Driving Lessons in The Avenues, Newland & Derringham (HU5)
Not every learner in HU5 wants the same thing from a driving instructor.
A first year student living off Cottingham Road needs something completely different from a parent in Derringham booking lessons for two teenagers, or a professional on one of the tree-lined Avenues fitting lessons around a nine to five.
Our driving lessons across The Avenues, Newland and Derringham are designed to flex around whoever is actually sitting in the car, not a fixed idea of what a learner looks like.

Three Very Different Postcodes, One Course That Adapts
Princes Avenue and the leafy streets branching off Chanterlands Avenue attract a lot of professionals learning later than most, often after years of relying on buses or lifts.
Newland, sitting close to the University of Hull along Cottingham Road, brings a steady stream of students who need lessons that fit around lectures, not the other way round.
Derringham further out feels more suburban again, quieter roads, more families, more learners booking together.
None of that changes how a lesson is taught, but it changes when it happens and how it’s paced.
A 19 year old with three lectures a week and a 45 year old professional with two evenings free are not getting the same timetable, and they shouldn’t be.

Princes Avenue, Cottingham Road And Beverley Road Cover Almost Everything
Most of what a test route actually contains shows up within a mile of Pearson Park. Princes Avenue brings pedestrian crossings, cyclists and parked cars close together, which forces proper mirror checks long before it becomes second nature.
Cottingham Road adds bus lanes and the kind of steady traffic flow that catches out anyone who’s only practised on quiet estates. Beverley Road, running along the edge of Newland, throws roundabouts and multi-lane junctions into the mix.
It’s a genuinely useful road to learn on, busy enough to matter but predictable enough that mistakes here don’t turn into anything serious. A learner who’s comfortable on all three rarely finds anything on the actual test route unfamiliar.
Booking Around Term Time, Not Against It
University terms don’t line up neatly with driving lesson availability, and turning up to a lesson exhausted after three lectures doesn’t help anyone learn faster.
Lessons here can be booked in short, flexible bursts during term, then stepped up during reading weeks or over the summer when there’s more time to actually focus.
Deadlines and exams take priority, and that’s fine. A pause of a few weeks doesn’t mean starting over, since notes from earlier lessons carry forward regardless of the gap.
Families In Derringham Learning Together
Two or three siblings learning to drive within a year or two of each other is common in Derringham, and coordinating that shouldn’t fall entirely on a parent juggling everyone’s calendar.
Booking multiple learners with the same instructor keeps things simple, one point of contact, one diary, consistent pricing across the board.
Quieter roads around Derringham Bank and the estates off Willerby Road also make a genuinely good starting point for a nervous first timer, family member or not.
Learn to Understand, Not Just Memorise
New learners sometimes expect to be handed a script, brake here, check there, repeated every week without much explanation. That’s not really how this works.
Instructors explain why a manoeuvre matters, not just how to do it, because understanding a roundabout beats memorising one.
Pace matters more than covering a fixed number of topics per hour. If something isn’t sticking, the next lesson picks up from there rather than moving on regardless.
What It Actually Costs
Pricing that changes once you’re already committed is a common complaint about driving schools, and it’s one we’ve built the whole pricing page around avoiding.
The hourly rate stays the same whether it’s your first driving lesson or your fortieth, and block booking brings the total down without conditions attached later.
An intensive driving course is available for anyone working toward a fixed test date, packing ten, twenty or thirty hours into a short block with car hire included on the day itself.
Refresher driving lessons are priced the same way for returning drivers, usually just a handful of hours rather than a full course.
The Weeks Before Your Test
A full mock test happens before the real one gets booked, run exactly like the DVSA version, independent driving, the sat nav, show me tell me questions, manoeuvres, the emergency stop. Nothing about test day should feel unfamiliar by the time it arrives.
Understanding what actually fails a test, a serious fault rather than a minor one, changes how learners handle small mistakes under pressure. That distinction gets explained properly, not just mentioned in passing.

