I passed my driving test today after taking hundreds of lessons with different instructors. When Shak was recommended me to by a friend, I found that I had made such a big progress in my driving. Shak is a brilliant instructor who really pushes his students to achieve the best of their potential. He explains all the manouevres in a clear and simple way (Won\\\'t forget my numerous attempts at reverse around the corner!) I will also never forget his motto \\\"Always remember the simple things\\\" Thank you Shak for all your help, support and advice.

After Shak managed to teach my sister to drive I thought i\\\'d give him the challenge of then teaching me as well, and what a wonderful job he did too. Marks on the windows to make sure you can line up the parking bays and the figure of 8 steering part just made it all the better. Still remembering the \\\'fainting goat syndrome\\\' and wiggling my toes when I panic. Thank you very much for all your wonderful experte! Couldnt have done it without you xx

Shak truly is a brilliant driving instructorwho i can't recommend highly enough. His teaching method is clear and simple; I still hear his catchphrase as i drive around, "just do the simple thing!" Even though i found learning to drive very challenging and emotional at times, lessons were still thoroughly enjoyable. I never thought I'd pass but we made it in the end, and i will always be grateful for Shak's kindness and patience. xx

I was recommended Shak as an instructor by a friend and he is brilliant. I and my friend both had our driving test on the same day and we both passed on our first go. He builds up your confidence and his teaching techniques are simple but very effective. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to pass first time. Thanks shak.

Transferred to learn with Shakeel from a another instructor, and the difference was mind blowing. The way he taught each maneuver was so simple, and the way he deduced the problems in your driving were pin point accurate. Such a lovely, funny, down-to-earth guy, would absolutely reccommend to anyone! Passed today, first time with Shakeel, 1 minor!

I am writing this after a week of freedom, driving around all over the place, with a shiny new licence. I am 28 years of age, some people say if you haven't passed by then you never will - this was not the case, thanks to Shak's unique and excellent teaching methods. Do not be in any doubt, Shak is the man with the knowledge to teach you. His lessons are varied, interesting and informative. His car is extremely easy to drive. What more do you want? Currently looking forward to doing Pass Plus in the near future.

Shak is one giant Legend. I had a teacher before him who just made me so paranoid & made me feel like I was stressing her out, which stressed me out to the point where I HATED driving. Shak, however is a driving/therapist, and swapping to him was one of the best decissions ever. He puts a lot of confidence into his students, which is a big part of driving. I got home from my test about an hour ago, and with shak's help, I managed to pass with ONE MINOR. this man is a miracle worker, I never thought I could do it, and I never would have done without his help. thank you soo much!!

Shak was my 3rd driving instructor and most definately the best!! He was recommended to me by my friend Chloe and when I came to him I had a fair ammount of experience but NO confidence and didnt know the logic behind a lot of the things I was doing. Shak built my confidence enough that I passed first time! and also explained all the theory behind the driving so that it was a lot easier for me to understand what I was doing. I definately made the right choice to take my test with Shak, he has boosted my confidence and kept in touch to see how my driving is going now that I have passed and helps me out with tips every now and again - I will keep "doing the simple things"!! (Also his car is sooo nice to drive, its actually amazing!!) xx

I got recommended shak by 3 of my friends who all learnt and passed with him, i was with another instructor before and only mangaged about 3 lessons with him and lost all my confidence, but then there was shak! i was nervous on my first lesson but after a few the nerves went and every lesson was a laugh...even though he was probably laughing with fear half the time! i miss all the times he told me 'Do the simple things!' or 'DONT think about being good, just BE good!' i have recommended him to everybody because he can make anyone feel comfortable and he really boosts your confidence! i passed in about 4 months with shak first time! although i was glad i passed, i miss the lessons! Hope to see you driving along! 10 out of 10 shak! THANK YOU!!! xxx

When i first started i was really nervous but Shak put me at ease with everything and a few weeks after started i couldn't believe how far i had come!! Shak made learning to drive good fun and easy.

I truly believe that if you have low confidence whilst your driving, Shak is the man to help boost your confidence...lessons filled with fun and very helpful advice helped me overcome my nerves which wasn't an easy task let me tell you!! Even though i probably scared shak half to death with some of the things i used to do, he still kept repeating "DO the simple things" which made it a whole lot easier. When im driving along now and get stuck his words always come back to me! Two of my friends recommended him to me, and i have sung his praises to everyone else. Lovely man who's lessons i am missing..."dont try to be good, just bee good," "just DO it"!! thankyou very much shak and hope to see you around whilst im cruising along!! xxx

I was recommended Shak as an instructor by a friend and taking their advice was a really good idea! I started off with no driving experience in December and have now passed in just over 20 lessons. He helped me believe in myself as much as he did. We had a great laugh and although I was incredibly pleased I passed saying goodbye was sad. I would recommend Shak and already have done to all my friends! Fun lessons, brilliant instructor and a lovely man.

Aaah man, its the end of the road for us!! Im going to miss your black eyed peas ring tones!! As glad as i am to have passed, learning to drive with you was a laugh from beggining to end!! I would recommend this guy to everyone, especially people who feel they may get dis-heartend easily!! This guy is quality, i cant really imagine myself learning from anyone else, he finds ways to deal with problems deeper than may appear, and its a great comfort when blaming yourself or feeling down about something wrong you did because he always has an answer for everything, very smart man!! And its great that he gets annoyed at other drivers for there stupidity!! Hes a smart man with great mentallity and thinks outside the box where other instructors will not!! He is the Don Vito Corleone of driving instructors, he is The Godfather!! And when you do something, and he looks at you and smiles, dont question it, you have pleased the man, its a smile i like to call"THE SHAK SMILE"!!! Cya later buddy!!!

I came to shak because i had a rubbish instructor previously, and she really knocked my confidence. After my first lesson with shak i felt alot happier with my driving, and carried on driving with him and after a few weeks i was taking my test and i passed first time!!! wooo! I got on really well with Shak, and he made me love driving again. Every lesson was great fun and a total laugh. I am now looking in to doing my pass plus with him, as i really enjoyed my time with him, and all of my other friends that have been learning with him have enjoyed it too.. i would recommend him to everyone and anyone! have fun learning!!! ;) :) ;)

I used to think that all comments were made up- but Shaq really is an excellent instructor. His teaching methods compared to other instructors I had were straightforward and easy to understand. You can see progress being made after every lesson towards passing the test. He also managed to boost my confidence in dealing with other road users by putting me in at the deep-end. And yes, I also manged to pass my test first time around! Thanks shaq.

Shak is a brilliant instructor. He has an amazing personality which makes driving more fun! He helped me build my confidence up on the road which has really helped me find driving more relaxing when i go out on my own. Every lesson was very enjoyable. You are guaranteed to pass with Shak!
