I passed my driving test first time with Raj (manual)!!! Raj is a very good instructor and was recommended to me by family who had passed with him too. I started off as a very nervous driver and have since become more confident enabling me to pass with 40 hours of lessons first time. Overall great instructor and would recommend.

Not me but my Daughter
Not me but my Daughter
Not informed by either the instructor or driving school that they had cancelled her the day before the TEST!!
Doesn't matter whatever the reason but to NOT inform is disgraceful. Do yourselves a favour and go independently absolutely would not reccomend this company- obviously very poor communication skills!

Amazing instructor and driving school
Contacted smart learner because my theory was coming up to expiry and I had 2 months to get enough lessons in with the hope of passing before this. They allocated me to Angrej Thakar and I am so glad they did. He was supportive, always helpful and explained things clearly. I had little hope I would do it due to a previous instructor from a different company but Angrej was amazing. I managed to pass my test after only 16 hours with him. I genuinely had the best instructor and I’m so thankful I passed. Biggest Thankyou to him and thankyou to smart learner for getting me booked with an instructor so quick and efficiently

Review of driving instructor Muhammad
I passed my manual driving test first time with Muhammad Mateen. I highly recommend him as he is calm, patient and provides you with clear guidance throughout lessons. He is very friendly and reassuring and I recommend that new learners should book with him.

Passed first time!
I passed my test on 13 October thanks to Kasim! Although I’ve been driving for 16 years in the states, Kasim really helped me to fully understand UK roads. He helped me break old habits and form new ones in order to help me pass my test first time and with zero faults!
Thank you so much Kasim!

I started automatic driving lessons with Diana in May 2025 and I passed first time in October! Diana was an absolutely amazing instructor who actually became a great friend! Diana is very professional, calm and gives clear instructions during lessons. Diana never failed to make me feel relaxed as someone who was extremely nervous! I would recommend Diana to anyone who is thinking of learning to drive in an automatic vehicle! Cannot thank her enough for the help and support she gave me!

I passed my test a few weeks ago
I passed my test a few weeks ago. Mohammed Farukh Khan was my instructor and he was the best. Taught me everything thoroughly and made sure to correct my silly mistakes. Mohammed made me feel confident to pass my test so I wasn’t ridiculous nervous on the day. He’s hilarious and down to earth which I feel is key. It’s important to feel comfortable and be able to have a laugh in my opinion and he ticked those boxes too. So happy to have had him as my instructor. Thankyou Mo ❤️
