Learning to drive with someone that speaks Punjabi is always a plus - it makes explanations clearer and can help with setting driving expectations.
Here is our breakdown for learning to drive in Nottingham with a Punjabi speaking instructor.
The number of people in the UK that speak Punjabi is 273,000 , that is 0.5% of the population. The process of getting a drivers licence in the UK differs a bit from the process in India. There are still a theory and practical test however, they are slight more time consuming and require in depth knowledge of the roads in the UK.
With a population of 306,000 it is quite diverse. 23% of the population belongs to Black and other minority groups.
Amazing instructor. Keeps calm and cool, but makes sure you're picking up the correct habits to be a safe and confident driver for long after you've passed.
Amazing instructor keeps calm and makes me feel very relaxed and confident.
Solid, reliable and very patient!
I highly recommend Waseem, he's a great instructor. I didn't drive for well over 10 years, never liked it. Waseem is the 3rd instructor I've had over the years and by far the best. He was very calm and very patient. He always explained everything to me in the way I could really understand it, he talked me through the mistakes I've done without making me feel bad. He scheduled our lessons in perfect order to teach me step by step everything I needed, gradually adding to the difficulty and repeating until I got it, always making sure I would pick up correct habits. He gave me confidence to drive. Thank you very much.
You waz are in different league when it comes to number of passes
Excellent instructor! I was lucky that I choose Waseem on Go Roadie web site, when I was looking for an instructor.I haven't been driving for over 10 years.I was scared after I had an accident on bike with car. With Waseem I find a confidence in driving again. He is great in explaining and very patient , and helpful too. He put me at ease. I can recommend Waseem.
I passed my test first time with the help of Waseem. He is extremely patient and good at teaching. His explanation has always been very clear. Highly recommended.
very good instructor
Driving with Waseem was great and he was very patient and understanding. He helped me pass my test first time with only 2 minors. Would recommend to anyone.
A great instructor, helped me get back to test level after not driving for over a year. He really helped build my confidence on the road. Passed first time with only a couple of minors!
Passed first time with 3 minors! Great process in general and a lot of patience!
Waseem was such a helpful and patient instructor. He gives firm, honest feedback but also knows how to laugh/joke with you which is super helpful when you're nervous or stressed. You can tell that Wass is preparing you not just for a test but for real life driving and has given me plenty of advice for after I have passed. Id definitely recommend him to someone, like myself, who had had a few instructors and was struggling to find someone with a good balance of feedback and good humour.
Wass is an excellent instructor and consistently helped me learn to drive, even though we had to stop lessons for long periods of time throughout various lockdowns. Despite all of this however, he was extremely patient and forgiving and I would definitely recommend Wass to anybody looking for a driving instructor.
Waseem was really patient and kind. I had years of previous driving experience with automatic cars in the US / an automatic scooter in Japan, but it was my first time learning manual, and Waseem taught me very patiently and respectfully, helping me gradually build my confidence with manual cars while never skimping on safety. I didn't have access to a car to practice on, so it took me more lessons than I'd hoped to learn manual (14 lessons, as my lessons were also my practice time), but Waseem took me through everything as quickly as I was able to learn! Passed on first try, 1 minor. All in all, Waseem never loses his cool, and I felt safe with him guiding me in the car and my lessons on the whole.
Wass is a fantastic instructor. I had never been behind the wheel before and I was a little nervous, but Wass helped to build and instill a lot of confidence in my driving. Wass is patient, forgiving, will take time to explain things and will give you honest, helpful feedback. He makes sure that you learn at a pace you are comfortable with, without feeling rushed. Unfortunately I had to end my lessons with Wass before being test-ready due to moving, but the skills and advice he has taught me will go a long way in helping me pass my test. If not for moving I gladly would have continued my lessons with Wass. Highly recommended!
Brilliant instructor, patient and helpful. Passed my test first time with 3 minors thanks to him. Couldn't recommend him more, 10/10
Really relaxed but professional and friendly instructor. Always calm and gives detailed instructions not just how to pass your test, but be a safe driver in general. It's not easy learning to drive in your thirties and I had been really anxious about the idea of starting, but Waseem was really great about it and can't fault his instruction at all, definitely highly recommended.
Waseem was always very professional and extremely helpful. He always made sure I was being safe and observant. Previously I struggled with nerves but the lessons always put my mind at ease. I passed my test first time so I couldn't recommend him enough!
I passed first time, he's a very patient and kind instructor, he gives helpful and constructive advice, I would recommend him.
Wass was a brilliant instructor. With his kind, calm manner and expert knowledge I was able to pass first time. I could not recommend him enough.
Waseem was a good driving instructor who covered everything that need to be covered with detailed explanation and makes sure you understand everything before covering different topics of driving. Patient and calm. I would recommend to anyone that wants to learn seriously on how to drive.
Learning from start to finish with Waseem was wonderful. The lessons were informative. Wassem's method of training makes the test day easy, the test went well, I passed my test first time thanks to Waseem. Will always recommend him to anyone.
Passed first time with 0 serious and 0 minors!!! Waseem took a person who was nervous and hesitant about ever driving and made sure that I was okay with each lesson and each technique before we continued. He was always constructive with feedback and let me know when what I was doing was good (and not so good!). A fantastic tutor and someone who I’d be happy to continue with Pass Plus. Through good and bad, Waseem had my back and was supportive going into the test and was excellent about communication for each lesson, both through texts and through fitting me in a busy schedule. Amazing dedication to driving safety and I’m incredibly glad I found him through here. Thank you so much for helping me, Waseem! Couldn’t have done it without you.
