Costel Stavarache
Costel is the best driving instructor I have had so far. My first day was daunting as most new aspiring drivers would be. First impressions are always said to be lasting. His calm, yet firm instructions unnerved my uneasiness. After my first lesson, I just knew this was the driver I’d love to keep until I pass my practical test. Thank you Costel for being professionally dynamic and knowledgible.

Sajid did a great job and made it easy for me to build my confidence behind the wheel. He provided clear instructions and focused on correcting my mistakes from day one, ensuring I was ready before the big test. I’m really looking forward to my next lesson!

David Rawlins
David has been an excellent instructor. He’s attentive, patient, and very supportive, which made a real difference to my confidence. He’s helped ease my anxiety about driving in the UK and created a calm, encouraging learning environment. I’d highly recommend him.

Raz Hussain
Great session done with Raz, a very friendly instructor, keeps you calm and most importantly explains everything in a way anyone can understand. Looking forward to my next one.

Ari Mohammad
I was very nervous about driving and felt quite anxious before my lesson but Ari helped me calm down and I felt so much more comfort and confident when driving throughout my lesson, I would absolutely recommend him as an instructor

Everyone learns at a different pace, so the number of lessons you’ll need can vary. The DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) recommends around 45 hours of professional lessons plus 20 hours of private practice to be fully test ready. But don’t worry, some learners need fewer hours, especially if they practise often, feel confident, or are learning in an automatic vehicle; which can be quicker to pick up.
At Instruct Me, we offer flexible single lessons and affordable multi lesson packages, so you can progress at your own pace without breaking the bank. Whether you're looking to build confidence over time or fast-track your learning, there’s an option that fits your journey.
We offer both manual and automatic lessons, depending on what suits you best! Manual licences give you more flexibility and are ideal if you plan to drive different types of vehicles in the future. Automatic lessons are often easier for beginners or city drivers. Whatever your choice, we’ve got trusted instructors ready to help.
Yes. If you feel like your current instructor isn’t the right fit, you can switch at any time. Just head to your dashboard, leave a review if you’d like, and browse for another instructor in your area. We want every student to feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel.
