My experience with Wayne from MJ Driving School has been a very positive one. Wayne took me through the steps slowly and patiently, allowing me to learn to drive at my own pace. With very flexible schedules I managed to fit my lessons around school and work. I couldn’t recommend Wayne enough. I managed to pass my practical exam first time with only one minor.
I had Ahmad as a driving instructor from June to December when I passed and he was patient, nice and a very good instructor who always knew where you went wrong and how to correct it.
Wow! I've just passed. I recommend Mr Habtu for patient automatic teaching!
I passed my driving test at horsforth on the 6th Dec 2022 with the help of Fish. He is a very good instructor who thought me how to drive good and not just to pass an exams. I booked him just once every week in three months even that l use to cancel most of my lessons. He is very patient and professional. Thank You Fish.
I started driving lessons with Naila not too long ago. I had 23 lessons with another instructor prior to Naila. However I still wasn’t confident with driving, I’ve done about 6-7 hours with Naila so far and I’ve noticed that I’ve gained confidence and my driving skills have got much better. Naila is very patient, good at explaining things, makes everything as simple as she can, she’s also very friendly and very welcoming. No words can possibly describe how lovely Naila is, I’m very happy having her as my instructor. I’d recommend Naila to anyone who is looking for an instructor to start lessons with, you won’t regret it!
I want to say a BIG Thanks to Fish, the only instructor l booked since l arrived in the UK. He thought me how to drive good and not just to pass an exams. l went on the road with him for just three months, which l book him once a week even sometimes l dont. l passed my Test 0n 6th December 2022 at Horsforth. Thank you FISH.
I would definitely recommend Naila from MJ driving school to anyone who is wanting to start lessons. I chose to do an intensive course and passed first time with only 2 minors after having a course of lessons over 6 weeks with Naila! I am so pleased with my results and can’t believe how fast I was able to pass! Naila was professional and friendly throughout our lessons and I have really enjoyed driving with the support of Naila. She recommended I brought a notepad to our lessons which she would draw diagrams and jot down key points to remember which benefitted me massively in my learning as I could review and revise these after each lesson. She was super friendly and her strategies and way of explaining things were clear and concise. Naila also was able to work around my uni schedule and work which was amazing! I would 100% recommend Naila from MJ driving school to anyone thinking about starting lesson! Thank you Naila!! 😊
A really anxious driver who’s been through a few instructors and not felt comfortable or reassured but Naila has really helped me and helping me build my confidence in my ability and teaching me good techniques to help me get test ready.
I passed a couple of days ago and my instructor was Naila. I have had many other instructors in the past and I’ve got to say she is really good, she thought me how to be a better and capable driver.

No instructors has ever taken their time to explain why certain things are done like that, but she really took her time to explain the reasons in order for me to also be a better driver when I get my own car.

She is flexible with hours and has never disappointed during lessons, even when I had a couple of bad days she was always kind and didn’t make me feel like I was moving backwards. Although I could drive a car before starting my lessons with Naila I was absolutely terrified of driving, but she made such a confident driver and I am so grateful for that.
So thankful to Shafiq who helped me pass my driving test first time! He was a very patient and thorough teacher and had great patience with me, taking time to explain things if I was struggling. Shafiq is very polite, punctual and professional and I can’t thank him enough for getting me through each lesson smiling, resulting in a first time pass :)
Passed my test today in Horsforth with Pav! Pav was so supportive and helped me from go from being a very (!!!) nervous driver to being able to pass second time! Can’t say thanks enough for all the patience, reassurance and laughs. I’ll take Pav’s words of wisdom with me when I’m driving independently. I honestly can’t say thanks enough - great guy and great teacher. Thanks for everything Pav!!! :-)
I honestly cannot put into words how amazing Shafiq has been over the last year and a half. I came to him for lessons after I had given up following a bad experience with an old instructor that left me scared to drive. I got the courage to go for lessons again and I couldn't have wished for a better instructor. From day one Shafiq knew how much it meant to me to gain my driving license, working for a Television Production Company, and having family in Wales that didn't drive, and a mother with disabilities, getting my licence was so important to me. Shafiq shared my dream with me, and even when times were hard and I cried in the car and wanted and give up, he didn't let me. He believed in me when I didn't believe in myself and I passed 1st time with only 1 minor! It still feels like a dream but I couldn't have done it without him. If anyone is wanting to learn to drive, Shafiq will get you through. I've stayed on for a few weeks of advance lessons with him, because I know he'll make me the best driver I can be! I'll never be able to say thank you enough Shafiq for everything, we did it!
Huge thank you to Ahmad who helped me to pass my driving test first time with only 2 minor faults!