I had the privilege of passing my driving test on my first attempt with only one minor fault, Throughout my driving lessons, Waseem consistently made me feel confident and at ease behind the wheel. He covered every aspect of driving, from basic manoeuvres to complex traffic situations. If you are looking for a driving instructor who will teach you everything you need to know I highly recommend choosing Waseem. You will not be disappointed!
I passed my test on the first attempt with only 3 minors thanks to Waseem. He is a fantastic teacher, he’s extremely patient, calm and reassuring which made learning to drive a much easier time for me! Cannot recommend him enough, if you’re looking for an instructor then absolutely look no further. Thank you so much for all your help, Wass!
Waseem is a great instructor, passionate in giving lessons, answering questions, being patient when you make mistakes. He is also a high standard instructor that not only ask for your pass, but to drive safety in your entire life. Responsive. I would definitely recommend Waseem as your instructor.
I finally passed my driving test after failing earlier in the year with another instructor. It took just 22 hours for Waseem to turn me from an extremely nervous driver into a safe and confident one. Every lesson he would provide honest feedback and targets for the next session. He corrected all the bad habits I had picked up from previous instructors whilst educating me on why these were dangerous. Out of the three instructors I have had Waseem is the only one I would fully recommend.
Before Was i was terrified of driving and slowly slowly he desensitised me to the fear of driving - he is very calm and very understanding and never gets annoyed. I learnt in a completely new city which is hard but was made it easy but Was - definitely recommend
My driving instructor was fantastic! They helped me refresh my driving skills and adapt to UK roads with patience and clear guidance. Their friendly approach boosted my confidence, and I felt well-prepared for the nuances of driving here. Highly recommend for a positive experience in refining driving skills!
Amazing driving instructor !! Very calm, reassuring and supportive but also gives great honest and constructive feedback. Thank you for your guidance and encouragement which has helped my driving improve massively Highly recommend to anyone looking for an instructor
I couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor than Wass! From the moment I started my lessons with him back in October, I knew I was in good hands. Wass' calm demeanor instantly put me at ease behind the wheel, which was crucial for me as a nervous learner driver. His teaching style is clear and concise, making even the most challenging maneuvers seem manageable. He takes the time to understand his students' individual needs and tailors each lesson accordingly, ensuring steady progress and confidence building. Thanks to Wass' encouragement, I now feel like a confident and capable driver. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a driving instructor who goes above and beyond to ensure success. Thank you, Wass, for everything!!!! Tom
I had an excellent experience with Waseem as my driving instructor. From day one, he was incredibly patient, professional, and supportive. He made sure I understood each concept thoroughly and always provided constructive feedback to help me improve.
Would highly recommend Wass, he is an excellent instructor, very patient and always makes you feel confident on the road. With a first time pass I can’t thank him enough
5 Stars Highly Recommend! I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with Wass. From the very first lesson, he was both patient and encouraging. Wass made sure I felt comfortable behind the wheel, explaining everything in a clear and easy-to-understand way. Whether it was teaching me my manoeuvres or making me feel confident on the road, he was always calm, supportive, and focused on helping me succeed and put up with my many attempts and failures when driving. What I appreciated the most was how much he made sure I was fully prepared for my driving test. I passed on my first attempt, and I couldn’t have done it without his guidance. I highly recommend Pass with Wass to anyone looking for a professional, skilled, and approachable driving instructor. Thank you again for everything!
Adiel is top driving instructor he made my son pass his driving test in just 2 and hald months. I would recommend Adiel to anyone who needs quality driving and fast pass. 🔝🔝
Learning to drive was a daunting experience. Adiel made it simple and stuck with the basic fundamentals. Repetition, nurturing, and reassurance where what really got me through. 5 stars all the way!
I found Xcel driver training after having a bad experience with my previous instructor. Beanie was fantastic in giving me my confidence back, the belief I can do it and reminded me why I began learning to drive in the 1st place! I ultimately passed my driving test today 1st time with 0 Minor driving Faults! Thanks again guys for helping my fulfil my potential.
Rachel she amazing instructor she give me full help to pass my PDI thanks Rachel.
I took lessons with Xcel and Rachel is the nicest most patient person I have ever met. She was so calm to the point she calmed me. I passed first time with the help and confidence Rachel gave me. I also gained a forever friend xx can't thank you enough Rachel x
Jen is a great instructor. I passed first time with her. She is easy to talk to and knows what you need as a pupil.
I was 5.5 months pregnant when i decided i needed to learn to drive. I decided i wanted to do an automatic only crash course as i needed to pass quickly and had heard that Elevate was the best driving school in Nottingham to do this with. I called elevate and was assigned Julian and i honestly couldnt of wished for a better instructor! I was very nervous at the beginning but each lesson i had with Julian i noticed a little bit of the nerves would dissappear. Hes so down to earth and so thorough with his teaching techniques and also very patient! He understood how important it was for me to pass quickly with me being late in pregnancy and managed to get me a test booked for Colwick on bank holiday monday in which i passed first time! All this was completed within 6 weeks and i cannot thank and recommend him and Elevate driving school enough!!!
