Review for Driving Instructor Heshmat

I recently had the pleasure of learning to drive with Heshmat as my driving instructor, and I must say that he is an exceptional instructor. From the very beginning of my driving journey, Heshmat made me feel at ease and comfortable behind the wheel. His friendly and patient demeanour instantly put me at ease, and he always ensured that I progressed at my own pace.
One of the qualities that stood out about Heshmat was his professionalism and dedication to his students. He believed in my abilities even when I doubted myself, and that constant support and encouragement played a significant role in helping me gain confidence as a driver. Heshmat took the time to understand my weaknesses and tailored the lessons to focus on improving those areas, which ultimately led to my success in passing my driving test on my first attempt.
Throughout the learning process, Heshmat made sure that I not only learned the technical aspects of driving but also imbibed valuable life lessons. He taught me the importance of letting go of fears and anxieties, which was instrumental in making me a confident driver on the road. I genuinely enjoyed the entire experience of learning to drive under his guidance, and it's all thanks to his professionalism and dedication that I now feel prepared to take on any driving challenge that comes my way.
In addition to his exceptional teaching skills, Heshmat's flexible approach to scheduling lessons was commendable. He accommodated lessons at short notice, which was incredibly helpful and considerate. His commitment to his students is truly commendable, and I always felt that he genuinely cared about my progress and success on the road.
Overall, learning to drive with Heshmat was an amazing experience. He is not only an excellent instructor but also a kind-hearted and lovable person. His sense of humour and patience helped me overcome my nervousness and build my confidence as a driver. I cannot imagine having learned to drive with anyone else, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of driving lessons. Thank you, Heshmat, for being an incredible instructor and making my driving journey so memorable and successful.

Heshmat is an extraordinary instructor

Heshmat is an extraordinary driving instructor, and I cannot praise him enough for helping me pass my driving test! His expertise, patience, and encouragement were instrumental in building my confidence behind the wheel. From day one, Heshmat tailored the lessons to my individual needs, identifying areas where I needed improvement and providing constructive feedback.

His teaching style is remarkable; he effortlessly combines a friendly demeanor with a professional approach, making each lesson enjoyable and productive. Heshmat's vast knowledge of road rules and safe driving practices instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility as a driver.

His unwavering support and belief in my abilities never wavered, even during challenging moments. Thanks to his guidance, I not only passed my driving test but also gained valuable skills that will serve me for a lifetime.

I wholeheartedly recommend Heshmat to anyone seeking a driving instructor who is not only committed to your success but also genuinely cares about your development as a safe and responsible driver. Thank you, Heshmat, for being an exceptional mentor and making this journey such a positive experience!

Good instructor!

Maruf was a great driving instructor that led to me passing first time at Coventry test centre. He took the time to understand where I needed to develop my skills and worked that into his plan for each lesson. He was professional, communicated well and remained flexible with lesson timings. Happy to recommend him to anyone.

With Guidelines Driving School

With Guidelines Driving School, I successfully passed my driving test this past Thursday. I am especially grateful to Maruf for his unceasing support and thorough explanations of the scenarios. Throughout our lessons, Maruf made sure I was feeling confident and trusting. Maruf helped by highlighting typical errors and providing thorough explanations of how to fix them. I would definitely recommend Guidelines Driving School to new learners who want to obtain a UK licence as well as enhance their competence as drivers.

Great teacher!

My driving instructor (Maruf) was kind, professional, patient and always encouraged me to stay calm and do my best. He allowed me to book in lessons early in the day/in evenings which was helpful. I was so anxious about my driving test but Maruf was really reassuring. Thank you so much for helping me pass my driving test!

What an amazing experience I had with…

What an amazing experience I had with guidelines driving school! I couldn't have done better with any, I joined this school having had over 20 lessons with another driving instructor and took a mock because I thought I was ready for an exam, guess what? I was not. The mock ended up being a lesson on its own and I knew I had to get back to learn what my previous instructor didn't teach me. I am proud to say I have a driving licence through guidelines driving because if not for the professionalism, easy to understand coaching and dedication to help me get the concept I wouldn't have had it in 10 lessons. Guidelines driving school is the best👌.

It was a wonderful experience

It was a wonderful experience. My instructor Mr Masjidi was very professional and understanding. I was fortunate to get him as my instructor. He helped me to understand common mistakes and he was patient, pleasant and knowledgeable about all things. Now i feel much confident and competent as a driver thanks to his guidance. Would definitely recommend learning with Guidelines Driving School.

Heshmat, a driving instructor that can be your friend

Heshmat, my brother. You are the only reason, I am able to write this review today passing the exam in one go with just 4 minors. You have been really patient with me and taught me all the correct rules. You really made sure that I get all the routes and rules clear in my head before I could proceed with another thing. Your patience is really the key here. The best part is you exactly knew where one could fail, so really made sure I knew all the things beforehand. And lastly, your voice is so much clear that ex-pats like me can find it very easy to understand you. Thank you again and may God bless you. Keep doing the amazing work.

Maruf of Guidelines Driving School is an incredible instructor. Did a few hours with him last minute to test date. I wasn’t quite confident before taking lessons with him and it literally took me less than a week with him to be test ready and I passed my test. I highly recommend him to any learner who want to learn exactly how to pass their test.
