shahzad earlier this month when my previous driving instructor fell through.
In 6 hours he got me ready for my test and helped me to gain my confidence back.
He explained meeting situations well, which was something I struggled with, and this helped me greatly when it came to test day.

Great to hear your amazing review 💯
Excellent service.
One of the guy Abdullah was not good.. he was unreliable.
But then, Astra came for support, and Atif Bhai was assigned. Atif Bhai gave the best advise and helped me pass my test

Despite reaching out just 3 weeks before my test, I was promptly assigned to an excellent instructor (Mr. Hamayon Shahzad) who understood my requirements and adjusted his training accordingly. We covered a lot of of ground and Mr. Hamayon helped me get test ready in very little time which increased my confidence and helped me pass first time. Very happy with my experience and would highly recommend Astra Driving School for learners at all experience levels.

Thank you so much for your review. Much appreciated 😌
Would definitely recommend
Majid has been a really good teacher over my last year of lessons. I was quite a nervous driver beforehand but Majid helped me to gain confidence and to feel safe on the roads. I always felt comfortable to ask questions or to ask to practice manoeuvres multiple times. I also passed first time which I wasn’t expecting. Thanks so much for helping me to pass!
