To learn effectively, student drivers need to be calm and comfortable. That's why we list all the information that learner drivers care about when booking their first driving lesson.
Here is our breakdown for learning to drive in Aberdeen with a female driving instructor and driving school.
It's important to learn to drive with someone you feel comfortable with. Whether that instructor is male or female, is fully up to the learner driver. If you have a preference then that will help put your mind at ease when learning to drive.
Shaziya really helped my partner with his confidence in driving. He took several lessons in which she was incredibly supportive and was well prepared. She is not only incredibly competent in teaching (she is aware of many helpful resources and gives plenty of tips on how to revise for the question part of the exam) but she is also very personable. Big thumbs up from us; couldn't recommend her more!
I cleared my driving test in the first go. Shaziya Sultana is a delight, honest and a very hard working personality. She has a keen eye in detecting faults and bad driving habits which has helped me in improving my driving skills. She is very professional in her instructing, planning and punctual timing. We covered all the test routes and manoeuvres couple of times before the exam. It was a wonderful experience. I would always strongly recommend Shaziya Sultana as a driving instructor
Great driving instuctor, dedicated, honest and hardworking. She greatly helped me to develop my confidence. She supported and guided me through allobstacles i faced while driving. I strongly recommend her as your driving instructor in and around Aberdeen. Thank you Shaziya, Thank you BSM
Gives you the chance to get on the road even with no experience, introduces busier roads gradually if you are inexperienced like I was. Teaches you the skills you need to drive anywhere. If u learn those skills you can pass a test in no time.
Shaziya is really great,I was already pass my driving two years back.To know more about town driving I contacted shaziya.On my first day she analzyed my driving and explained my mistake at the end of the class and she sent me some links to prepare well for next class. She also gave me more confident.she indentify my mistake and ask me to correct while driving. Before starting class she explain today lesson very well..what are the things we are going to.. like that.. Compare to my first instructor,she is really amazing.she never scold, giving more confident,more flexible,more care and comfort.
Excellent service provided. Supportive. I had only few sessions with her but the outcome was extremely positive. Highly recommended
Shaziya has been a fantastic driving instructor from beginning to end, I started off lessons a few months ago and have went from being a total novice at driving to passing my test with only 2 minors. She takes the time to make sure you understand each and every aspect of driving and gives constructive detailed feedback before, during and after every lesson. On top of this she provides learning material in a variety of formats in order to reinforce what you've learned from your lessons.
Great local instructors, I am glad I have Shaziya as my Instrustor. She teaches in patience and calm way. Most of the stuff she let me figured it out myself which really helps me to understand.
I am so lucky to have had Shaziya as my driving instructor. She was so calm and patient with me and all my questions. She really took the time to understand me and think up new ways to help me learn better. I felt so comfortable and really enjoyed my lessons. I don't think been able to pass first time without her! Would highly recommend! Thank you Shaziya!
Lovely instructor, always patient and have effective methods of explaining things, always point out my mistakes and what i need to work on. Always makes time for her students. Would highly recommend her.
Fantastic instructor who is very patient while telling me what mistakes I made and what I had to improve upon. A well informed instructor and a good responsive listener, she helped me feel confident for sitting my test.
Shaziya is a great driving instructor. She is very calm, knowledgeable and a very safe driver herself. She is very supportive and flexible in terms of driving hours. Due to my long hours at work it was only possible for me to take lessons at evenings and weekends, and Shaziya was able to accommodate my busy schedule. During lessons Shaziya would explain rules in details and help you to understand the reasons of particular test requirements. She also have lots of additional materials that she shared with me to study and prepare in between the lessons which is great for things like “show me / tell me” questions. All that helped me to pass the test from the first attempt.
Shazia was very professional and patient with me, she helped me become a better and safer driver. She is strict, fair and so much fun. I’m going to miss our classes and laughters 💕

Shaziya was great! She knows how to make you drive safely.She's pontual and organized. Very good lessons.
Great driving Instructor, dedicated, honest and hardworking who has greatly helped me to develop my confidence in driving. Her willingness to go extra miles to see that i pass my driving test is extraordinary. Detects all mirror checks, eye on speeds and minor mistake and they are always resolved. She is highly recommended as a driving instructor. Thank you Shaziya for your effort and the extra times
Absolutely loved my lessons with Shaziya. Very professional and friendly. She is so encouraging and helpful. Great at personalising the lessons to my needs. Fantastic at communicating during the lesson and also sending helpful information and links for revision. Gave me the confidence to pass my test first time, even though I was nervous. Couldn't recommend her enough.
Shaziya has been an excellent instructor: calm, patient, encouraging, comprehensive and professional. I was historically a very nervous driver, but Shaziya put me at ease straight way and helped build my confidence to pass my test first time. Shaziya was thorough in her teaching to help me feel test prepared, but also taught skills and concepts for driving well and safely beyond just the test. It was refreshing to have an instructor who orientates the teaching for what is best for the learner, rather than a dogmatic approach like I've experienced before. Really enjoyed my experience learning with Shaziya - cannot recommend highly enough!!
Arranged driving lessons with Shaziya when no other instructors were available at the time in Aberdeen . I had some experience with driving however considered myself a nervous driver due to prior awful awful experience with my last instructor. Shaziya eased me into driving, re learning the basics , communicating well with me and most of all being patient . She understood my character and helped me strengthen what I thought to be my weakness when it came to driving. In fact I ended up liking driving when previously , trust me ,I did not. She is a professional, safe and thorough instructor. Practise makes perfect, literally and you will get that with her . I had a set budget for my lessons and was test ready well in good time .I passed first time , no minors or driving faults and finally after so so long got my full license. Very happy with the service she offers and her teaching style . I 100% recommend. Thank you!
