I had a great experience learning with Zeba. I already hold an EU licence, but adapting to driving in the UK was quite challenging at first, especially getting used to the road rules and left-hand traffic. Zeba explained everything clearly and helped me build confidence quickly.
Thanks to her guidance, I now feel comfortable driving on UK roads, including handling roundabouts and adjusting to driving on the left-hand side. She is always punctual, professional, and reliable. I also really appreciated that she didn’t require advance payment for lessons, which made the whole process much less stressful. I would highly recommend her.

I had my driving test today and passed, and a lot of that comes down to Mr Shah. In just a few weeks, he helped me improve my driving quickly and focus on the areas that actually mattered for the test.
He’s friendly and easy to get along with, but also gives clear and honest feedback, which made a big difference. Lessons were always structured and useful, and I felt more confident each time.
Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable driving instructor.

It was great. Zeba is a great teacher, she helped me a lot to get less stressed when there is a lot of traffic. She also speaks german, that helps me because i‘m from austria and my english is not that good. Really calm teacher, with lots of passion in it. She teaches you everything really good. Passed with the 1st attempt. Thank you!! 🙂

I had an excellent experience with Zeba. We completed 6 hours of refresher lessons together, and she covered everything thoroughly, including crossroads, mini roundabouts, big roundabouts, junctions, and parking. Thanks to her clear guidance and structured approach, I now feel much more comfortable and confident on the road. Zeba is calm, patient, and very friendly, which made each lesson enjoyable and stress-free.
It was truly a pleasure learning with her, and I would highly recommend Zeba to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable driving instructor.

I had 2 driving lessons with Shaz, and unfortunately both were very negative experiences. Throughout all of our interactions, he was very rude and dismissive.
In my first lesson, I told him that I learn better when I understand how things work, for example by following the MSPSL. He told me I should just follow his instructions and didn’t take the time to explain anything. He was very dismissive of my questions and kept telling me to calm down whenever I asked something.
In my second lesson, I was driving confidently but still getting used to things, as I’ve only had a few lessons. He kept raising his voice at me and telling me to calm down every few minutes. Despite multiple attempts to explain that I need a calm environment while I’m driving, it became too much and I had to pull over and ask him to stop shouting, as it was distracting and stressing me out.
He then became very aggressive and said I shouldn’t accuse him of shouting. He told me that he’s the instructor and I’m the student, so I should just do as I’m told and calm down. I explained that this approach doesn’t work for me, and that being told to calm down like that actually makes me more anxious, not less. He then became angry, told me to get out of the car, cancelled the remainder of my lesson, and said I should find another instructor.
This was a very upsetting experience. I believe his behaviour was unprofessional and unnecessarily aggressive. I have had driving lessons in the past and have never been treated this way, especially for simply asking not to be shouted at.

Today, I passed my test at Tolworth on my second attempt with only 2 minors. I can't recommend Zeba enough, she was incredibly supportive. Before her, I had 2 instructors but never felt confident while driving. She helped me build my confidence and taught me how to stay safe on the roads. I used to be scared of roundabouts, but she supported me and helped me make my own decisions and judgments. Highly recommended 🙂

Having lessons with Zeba was a truly enjoyable experience. She is friendly, attentive to her students' needs, and dedicated to helping you improve. She employs various teaching techniques and consistently seeks the best approach for each individual. Thanks to her guidance, I not only learned how to drive but also became a confident and safe driver. Highly recommended for those who want to enjoy the lessons.

I had such a great experience learning with Arifa. After a negative experience with a previous instructor, I had lost a lot of confidence being behind the wheel. Arifa was incredibly patient, supportive, and really helped rebuild my confidence from the start.
She explains things clearly and made sure I truly understood the rules of the road rather than just memorising them. Her teaching style is calm, encouraging, and very thorough, which made a huge difference in my learning.
Thanks to her guidance and support, I passed my driving test! I’m so grateful for everything she taught me and would highly recommend Arifa to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and encouraging driving instructor.

I recommend Mr. Shah as an effective instructor. He is one of the most experienced tutors in the area, he has lots of helpful tips and he is punctual. His patient and encouraging approach creates a suitable learning environment, and he explains each concept clearly. His instruction and guidance played a key role in helping me pass my test on my second attempt (the first attempt was with a different instructor).