In July, I had never been behind the wheel of a car before and I didn't have access to a parent's car to practice in whilst learning. After a few months of lessons with Ahmad I passed this week! Ahmad is a calm and attentive instructor who will always strive to make you a better driver.
An extra thank you Ahmad for getting up for the 7:13am test slot and giving me an early morning lesson the day before to practice driving in the dark!
So I had lessons between May and December 2021 but I thought I'd leave a review to say that Naila was truly a phenomenal instructor for me. She was flexible with sessions and had a concise lesson plan so I had a good idea of where I was with my driving. She taught me from being pretty much a complete beginner to passing my test which felt so surreal. She always stayed composed even in hairy situations where the average person would have been visibly mad and I'm extremely grateful to this day for that. With her, I was in safe hands. If I was struggling with a particular driving topic, she would give me extra tips or references which helped immensely. I really enjoyed my time with Naila.
Shafiq is an incredible instructor and really easy going. Makes you feel comfortable and confident. Couldn't thank him enough
Sincerely
Ben
I highly recommend to anyone who's learning to drive instructor Fish. He helped me massively, especially bringing my confidence up. He was very patient and explained things in a clear and understanding way. He's also very understanding and professional. I feel very comfortable and safe while driving through the busy streets of Leeds. Again, I strongly recommend.

I’ve passed my test today with Pav
Great instructor and great personality, wouldn’t have passed first time with anyone else
I couldn't recommend Arshad anymore as a driving instructor, he was absolutely fantastic and has a patient style that would be well suited for any student. I just passed my test today (27th September 2022) and would not have been able to do so without Arshad's help and encouragement.
Passed with only two minors thanks to Arsh's incredible teaching. We had great conversations, he covered all the material quickly and was ready to help even despite my choppy university schedule. Couldn't recommend enough!
Passed my test in Thornbury thanks to Shafiq! His motivation and belief in me to pass helped me gain confidence and I overcame the anxiety and stress I was feeling prior to starting lessons with MJ driving school. Shafiq values cleanliness, punctuality and feedback which I felt was extremely helpful! His friendliness and passion for his job allowed me to feel relaxed and comfortable during lessons and before the test and kept me calm. There has never been a second wasted in lessons with Shafiq - even at the end of the lesson he would go over every minor mistake I made so I would be sure not to repeat it. This allowed me to pass my test first time with him and I have no doubt in my mind that anybody else can do the same when taking lessons with him!
I passed my test recently with Shafiq. He is the best driving instructor I’ve had. He values cleanliness, punctuality and is very encouraging and patient. Shafiq taught me everything I needed to know and helped me get over any anxiety or worry I was having about my test. Without Shafiq I don’t think I could’ve passed in such little time but thanks to his motivation and support as well as his experience I passed smoothly!
Bob really helped me apply the knowledge learned in the driving lessons to help me pass my practical test first time today with 8 minors. He was very straight-forward and knew exactly what was needed to pass the practical test. Highly recommended!
Passed my driving test in Horsforth, with just one minor, thanks to Pav ! He was an excellent driving instructor his knowledge of the area and common test routes combined with the constant precise feedback was extremely helpful. Definitely would recommend.
Before taking lessons with ‘MJ driving school’ I felt anxious and lacked confidence. However, since doing lessons with Shar I felt comfortable and relaxed for my driving test. Although shar couldn’t be there on the morning of my test I was well prepared and had no doubt in my mind I wouldn’t pass and I did ! Shar is a well experienced and friendly instructor who I would highly recommend.
Special thanks to My instructor Lee, who always believed in me and boosted my confidence! The lessons were absolutely amazing and he never failed to make me laugh, I will definitely miss them !!
Passed yesterday in knaresborough with only five minors after just a few hours driving up there all thanks to Lee! Couldn’t thank him enough was great from start to finish massively built up my confidence, he talked me through everything I was unsure on and kept me calm even when I was nervy. Wouldn’t of asked for a better instructor.
Pav was brilliant! He helped me pass first time with 2 minors! He knows exactly what the examiners are looking for but also helps you develop driving skills to use forever. He was a great teacher and really helps you with areas you are nervous about. I couldn't recommend him enough!
Pav helped me pass today! Needed him to get me back to pass standard from a previous test, and he knew just how to tailor the lessons to make that work. Very thorough with the lessons and felt confident with Pav at my side. Would recommend MJ driving to help you get your license!
Just passed my practical test thanks to Mohammed Shafiq for such excellent guidance and also he taken me into critical points along with expected test routes which boosted more confidence, lucky I got same routes in test. He is very polite and experience instructor, definitely I would recommend.
Passed my test today with 2 minors, (a well deserved pass he said)- all thanks to my instructor Bob. Not only was he helpful in accommodating my last minute cancellation test, but he was always efficient - never a wasted lesson. From experience of previous instructors at another company, Bob was by far the best I’ve had. Nice car to learn in and clear instructions. Friendly service and easy to get along with, but most importantly patient with me when I needed it most!! Highly recommend x
* Big thanks to Fish *