PLEASE READ UNTIL THE VERY END!!!
Please read this to the end before judging by the star rating alone. I arranged my lessons with Nabeel Akbar privately, not through this company, and only discovered afterwards that this is where he works. This isn't a random complaint against an unconnected business - he works here, which is why I'm posting it on this page, so people know not to book lessons with him. I'm not accusing the school itself of anything; my experience was with Nabeel directly. I've attached a photo of the car he was using so there's no confusion about which instructor I mean.
The main issue, from the very beginning, was punctuality. Nabeel was late to almost every single lesson. This wasn't one or two occasions where something unexpected came up - it became a repeated, predictable pattern over the weeks I had lessons with him. The 8am to 10am slot was his own suggestion, not mine, so it wasn't as if I had pushed him into an inconvenient time and then complained he couldn't manage it. I travel from further away than he does, and I still made a point of arriving around ten minutes early every time. On the rare occasions I thought I might be even two or three minutes late, I had the courtesy to message him in advance. That basic courtesy was never returned.
Every time he arrived late he said the same thing: don't worry, I'll make it up at the end. It repeatedly did not happen. Instead, the lesson would still finish 10-15 minutes early. When I questioned this, he told me the remaining time was a debrief. I understand a debrief is a normal part of a lesson - a few minutes discussing what went well and what to work on. But when a lesson has already started late, and then finishes early on top of that, and the missing time is explained away as a debrief, it means losing the same paid time twice, every single time. This wasn't a one-off - it was the routine.
Then there is what my paid lesson time was actually used for. During one lesson I noticed the car was almost out of petrol, and rather than this being sorted before my lesson started, I was told to pull in and fill the car up myself, in the middle of time I was paying for. Around two days later, he pulled over again mid-lesson - not for anything to do with my driving, but so I could look at his phone and help him with something related to a different car he was personally selling. Neither of those things is driving instruction. Neither is what I was paying for. My lesson time was being spent on his errands, not my learning.
Questions were another issue. I am a learner - asking questions is the entire point of having an instructor. But when I asked things, he regularly responded with visible frustration or irritation, as if I was being a nuisance for wanting to understand something properly. It made me hesitant to ask, which defeats the purpose of a lesson.
To be fair, I never expected perfection. Traffic happens, people are occasionally late, and on a genuine one-off I wouldn't have said a word. My issue was that this happened almost every lesson, and I still didn't receive the time I had paid for. When I eventually raised it with him calmly, he became defensive, raised his voice at me, and told me I should simply accept him being around ten minutes late as normal. I was a paying customer raising a legitimate concern, not insulting him or demanding anything unreasonable, yet I was made to feel like I was the unreasonable one. More recently, when I told him I did not want to pay in cash, his attitude towards me afterwards made things worse again.
None of this was one bad day - it was a clear pattern. Based on my own experience, I cannot recommend Nabeel Akbar, and I want anyone considering lessons with him to know exactly what it was like.

Amazing experience, totally recommend to any new learners. My instructor was Arifa and she was amazing when it came to teaching me, I was taught in a calm , patient and caring manner, in the beginning I was very nervous but with her help I managed to overcome my fears and learn how to drive within 3-4 months. I passed my practical exam first time so i’m confident enough to tell any new students to learn with this driving school!

I highly recommend Waqar as a driving instructor. As an adult learner, I was very nervous about learning to drive, but his patience and calm approach quickly put me at ease. I passed my test first time thanks to his excellent teaching. He is very knowledgeable and always encourages you to improve and become a better driver. Thank you, Waqar, for all your support!

