I always looked forward to my lesson with Syed as they were not only hands on but enjoyable too!!
Syed always managed to bring humour to my lessons and really pushed me to excel. Without Syed I don't think I would have been able to pass first time.
He is extremely experienced and lessons were always organised well.
Syed has become a good friend and I would recommend him to many.”

“Hey Syed, So pleased I passed my test! Couldn't have done it without such a great teacher like you. Thank you so much for being such a patient, fantastic, supportive, kind and fun teacher. I think it is really helpful how you use pictures/maps/diagrams in your lesson, it really makes alot of the learning much more simple. I also appreciated how you stayed so well-humored and positive, even after such a long time of learning! (i'm officially your longest student right?) many thanks again.”

“Dear Syed,
Thank you so much for all of your help which enabled me to pass my test at the end of the month. I was slightly apprehensive and extremely nervous before starting the course but you helped me gain the knowledge and skills needed to succeed. Not only that, but you taught me to such a high standard that on the day of my test I felt a lot more confident than I thought I ever would. You were a brilliant teacher and you made me feel so at ease. If it was not for you, I would not have passed and I would highly recommend you to any learner driver.”

I have recommended Syed to my family and friend who have found him an excellent instructor. I would recommend him to anybody who wants to learn how to drive.”

Jason Finn,

“Well when I first started I never had even driven a car or even moved a car backwards and forwards. So I had to start literally from scratch.
Syed was very patient from the beginning and always explained things very well and easily.
One thing I admired about his teaching is that when you did make a mistake he would tell you to park up on one side and explain what the fault you had done and show illustrations in order to truly understand why you have to follow this procedure.
I would definitely recommend him to any family or friends of mine especially if they are starting from scratch.
Had a great time learning, thank you.”

Rubel

“I didn't initially believe that I could be driving confidently so quick, Syed instills nurtured my driving ability excellently and for that reason I passed first time. 10/10 for teaching and definitely 10/10 for the one on one interaction.”

“I had taken lessons with BSM previously and was not happy with the progress that was being made. When I changed my instructor to Syed, founder of SSM, I was able to develop my confidence in driving and managed to pass on my first attempt. Good work Syed!”

Rumel Wahid

“The first time I sat behind the wheel of a car was in SSM driving school with Syed beside me. After 14 lessons with Syed I got my driving license. It goes to show how good he really is. I truly believe he has that ability to communicate with learner drivers and pass his driving experience and knowledge to us like no other instructor, he is very friendly, patient and amazing.
Thank you Syed for making this driving experience enjoyable, easy and real, and would recommend you to all my family and friends...”