Honestly Shah is the best driving instructor I’ve ever had, calm, patient, punctual allowed me to pass first time with only one minor at Tolworth (less than 10 hours). He didn’t allow me to overpay and take lessons for no reason as soon as I was ready he got me into the test and my results prove that he was right I was ready.
Thank you Shah

I would like to specially thank Zeba who is an incredibly amazing Driving Instructor at Connect who helped my Pass my ADI Part 2 Practical Driving Test. Zeba has an incredibly amazing personality, and is a very hard-working and dedicated individual. Her teaching style and her level of patience is one that I have not seen in a long time across the vast majority of people I have dealt with with my level of experience being a Former Police Officer with the Metropolitan Police in London.
I would highly recommend Zeba to other Pupils who are considering learning to drive for both Standard Driving Test and for those who are considering doing there ADI (Advanced Driving Instructor Part 2 Driving Test). Zeba has an amazing approach to Pupils who may feel unconfident or shy from asking questions or discussing different aspects of the Driving Test or Driving Lessons. Her Energetic personality, creates a great atmosphere that allows anyone to feel comfortable to learn how to drive with her.
Zeba approached the ADI Driving Lessons with high level of professionalism and that combined with her amazing personality made it so much easier for me to become comfortable engaging with her.
As a Former Police Officer with the Metropolitan Police, and I have to say that Zeba has an amazing attitude towards teaching her pupils, with some of the highest standards set out by the DVSA, which aids the learning of a Pupil and helps you pass your Driving Practical Test 1st time around.
Zeba has been an outstanding ADI Driving Instructor to learn from, and it was a pleasure learning to Drive from her. Her can-do-attitude and her energetic-personality makes it easy for anyone to engage with her at ease and get learning. She has a very high standard of teaching, and that is exactly what you need, if you are serious about passing your standard or ADI Driving Test. She taught me all I needed to know, to pass my ADI 'Instructor' Practical Driving Test and I cannot thank her enough. Zeba is a STAR * * * * * (5 STARS)
From my experience as a Former Police Officer, I naturally felt, that there are no good people left in this world, but little did I know when I met Zeba. She completely changed my mindset and thought process. She is very respectful, professional, kind and very helpful and teaches to a very high standard as mentioned earlier. I really enjoyed taking driving lessons from her, and I feel quite lucky to learn from someone with very high driving standards.
It's very important to have an Instructor who is willing to help you learn, and an instructor that teaches you everything from A to Z.
Overall, amazing person, and I highly recommend her to anyone to take Driving Lessons with for both standard driving tests and for ADI Instructor Part 2 Practical Test. She is very knowledgeable and highly experienced and knows all that you need, to pass the Practical Tests successfully.

I passed my test because of Zeba. She is incredibly kind, patient, and professional. I struggled a lot with independent driving and following road-sign navigation,
it was especially challenging for me. But Zeba’s calm and patient approach, along with her expertise, helped me overcome my fear and gain confidence on the road.
No matter how many questions I asked, Zeba always smiled and answered everything clearly. I truly cannot thank her enough for her support.
Highly recommended!

Shah is an exceptional driving instructor, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better! As a very anxious learner, I always felt at ease during lessons—he never put me under pressure and was incredibly patient and supportive. Shah focused on improving my weakest areas with precision, which made a huge difference. Thanks to his effective teaching style and well-structured lessons, I passed with nearly 6 hours less than the average time it usually takes! I can’t recommend him enough—thank you, Shah!

A big thank you to Instructor Shah for his invaluable guidance and practical lessons in preparing me for my driving test. His deep understanding of how the exam works, combined with his focus on improving my driving skills, made all the difference. My test center was in Morden, and he carefully walked me through all the tricky points on each possible test route. Most importantly, he helped me build the confidence I needed—an essential factor for passing a driving test in London.

I took lessons with my instructor zeba. I learned from being a complete beginner and have just passed today. Every lesson, I was learning something and was improving every lesson so a huge thank you to zeba. I also want to thank Ammara as I did the test in her car and she is also an amazing instructor.

Learning to drive with Noroz was brilliant! He's super patient and really knows his stuff. He explains things clearly, so you actually understand what you're doing and why. Plus, he's got a great sense of humour, which makes lessons way less stressful. He never made me feel bad for messing up, just helped me learn from it. I passed my test no problem thanks to him. If you want a top-notch instructor who's also a good laugh, definitely go with Noroz!

Incredibly effective and professional driving lessons. My instructor Waqar was professional but friendly and has a teaching style which helped me to learn to drive in only 2 months of fairly intensive lessons. I passed my test first try and felt very prepared thanks to Waqar’s teaching.

