Here's what some of our past students have to say about our driving instructors! The Majority of our students have passed both their practical and theory test first time with us :
"Thanks to SDA! Mr Shigiwol your big time hope giver, I respect your patient and salute you Sir. I failed 3 times in London and one time in High Wycombe, plus my theory was almost expiring when My colleague recommend me to Mr Shigiwol. I was very nervous, because it was my last chance. Long story short the rout Mr Shigiwol took me for a week was exactly the same rout that examiner took me, I was shocked and at the same time so confidence when examiner was telling me where to left and right. I pass with only one minor mistake, all the credit goes to Mr Shigiwol with his skill and technique of teaching. last the price was cheap compare to other driving company and car was super clean, smooth and small, just prefect one stop for driving learning."
"I took my driving lessons with the Smart Driving Academy and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The instructors were patient, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. I passed my driving test on the first try and I couldn't have done it without the help of the SDA team. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great driving school."
"Really good instructor. Very calm and gentle. Will defo recommend ."
"Really good instructor and helped guide me through the right steps, passed my test."
"I took the manual driving lessons with Hafiz. He is a very patient instructor and explains very well what you need to do during lessons. I feel my driving confidence improved very quickly and efficiently. Definitely recommend!."
"I have had two incredible lessons with SDA driving school. My instructor was patient and very informative. At every point in my lessons he made the effort to assess my progress and encouraged me positively. I feel I have been eased into driving in Oxford and I am happy to recommend their services. The standard is high with lots of emphasis on safety and security for all road users.."
"I needed a lesson at last minute due to a test slot coming up suddenly, and Hafiz was the only person I called (and I called a lot of people!) who made the effort to fit me in the next day. He was very patient and insightful - he pointed out bad habits I had developed and helped me work on improving them. I ended up passing my test the week after. Thanks for all your help Hafiz! I really appreciate it.."
"I passed my driving test first time with only 2 minors! Hafiz is honestly the best driving instructor I've ever had! He is very professional, patient and helped my gain confidence driving. What sets him apart from other instructors is his dedication to ensuring you fully understand what you are doing and why. He helped me focus on developing good driving habits and taught me how to always drive with safety in mind. His approach is to enjoy driving and I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with him! I would highly recommend!"
"Hafiz is the best instructor in Oxford . He is professional and a very patient, he knew what I should focus on and helped me how to do it the right. I enjoyed the great benefit of his instructions. Thank you very much! Highly recommend! !"
"My test was two weeks away, I was looking everywhere for lessons but no one seemed to be available. I then phoned the SDA and spoke to Hafiz who was able to get a lesson booked immediately for me. I had 3 two hour lessons with him and in those two weeks we were able to brush off all of my mistakes and bad habits. He was able to answer all my questions and finally helped me understand lane selection and moving around large roundabouts safely which was an area that needed a lot of improvement. Today I passed with only 1 minor fault. The result speaks for itself... Thanks Hafiz !! !"
"Driving lessons were very thorough and practically useful. I learnt how to deal with day to day scenarios with calm and composure. The mock tests helped me prepare mentally for the test day. More than anything else, I enjoy driving now because of the lessons!! !"

"Very pleased to recommend SDA and Hafiz as the best place to learn driving in Oxford. I never thought I’ll be able to drive with confidence, but from day one Hafiz provided a calm and relaxed atmosphere during my lessons whilst pushing you to achieve a higher standard. He’s very knowledgeable and his teaching methods are excellent."
