She was incredibly patient, encouraging, and supportive throughout my driving lessons. She helped me build my confidence behind the wheel and always made me feel safe and comfortable while learning.

Thanks to her guidance and teaching, I passed my road test on my very first try! I’m so grateful for everything she taught me and for the confidence she gave me going into my test.

I highly recommend Jaleh and Seymour Driving School to anyone looking for a patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging driving instructor. Thank you so much, Jaleh!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Rasool at Seymour Driving School enough! I learned to drive later in my 30s and got my N licence last year. However, because I didn’t have a car, I went over a year without driving and lost a lot of my confidence behind the wheel.

As an older novice driver, I was quite nervous about getting back into driving, but Rasool was incredibly patient, calm, and encouraging. He made me feel comfortable straight away and explained everything clearly.

After just two lessons with Rasool, I felt so much more confident behind the wheel. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is a nervous driver, learning to drive later in life, or looking to rebuild their confidence after taking some time away from driving. Thank you so much, Rasool!
