“I passed my driving test today first attempt and I cannot thank Arif enough. He is extremely patient and understanding and he worked through all my imperfections without ever criticising it. He always made me feel motivated even when I was struggling with something and always kept my confidence up. I really appreciated how straightforward he is; he genuinely wants you to pass and not just make money. Always wanting to see you improve. I would definitely recommend him all the way! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“After learning with multiple instructors, switching to Arif made me realise the difference between someone who’s just there to take your money and someone who genuinely cares about creating safe, confident drivers who examiners are pleased with. Within just a few lessons, he corrected my driving to test standard and I passed with only one minor - which was something Arif had already warned me about beforehand. I really respect his patience, honesty, and high standard of teaching. He goes above and beyond, even taking the time outside lesson hours to give advice and support. On top of that he’s a great guy and easy to get along with. I’d highly recommend Arif to anyone, whether you’re a complete beginner or already experienced. 10/10 rating.”
“"First-Time Pass with Idris!" I am thrilled to say that I passed my driving test on my very first attempt today! I cannot recommend ASM School of Motoring highly enough, specifically my instructor, Idris. Idris was incredibly professional, patient, and knowledgeable throughout my lessons. He has a great way of explaining technical maneuvers and road safety that really builds your confidence behind the wheel. He didn’t just teach me how to pass the test; he taught me how to be a safe and competent driver for life. If you are looking for an instructor who is calm, reliable, and genuinely invested in your success, ask for Idris at ASM. Thank you for helping me get my license!”
“Arif was recommended to me by a neighbour. I was a brand new driver and, at the time of my first lesson, I’d never even sat in the drivers seat before. I was very nervous and sceptical that I’d be able to learn at the age of 38. He was great and very supportive. I passed my test first time! I’d highly recommend Arif and have only positive things to say”
“Best driving school! Arif was my instructor, I can’t explain how grateful I am for his guidance, expertise and patience. After various stints with different motor schools I contacted ASM after my good friend recommended. Best decision I could’ve made. I passed first time! 🥳 Arif is a down to earth and patient teacher, his love for driving shows through how well he teaches and guides you. I looked forward to my lessons each week. I can’t recommend enough really. Thank you ASM!”
“What an amazing journey from day one to passing my driving test on the very first attempt! Every lesson brought a new experience, a new challenge, and an opportunity to develop my confidence, driving skills, road awareness, and—most importantly—safe driving habits. A huge thank you to my instructor @Arif for the patience, professionalism, encouragement, and exceptional standard of training throughout the entire journey. The guidance was always clear, calm and focused, helping me understand not only how to pass the test, but how to become a safe, confident and responsible driver for life. Passing first time is a fantastic achievement, and I truly appreciate the quality of training and support that made it possible. Many thanks for the outstanding service, high professional standards and commitment from beginning to end. I couldn’t recommend this driving school and instructor highly enough. ⭐ Five-star training, five-star service and an experience I will always remember. Thank you for everything! 🚗🎉”
“Arif is the best instructor he took the time to explain everything clearly and always made sure I understood before moving on he's incredibly patient and doesn't just teach you how to pass your test he teaches you real life driving skills and shares valuable experiences that will help you long after you've passed. I passed first time, and I can't thank Arif enough. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent driving instructor!!!”
“As a straightforward person, I needed an instructor who is the same, and Arif is exactly that. Passed my test today, and honestly, I couldn’t have done it without him. No fluff, just clear, honest feedback that actually helps you improve and build confidence. He’s not just teaching you how to pass a test; he makes sure you properly understand driving and stay calm when you start overthinking things. Proper patient, good energy, and we always laughed at lessons, which made a big difference. I started with someone else before, but it didn’t click at all, so I switched, and it was the best decision I made. Arif is genuinely the best instructor I could’ve asked for. I’m actually going to miss the lessons, which I didn’t expect to say. We’ll definitely stay in touch. He’s just a genuinely good person, not just a great instructor. Would 100% recommend him to anyone. - Annabel”

“Arif from ASM has been a fantastic instructor from start to finish. He has helped me not only pass but become a much safer driver overall. He’s clear and concise in his teaching style, is knowledgable on what DVSA are looking for and what their standard is, and always makes you feel at ease. He gets straight to business encouraging you to be behind the wheel and quickly gain your driving confidence, no 2 hour lectures sat in a car which add no value. He has extensive driving knowledge and I have no doubt he can get anyone DVSA exam ready. Thank you again for all your help over the last 6 months!”
