“ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. I'd give My First Drive 11 out of 10 if I could! I cannot recommend enough. Enam taught me from March to December 2025. The only reason he's no longer my instructor is because I've moved from London to Kent. I was very sad to lose him and wanted to pass my test with him as my instructor. Regardless, as far as I'm concerned, it's Enam who has taught me how to drive. The next instructor will just be practice. I'm certain that I would've passed under Enam.

Enam is a highly professional and skilled instructor. He's also friendly, calm and reassuring. I felt at ease with him immediately and trusted him from day one.

I liked how he provides a plan for the lesson at the start, and then does a round up at the end of the lesson. So you always know where you are. He will give praise where due and feedback on where you can improve, which is delivered in a way that makes you feel confident about where you're at. I never felt criticised but at the same time, I knew in exactly which areas I needed to improve. I found lessons with Enam enjoyable and fun, and I never thought I'd enjoy driving! My very first driving lesson was with Enam at 44 years of age! I was very nervous and anxious on my first lesson, but I needn't have been as Enam was very supportive and put me at ease.

Finally, Enam provided me with some solid advice a few weeks ahead of my theory test, which I followed. Had I not, I truly believed that I would've failed it. Instead, I passed with flying colours!

Do yourself a favour and book this company! Enam is always busy and I can 100% understand why! He always does his best to accommodate you and book in your lessons, even if that's to his detriment. Top guy! Thank you so much for everything Enam!

Enam is a great instructor for any level of driving. I was a more experienced driver from the USA and, with on and off lessons, we committed to weekly lessons for three months before the test. He is extremely patient and very knowledgeable and can tailor his feedback to whoever he is teaching. He also focuses not just on passing the test but on improving your driving all round, something I really appreciate. On the day of the test he ensured the car was cleaned and fully ready to use, making me extremely comfortable as well as the examiner. I got one fault overall and passed first try, something I really needed as the wait times for tests are so long. I've had multiple instructors and he is the most flexible and knowledgeable I've had. Definitely recommended.
Toby BryanPassed first time
I had a really great experience with My First Drive. My instructor was patient, professional, and explained everything clearly, which helped build my confidence on the road. The lessons were well structured and focused on the areas I needed to improve, and I always felt comfortable asking questions without feeling judged for mistakes. I'd definitely recommend Enam to anyone looking for a supportive and reliable driving instructor. Thank you.
Rahaat Khan
Amazing instructor. Enam helped me pass first time with only 2 driving faults! Very patient and professional. Every lesson was well structured, which helped me build my confidence. Highly recommended.
Jamil ChowdhuryPassed first time
After a bad experience with another driving school, I'd completely lost confidence. But My First Drive changed everything. Lessons were clear, well structured, and easy to understand. The support and guidance made a huge difference, and helped me build my confidence quickly. Passed first time, and couldn't be happier!
Mijan RahmanPassed first time
I'd been taught by Enam for my automatic car. He made every lesson focused and was very organised with feedback and scheduling future lessons. He was great and helped me to pass my test! Would definitely recommend for any automatic learners.
Anni SmirnovaPassed (automatic)
I couldn't have asked for a better experience learning to drive. Patient, professional and always encouraging, he made every lesson enjoyable and stress-free. The clear guidance and calm approach gave me the confidence I needed to pass my test. Highly recommend!
Muhmoodul HaquePassed
I was so glad to have found this driving instructor. He was so calm and professional, gave me plenty of guidance and corrected my mistakes. I passed my test first time!
Osama AlqasimPassed first time
I would highly recommend Enam as a driving instructor, and he helped me pass first time! He was very patient, friendly and explained concepts well, and was always willing to give more time if necessary.
Yoanna DukanovaPassed first time
Big thanks for all the help and patience! Lessons were well structured and I felt supported the whole way through until I passed my test first time.
Tabatha JanePassed first time
I'd been struggling to find the right instructor. I'd used two different instructors and wasted a lot of money before I found Enam at My First Drive. Enam listened to my situation, got me driving straight away and taught me tricks that helped me pass my driving exam. Enam does not waste time. If you get your slots with him, you're definitely passing soon! Thanks again.
Ak AkPassed
My first driving experience was with Enam, and the best. I have learned a lot. He is a very professional instructor and I really recommend him to everyone if you want to pass first time.

Questions, answered.

Everyone learns at a different pace, and there is no legal minimum number of lessons. As a rough guide, the DVSA says the average learner has around 45 hours of professional tuition alongside about 22 hours of private practice. If you pick things up quickly, or you have some off-road experience, you might be test-ready in around 20 to 30 hours; if you are nervous or want to take your time building confidence, it can be 60 to 80+ hours. We will find your level on the first lesson and give you an honest plan, with no pressure to over-book.