Very professional and paid very close attention to detail. Helped an individual with no experience driving,pass driving test, highely recommend to anyone looking for an instructor.
Shaziya has a lot of skills and experience to get you ready to drive along with giving theory help too. She’s professional at what she does and teaches but while also being very chill and enjoyable to talk to if need be. She was a really cool teacher to have during my time with her and I learnt alot in a short period of time thanks to her experience. Would definitely recommend!
Professional and excellent instructor. I would 100% recommend Shaziya for driving lessons.
Shaziya is a very thorough and professional instructor. She will try really hard to find teaching methods that suit you and has a lot of useful knowledge.
Shaziya is a lovely and hard working instructor. She responded to my initial query very quickly and got me on the road before other instructors managed to reply. We covered everything I needed to know and in couple of months I became a confident driver myself. I passed my practical first time with no faults recorded. Very happy about this and would highly recommend Shaziya to anyone. Thank you. Good job!
Arranged for driving test prep at short notice. was excellent at communicating and gracious with technical difficulties. 100% would recommend.
Took some lesson as I had private practice previously, she was so helpful and explained everything clearly. Shaziya was also VERY patient when I made mistakes which made me feel much more at ease and less stressed. She was adaptive to my learning pace and provided a lot of written detail after lessons. Couldn’t recommend her enough. Brilliant Instructor!!
Shaziya helped me passed my driving test, first time with 26 hours of lessons with her, i really enjoyed her teaching she made it comfortable as my old instructor knocked my confidence so much i started to dislike driving, but shaziya really helped me build my driving skills and confidence and I started to enjoy my lessons again. If anyone needs a great instructor who teaches you in depth i recommend shaziya, she is easy to get on with and had a good laugh with her.
Shaziya was a great detail-oriented and organised instructor. She helped correct a lot of the points I needed improvement on in my driving and now I do some of the things I was taught by her instinctively. She was also available when many other instructors were booked and made time in her calendar to accomodate for my schedule which I'm very grateful for. I highly recommend her!
Amazing instructor who has managed to get my confidence so much from when we first started! cannot thank her enough
Absolutely fantastic driving instructor. Very patient and very easy to learn from. No one else comes close!
I hadn't driven a lesson in my life before I started with Karen. I was new and wary and didn't know much about cars. I felt comfortable around her from the moment we met and now roughly 12 hours in I couldn't be happier. She's encouraging and incredibly patient, even at a 6pm lesson after doing lessons all day! I really couldn't ask for more and know she is going to take me all the way to my test! I highly reccomend Kar-n-Drive to anyone whether you're a beginner, have had a few or feel like a top up before your test. Thank you Karen!
Karen is the most relaxed person in the world ... definitely my calm and has been such an amazing instructor so far with me, i haven’t had lessons in 6 years but I’ve came on loads with confidence and being able to relax since starting with Karen. Also covering so much in a short time since taking on lessons again! Feel like I’ll be passed in no time
Karen is a great teacher, super patient, who wants the best for her students. Most of all, she encourages to believe in yourself and be confident. I would’ve never been able to pass my test first time if it wasn’t for her. She's definitely the first and only person I'll recommend to anyone who wants to learn to drive.
I was very nervous to start taking lessons but Karen is a fantastic instructor who has made me feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel from my very first lesson. Would definitely reccomend :)
Karen is an excellent driving instructor and I'm so happy that I'm doing my lessons with her. She makes me feel really calm and safe when I'm driving even if I start to get nervous and panic a little. She always gives me praise on what I have done well or tips on improvements I can make when we are out on the roads. She has always put her trust and belief into me which has really helped towards her growing my confidence on the road. I would recommend Karen to anyone beginning or learning to drive! I can't wait for her to be with me when I do my test but I will really miss her once I've finished my lessons.
Brilliant instructor! Really kind and patient. Very good at helping correct any mistakes you have when driving. Would definitely recommend
After going with many instructors over 5 years, Karen has been the one to put me at ease and gain my confidence in driving after failing my test on hesitancy. Would definitely recommend her to all those lacking confidence or needing an extra push! Best driving instructor I’ve had!
Been doing my lessons with Karen a couple of months now after being passed on to her from my previous instructor. I felt nervous about change but from day 1 she has put me at ease and she has helped me massively with my confidence when driving. Karen also makes things that I once found so hard, such as my manoeuvres - seem so easy! Would highly recommend
Great driving instructor and has always made me feel completely at ease. Would highly recommend.
Can’t recommend Lisa enough!! She’s an Amazing driving instructor! I was such a nervous driver when I first started and she helped me gain so much confidence in such a short time!! first time pass aswell
Got Lisa’s details through a friend and am glad I did. Not only she’s amazing instructor but also she became a good friend through out the months knowing her. I had 2 instructors before her and am glad she was so fair and at ease with my giving up on driving but we got their in the end because I passed in late January 2019! Never late for lessons always on time and her prices are so fair as well not expensive either. Am so glad and happy to meet lisa 5 stars all round.
Very friendly and makes sure that you are properly prepared for your test. Would definitely recommend
Lisa is a great instructor and helped me pass my test first time. Very friendly can’t recommend Lisa enough.
Lisa is a very lovely and enjoyable person to have your driving lessons with. She was extremely patient and wouldn’t rush you through parts, especially if you were stressed about driving. She is very easy to talk to which again helps relax you when driving, and she has great tips to help you pass. I passed first time as a result and I would highly recommend Lisa as a driving instructor.
Would highly recommend Lumsden learners for anyone looking to go ahead and start there lessons. Lisa is a brilliant instructor and has very good patience,and very good attitude towards her learners, so so happy that I went and moved on with Lisa, only went and passed first time! Thanks again x
5 Stars - highly recommend!
