Learning to drive with someone that speaks Urdu is always a plus - it makes explanations clearer and can help with setting driving expectations.
Here is our breakdown for learning to drive in Aberdeen with a Urdu speaking instructor.
The number of people in the UK that speak Urdu is 269,000, that is 0.5% of the population. The driving test is quite different in the UK compared to Pakistan. You will be driving on real roads and instead of avoiding cones you will have to obey real world situations.
Aberdeen was named as Mercer's 5 livable cities in Britain and one of the top eight cities leading the United Kingdom's economy. Aberdeen has the lowest unemployment in Scotland.
Shehzad was great. He was patient, and helped me pass in 2 months.
Excellent instructor who was patient with my frustration in trying to unlearn old habits and learn some new skills. Patient, clear and communicative, Shehzad gave me all the tools I needed to make the best of my lesson and was very honest about my progress. Really grateful for Shehzad’s help.
Shehzad was great! He helped me pass my test in 3 months with only 2 minors. Would highly recommend to anyone who are considering taking driving lessons.
I've had a 25 hours learning with Mr Alam. From can't understand manual driving at all to comfortable with driving a manual car. He is very patient and giving great useful feedback to assist on learning the right way of driving. Love his lessons and also positive encouragement on things that I've done well during the lessons. Highly recommend for those who like to have a calm, positive, humorous and focused driving instructor.
Shehzad was great with me, took me from the very start and was able to work around my schedule and helped me pass with 1 minor fault. I would highly recommend him with anyone look to start out.
Excellent instructor , flexible and understands your requirements. I just came from Sri Lanka and was driving with my foriegn licence and passed the uk test first time zero faults.
He was very professional, and he catered exactly for my needs.
Shehzad is a great instructor, Helped me pass first time. He's very patient and caters well to your needs and experience. I highly recommend👍
Mr Allam is by far the best instructor I’ve ever had (& I’ve had 5!) Every lesson is a mock test. He comes prepared with a plan of action and continuously tracks your progress. During the lesson, he writes everything down: what went well and what needs improving – both in terms of driving skills and particular test routes that were a bit trickier for the student. Everything you do during your lesson is designed for you to pass your test. Mr Allam does not waste time practicing skills or routes that will not be on your test. When you’re ready he’ll increase the tempo and intensity of the lessons, which means lessons can become intense but hang in there. He is overpreparing you and you’ll end up finding the test really easy. I passed first time with 3 minors. I found driving lessons really daunting with my previous instructors but Mr Allam’s professionalism, kindness, and humour made me look forward to the lessons.
I recently passed my driving test in the first try and it was thank to Mr. Sheshad. He is a professional and an expert in providing driving lessons in a his own unique way. I really appreciate his patience and the punctuality. I would recommend Mr. Sheshad for anyone no matter how new you are to driving.
I undertook 10 hours of refresher lessons with Shehzad (5 x 2 hour lessons) as I had not driven in 7 years. The ability to take evening and weekend lessons was very useful. The lessons were excellent and I found myself getting back up to speed very quickly. At Shehzad's suggestion, I undertook the 'Pass Plus' course during the first six hours. This allowed me to gain a variety of experience on different roads and in different conditions. Shehzad has a very calm manner and explains things clearly which makes it easy to learn. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for driving lessons or wishing to undertake the 'Pass Plus' course.
He was a very good instructor and very patient
Shedzad was a great driving instructor very accommodating and patient . Thanks for the guidance to help me pass first time.
Shehzad was clear and calm with instructions, and good at communicating complicated processes. He's honest and while he will correct you he'll also give praise for a job well done. Friendly, funny, knowledgeable and just an all around good teacher.
Shehzad was a really great instructor, he was my instructor for half a year was professional, very patient and I felt I was making progress every session. I have been lucky to have him as my instructor and thankful to him for transforming me into a confident driver on the road. I passed my exam with him a few months ago and truly enjoyed entire experience of learning. Thank you Shehzad
Shehzad was a great, patient and jolly instructor. He explained each scenario really well and told me how to improve from my mistakes. Thanks to him, I managed to pass first time.
Shehzad is a very patient, calm and knowledgeable instructor. I was requiring some refresher lessons having not driven for many years and ended up passing the pass plus course thanks to Shehzad's tuition. I will definitely be recommending him to any friends and family who are looking for driving instruction.
Shehzad was a great instructor who stepped in after my previous instructor became unavailable. He quickly identified and corrected my driving technique where needed, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn efficiently and make fast progress.
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 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.

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!
Shaziya was a fantastic instructor - very calm and patient. She took the time to explain everything properly and made me feel relaxed behind the wheel. She had lots of experience to share, and lots of the material she shared with me about learning to drive and how to prepare for the test helped me pass my test first time with only 1 minor. Recommend.