I’ve had a number of driving instructors in the past, and Fish is honestly the best instructor I have ever had.

Fish is very friendly and patient. He genuinely teaches his students from the heart. I am really really glad to have had him as my driving instructor. He has given me a number of support and encouragement! Fish has professionally corrected all my bad driving habits from the past, and never ever has he shown frustration at all (Because I can be quite forgetful sometimes).

Fish is also an experienced driving instructor, and he is very familiar to all the driving test routes. He has greatly increased my confidence in driving. Thank you so much Fish!

I would highly recommend Fish to all learners!
A big shout out to Fish, I trained with Fish for about 25 hours before I took my Test and I passed with 1 Minor fault. During my 40 mins of the driving test, there was not a single mile of road that Fish had not taken me previously to practice upon. He is very soft-spoken and patient. He also is very aware of all the driving Test routes that might come on your big day. Highly recommend Fish.
I passed my driving test yesterday! Fish was my driving instructor and he is amazing. Very supportive, helped me with my confidence and improved my driving skills. I would definitely recommend Fish.
I passed my driving test yesterday! Fish was my driving instructor and he was an amazing instructor. Very supportive, helped me a lot with my driving skills and confidence. I would really recommend Fish.
Pav was my instructor. I passed first time. I was not confident before in driving. Pav is very patient and explained very detailed with me. I feel more confident now. Thanks to Pav!
Passed today after learning with Pav, cant speak highly enough about his teaching, very thorough and no stone left unturned. Great instructer
Just passed my driving test. PAV has been wonderful and very attentive to my learning and managed to help me with all my worries around driving. I would really recommend him!
Pav is excellent. Was readily available for 32 hours of intensive driving spread across 2 weeks to take me from a complete movie to ready to pass. Made the most of the time meaning quick progression and plenty of time left for practice/mock tests. Excellent teaching style using diagrams, clear explanations, constant feedback. Practice/lesson routes were identical to the test (Horsforth) - he was also available when I managed to pick up a cancellation. Cannot recommend Pav or MJ driving school enough. Cheers! Joe
I passed my test first time today thanks to Shafiq and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better driving instructor he is amazing!
I had no experience in driving manual at all and he taught me all the way up until I was test ready and was always patient with me whenever I would get frustrated or struggle on certain areas and he made sure that I was comfortable before moving onto other things. He’s always on time and takes pride in his presentation of his car, it’s always clean and tidy. He knows exactly what it is that you need to do in order to pass because he’s very experienced and passionate about his career and his pupils and he always wants the best outcome for you in your driving journey and what more can you ask for. I’m over the moon with how much he has helped me to become confident in driving manual and I cannot recommend him enough. Thanks so much Shafiq i wish you all the best!
I passed my test first time yesterday and cannot recommend Shafiq and MJ Driving School enough!
I came to Shafiq with about 25 hours of previous driving experience, and I had a test booked for 10 days after our first lesson together!
He was very accommodating and professional and told me exactly what I needed to work on to pass the test in such a short time. He knew the test very well and helped me become a more confident and competent driver.
He was always on time and communicated well between lessons. He explained things clearly and in great detail which helped me a lot. He's very passionate about his career and really wants you to succeed so he makes sure to cover all areas, even in such a short period of time like with me.
Cannot recommend him enough, thank you again for all your help!
Pav has been a great instructor throught my learning, he provides consistant feedback and easy to understand explanations. He prepared me exellently to pass my test !
Pav is a top instructor, he gives constant feedback whilst you’re driving so when it comes to the test you’re so precise.

