Thanks to Javid I passed today with only four driving faults, with only 18 Hours of lessons on the books. Could not have asked for any better, reliable, meticulous and most of makes the lessons enjoyable, creating a positive outlook to driving as a whole. Would recommend anyone to learn with Javid regardless of confidence and ability. All round brilliant experience.

Javid is an exceptional driving instructor. He is patient, welcoming, and meets the needs of his pupils. When I initially began taking lessons, I was over confident about my driving and thought I knew all the rules. Javid's approach to me was humble and polite, and taught me a lot more than I thought I knew. With his help and support, I managed to pass my test first time in 16 hours. I recommend Driving for Life to anyone who wants to be taken seriously and pass first time.

I took my first lesson when my driving instructor (jav) was 3 years of age. After. Many years and different instructors over different areas I finally passed on my 7th attempt (1st time with driving for life driving school) all thanks to jav and his effective teaching techniques. He quickly picked up what I need to improve on and dug in. He wastes no time and makes sure you learn. He is always on time very flexible and unlike my other driving instructors he is very patient understanding and the best in his job as a driving instructor. Would recommend to everyone taking driving lessons Nottingham. Thank you jav.
