Hayelom did a great job preparing my daughter for her automatic driving test - she passed first time at the Horsforth test centre with just 3 minors after 24 lessons! I'll be getting in touch when my other daughter is 17! Thank you!
Passed my test with Pav, he was an incredible driving instructor - thank you so much!!
Passed first time with Arshed! He’s an excellent instructor and was a huge help in the lead-up to my test at Colton Mill.

He helped me identify exactly what I needed to work on in each lesson using his lesson plans and providing me with videos and screenshots of the stuff I needed to revise and improve on. explaining everything clearly with a lot of patience and encouragement. He was also really flexible with lesson times and always worked around my job schedule.

I’d definitely recommend Arshed to anyone looking for a great driving instructor.
Passed my test today with PAV! Super grateful, he’s an incredible instructor, made me feel super comfortable driving and calm for my test! Can’t recommend him enough!
I’d highly recommend Bestun to anyone learning to drive! He’s patient, professional, and has a great way of making every lesson feel relaxed and productive.
Even when I made mistakes, he stayed calm, explained things clearly, and helped build my confidence behind the wheel. Thanks to his excellent teaching and guidance, I passed my driving test first try in record time.
Learning to drive can be stressful, but Bestun somehow made it enjoyable. If you’re looking for an instructor who gets great results while keeping lessons friendly and encouraging, Bestun is the one to choose!
I passed today for the first time with Teklit, I couldn’t have done it without him. His advice was always so useful and he has such a calming presence that it made me feel very safe. Thank you so much for all your help !!! I was a completely new driver in February and within only 4 months I passed with only 3 minors. Thank you again !
Passed today thanks to my amazing instructor Nehla, who really helped me become comfortable and at ease with my driving, I would highly recommend to anyone and had a really positive experience.
Passed my test first time today with teklit’s help couldnt of asked for a better driving instructor was patient but pushed me to be a better driver and made my confidence shoot straight up every lesson was filled with more than enough detail
It took weeks worth of intense lessons, but I finally passed the test thanks to Teklit's patience and guidance. Bear in mind that I have been driving for 10+ years in different countries, so it was no easy task for neither of us to make me unlearn the habits that I had acquired throughout my life. So, this feat is also an attest of Teklit's instructing skills and for that I am forever grateful.
¡Muchas gracias!
Bestun abdullah helped me with getting my license and had no driving experience before then and had showed me how to drive a car from the beginning to getting my licensee with only 1 minor and he had showed me how to drive in a safe manner with in 9 lessons and one of the best instructor to learn from
My first time driving was with a staff called bestun and he had showed me how easy and simple it is to drive a car and i had only taken 9 lessons and got my license with only 1 minor and was showed very effortlessly
I passed today first time at the Bradford Thornbury test centre with only 3 minors after learning with Shafiq Shah since January. He was a great instructor and helped calm my driving anxiety - I felt very prepped and ready for my test, all thanks to his lessons! A great instructor and I'm very grateful!!
Arshad has taught both our daughters to drive and has been amazing. He has been reliable and accommodating throughout. He is also extremely methodical - keeping notes for each driver of what skills he has taught and their competency, to ensure they are test ready. Girls describe him as friendly and encouraging. Can’t recommmend highly enough.
I passed my test in Horsforth first time with Hona as my instructor. She is so lovely and such a good teacher, very patient and supportive, definitely recommend :)
I passed my test first time with Amanuel. He's a very patient and encouraging instructor. Thanks so much for your support!
Passed my test first time today at horsforth with PAV. Brilliant instructor and very patient, he gave me confidence to pass.
Teklit was an amazing driving instructor. He has a very good and calming way of teaching which is perfect in a driving scenario. I’ve had 4 instructors prior to him and he was by far the best.
I passed my test in Horsforth with automatic instructor Rizwan. He is a really nice and professional instructor.
Overall it was a pleasant experience with your company.
Keep it up.
Thanx
Shafiq Shah - Amazing instructor who gave me both the time on the road, and the confidence i needed to pass my test! alongside his adaptability and variety of pick up locations it allowed me to maximise and utilise my busy schedule to the best it could be. 100% recommend!
Today i passed first time at colton with only two minors. I highly recommend arshed as a driving instructor, he is perfect for nervous drivers, calming and easy to learn from.
Thank you
Passed first time with Pav at horsforth.
Great instructor, highly recommend.
My driving instructor was Amanuel and he was genuinely incredible! Super supportive I don’t think I’ve ever felt so comfortable driving. I originally got the lessons to keep my skills up while I was at university in preparation for a test I had booked at home and he was great to keep up my knowledge and help me learn to drive in an area which was totally new to me. Within one lesson we covered loads of roundabouts, junctions and tricky roads but I never felt worried at any point and he was great in supporting me as I learnt. Would really recommend Amanuel to anyone looking to learn to drive!
My driving instructor was Teklit. He was amazing - super professional and accommodating. He was very friendly and easy to talk to during the sessions. His clear instructions made it very easy to learn and I passed for the first time with only two minors. The test felt like a breeze after our mock tests. Very grateful for his support through this time. I would highly recommend him as an instructor!
Shafiq Shah - I recently passed my driving test first time with no minors and a lot of that is down to Shah’s teaching.