I recently passed my test after having lessons with Jean. She explained everything in a super helpful and easy to understand manner, building my confidence each week. I would highly recommend Jean to any new learners!
I can’t thank Julian enough. He’s a great instructor, patient and a really down to earth person which makes each lesson 10 times better. I passed my driving test with only one minor first time at a different test centre to where I was learning due to me taking a cancellation and Julian was so supportive and ensured I knew everything I needed to pass. I 100% recommend to anyone to go with Elevate and learn with Julian.
Julian is hands down the best instructor, he has everything that an instructor should have: He is calm in every situation, his patience just never ending and he always straight on point. His teaching method is amazing, we didn't waste even a minute, and successfully tackled all my weaknesses with efficient lessons! I had 25-30 hours of lessons in total with him and passed the practical test with only 6 minors!! ( as he predicted!) I definitely recommend him to everybody! Thanks a lot Julian, you are the best! Best Regards Luis
Julian was brilliant passed 2nd time forst time I had no instructor and filled on serious passed today with elevate with 1 minor I'm so happy thankyou so much for having confidence in me and believing in me
I went to Julian not being able to stay in my lane and had 0 confidence in my abilities to drive. I was adamant I’d never pass… But with all the patience and proper teaching from Julian I finally passed my driving test! I would recommend him time and time again to anyone wanting to pass their driving test confidently knowing they’re a good driver.
Julian Vincent is Professional in what he does but at the same time he makes you feel relaxed and confident in yourself which I needed. He made me feel like a friend NOT TEACHER AND PUPIL .
Julian is such an amazing teacher, he was very thorough with his teaching and explanations, he was very patient and supportive! He was also very friendly, I didn't feel any sort of pressure when driving with him which made my lessons so much more enjoyable. He was always on time and there was good communication outside of lessons. Overall I had a REALLY great experience with Elevate Driving School & Julian, passing second time round, which has a lot to do with Julian's techniques & his hard work. I would most definitely recommend Elevate to anyone. ONE VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER :)
Julian at Elevate was a amazing instructor, I hadn't been in a car trying to drive for a long time, having taken a over 10 year gap in learning. Getting in a car for a two week intensive course leading to a successful pass from Julian's confidence in me and his knowledge and experience on how to get the best out of his learners. Would recommend to anyone to not look anywhere else.
No matter how much I write about Julian it just won't be enough. He's an amazing instructor - patient, perseverant, committed and friendly. He has not only been my driving instructor but my life mentor. He made me believe in myself when I gave up. Bless you Julian, can't thank you enough for making me believe in myself, for going extra miles for me and providing me with all the strength and encouragement. Remember that you are equally credited for my dream coming true- I have a driving license now!!
Julian Vincent was the best instructor my lessons with him was a process I appreciate everyday I learned a lot of good driving skills thanks I had him as my instructor I would recommend any learners
I can not put anything into words to express my gratitude to julian it just would not be enough. I will say absolute amazing bloke and will never forget him without him I would not be were I am know A DRIVER thanks Julian
Big shout out to Julian helped me pass my test first time booked 10hours intensive course and would recommend him to anyone very patient & helps you feel comfortable
🚗 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🚗 I recently passed my driving test with Elevate - Julian, I can honestly say I would definitely recommend this driving school. After failing my driving test a number of times I decided to go for automatic lessons. Every lesson that I had with Julian he made me feel comfortable and relaxed, there was times when I was thinking to give up but Julian supported to me continue which I’m extremely grateful for. What an amazing instructor with great patience and understanding that goes above and beyond for his learners. Thanks again Julian ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
julian is great, I will tell all my friends learn with him. He was patient, and helped me pass in 4 months.
I had 6 (2hour ) lessons with Julian and I've learned a lot from him, he is very professional, accurate, patient and strict with a good sense of humour 😀 also very reliable, he did put my mind at ease when I've panicked, I enjoyed every lesson and always felt that I received good value for my money. I will highly recommend Julian he's by far the best instructor I've ever had. Thanks a lot Julian 10/10⭐ I've passed with 4 minor's.
Julian is an exceptional driving instructor, he has a lot of patience for his pupils and his knowledge really does shine through, i’d recommend him to anyone who’s looking to pass their test.
Julian was amazing through out the whole lessons that I had with him. Aside been patient and observing the mistakes I make frequently and correct them straight away he always motivate me and encourage me to do better on our next lessons. Text date I was under so much pressure and Julian did very well to calm me down and for the first time on a text I pass. I recommend Julian to everyone. He is the best.
Julian should be your first choice when picking driving instructors as he not only surpasses the competition with his friendly and supportive teaching methods, but he'll guarantee you learn to drive efficiently and effectively, so you pass the exam in no time. Additionally, he's endlessly considerate and accommodating to anyone and everyone, no matter the experience. If you find yourself lucky enough to get Julian as your teacher, fret no more and say goodbye to any stress or worries you had about being on the road as those days are a thing of the past. Overall, great teacher, great banter, and all round distinguished person and driving instructor. Would most definitely recommend.
Julian Vincent was very good at his job , knew what to teach me at what time and knew how to clean up my mistakes perfectly and helped me pass first time .
