Real reviews from students who learned to drive in East London
“Amazing experience with driving instructor Abdul Qayyum, literally the best driving instructor you could ever have. Anyone in East London and nearby areas, there's only one person you need to go to for driving lessons!”
Hamzah Mohamed
“A huge thanks to M Abdul Qayyum for all his help during my lessons, he was extremely patient with me and took his time to explain where I was uncertain and help develop me as a driver. Thanks to his efforts I was able to pass with 0 faults. I highly recommend to anyone looking to get their manual licence.”
yusuf rahim
“Passed my driving test with 2 minors at Loughton thanks to Rufsana, who is incredibly professional and experienced in what she does. She ensured I was confident in what I was learning before I moved onto the next topic and boosted my confidence massively, and is overall a lovely person:)”
