 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. +0I would highly recommend Mr Sarfraz from Shah Driving School to anyone looking to learn manual driving. He is a really good instructor, very patient, calm and helpful throughout the whole learning process. I passed my driving test on my first attempt after just 14 hours of lessons with him, which honestly says a lot about how well he teaches.

He explains everything clearly, makes sure you understand what you’re doing and helps you build confidence on the road. Even if you make mistakes, he explains what went wrong and how to improve without making you feel stressed or nervous. He focuses on getting you ready for the actual test and makes sure you understand not just how to pass, but how to drive properly and safely.

I’m really glad I chose Mr Sarfraz as my instructor because the progress I made in such a short time was amazing. If you’re looking for a reliable, patient and experienced manual driving instructor, I would definitely recommend Mr Sarfraz and Shah Driving School to anyone. Thank you for all the help and for helping me pass first time! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I fept abandoned by my previous tutor (elect drving school) after they had poorly communicated with me and left me 3 days before the test without a vehicle. I nearly had to abndon my test when the day before Mr Safraz cleared his schedule and gracefully stepped in to help me to cover a test center i had done 0 mocks on and passed. Im very grateful to Mr Safraz and Shah driving school.

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I took my driving lessons in a manual car with Mr Sarfraz and I can only speak positively about him. I started my first ever driving lesson with Sarfraz and did around 30 lessons with him, during these lessons Sarfraz was very calm, patient and positive towards me and had full belief in me that I would pass my driving test. Sarfraz was a very good teacher and explained everything to detail until I fully understood what I had to do! Sarfraz is a very kind person and a Top instructor and I would recommend him to any new learner driver who is looking to take lessons. 

Thanks to Sarfraz and Shah Driving School. 👍🏼😀