Passed 1st time with Julian and couldn’t recommend him highly enough! 🎉 After struggling on and off with other driving schools I contacted Elevate to start automatic lessons and they put me in a intense driving course. Julian was great, he taught me so much and helped me to adjust my driving skills. Driving with him make me felt like I was an experienced driver and not a learner driver as I felt like I was doing a calm relaxed drive a month ago. Would highly recommend he is the best !!
Passed first time with elevate. Genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. I wasn’t the best driver beforehand but after having lessons with Julian my confidence grew and with that and the knowledge I became a good driver and passed ! Thank you !
Amazing experience learning from Julian, he knows exactly how to get the best out his students, plus he was a genuinely nice guy!!
Julian was very friendly, encouraging and very patient with me. He is a top quality instructor and would recommend him to anyone looking for excellent service.
Julian is a super good coach. I learned for 20+ hours from him. He was so patience and gave support to all new learners. Also, he had his own strategies for improving my driving weaknesses. Thank you very much!
I cannot recommend Julian at Elevate driving school enough, at the grand old age of 41 I had all but given up on passing my driving test, I have had bad experiences in the past & was extremely anxious & nervous about driving, I didn’t think it would ever all click with me & had no confidence whatsoever, Julian changed all of this, he adapted his style of teaching to make everything very easy for me to understand & I finally got it! I passed my test this week & I am still on cloud 9 - it has completely changed my life, I cannot thank Julian enough
Julian was a great instructor, his way of teaching is incredible as you are able to learn things quickly and with ease. He is very patient and friendly, I have already recommended him to a few of my friends!
Another safe driver on the road , thanks to elevate driving school. The scheduling was convenient and Julian was wonderful. I gained much confidence through out our lessons and passed my test on the first try. 💃🏽
Having been learning to drive for two years prior to calling elevate I felt like giving up and not wanting to learn how to drive as that was the impression my previous driving instructor had gave to me. But being the determined and self motivated person I am, I decided against giving up and phoned elevate driving school (They we’re highly recommend)! Having ADHD I find it hard to communicate and sometimes my brain can go into overdrive but my wonderful instructor Julian turned all my faults learned from a prior driving instructor around and ensured I was at test standard providing learning methods that suited me. I honestly cannot thank Julian and elevate driving school enough. Today has been the best day of my life and will ensure my future is bright!❤️
Would highly recommend elevate driving school I passed first time with automatic driving lessons there quality of work is amazing they should be so proud 👏 without there help I wouldn't of got to be where I am with my driving if you want the best then this is the place to go 100% nice friendly people who you can also have a laugh with which helps take of some pressure you maybe feeling If you want the best then elevate is the place to go no doubt about it 😁

I am very grateful to Julian Vincent of Elevate for his care, help, support and effort, for me to pass the practical driving test after many trials and unsuccessful attempts. This is a 5 star performance by Julian. He was very detailed in his lessons, always on time and very patient. Julian is very knowledgeable about the requirements to get a pass at first attempt. I have tried many instructors in Nottingham area, he is the best. Thank you Juilan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Julian is a fabulous instructor, with full of positive energy.He help me to pass my test within 10 classes. One thing I noticed when ever I did mistake,he always happy to see that!!!!! and corrected me. . I will recommend him to my friends. I would like to give 11/10
Julian is a great instructor, very friendly and patient. I will recommended him to anyone wishing to pass their test once.
He was fantastic! He had so much patience and such a high standard of instructing, he was friendly and helpful and the whole experience was fantastic. I passed first time with only 1 minor and that was all thanks to him.
Julian was a superb instructor. Very informative and professional. Helped me build my confidence and taught me how to drive at test standard within 4 months. Would 100% recommend to friends and family!
Julian was patient and able to simplify any complex manuvours. He made driving fun.
I Passed first time with Julian!🎉 Struggled on a few minor things before with other driving schools, but after contacting Julian all went well! My lessons were smooth and straightforward, Julian really does his best to make you feel comfortable and confident. I did intensive 10 hour sessions which allowed me to also cover a lot more test routes, which I believe contributed to my pass! I’m very pleased with the encouragement, patience and skills Julian has passed onto me. I’m a much more confident driver and I look forward to applying these skills on the road in the future👍🏾
Your are the best instructor. your advice makes me to concentrated with my daily life and it is helping me to pass my exam from first time I’m so lucky thank you so much.
The name is Julian. Just look for him if you really need to pass your driving practical test. This man has a midas touch. He will guide you in all humility. He is the magic. Trust me. You shall definitely pass if not the first time. The BEST driving instructor I have ever met. Can't say more. JUST TRY HIM!
Started with Jullian in May, he made me feel comfortable with the drive right from the start. Was really helpful and friendly too, would highly recommend having him as an instructor. Got me my pass 1st time 💯
Julian....I call him a wizard😀😀 he is good at his job, very knowledgeable of the nitty-gritty of the test standard. I cannot forget the drawings, landmarks and reference points in a hurry😀😀. He is so patient, always supportive, professional and ensures you get it right even if it means going over it again. If there was a 10star rating, I will give it to Julian for a job well done. Thank you
Through friend’s recommendation
Best driving instructor ever. Made me feel so relaxed and at ease from the moment I first got into his car. I wouldn’t have passed my test as quick as I did without juilan.
