Aimi Chen27 February 2026After I failed my first driving test attempt, I contacted AMDI for an intensive auto driving course and a new test date as soon as possible. He quickly arranged our first session at 7am the next day, booked 20 hours of lessons over the following two weeks, and secured a test date for me within five days of our first contact. He trained me to say everything out loud with every single move, which proved to be the key to passing the test, although it felt tedious during training. By doing this, the examiner knew exactly how I was responding to different situations. As a result, I passed the test with only 3 minors, compared to 15 minors last time. Thank you for the service AMDI, a true legend in the business!Posted on Google
Mahmoud abd el ghany7 February 2026Best instructor you could ever ask for — super efficient, extremely knowledgeable, and always generous with his time. He makes sure you get all the training you need to pass from the first time! 😉Posted on Google
Wali Mustafa2 February 2026AMDI is a great instructor! Patient, friendly and very supportive. Very proud to have passed my driving test on my first attempt all thanks to Amdi. Would strongly recommend!Posted on Google
Carla Northcott30 January 2026Been learning with AMDI since October 2025 and at my ripe old age he helped me pass first time. AMDI was very patient, understanding and considerate even after making some mistakes more than once. Cannot thank or recommend him enough. Thank you AMDI im going to actually miss seeing you every weekend. Everyone if you want a professional, kind patient instructor then book with AMDI. Thank you AMDIPosted on Google
Daniel Cooper19 January 2026Amdi was excellent. Really patient and knowledgeable, the time I spent learning with him was invaluable. He explained things clearly and never made me feel rushed. After years of being a non-driver, I've finally passed my test (first time) and couldn’t have done it without his help. Thank you Amdi!Posted on Google
Coco Cornelia8 January 2026I had failed 3 driving tests in 2 countries over 12 years. I had almost given up hope but AMDI's Driving School managed to turn a no-hoper into a licensed-driver in about 4 MONTHS!! Amdi is kind, rigorous and full of good advice. No one knows London like he does - I am so lucky to have been tutored by such a knowledgable and gifted teacher; He goes above and beyond for his students. If you want to learn how to drive in London, feeling safe and competent behind the wheel and learn truly useful things, then call Amdi xxXPosted on Google
Tony GH5 January 2026I highly recommend Amdi Driving School to learner drivers. Amdi is a clear communicator, extremely knowledgeable, and highly structured in his approach. He quickly identifies your weaknesses and tailors corrections that actually stick. He prepares you for the toughest real-world and test scenarios which leads to a process of constant learning. Just as importantly, he acts as a calm, practical mentor, helping you manage nerves and decision-making in what is an inherently stressful and demanding skill to learn.Posted on Google
Alexandra Meagher20 December 2025Great teacher. Strong recommendation. Patient, professional, knowledgeable and reliable. High quality teaching in east london. I passed first time in Chingford with his great teaching. Thank you Amdi!Posted on Google
John Ferrett18 December 2025Highly recommend. I was not very confident when I started but was patiently guided in everything I needed. I am yet another first time pass to add to their record. I cant imagine there is a better option in the area than AMDIPosted on Google
Joe Rothwell11 December 2025I was ready to give up learning to drive after an unpleasant experience with my old driving instructor, until I happened to walk past Amdi’s car one day. I’m so glad I gave him a call! He has a deep knowledge of driving and the test process, giving a rationale and strategy for everything he teaches. After a few months learning with Amdi I passed the test first try. I recommend anyone who is unsure to take the plunge and send him a message - you won’t regret it!
