I have been struggling with my theory…
I have been struggling with my theory test for around 3 years now and have had my confidence knocked so much throughout the years but luckily I have come across the amazing Yad who has helped and guided me through my first 1-1 zoom call session. Yad was really supportive from start to finish and was more than happy to re explain certain topics that I was unsure of, I would highly recommend Yad if you are struggling with your theory like myself!

Booked with National Intensive Driving School for my stepdaughter’s birthday and the whole experience was excellent. The course was very informative and helpful whenever needed. She passed her theory test almost immediately thanks to the prompt information and support they provided to help her prepare and pass.
They also managed to secure a practical test within a reasonable timeframe, which I know was largely beyond their control due to test availability. Overall, we’re really happy with the outcome and the service received.
Definitely recommend!
Paul (my instructor) was brilliant reassuring and great at explaining everything, great instructor and I highly recommend him!

The perfect instructor
Having done some lessons beforehand in a manual car I couldn’t recommend a better instructor! Samina was amazing and very reassuring, if it wasn’t for her professionalism, simple and clear ways of teaching I wouldn’t have passed, she made sure I understood everything from how to use the window wipers to parallel parking and using roundabouts.
Amazing instructor!

I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Kevan. From the very first lesson, he made me feel comfortable, confident, and relaxed behind the wheel. He’s incredibly patient, professional, and explains everything clearly, which really helped build my confidence each lesson.
Kevan always made the lessons enjoyable while still focusing on improving my driving skills and preparing me properly for real-life driving situations. His calm approach and encouragement helped me overcome nerves and become a much safer and more confident driver.
I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better instructor and would highly recommend Kevan to anyone looking to learn to drive. Thank you for all your support and guidance — 5 stars all the way!