He has a very calm and friendly approach, explaining mistakes earlier on without making you feel pressured and giving you the space to learn from them as you’re driving. From the first lesson he gets you to drive straight away, which really helped build confidence early on. His way of breaking down manoeuvres made them easy to understand and apply. The car is also kept in excellent condition, which shows his professionalism.

I highly recommend Shafiq and MJ Driving School, especially as I originally came to the school through the recommendation myself. Thank you so much for your amazing help!!

I passed my test today with Ammanuel with only 3 minors, after failing multiple times previously when I was much younger with a different instructor. From the first lesson he put me at ease and made me feel relaxed and gradually built up my confidence behind the wheel. He helped to identify areas for improvement to get me test ready in a constructive way.

I can't recommend Ammanuel and MJ Driving School highly enough for learning to drive!
I had an excellent experience learning to drive with Bestun Abdulla. From the very first lesson, he was patient, professional, and very supportive. He explains everything clearly and makes sure you fully understand each step, which really helped me build confidence on the road.

What I really appreciated about Bestun Abdulla is how calm and encouraging he is. He always gives helpful feedback and focuses on improving your weak areas without making you feel stressed. His teaching style is very effective, and he made every lesson enjoyable while still being focused on helping me pass.

We practised a lot of real test routes, which made a big difference on the day of my test. Because of his guidance and preparation, I felt confident and ready and I passed my driving test successfully on 11th April 2026.

I highly recommend Bestun Abdulla to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and friendly driving instructor. Thank you again for your support and for helping me achieve this milestone
I passed first time with Kamran at Leeds with only 3 minors. He really helped me, recording key elements i needed to grab in my memory before my test. He was the kindest person, thank you for allocating him as my instructor. He was calm, and caring whilst chatting, he made me feel comfortable and confident. Thank you Kamran
Passed first time with Pav at Horsforth, just 1 minor. He’s a great instructor will teach you to be a good safe driver!
Naila was a great driving instructor, she ensured I got rid of all my bad habits and made my driving perfect for the test. Would highly recommend!
I would like to sincerely thank Teklit for his support and guidance. I passed the test in my first attempt and he has been very supportive and helpful throughout my lessons. Would highly recommend Teklit to everyone!
I had Mr Awale as my driving instructor and he was very patient and professional, couldn’t of asked for a better driving instructor, he helped me pass 1st time so I would definitely recommend him.
I genuinely can’t thank Bestun enough for being the best driving instructor I’ve ever had! He helped me to gain confidence and pass my test in a couple of weeks - his teaching was very calm and professional. I couldn’t have done it without him - thank you so much !!!! Could not recommend him enough 😊
Passed my driving test for the first time today with PAV. Can’t say enough good things about PAV’s instructing! He was really patient and had brilliant advice and insight! Thanks PAV
I can’t thank Teklit enough for his unwavering patience and encouragement and helping me pass first time with him! This was my second instructor and I was so nervous but immediately felt safe and at ease in the car. He is very professional and competent and I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you so much again, Teklit.
We just wanted to thank you so much for everything you have done for our daughter Charlotte, and getting her passed her driving test. She never thought this would be possible until she came to you, thank you for giving her the ability, the belief and confidence, you will never know how much this means to her and us, as her parents. It is so much more than just passing her test and was only possible due to you not only as an instructor but as someone who taught skills that she can carry through her life, we will be forever grateful to you for getting her here, in a city she didn’t know, with no family to give extra lessons and for making it so comfortable for her.
Thank you so much
Passed with Biniam a while ago, zero minors. Great instructor. Keeps things simple and reassuring.
I would highly recommend Shafik Shah as a driving instructor. I did around 15 hours of lessons around Horseforth to smooth out the edges after already preparing a lot on my own and he helped tremendously! His teaching style was the right amount of helpful while still letting me be in the driver’s seat and I believe it really helped me to pass my driving test with 1 minor. He made sure I felt safe with how I was driving and was very upfront and honest about how I could improve.