Been around mr Julian Vincent is awesome n 2nd to none,i love his professionalism,seriousness n he will stretch u to ur limit just for anyone to pass his or her test,he is jovial n doesn't play with his job,i also love his integrity,sincerity n he is time conscious 😉 ❤, infact words can't describe his personality...all i can say again is his is 2nd to none...love u mr Julian Vincent you wipe away my tears n gave me a platform to soar to my next level in life.... love u n wish you all the best.
Julian was the best instructor ever! He made me a good driver from the very beginner entry level and I owe so much to him, I strongly recommend him to everyone that wants to learn how to drive!
I would highly recommend Elevate Driving School. I was taught by Julian who made me feel really comfortable and always pushed me to do the best of my abilities. He always brightened up a rainy day and never failed to make me smile! Thank you Julian for being you!! I wouldn’t of been able to do it without you
Elevate driving school and especially Julian my driving instructor have been amazing! Supportive and overall one of the best experiences of my life! I really didn't think driving was for me but Julian gave me the confidence to carry on and his teachings are exceptional 1st class! I really can't express how grateful I am to him as I'm a very closed book with lots of insecuritys, but he has a great way of finding away in and teaching to not only your needs but too a high standed! His everlasting jokes quick wit and great sense of humour are only a fraction of how much I can thank him. And the commitment he puts in to his pupils is outstanding. In a nutshell he's a fantastic driving instructor and I will recommend him to everyone who's thinking of driving 🚗! Thanks Julian my life begins at 43 PASS!!!!!!!!! 🚦
Cannot thank Julian at Elevate Driving school enough. From being a nervous driver to a confident one in the space of a few months. His patience and calm manner made me feel very comfortable in the car, learning the safety of the road whilst having a laugh. 100% recommend.
For so long I believed that having a driving license was an impossible dream for me. This feeling was only increased what I had a truly awful experience with a previous driving instructor. Needless to say I parted ways with that instructor. I had heard nothing but positive things in regards to Elevate and from the very first communication with them I was put at ease and felt listened to. I was given Julian as my instructor and from our very first lesson I knew this was the perfect fit for me. Due to my previous experience I was extremely nervous. As our lessons progressed my confidence and skills grew and it became more and more apparent to me how low my level of driving was from my previous instructor who had told me repeatedly I was test ready and didn’t need more knowledge just more confidence! At each and every stage of my learning journey Julian adapted and tailored his teaching methods to suit my learning style. After a few short months of training I had my first driving test since my time joining Elevate. Unfortunately, on test day the pressure was too much and I didn’t get through successfully. Julian remained as supportive as ever and went above and beyond and by the powers that be managed to get me another test on the tenth following day. Within those ten days Julian continued to adapt his learning methods to suit me and again went above and beyond by offering me the opportunity to sit in the back of the car on another pupils lesson in order to see the pressure from another angle. Today I have just touched down in Jamaica being able to celebrate the fact that yesterday I achieved what for so long felt like a dream to me and passed my driving test. Not only did I pass I almost had a perfect drive with only one minor on route back to the rest centre. I really believe that without Julian going above and beyond each and every step of the way, believing in me and empowering me to believe in myself that I wouldn’t have achieved passing my driving test so skilled and confidently. I truly would ONLY recommend Julian and his team at Elevate to anyone for driving lessons. Simply put Julian is the G.O.A.T in the driving world and I will always be grateful for my learning experience with him.
Julian is such a great driving instructor Not only was he a good instructor to teach me to drive, he created an atmosphere of what life would be like driving once passed. I passed 1st time, this speaks for itself.
My experience of the Elevate Driving School has been exceptional! I couldn’t have wished for a better instructor than Julian who, through his years of experience and great teaching techniques, made me feel very confident on the day of my test where I passed first time. He went above and beyond to make sure I was progressing my driving well, whilst also being incredibly kind and charismatic - which made my lessons very enjoyable. Having compared to other instructors, I can truly say that he has an incredible teaching style and is an outstanding instructor - which is not a given. I completely recommend and vouch for Elevate Driving School and their 10/10 service!
Julian Vincent's driver learning experience was a game changer for me. He took the time out to find out and listen to my previous experiences and make a conscious effort to make sure that it was different with him. He took his time to make sure that I understood everything I was doing and the importance of it. He made sure that I aimed for perfection and didn't settle for anything less. I could see he had a genuine passion to ensure I became a safe and responsible driver. Julian has a great aura which also was something I bounced off, he always was in good spirits which just made the crash course a great experience for me. For me the crash course is worth the value, I will be recommending to anyone!
Julian is a great instructor who is determined to help his pupils pass. He is very patient. I give him 10/10 minus 0. I will definitely recommend him.
I began my automatic intensive crash course with Julian in February. It is now May, and I have passed not only my theory test but my practical test too! I passed first time and I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to start driving, especially if you aim to be on the roads ASAP! I never thought I’d be on the road this early, but thanks to Julian and everyone at Elevate they have made this possible for me with their amazing instructors and service.
Passed an automatic crash course with Julian at elevate and I Couldn’t thank him enough. Passed first time with only 1 minor at chilwell :D would highly recommend Julian (and elevate) he always makes you feel comfortable and safe and it’s never boring also and always a laugh while being taught so it never makes you feel uncomfortable. I have a young daughter and one on the way and Julian always made time to fit me in with my “mummy” schedule and to what suited me best. Really appreciated fitting me in when I could only do certain days and times, I couldn’t thank you enough for learning me how to drive, with two young kids it’s just what I needed! So Thank you very much! Rebecca
Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Not once did I feel anxious about anything, was always having a laugh. I would recommend him to anyone who was looking to pass fast and first time. Thank you to julian for helping me pass first time with no minors!