Thanks to Zeba, I passed my ADI Part 2 on my first attempt in Tolworth on Friday with only 3 minors.
She is an amazing instructor with a fantastic personality and a real passion for what she does. She pays close attention to detail and teaches you everything you need to know. Her teaching techniques are clear, effective, and easy to follow.
I was really struggling with the Scilly Roundabout, but Zeba went above and beyond to help me. She even sought advice from her senior instructor and used different teaching techniques until we found an approach that worked for me.
No matter how many times I asked the same questions, she was always patient, friendly, and ready to help. Her dedication, encouragement, and commitment to her pupils made all the difference.
I would highly recommend Zeba to anyone preparing for their ADI tests. Thank you for all your support. I couldn't have done it without you 🙂

I had a great experience learning with Zeba. I already hold an EU licence, but adapting to driving in the UK was quite challenging at first, especially getting used to the road rules and left-hand traffic. Zeba explained everything clearly and helped me build confidence quickly.
Thanks to her guidance, I now feel comfortable driving on UK roads, including handling roundabouts and adjusting to driving on the left-hand side. She is always punctual, professional, and reliable. I also really appreciated that she didn’t require advance payment for lessons, which made the whole process much less stressful. I would highly recommend her.

I had my driving test today and passed, and a lot of that comes down to Mr Shah. In just a few weeks, he helped me improve my driving quickly and focus on the areas that actually mattered for the test.
He’s friendly and easy to get along with, but also gives clear and honest feedback, which made a big difference. Lessons were always structured and useful, and I felt more confident each time.
Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable driving instructor.

It was great. Zeba is a great teacher, she helped me a lot to get less stressed when there is a lot of traffic. She also speaks german, that helps me because i‘m from austria and my english is not that good. Really calm teacher, with lots of passion in it. She teaches you everything really good. Passed with the 1st attempt. Thank you!! 🙂

I had an excellent experience with Zeba. We completed 6 hours of refresher lessons together, and she covered everything thoroughly, including crossroads, mini roundabouts, big roundabouts, junctions, and parking. Thanks to her clear guidance and structured approach, I now feel much more comfortable and confident on the road. Zeba is calm, patient, and very friendly, which made each lesson enjoyable and stress-free.
It was truly a pleasure learning with her, and I would highly recommend Zeba to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable driving instructor.

I had 2 driving lessons with Shaz, and unfortunately both were very negative experiences. Throughout all of our interactions, he was very rude and dismissive.
In my first lesson, I told him that I learn better when I understand how things work, for example by following the MSPSL. He told me I should just follow his instructions and didn’t take the time to explain anything. He was very dismissive of my questions and kept telling me to calm down whenever I asked something.
In my second lesson, I was driving confidently but still getting used to things, as I’ve only had a few lessons. He kept raising his voice at me and telling me to calm down every few minutes. Despite multiple attempts to explain that I need a calm environment while I’m driving, it became too much and I had to pull over and ask him to stop shouting, as it was distracting and stressing me out.
He then became very aggressive and said I shouldn’t accuse him of shouting. He told me that he’s the instructor and I’m the student, so I should just do as I’m told and calm down. I explained that this approach doesn’t work for me, and that being told to calm down like that actually makes me more anxious, not less. He then became angry, told me to get out of the car, cancelled the remainder of my lesson, and said I should find another instructor.
This was a very upsetting experience. I believe his behaviour was unprofessional and unnecessarily aggressive. I have had driving lessons in the past and have never been treated this way, especially for simply asking not to be shouted at.

Today, I passed my test at Tolworth on my second attempt with only 2 minors. I can't recommend Zeba enough, she was incredibly supportive. Before her, I had 2 instructors but never felt confident while driving. She helped me build my confidence and taught me how to stay safe on the roads. I used to be scared of roundabouts, but she supported me and helped me make my own decisions and judgments. Highly recommended 🙂

She employs various teaching techniques and consistently seeks the best approach for each individual. Thanks to her guidance, I not only learned how to drive but also became a confident and safe driver. Highly recommended for those who want to enjoy the lessons.