I passed my driving test first attempt this morning, thanks to the exceptional guidance I received from Mr. Shah. He has been an incredibly patient and understanding instructor throughout my learning journey. I always felt comfortable asking him questions, even repeatedly, and he was more than willing to explain things as many times as needed until I felt confident. His constant reassurance helped me overcome my self-doubt, and I’m so grateful for his support. Thank you 🙏🏼

Junaid is an excellent instructor who was patient and supportive throughout my learning process. Junaid mixes theoretical learning with practical experience and is able to identify knowledge gaps that he then helps master. I’d highly recommend Junaid to any learner who is looking for a reliable, supportive and honest instructor who can help them in their driving journey!

I had an amazing experience learning with Shah as my instructor. Thanks to him, I passed my driving test on the first attempt with only one driving fault!
Shah was incredibly patient and supportive throughout every lesson. He not only taught me the essential driving skills but also helped me build my confidence on the road. His lessons were tailored to my specific needs, focusing on areas where I needed extra support, and he was very flexible with scheduling, which made the process even smoother.
I only needed three lessons with him, and his understanding approach made a huge difference. If you’re looking for an instructor who works at your pace and truly wants to see you succeed, I highly recommend Shah!

It is a significant achievement for me to have passed my test. I am deeply grateful to my instructor Zeba , who was exceptionally polite, knowledgeable, and thorough. She guided me from the basics to advanced concepts with great care and attention. Her expertise and guidance at every step were invaluable. I highly recommend her lessons to everyone.

Zeba was an amazing instructor. I in fact booked 10 hours with her at the beginning of the year where she got me to where she thought I could pass my test, however when booking my driving test I got a date at the end of the year and so booked in some refreshers closer to my exam.
Zeba taught me the correct and safe way to drive. Was encouraging and corrected my faults in a clear way. I would recommend her to anyone who has never driven a car, doesn’t have a car to practise on and who has had little experiencing driving.
I passed the first time!

I cannot recommend my driving instructor, Shah, highly enough. My friends and family thought I was ‘unteachable’ and doubted I’d ever drive, but Shah completely changed that. He was incredibly patient, clear in his instructions, and truly an exceptional teacher. Thanks to his guidance, I now feel confident in my driving abilities—something I never imagined I’d say. Shah always believed in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself. I’m so grateful to have passed my test, and if I could give more than five stars, I would! Thank you so much, Shah!

Thanks to Shah, I passed my test on the first attempt! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch driving instructor. He is truly dedicated to his students’ success.
From the very first lesson,Shah was professional & patient. He provided clear, calm & concise instructions, and always explained the objectives of the next lesson.
He was always cheery, and easy to talk to, responsive to messages, amenable to schedule changes & willing to repeat manoeuvres until I was truly confident with them. He will let you know when you are ready. Due to the wait for examinations being quite long, it’s best to go in ready so as not to need to wait moths for a re-attempt.

I just passed my Driving test today in first attempt at Morden centre.
I have done my driving lessons with Shah , let me tell you he is a great instructor! I was able to gain confidence and drive on the road in just couple lessons. Furthermore, he is very calm and patient, The reason why i would recommend this instructor to anyone. Its because he deliverers the information very clearly. if you don’t understand something he will try to draw it and try to explain it to you in the most simplest way.

Frequently Asked Questions
In general, anyone who meets the minimum age and licence requirements set by their country or state can take an intensive driving course. However, it is important to note that some driving schools or instructors may have additional eligibility criteria or requirements that must be met before enrolling in an intensive driving course.
The cost of an intensive driving course can vary depending on a few factors, such as the location, the duration of the course, and the provider you choose. However, on average, an intensive driving course in the UK can cost anywhere from £300 to £1,500.
Some intensive driving courses may boast a high success rate, citing figures such as 90% or even 95% pass rates for their students. It is crucial to note, however, that these data can be difficult to verify and may not be typical of all intensive driving course students
While an intensive driving course is a possibility if you have no prior driving experience, it may not be the ideal solution for everyone. Intensive driving courses are meant to educate trainees to drive in less time than standard driving courses.
We have no doubt that a two-week course and exam can be completed… However, we remain sceptical that this will provide a solid foundation for lifelong safe and effective driving.
When applying for your practical test, there is no minimum requirement for practice hours or sessions attended. All you need is a provisional licence and proof of passing your driving theory test. While this demonstrates that intensive driving instruction is doable, we all know that practice makes perfect.
Whether or not an intensive driving course is worth it depends on the individual learner’s needs and circumstances. Consider the advantages and disadvantages of an intensive course, as well as your individual needs and abilities, to determine if it’s the right choice for you.