Julian took me on with recently failing a test and low on confidence. Weeks later I know have passed my test and feel 100x confident. Makes the lessons fun and relaxing and helped be a safe and confident driver. He’s the 🐐.
Julian is a great instructor, who uses in my opinion the best methods to making someone who has never driven before into a great and very safe driver. Thank you again for helping pass my test👊🏼
Julian is very nice instructor I pass my test in 1st time crash course thank you Julian 🙏
Out of the 3 instructors I had Julian was by far the best. He understood how I processed information adapted to my learning style. I’m glad to have found him, it would have take way longer without him.
I have had an excellent experience with an exceptional highly skilled and experienced driving instructor ( Julian). My lessons has been full of Respect, Fun and Holistic. I just passed my practical driving test this morning! I will recommend Elevate Driving school to my friends, family and colleagues.
Julian really helped ease my nerves and made my driving lessons chilled and enjoyable I honestly cant recommend him enough !!! So if your looking for a instructor get on the phone to elevate driving school and ask for Julian he might even teach you some of his amazing karaoke skills and throw in some of his amazing jokes aswell
I simply don’t have words that can describe and pay gratitude to my amazing instructor Julian enough. He is so professional, patient, polite and ensures to fine tune your areas of weaknesses. I have been lucky to have him as my instructor and thankful to him for transforming me into a confident, relaible and intelligent driver on the road. I have passed my exam today and truly enjoyed entire experience of learning with Julian. Thanks for giving me life lessons. Respect to you for making this dream possible into reality. My prayer points have now become my testimonies. Julian is so easy to get on with, really friendly and a great instructor. He makes you feel very calm and allows you goes at your own pace. I will recommend Julian any day anytime to all my friends and family when they are looking for an excellent instructor. Thanks for everything you’ve done especially with the manoeuvre, parallel parking, traffic lights, road signs and speed limits. Julian a very calm and kind instructor. He makes lessons so fun, I 100% guarantee that if you have him as your driving instructor you will be on the right path to learning how to drive very well an become confident on the road. Think driving success! Think Elevate. Elevate still the best. Tested and trusted.
Absolutely amazing instructor, he made me feel so comfortable straight away after having a bad experience with a previous instructor! He is very professional and an absolute pleasure to be around, he made driving feel normal and not being made to feel under pressure 😁 would definitely recommend Julian and Elevate Driving School.
He’s great, so nice such a good laugh and helped me passed 1st time in 5 months
I initially took driving lessons when I was nineteen and felt prepared for the next step towards independence. I went through a series of driving instructors from various driving schools in Nottingham who I felt had little empathy or awareness when it came to my dyscalculia. This initially made driving stressful for me as I process information differently. My willingness to then drive had taken a nose dive until I started lessons with Elevate. Julian my instructor caught on quickly to how I process information and he tailored lessons in order suit how I learn. It became clear to see that Julian is a very experienced and inspirational driving instructor who made each and every lesson engaging and fun. He has extensive knowledge of best driving practice and he built up my confidence tremendously with each lesson. I passed my practical driving test on the second attempt today with only one minor, this is something I never thought would be a possibility for me. I am forever grateful to Julian at Elevate.
I'm delighted to share my positive experience with my driving instructor Julian, He played a crucial role in boosting my confidence and skills, especially when I was feeling discouraged. Thanks to his patient guidance and effective teaching methods, I successfully passed my driving test within just Few months. I highly recommend Elevate driving school to anyone in need of expert and supportive driving lessons.
I would highly recommend Julian as your driving instructor. I'm quite an anxious person at times and failed my test in a manual car 20 years ago. At 56 years young I thought I would give myself one last chance at learning to drive in an automatic car. Julian put me totally at ease, gave the confidence and driving skills I needed to pass my test 1st time. Driving lessons with Julian were enjoyable which helped me to learn to drive. He is a positive, professional and down to earth driving instructor. Thanks Julian
It is reassuring when you desired something and you received it. Undoubtedly, in Julian, I found all I desired to make my driving an excellent experience. Julian is not just a driving instructor, he is a driving teacher. Permit me to ascribe the portfolio of a Professor of Driving to Julian. Julian is humble, tolerant and accommodating. Julian goes the extra mile to inculcate the best driving skills to you. He is very professional, meticulous and highly skilled in the art of driving. As a product of his instruction, I make bold to say that Julian has by his consistent excellent instruction made Elevate Driving School a place of choice for all intending learners. Ofcourse, you can't give what you don't have. Julian gave me what he has and what he has was all I needed. I will conclude by saying that I was not recommended by anyone to Elevate Driving School. I only got their details online and read many reviews about them. I also listened to their Radio Advert at KEMET FM Nottingham. Indeed, what the reviews said, in addition to the advertisement on Radio are the true position of this brand, known as Elevate. Conclusively, I wouldn't have had a better driving experience than what I have got from Elevate Driving School, particularly through the instruction of JULIAN. I recommend ELEVATE DRIVING SCHOOL WHOLEHEARTEDLY, without any reservations.
