MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Hi, I'm Abdul — and I make learning to drive feel easy.

A man with glasses and a gray beard standing outdoors in a green garden, wearing a white button-down shirt.

I've been a DVSA Grade A driving instructor for 13 years, and I've helped over 300 people across London pass their test.

I'm patient, calm and reassuring — especially with nervous learners and anyone who's tried before. No shouting, no judgement. Just steady guidance that builds real confidence.

My automatic car is modern, clean, dual-controlled and fully insured. Every lesson is built around the things you find tricky, so no time is wasted.

Whether you're a total beginner, coming back after a break, or need lessons adapted to additional needs, I'll set the pace to suit you.

REVIEWS

Learners who passed with Abdul.

★★★★★

"Mr Latif was my one and only instructor, and it was clear from the start that he has years of experience. His teaching is direct and informative, but he adjusts easily to whatever I needed in the moment. Thanks to his flexible yet consistent approach I passed first time — I'd 100% recommend him to any learner."

"It took me eight months to go from driving at 7mph with total uncertainty to passing my exam with only a few minor errors. Mr Latif was the right teacher for me: supportive but never over-complimentary, and strict when it mattered, which helped me take my learning seriously. He carefully managed my learning load — never too much, never too little — and suggested postponing my exam by two months, which gave me the time I needed to build real confidence. He was always punctual and planned exam day carefully; we even had time to 'warm up' in my last lesson before we drove to the test centre right on time. Even now, I can still hear his voice telling me to check my mirrors and stop hugging the right-hand side of the road — advice that keeps me safe to this day."

"I couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor. From my very first lesson he made me feel comfortable, confident and at ease behind the wheel — always patient, encouraging, and clear in his explanations, which helped me improve with every lesson. The training was well-structured and tailored to my needs, giving me the confidence to handle different road situations and prepare thoroughly for my test. He was supportive and believed in me even when I doubted myself. Thanks to his excellent teaching and guidance, I passed my driving test first time — I genuinely couldn't have done it without him."

"I highly recommend my instructor, Abdul. He was extremely helpful throughout my lessons, supporting me in improving my driving skills, understanding traffic rules, and becoming more aware of everything I need to pay attention to on the road. He's patient, professional and clear in his instructions — thanks to his guidance I now feel confident driving independently wherever I need to go."

"Learning to drive with him was an amazing experience. He was very patient and knowledgeable, and helped me reach my best potential behind the wheel. I've gained a skill for life, but also a confidence I was missing — I'm grateful for the lessons, which helped me pass on my first attempt and have opened up so many opportunities to further my career. I'd highly recommend him as an instructor to anyone."

"I had such a wonderful time learning to drive with Mr Abdel Latif. His calm, patient and professional manner made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free, and whenever I felt nervous he knew exactly how to help me relax and regain my confidence. What amazed me most was his intuition — he could sense how you were feeling just from the way you held the wheel. After a few lessons he told me I was already ready for my test, but I chose to keep learning from him a little longer anyway. Thanks to his teaching I passed on the very first try. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a patient, knowledgeable and supportive driving coach."
