Cambridge Driving Academy Reviews 

Excellent instructors (Sab and Asif). Highly recommended place to learn driving ..Thankyou once again for the quick response from academy .

I just passed my test with CDA! A massive thank you to Mr Nori who helped me quickly adjust to driving in Cambridge, and helped me iron out some bad habits too in a short amount of time. A great instructor!

The best instructor mr safi… I’m very thankful for best instruction… I’m happy for choosing CDA. Good communication, good teaching.. everything is perfect.

Couldn’t recommend Ramona highly enough!

I initially took most of my lessons with an instructor from another Cambridge-based company, who unfortunately cancelled on me just three days before my test due to a car issue he had actually known about for weeks. When I then managed to get a cancellation, he refused to rearrange a lesson to fit me in which meant I once again had to cancel (so all in all, a great guy!)

After a long wait for a new test date, I started taking lessons with Ramona from CDA and passed on the first go! She was absolutely incredible. Not only is she super reliable, but the quality of her instruction was also on a whole other level. I learned so much in just a few lessons and genuinely feel like a far better driver thanks to her. Ramona explains everything clearly and logically (I finally understand reverse parking!), and she’s also kind, patient, and encouraging. I have no doubt I would have passed ages ago if she’d been my instructor from the start!

Exceptional Driving Instructor – Thank You, Ozcan! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I passed my driving test today, and I couldn’t have done it without the outstanding guidance and support of my instructor, Ozcan. From the very first lesson, he was calm, professional, and genuinely committed to helping me improve and succeed. He has a remarkable ability to put you at ease and build your confidence, even on the most challenging days.

Ozcan’s teaching style is clear, patient and methodical. He explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand, helping you to grasp not just the ‘how’ but the ‘why’ behind every manoeuvre. Each lesson was well-structured, focused, and tailored to what I needed most.

What I appreciated most was his kindness and steady encouragement throughout the learning process. He creates a positive atmosphere that makes learning to drive feel achievable and even enjoyable.

I couldn’t recommend Ozcan more highly. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive, he’s absolutely the one to go with. Thank you so much, Ozcan!

I am absolutely thrilled to write this review for my incredible driving instructor, Reza. Thanks to his exceptional guidance, I passed my driving test on my first attempt with only one minor fault!

Reza is incredibly professional and genuinely helpful. His teaching methods are remarkably effective, no matter your prior driving experience – whether you're a complete rookie or have some background, he adapts his approach to ensure you grasp everything.

Lessons with Reza were always a joy. He's full of humor, making the learning process fun and engaging, which really helps to ease any nerves. What truly sets him apart is his calm demeanor, even when mistakes happen (in contrast, some instructors in Cambridge shout at you if you are a bit close to kerbs). Instead of getting flustered, he'll calmly ask you to pull up on the left, then patiently and clearly explain the mistake, its cause, and crucially, how to avoid it next time. He uses his tablet and dash camera for these explanations, providing an invaluable visual aid that many other instructors in Cambridge simply don't utilize effectively. This verbal-visual learning approach is brilliant!

His mock tests are incredibly useful, setting challenges that not only prepare you perfectly for the actual driving test but also for the complexities of real-life driving. I took about 12 lessons/sessions with Reza and felt completely confident heading into my test. As I told him, if Reza feels you are ready, you are bloody ready!

If you're looking for a top-tier driving instructor who is patient, effective, and makes learning to drive an enjoyable experience, look no further than Reza. He's simply the best!

I cannot thank Elnara enough for helping me pass my driving test on the first try! From day one, she was patient, supportive, and incredibly skilled at explaining everything clearly. Her calm and encouraging teaching style gave me the confidence I needed behind the wheel. Elnara tailored each lesson to focus on areas I needed to improve and never made me feel rushed or stressed.

If you're looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and truly dedicated driving instructor, look no further than Elnara. She genuinely cares about her students' success, and I feel so lucky to have learned from her. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to pass with confidence

A MASSIVE thank you to Sab who instructed me in the run up to my test! I had tried multiple instructors in the past and none had the patience and skill that Sab did! I honestly wouldn’t have passed or overcome my nerves without him so thank you Sab and CDA!! :)

My experience learning with Asif at CDA was nothing short of outstanding. He embodies all the qualities of an ideal instructor—patient, knowledgeable, and deeply dedicated to his students’ success.

1. Keen Eye for Improvement & Expert Guidance: Asif has an incredible ability to identify even the slightest mistakes in my driving technique. With years of experience as a seasoned bus driver, he possesses an in-depth understanding of traffic rules, Cambridge’s road networks, and advanced driving skills. His sharp observation and precise feedback were invaluable—he not only corrected errors I was unaware of but also reinforced areas where I lacked confidence. His suggestions were always practical and effective, helping me refine my skills quickly.

2. Personalised & Well-Structured Lessons: What truly impressed me was Asif’s meticulous attention to my progress. Despite having many students, he remembered every detail from our previous lessons and tailored each session to my needs. He provided a clear, logical plan for every class, ensuring my learning journey was both consistent and efficient. Additionally, he shared real-life examples of common mistakes made by other learners, which helped me anticipate and react to different road situations more wisely.

3. Thoughtful, Supportive & Beyond Expectations: Asif went above and beyond to support me throughout my learning process. He used various tools—such as bus/taxi models, road diagrams, and mock test sheets—to explain complex scenarios in an easy-to-understand way. Whenever I needed to reschedule or required extra lessons before my test, he proactively adjusted his schedule to accommodate me. On the day of my test, he even offered words of encouragement and a heartfelt prayer, giving me the confidence to pass!

Reflecting on my journey, I’m filled with immense gratitude for Asif’s guidance. His expertise, dedication, and kindness made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier driving instructor!

I did my driving lessons with Mr. Asif at CDA and successfully passed my driving test today. He was patient, professional, and always clear in his instructions. Mr. Asif helped build my confidence and ensured I was fully prepared for the test. At times, he was strict but always in a way that helped me improve and stay focused. He also prayed for my success and supported me throughout the entire process. I am very thankful to Mr.Asif for his continued support and guidance. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and experienced driving instructor in Cambridge

I recently passed my driving test, and I owe it all to Mr. Asif from CDA. He is truly a kind-hearted, honest, and dedicated instructor—an outstanding example of what every driving trainer and examiner should be. From the very first lesson, he made me feel confident and supported, patiently guiding me through every step with professionalism and encouragement.

What sets Mr. Asif apart is not just his excellent teaching skills, but his genuine care for his students. On the day of my test, he even prayed for my success—and I genuinely believe I passed because of his support, both technically and spiritually.

If you're looking for a driving instructor who goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Mr. Asif. He’s more than a teacher—he’s a mentor and a true blessing. Thank you, sir, for everything!

Ozcan was my driving instructor, and he was great, incredibly patient with me especially at the start and always letting me know what areas to focus on, we worked on everything step by step to make sure I fixed any mistakes and could handle any situation. Highly recommend him as a teacher! I took as many lessons as we felt were necessary, and passed my exam first try.