I passed first time with Julian, he is a great driving instructor, after having 2 bad driving instructors in the past, I was so happy to find one that could teach me how to drive to a good standard.
Iv just passed my crash course with Julian in automatic , Julian was polite friend reliable with no pressure Julian reassured me that I was fine and to enjoy the experience with no pressure as I suffer with anxiety it helped a lot great experience and great outcome over all highly recommend.
Best driving school in Nottingham by far…. I had tried a couple of other driving schools before I started with Elevate and both my previous driving instructors couldn’t support me nor did they have the patience or expertise I was looking for… I rang Elevate in February and they put me onto an Intensive Driving Course with an instructor called Julian and we clicked immediately, he was hands down way better than my previous 2 driving instructors… He worked out how to get the best out of me and adapted his teaching techniques so it suited me… Absolutely amazing instructor and I passed my driving test 5 weeks later in a different town… I honestly felt like I could drive anywhere .. Don’t waste your money going anywhere else for an Intensive Driving Course, IMO this driving school could be the best in the Country …
Huge thanks to Julian. A kind and patient instructor for the great support provided all through my learning with elevate driving school. Not only is he a great instructor who makes it easy, comfortable and enjoyable to learn, he won't get mad or annoyed if you mess up in anyway, very helpful and friendly throughout the whole process, he gave me wonderful tips and tricks to help me remembering the more difficult parts of driving and I had an amazing experience with him. Julian is an excellent communicator with many years of professional driving experience!. I would recommend Julian from elevate driving school to anyone who is trying to learn how to drive and pass easily. Thank you Julian for everything! Ay
Julian Vincent was great! I would tell my friends to learn with him. He was very patient, and help led to me pass in 4 months. He often draws pictures to help me understand traffic rules and repeats English for me and made videos for me also. I can remember my kind Coach always!
Julian Vincent is a very good instructor and also a great person, he was very helpful and patient with me although I have no previous experience with cars or driving a car but he was very nice and polite and I passed first time. I will definitely recommend Elevate Driving School to anyone who wants a great instructor.
Julian vincent was great! I've already told my friends and family to learn with him. He helped me to pass 1st TIME in four months.
Julian is the man to take your lessons with don’t waste your money going anywhere else I passed 1st time with Julian he made me feel so comfortable with each lesson listening to music is the one when on the lesson had a good laugh with him
I’ve had rubbish instructors in the past but Julian gave me hope again. Thank you for your patience and for being so accommodating to my working hours. Being a natural comedian is an added bonus haha. Thank you!!
Best experience I could ever of asked for. From the moment I met Julian he put me at ease and help me to learn to reduce and manage what he calls driving anexity. Julian helped to focus in on what me bigger fears in my case were roundabouts and we worked on perfecting my understanding on how to approach them and understanding on how to read them. I passed first time and will be forever greatful for Julian's support. Would highly recommend!!!! Thank You!!!!!
I can’t thank Julian enough, he took me on when my previous instructor let me down very badly, from my first lesson with Julian I felt so relaxed, his training methods are second to none, the man is an exceptional human being I honestly can’t thank him enough, I would recommend him to anyone, thank you so much mate, friends for life 🙏
Julian was fantastic for me after I was let down badly by a previous instructor, he mad me feel very comfortable from my first lesson, his training methods are second to none
Julian was so good we with as I was so nervous about driving he was patient with me the best driving lessons iv ever had
Julian was great instructor , very happy which made the lessons fun and found learning with Julian really easily. Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor.
I passed my driving test!! Thank you to Julian the best driving instructor. He was so patient with me and believed in me the whole time. Can’t thank him enough. 100% recommend.
Julian is an absolutely amazing instructor who makes you feel so relaxed, and goes above and beyond to help you pass I would definitely recommend him.
I started lessons with Julian 5 weeks ago with a fear of driving, after lessons with Julian and his support I was able to pass my test first time with ease. I tried multiple other instructors in Nottingham and never made any progress, I was close to giving up due to the anxiety , I would have never passed or been as confident without Julian’s help!!!
Julian my instructor is the best. He easily identifies your driving needs and he trains on it . I passed my test on my 1st attempt with 22hrs lessons with him. He is reliable ,good time management, good human relation,polite ,pleasant , experienced ,professional and a PRO at his job Thank you Julian Call Elevate and speak to Julian if you reside in and around NOTT and wants to pass your test .
Julian was amazing! He was extremely patient, encouraging and supportive during my time on the intensive course. He made me believe I could do it and I did! I would not hesitate to recommend Julian to anybody!
Big thank you to Julian, everything that you taught it was really useful in the real test and also made the different on how I drive as well.
Julian was absolutely amazing. I struggle with anxiety and panic disorder and find it hard in certain situations however Julian was patient and understanding and was very patient with me. I did the intensive automatic course and started in early September and passed in October 100% recommend
I would highly recommend jullian from Elevate driving school, he recommended an additional 15hrs and I passed in under 10. One happy customer :)
Absolutely fantastic instructor would highly recommend to everyone. His knowledge is amazing and will know exactly how long you need and what to work on. I passed first time because he made sure I was test ready.
My instructor Julian was amazing! He helped and guided me to pass first try in only 4 weeks. I had never driven before and could not of had a better experience. I couldn’t recommend Julian and Elevate enough thankyou for everything!
Great!
Great instructor. 5/5. Recommend!!
