SJ is an amazing instructor.
He’s really patient, explains things clearly, and helped me confident. Lessons were always productive, and he knew exactly what to focus on. He’d make sure I was reflecting on what to improve and always did his best to help. I passed thanks to his support, and would definitely recommend SJ to anyone learning to drive!

Thank you SJ for the lessons, I managed to pass my manual driving test first try. He is a very good instructor with a lot of patience and is very thorough, taught me everything I need to know and more.
Would definitely recommend SJ for anyone, even a complete beginner like I was. I had a great time learning from him.

I joined Shehzad Bhai with very minimal knowledge of car driving. He started teaching me from scratch, consistently tracking my progress and pointing out my mistakes. We worked together on my weak areas, which helped me gain the confidence and skills to handle all kinds of road, traffic, and hazard situations. Today, I’m proud to say that I can drive confidently in any condition.
I’m especially grateful to Shehzad Bhai for the tips he gave me to manage my nervousness — they truly made a difference.
Thanks to his guidance and support, I passed my driving test on the very first attempt!
A huge thank you to Shehzad Bhai for turning me into a professional driver. A big salute to you and your teaching skills! You always understood me and guided me in the best possible way.
I highly recommend Shehzad Bhai to anyone who is looking to learn driving — his dedication, patience, and expertise are truly unmatched.
Big, big thanks! 🙂

Thrilled to share that I passed my manual driving test today with just 4 minors!
Before joining Shehzad Javed (SJ), I had a couple of lessons with a different instructor. Unfortunately, that experience left me feeling anxious and underconfident — to the point where I considered giving up driving altogether.
Everything changed when I took a trial lesson with SJ. I instantly felt more at ease, which led me to continue lessons with him. He consistently made the effort to understand how I think and tailored his guidance accordingly, helping me learn from my mistakes.
As the lessons progressed, my confidence grew — even though there were moments where nerves got the better of me. SJ’s honest feedback and calm, supportive approach made all the difference.
I highly recommend SJ to anyone learning to drive. He’s patient, perceptive, and genuinely committed to helping his students succeed.

Great Experience with Shehzad, was able to pass first time because of his ability to understand the student's strengths and weaknesses and align each lesson in a way that caters toward that.
Would recommend him to anyone wanting to take up driving lessons either as a complete beginner or some one who is experienced but is just not able to get over the line.

I had an amazing experience with SJ as he guided me to pass my practical on the first attempt. His friendly but strict approach to teaching helped me learn quickly, stay relaxed and be confident in my driving during every lesson and the exam. I cannot thank SJ enough for the sense of security and understanding I felt throughout my learning as well as moving forward.

Shehzad was a very good instructor. He was very clear when explaining different techniques which allowed me to pass my test first time, with only two minors. Having a good instructor Is crucial when it comes to the test as it was a representation of everything he had taught me. I highly recommend him as an instructor. He is kind and funny whilst being firm in the right time to make sure your really understanding how to correct the mistakes you make.

I had a very good experience taking driving classes with Shehzad as my instructor. He was professional , very clear in the way he explaining things that helped me to minimize my driving errors. What I appreciated most was how particular he was about the details that actually matter during the test—like getting the maneuvers right, understanding road signs, and paying attention to markings. His way of teaching made it easy to stay focused and pick things up quickly, even when I felt unsure at times.
Thanks to Shehzad’s guidance, I was able to pass my practical driving test on the first try. He made sure I was well-prepared by going over everything thoroughly and giving honest, helpful feedback after each lesson. He really knows what the examiners look for and helped me feel confident walking into the test. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a solid, reliable instructor who genuinely wants you to succeed.

SJ is my son’s driving instructor from when he first started and he’s really come on in leaps and bounds. His test is in a couple of weeks time here’s hoping. SJ has been very good to deal with changing lessons easily when we need to and good reports from the sessions with my son. I’d be happy to recommend him to teach anyone to drive.

I passed my driving test first time with zero faults in Basingstoke, which is full of tricky roundabouts and complex roads. SJ was incredible throughout the whole process— he was very empathetic, really understood me, and was always accommodating with lesson times. He genuinely cared about my progress and was just as happy as I was when I passed. He doesn’t just teach you to pass your test; he teaches you how to drive properly and confidently. I would highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive. SJ is a superb driving instructor.

I had lessons with SJ and I’m really happy with how it went, had lessons a few years ago but it was quite slow but SJ made sure to get me learning at decent speed and got my test passed with 4 minors first time. Would recommend if you’re looking for lessons in Basingstoke area ✅

I passed by driving test on my first attempt. I am really thankful to Shahzad sb for his support in understanding the Basingstoke route really quickly. He really gave me the much needed boost and confidence. His guidance and instructions were good and easy to follow.
His teaching style is good he lets the learner take control of the situation and decide what to do. He only intervene when needed.
I highly recommend him as an instructor.

I started my lessons with sj after having a little bit of experience with driving my own car. I knew the basics but needed to learn the checks and manoeuvres. Sj is great at explaining how things work with all things driving. I sometimes struggled with certain things like pulling out from a slip road or reverse parking. But with his help, I managed to make sure I could do them. I passed with only 1 minor and I was so happy. Thank u SJ

I started with SJ a few weeks before my test feeling like I needed a lot more practice with my driving.
Since I met him he’s been nothing but kind and helpful with his instructions and our day to day lessons. I have always felt comfortable driving in the car with him and never once felt pressured when making a mistake.
I would and will recommend SJ to everyone as he is the best you can get.
