Hi, my name is Nasir—though most people call me Nas—and I'm a driving instructor based in the Nottingham area. I'm here to guide and support you through every step of learning to drive, helping you build the skills and confidence needed to pass your test and drive safely for life. I'm a fully qualified DVSA-approved driving instructor and DBS-checked, offering manual driving lessons across Nottingham. With many years of experience, I've developed a teaching approach that is flexible, structured, and tailored to each individual. I believe every learner is different, so I provide a bespoke driving tuition experience where each lesson is carefully planned to help you get the most out of your time behind the wheel. Throughout my career I've also built up valuable experience working with pupils with a range of additional needs, including ADHD, anxiety, autism, and similar conditions, and I'm well-practised in adapting my approach to ensure every learner feels comfortable, understood, and supported at every stage of their journey. My aim is to make learning to drive not only effective but also enjoyable, so you feel motivated and confident as you progress. I create a calm and supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace, whether you're a complete beginner or preparing for your driving test. My focus is not just on helping you pass, but on developing safe driving habits, good awareness, and the confidence to handle real-world driving situations. I teach in a manual Vauxhall Viva (petrol), offering a practical and comfortable learning experience. I cover the Nottingham area, including the Colwick and Chilwell test centres. I can also cover additional test centres such as Loughborough, Melton Mowbray, and Grantham by prior arrangement, as I understand how challenging it can be to secure a test. If your test is outside Nottingham, I'm happy to discuss options with you. I can provide lessons in English, Urdu, Punjabi, and Hindi, making learning more accessible and comfortable for a wide range of learners. I look forward to helping you start your driving journey and supporting you every step of the way.

Hi, I'm Talib, a patient and supportive driving instructor based in the Nottingham area, specialising in helping nervous learners build confidence behind the wheel. I'm a fully qualified DVSA-approved driving instructor and DBS-checked, offering automatic driving lessons across Nottingham and surrounding areas. My pupils often describe me as calm, encouraging, and highly supportive. I aim to motivate each learner to progress at a steady pace while also helping them reach their full potential as efficiently as possible. I have successfully helped many learners pass their driving test—often on the first attempt—through a focused and structured approach. Every lesson is tailored to your individual needs and learning style, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported throughout. I also have experience teaching neurodivergent pupils, adapting my approach to suit how each person learns best. For example, with learners who find verbal instructions overwhelming in the moment, I'll break manoeuvres down into smaller, clearly signposted steps and use the same consistent routine each time, so the process becomes familiar and predictable rather than stressful. While passing your test is important, my main goal is to help you become a safe, confident, and independent driver for life. I teach in a comfortable Toyota Corolla Hybrid, providing a smooth and relaxed driving experience. I cover the Colwick, Chilwell, and Grantham test centres, and I can offer lessons in English, Urdu, Hindi, and Arabic. Book your first lesson today and experience calm, professional instruction focused on real progress and lasting confidence.