Pav is my 3rd instructor over the years and I can’t recommend him enough.
I passed my driving test at Harehills/Leeds for the first time yesterday (6th June 2022), after having lessons with Fish since the end of March. He advised two x 1.5 hour lessons a week and I think this helped me progress quickly.

I am 32, so learning to drive a bit later than some! As such, I chose to learn in an automatic car (also because my husband’s car happens to be automatic, so this made sense). As I am a parent, I just wanted to get on with it and learn quickly and I didn’t have to worry about gears! I was quite nervous to start with, but Fish has been excellent and taught me the very basics, as well as many tips and steps to complete manoeuvres safely.

Fish has always been professional, friendly and put me at ease from the get-go. He was always on time for our lessons. I felt I was learning and progressing with each lesson, even when I felt I wasn’t ‘getting it’ and would have a ‘bad’ lesson where I’d make mistakes. He would always explain the error with patience and reassurance and we would try again. He would also test my theory and ask questions about the roads, safety etc.

I would absolutely recommend MJ Driving School to anybody learning to drive — and Fish for automatic driving lessons. There is absolutely no shame in learning automatic if that works for you and it doesn’t make you any less of a driver.
After having a bad experience with my first instructor I started learning with Pav. He was extremely patient, put me at ease and made me confident on the roads. I passed today and couldn’t recommend him enough!
After my previous driving instructor stopped teaching in Leeds I was nervous to find a new one, but I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor than Shafiq! I passed first time with only one minor thanks to all of his help. He is really patient and professional, highly recommend! His teaching method clearly works and taught me to feel confident in my ability to drive. You can tell he really wants the best for his students and is very invested in your driving journey. Super trustworthy and kind! Highly highly highly recommend!!
Thanks to Craig I passed 1st time. Was really helpful with helping me learn to drive, always on time and gives clear, easy to understand instructions. I was very nervous too but he gave me the confidence I needed to succeed, would definitely recommend, great guy.
Thanks to Arshad Lodhi, my driving instructor for helping and supporting me get my licence. I passed with just one minor mistake. I would not have done it without him. He was very nice and patient throughout my time with him. Thanks for giving me the confidence to drive, for putting up with me and for making me a competent driver. I am now a confident Parallel driver!!
Taken me 12 years to finally pass on the third time, and finally found Pav as an instructor who got me a pass with 2 minors! Not only that he actually taught me how to drive safely. Can’t recommend him enough - bloody lovely guy to boot.
I took driving lessons with Naila and I am very happy to say that I passed first time with only 2 minors! After putting driving lessons off for years, I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor than Naila who made me feel at ease from the very first lesson. Her level of teaching is amazing for all types of learners using verbal and visual aids to thoroughly explain the ins-and-outs of driving, and keeping a note of each lesson for a brief reminder the following lesson of any re-occurring mistakes that need to be corrected. Also, Naila’s organisation really helped me feel prepared and confident for my test, nothing was ever done last-minute, and she was always on-time!
Her patience with me over the last few months has been incredible as she has been extremely accommodating around my other commitments making sure that she could always fit me in for a two-hour lesson each week! Not only this, she is kind, caring and funny - I really enjoyed my driving lessons which is an experience I never thought I would have!
If you are considering taking driving lessons in the Leeds area, I would highly recommend learning with Naila from MJ Driving School - affordable, reliable and enjoyable.
Thank you so much Naila for all your hard work!
I'm very happy to have passed my driving test first time this morning!
My instructor, Shafiq, prepared me well for the test and was a great instructor all-round. He was able to give me lessons which fit around my busy, changing work schedule and was always on time.
I also appreciated that Shafiq respected the COVID guidelines and took the health and safety of myself and his other students seriously.
I had no driving experience when I first started lessons, so Shafiq did a good job of being patient and professional.
Thank you for all your help!
