He's the best driving instructor I've had. Passed my test today after two fails with previous instructors. Calm and patient!

After a bad experience with another instructor, Abu Isa got me back on track. Struck the perfect balance between focused and fun. After a bad first experience with another instructor, Abu Isa got me back on track. My previous instructor at another school had a lot of empty words about building my confidence and going at my own pace etc, but would put me down and patronise me instead. Luckily I had Isa recommended to me who actually did do that, and got through the rest of my lessons in a way that struck the balance between keeping it focussed but also fun. Genuinely great guy who knows his stuff inside out and is great at adapting to your needs, and really good teaching materials too. Highly recommended!
