I am very happy with Hassan as my driving instructor, being neurodivergent I’ve struggled to find a driving instructor wanting and able to tailor their teaching approach to accommodate me and my difficulties ; because of that my confidence before starting with Hassan had been nocked down completely . His praise and acknowledgement of my achievements and consistent patience with me will be a significant reason that I pass , He is very professional and takes pride in what he does but is also caring and always up for having a laugh, allowing me to feel relaxed and at ease during our lessons. I am very grateful to have been taught by him and i couldn’t recommend a better instructor! :) Update- passed my test today first time couldn’t be happier !!!❤️❤️❤️

My daughter was very nervous about learning to drive after having lessons from previous instructors. We then contacted Hassan at Steer Smart Academy and after just a couple of lessons, he was able to greatly boost her confidence. He was able to book her a driving test within 1 week (without any extra cost to us), and she passed without any faults. I would highly, recommend Hassan to anyone who is looking to pass their driving.

I passed my driving test at the first attempt at Middlewood test centre. Felt a bit nervous at first but then the instructor reassured me and throughout the test I realised it felt like just a lesson. Taking lessons from steer smart academy has helped me to become a confident and a licenced driver. Thank you Hassan!!!

I can't recommend Hassan enough as a driving instructor! From the very first lesson, he was incredibly patient, professional, and knowledgeable. His calm and supportive approach made learning to drive a genuinely enjoyable experience. He explained everything so clearly and passed on so many valuable techniques that made even the trickiest manoeuvres feel easy. His methods are brilliant, and his attention to detail ensures you're fully prepared for your test and confident on the road. If you're looking for an instructor who truly cares about your success, Hassan is the best choice!

Hassan is a legend. Had little time to teach me everything yet managed to get me to pass standard within a week. His references and teaching techniques allowed me to pass first time. Can’t recommend him enough. Thank you HASSAN!

I cannot thank Hasan enough for his incredible support and guidance in helping me pass my driving test! I was under immense pressure to pass within six months, and Hasan never failed on his promise to get me there. From day one, he was patient, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He tailored every lesson to my needs, ensuring I built confidence behind the wheel, even in stressful situations. His calm and clear instructions made all the difference. If you're looking for an instructor who truly cares about your success, look no further. Hasan is the best at what he does, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone learning to drive. Thank you, Hasan!
