Just passed my test with Nitin Rana, an extremely knowledgeable and friendly instructor. He's great at building confidence and knows a lot about local test routes, tricky junctions etc.. Great instructor and great person overall. Would recommend.

Assma was a great driving instructor, she really helped me work on my confidence and was patient with me, guiding me through my mistakes, helping me to improve. I couldn’t recommend her enough and couldn’t have done it without her!

Amazing instructor and great clean new car, helped me learn in very little time. Passed first time with little mistakes.

Nihal is an exceptional driving instructor! Her patient and kind approach made learning to drive a positive experience. She was incredibly helpful, providing clear and effective guidance that helped me pass my test with only 2 minor faults. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable instructor. After I passed my test I could see she was genuinely so proud and happy for me which was so nice to see.

If you are looking for a driving instructor, this is the best one out there. She was very helpful and helped my mum pass her driving test. She answered all questions my mum had and she was always empathetic and compassionate. She was very flexible with the timing and she would always accomodate any needs my mom had. My mums first language is not english, and although this was the case she could still communicate efficiently as the instructor was very patient. The prices she charges are affordable and very worth the service. Overall best intructor in leicester, definitely one to choose!

Passed my test today! 🎉 Huge thanks to YDA for sorting everything out and matching me with such a great instructor. Big shoutout to Nitin – honestly couldn’t have asked for better. He put in so much effort, was always patient, and made lessons actually enjoyable. Really helped me stay calm and confident, even when I was stressing. Appreciate all the hard work! Highly recommend YDA and Nitin to anyone learning to drive.

I can't recommend Nitin highly enough! Thanks to his calm and supportive teaching style, I passed my driving test on the first attempt. From the very first lesson, he made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. His knowledge is excellent and he always had helpful tips and clear explanations that really made a difference.

Not only were the lessons informative, but we always had a laugh along the way, which made learning to drive so much more enjoyable and less stressful. I felt well prepared, not just for the test but for driving independently afterwards.

If you're looking for a patient, professional, and skilled instructor who also makes the experience fun, look no further!

Thank you so much!

I’m very thankful to my instructor Hassan for helping me pass my test today. he’s been a very calm and encouraging instructor and throughout our lessons he’s made me more confident with driving. definitely recommend.

Took my driving test today for the first time and passed, my instructor was Hassan all his lessons were clear and concise and I felt that they were tailored to my learning style. I would definitely recommend he’s great.

Beyond her excellent teaching skills, Nihal is genuinely a lovely person. Our lessons always felt relaxed, and we'd often have a good chat, which made the time fly by. She was always punctual, professional, and went above and beyond to fit lessons around my schedule, I not only passed my driving test with confidence but also feel like a safe and capable driver.
If you're looking for a supportive, patient, and highly effective driving instructor, who is amazing at her job look no further! She is honestly one of the nicest people I have met.

I passed my driving test today with Hassan he is honestly one of the best instructors out there I previously struggled with driving but after learning with Hassan I became confident and relaxed on the road.

I had my lessons with Hassan and he did an amazing job at getting me prepared for the test day, which I passed first time with only one minor fault. He explained everything in good detail and went the extra step to provide examples/Google Maps view. Would definitely recommend him and YDA

I had a delightful experience today during my driving test. PASSED ON 1ST ATTEMPT. Highly Recommend Mr.Hassan – A Brilliant Driving Instructor!

I had a tight deadline to pass my UK driving test, as I had limited validity on my international driving license. Thankfully, I started my lessons with Mr.Hassan from YDA, during April, and I couldn’t have made a better choice.

From the very first session, Mr. Hassan conducted a thorough assessment of my driving—pinpointing both my strengths and the areas that needed improvement. With just 5 classes and one mock test, he efficiently covered all the critical elements: test routes, maneuvers, and tricky road sections.

Since I already had prior driving experience, Hassan focused on the subtle but essential aspects that often cause learners to fail—like mirror checks, positioning, and anticipating hazards. His approach was clear, focused, and tailored exactly to what I needed.

What stood out the most was his support at the test centre. He offered crucial last-minute tips and guidance that really made a difference. Thanks to Mr.Hassan’s expert coaching, I passed my test on the first attempt—with only two minor faults!

Thank you, Mr. Hassan, for your exceptional instruction and support. You are a fantastic instructor, and I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone preparing for their driving test!

SABINA!
You have been the BEST & most UNDERSTANDING instructor anyone could have. You have been so patient with me, even on days I wanted to give up you didn’t let me and have been confident in me every lesson even when I just needed to rant or was having a bad day, you made sure I was still focused and getting everything nailed. Never did I think I would pass first time, but you believed in me!!!

I would highly recommend Sabina to anyone looking to drive an automatic she is such a great person & easy to learn from. My confidence in my driving and being on the road is 1000x better from where I was at day 1 which I never ever realistically thought would happen.

A big big thank you Sabina.

I’m incredibly grateful to my instructor, Assma, for her patience, kindness, and excellent teaching. She has a calm and encouraging manner that really helped build my confidence on the road.

Assma explains everything clearly and thoroughly, always making sure I understand each step before moving on. Her support made a huge difference, and I truly felt prepared and at ease on the day of my test.

Thank you, Assma, for being such a wonderful instructor—I couldn’t have asked for better!