Cannot recommend this driving school enough! Tried with 3 other driving schools previously and was never comfortable enough to carry on with lessons. Soon as I met Zakia she made me feel so comfortable and at ease and was so reassuring! She was very patient with me and I never thought I would pass my driving test but here I am! Thank you Zakia I owe you so much! Let’s start with a Nando’s lol! ❤️❤️
You’ve been the most encouraging part of this success. Even when I failed, you never lost any hope in me. Thanks again Zakia again❤️❤️🙌
You are a great teacher, wish I had met you earlier!!
Fantastic instructor, very patient and empathetic towards the learner. I was very nervous and anxious to learn to drive but zakia put me and ease and gave me the confidence to achieve my dreams of driving. Thanks zakia
Best driving instructor I’ve ever had . She’s very patient and really good at what she does and helped me pass in 11 days .
What a wonderful instructor, very lovely and patient, not after helping you just pass but also making you a safe driver. I’ve enjoyed my lessons with Zakia and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to be a safer driver!
Thank you, amazing instructor felt relaxed the whole time xx
Zakia was amazing. I was a refresher learner and she helped me not only to improve my driving skills but also to build confidence on myself, what allowed me to start enjoying driving. I would 100% recommend Zakia to anyone who is looking for a driving instructor.
Please working with you, thanks for keeping me calm and pushing me to get things right!
Zakia is a great driving instructor. I always felt safe with her and she helped to get my confidence on the road. I was given a brilliant encouragement whilst learning and in every lesson I would learn something new. Would recommend!
After passing my test years ago, but loosing confidence and not driving for many years, I booked a few lessons with Zakia, expecting that it would take me a long time to build my confidence back up. Zakia was so kind and put me at ease straight away, so that I was driving on my own again after the first lesson! She didn’t make light of anything that I was anxious about, she was very patient and none of my questions were too silly for her. The lessons always passed so quickly because we spent the whole time chatting, but she was always on the ball and giving helpful feedback where necessary. After just a few lessons I am now more confident than I have ever been and actually starting to feel relaxed when driving. If anyone is struggling with anxiety over driving, I would definitely recommend Zakia.
Thank you so much for the lessons and patience Zakia! I’m so glad to have finally achieved the pass. I needed a teacher who would stick by my side through the process. Sometimes the confidence takes more time then the practical skill :)
I'm so grateful to Zakia for her patience, kindness and encouragement. I was so anxious about driving, and she helped me identify why that was happening and what to do to overcome it. I would recommend to anyone, but particularly those that lack confidence initially.
Zakia was great! She was calm and patient, and helped me pass quickly. Thanks a lot!
Couldn’t recommend Zakia more highly, especially if you are anxious about driving! I put driving off for three years because I was so nervous but she helped me build my confidence up and push past my nerves. So friendly and chatty. I couldn’t do it with any other instructor, thank you!
Zakia was a really great instructor. She was very patient with me and knew how to deal with me being a more nervous driver. I have now passed my test and would definitely recommend learning with her.
I recently passed my practical driving test with Javid as my instructor. He was super helpful and encouraging from the start, and he explained everything to me in such a calm and easy way. He was always very patient, and really friendly too. This made the test far less stressful! I would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn how to drive! 10/10. Always thoroughly enjoyed my lessons and will definitely be recommending to friends.
I passed on Wednesday with Jav, he’s a fantastic instructor, super friendly and super patient. He explains things in a way that is easy to understand and has a real investment in his learners! Absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to get passed safely and quickly!
Great driving instructor, very friendly and easy going which made learning to drive stress free. I was able to pass comfortably because of this. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to drive.
Javid is an excellent instructor and has a great attitude towards his learners. His encouraging and kind manner allowed me to feel comfortable behind the wheel. This let me progress easily which led me to pass. I highly recommend this driving school!
Jav is an absolutely fantastic instructor. He's friendly, patient, and made every lesson comfortable and enjoyable. He knows exactly what makes a good driver, and was excellent at identifying my weakest points and making sure I was always being challenged and was always progressing. I just passed on my first attempt and I owe it to Jav, I highly recommend him to anyone.
Aroon was an excellent instructor. I feel like a confident driver and he prepared me very well for the driving test. Highly recommend!
Amazing patient instructor super helpful and understanding. Highly recommend - will get you to pass.
Very approachable and nice instructor. My husband says I am an excellent, vigilant driver thanks to Aroon. Passed my test today at Watnall and the lessons I had in the area were perfectly tailored for my test! Thank you for your instruction!
Best driver instructor. Nice guy.. Good teacher. Passed from 1st attempt at Colwick.
Thank you so much to Aroon for helping me pass my driving. Best of the few instructors I had. Taught me quickly and professionally. Would recommend him to anyone looking to learn how to drive.
Thanks to Aroon who helped me pass my driving test 1st time. Easy to get along with, always calm and gets the job done! Thanks once again for the help you have provided. Would definitely recommend!
Aroon is a great instructor - passed first time thanks to him teaching me from scratch. He is thorough, doesn't miss anything and helped me massively with anything i struggled with, and he's a sound guy all round. Would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive.
Aroon - a friendly, talented and thorough instructor who makes you feel very comfortable and knows what he’s talking about - couldn’t have passed without his patience and guidance. I have now passed a confident driver and will highly recommend. Thanks Aroon!!!!