I had such a great experience learning with Arifa. After a negative experience with a previous instructor, I had lost a lot of confidence being behind the wheel. Arifa was incredibly patient, supportive, and really helped rebuild my confidence from the start.
She explains things clearly and made sure I truly understood the rules of the road rather than just memorising them. Her teaching style is calm, encouraging, and very thorough, which made a huge difference in my learning.
Thanks to her guidance and support, I passed my driving test! I’m so grateful for everything she taught me and would highly recommend Arifa to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and encouraging driving instructor.

I recommend Mr. Shah as an effective instructor. He is one of the most experienced tutors in the area, he has lots of helpful tips and he is punctual. His patient and encouraging approach creates a suitable learning environment, and he explains each concept clearly. His instruction and guidance played a key role in helping me pass my test on my second attempt (the first attempt was with a different instructor).

Honestly Shah is the best driving instructor I’ve ever had, calm, patient, punctual allowed me to pass first time with only one minor at Tolworth (less than 10 hours). He didn’t allow me to overpay and take lessons for no reason as soon as I was ready he got me into the test and my results prove that he was right I was ready.
Thank you Shah

I would like to specially thank Zeba who is an incredibly amazing Driving Instructor at Connect who helped my Pass my ADI Part 2 Practical Driving Test. Zeba has an incredibly amazing personality, and is a very hard-working and dedicated individual. Her teaching style and her level of patience is one that I have not seen in a long time across the vast majority of people I have dealt with with my level of experience being a Former Police Officer with the Metropolitan Police in London.
I would highly recommend Zeba to other Pupils who are considering learning to drive for both Standard Driving Test and for those who are considering doing there ADI (Advanced Driving Instructor Part 2 Driving Test). Zeba has an amazing approach to Pupils who may feel unconfident or shy from asking questions or discussing different aspects of the Driving Test or Driving Lessons. Her Energetic personality, creates a great atmosphere that allows anyone to feel comfortable to learn how to drive with her.

She completely changed my mindset and thought process. She is very respectful, professional, kind and very helpful and teaches to a very high standard as mentioned earlier. I really enjoyed taking driving lessons from her, and I feel quite lucky to learn from someone with very high driving standards.
It's very important to have an Instructor who is willing to help you learn, and an instructor that teaches you everything from A to Z.
Overall, amazing person, and I highly recommend her to anyone to take Driving Lessons with for both standard driving tests and for ADI Instructor Part 2 Practical Test. She is very knowledgeable and highly experienced and knows all that you need, to pass the Practical Tests successfully.

I passed my test because of Zeba. She is incredibly kind, patient, and professional. I struggled a lot with independent driving and following road-sign navigation,
it was especially challenging for me. But Zeba’s calm and patient approach, along with her expertise, helped me overcome my fear and gain confidence on the road.
No matter how many questions I asked, Zeba always smiled and answered everything clearly. I truly cannot thank her enough for her support.
Highly recommended!

After having a very bad experience with a driving instructor, I was nervous to start lessons again. However, Shah immediately made me feel calm and taught me everything I needed to know for my test with kindness and patience. I passed first time on my test and would recommend him.

His deep understanding of how the exam works, combined with his focus on improving my driving skills, made all the difference.

Zeba was an amazing instructor. I in fact booked 10 hours with her at the beginning of the year where she got me to where she thought I could pass my test, however when booking my driving test I got a date at the end of the year and so booked in some refreshers closer to my exam.
Zeba taught me the correct and safe way to drive. Was encouraging and corrected my faults in a clear way. I would recommend her to anyone who has never driven a car, doesn’t have a car to practise on and who has had little experiencing driving.
I passed the first time!

From the very first lesson,Shah was professional & patient. He provided clear, calm & concise instructions, and always explained the objectives of the next lesson.
He was always cheery, and easy to talk to, responsive to messages, amenable to schedule changes & willing to repeat manoeuvres until I was truly confident with them. He will let you know when you are ready. Due to the wait for examinations being quite long, it’s best to go in ready so as not to need to wait moths for a re-attempt.