Thanks a lot Shafik!
I would recommend having lessons with Naila to EVERYONE! I've had two driving instructors before this (in a different city) and she is by far the best. She is so patient, and encouraging, and really helped to build my confidence. I passed my test this week, first time with five minors. Thank you Naila!
Had around 10 hours of refresher lessons with Shafiq and he was great. Noticed a significant improvement in my driving - more confident, more smooth in dealing with challenges on the road. Many thanks :)

My instructor, Arshed Lodhi, helped me pass my driving test in Colton on my first attempt. Arshed is a fantastic instructor: patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the learning process. It was a real pleasure learning to drive with him, and I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking about learning to drive. Thanks again, Arshed!
I had a great experience learning with Nalia. She’s patient, calm and really pays attention to what you need to improve. She made every lesson helpful, motivating and thanks to her support I passed my driving test. I’m really grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone learning to drive.
I passed today with Pav with 3 minors. Great guy and a Great teacher, would definitely recommend.
A huge thank you to Pete!

His support, knowledge and patience allowed me to gain the skills I needed to pass my test in Knaresborough.

I highly recommend Pete and I wouldn’t have passed without him.
A huge thank you to Teklit who was my instructor throughout.

He is a lovely, friendly man who showed remarkable knowledge, patience, understanding and provided easy to follow instructions and explanations. I simply would not have passed without him.

Beyond passing, the good practices he encourages has helped me now that I am on the road. Thanks so much Teklit!
I passed my test today at horsforth and I highly recommend Arshed as an instructor, he was patient, calming and friendly.

Passed with 0 faults! I did my lessons with instructor Shafiq Shah, and he taught me everything I needed to know to pass and I had really good practice and lessons with him. Throughout my time learning with Shafiq, he was always on time to lessons, honest with me and didn’t miss a thing that I would need to know to drive safely. I highly recommend Shafiq as an instructor if you want to pass!
Passed first time today with Arshed. Arshed is a great instructor - reassuring and calming, which was needed as I was quite an anxious driver to begin with.

He was great at getting me to focus on what I needed to improve on each lesson, explaining things clearly and with patience. He was also flexible with lesson times to work around my job! Fully recommend.
Shafiq Shah. Absolutely brilliant instructor! Only had 3 hours in total and I passed my test first time with only 1 minor! Absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable really helps you focus on the things you need to the most. I would recommend this instructor to anybody! Thankyou so much shaf!
Highly recommend shafiq shah as a driving instructor. He is such a kind and honest instructor. Genuinely cares and wants you to succeed. I had an intense course then a few lessons after on the run up to my test. Shafiq is always on time, very accommodating and polite. Very happy that I went with shafiq as my instructor and he taught me everything I needed to pass my test! A big thank you to shafiq. Will definitely be booking motorway lessons with him and would recommend him to any of my family/friends wanting to pass their test! πŸ˜ƒ
