My experience with Nitin as a driving instructor has been great. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor than him, he gives you the confidence to drive in the right way. He pushes you to always do your best even when you are doubting yourself. And always had fun in my lessons because he's a great guy.

Passed my driving test first time! Salah was a brilliant Instructor, always supportive, patient and as a learner I built my confidence up a lot quickly. His style of teaching was super easy to understand which definitely helped me every step of the way. I felt completely at ease in all my lessons, very calm presence and friendly. He explains everything clearly whilst making sure you understand.
I was impressed since the beginning aways reassuring and encouraging throughout. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. He covered everything I needed help in and absolutely recommend him to all.

I passed my test thanks to an amazing driving instructor Sabina. She was super patient with me and made me feel confident in myself whilst driving. Sabina have honest feedback and was so great in helping me correct the little mistakes. I'm going to miss my lessons with her greatly. Honestly couldn't have done it without her. Would recommend Sabina and YDA any day!

Where to start. wow! My experience with YDA was incredible. My instructor, Ismail, was extremely helpful and considerate I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. He helped me build my confidence and progress in my driving which lead me to pass FIRST TIME with ZERO faults with only 17 lessons. I appreciate everything my instructor and YDA has done for me. I highly recommend YDA to anyone learning to drive it is an experience you will not regret

I simply don't have words that can describe and pay gratitude to my amazing instructor Rana enough. He is absolutely professional, patient and ensures to fine tune your areas of weaknesses. I have been lucky to have him as my instructor and thankful to him for transforming me into a confident driver on the road. I have passed my exam and truly enjoyed entire experience of learning. Respect to you for making this dream possible into reality

It was an awesome feeling when i passed my driving test in a first time and it's just because of Naeem sir. His easy way of teaching will make you feel confident. He was my 2nd instructor and changing my first instructor between my running lessons proved to be a right decision. Thank you your great service.

Fantastic driving academy! My instructor Ehtesham is an amazing teacher. He was always calm and measured and gave great advice. Whenever I made a mistake, he never got angry and always gave constructive feedback that helped me to improve. With Your Driving Academy's lessons I managed to pass first time. Highly recommended!

Naeem is a very brilliant and intelligent driving instructor, whose expertise made it possible for me to pass my test at first attempt with just one drivers fault. He is very patient with clear instructions, which helped me in gaining a lot of confidence. I will highly recommend him to anyone wishing to pass their driving test at their first attempt.

Naeem Iqbal - The Reliable Instructor Someone referred me to take classes from Naeem Iqbal and it turned out to be one of the best referrals I received. He guided me and trained me in a very efficient and graceful way. He was very patient and understanding at all times. He believed and saw the skills in me even when I didn't believe in myself. He trained me so well that i cleared my test in first attempt. I will be always grateful to him and for sure will recommend others to take classes from him as well.

I passed my driving test with my Instructor ,Liliana. She is an excellent
instructor, very patient and dedicated, will always prioritise you and make time especially close to the exams. Every class I had was truly enjoyable and she ensures you are confident enough to the take the exam. Also, she makes its a stress free environment. She will make you repeat and practice a mistake many times until you get it right with tremendous amount of patience.
My personal weakness was the roundabout, and we practiced XX no of times repeated until I was confident. That made me very confident and happy having her as an instructor. I highly recommend her as an instructor. Worth every penny and reasonably priced.

I was a new driver never been on the roads before started in February 2020 and due to Covid my lessons got delayed but I passed with the first time of me trying today with your driving academy. Consistent informative lessons, with instructors always willing to help, friendly environment at all times and whatever level of driver you currently are this company will definitely find an instructor help you get that pass.
Big Shoutout to Moin who was my instructor throughout, never been with any other instructor since I started learning but honestly he is the best instructor in the UK and deserves all the accolades there are to give. Will be recommending him and Your Driving Academy to anyone trying to learn how to drive and pass their test in Leicester!

Recently had the best learning experience with Sabina, she’s one of the best instructors out here who go by your pace and ensure you pass your first time round! Always on time and always a pleasure to be around! Lessons are in depth and her way of explaining and demonstrating gets straight to the point. Overall recommend Sabina 100%! Will miss those driving lessons, she also adapts to your timings which is a major plus point

Wonderful experience using Your Driving Academy and Driving Instructor Ilir. I went from having no driving experience and being nervous to drive... to a first time pass in 25 hours. Ilir took me through at the pace he felt I was picking it up, and identified areas that I was less confident in to practise. Highly recommended for anyone looking. Thanks!

Would absolutely recommend YDA. My instructor Sabina has been so patient and motivating throughout my lessons. I felt I could never drive but she is an excellent instructor and helped me pass my test in the very first attempt. She was honest and very professional and made sure I was 100% ready for the test. Thank you so much YDA and especially Sabina!

Had been driving for years with different people but with this driving academy was the best choice I made to take lessons. Especially taking lessons with Sajid who helped me so much with everything until I got everything right and perfect! Really thankful for taking his time and being patient with me until everything became so easy and passed! Would highly recommend anyone this driving academy and also Sajid to take lessons from!

Really good driving academy and I had a great instructor. Sajid was an amazing instructor who put me at ease from the first lesson and was really easy to get on with!! After needing to find a new instructor Sajid gave me as many lessons as I needed and gave me what suited me. He thought me everything in a short period of time and I passed first time with one minor. I highly recommend if you use YDA go with sajid for your lessons

Had the BEST experience with Your Driving Academy - My instructor was Moin and he was the BEESST instructor to learn from - couldn’t recommend him enough! Enjoyed every lesson with Moin, he was very patient and explained everything in such detail! Managed to pass on my second attempt today and that’s all thanks to him

I would recommend YDA to everyone. It has been an absolute pleasure learning with my Instructor Salah. He is a lovely instructor, who made me feel very confident throughout. He is very patient and discussed and explanation the weakness after each lesson, which made the process so much faster & made me overcome those weaknesses in such a short period of time. Salah is very reliable and understanding person. It was a pleasure learning driving with Salah. Thank you once again for teaching me in such a great way, which led to passing my test so quickly.

I really wanted to recommend this driving academy because of the positive experience I had with them. I took lessons from Moin, whose lessons were very informative and he was quite patient with some of my bad driving habits. I was able to pass first time with few minors. Also, some of the lessons focused on practicing the test routes and that really helped make a difference. Hope you guys find this useful.
