Thanks Yaffa! I had been learning with a different teacher for a while, but wasn’t progressing. I switched to Yaffa and passed my driving test six months later! He’s a kind and empathetic teacher and I really enjoyed learning with him. Thanks for all the help!

I would really appreciate Yaffa because without his patience i wouldn’t have passed my driving test. He’s s really helpful and encouraged me to pass my test with his patience even though i was struggling at Cambridge roundabout, he used to tell me anything is possible so after his support and motivation I passed. I would highly recommend you to learn with him.

Thank you to Yaffa! I passed my driving test with only 2 minors. My nerves got the better of me 30 minutes before the test but Yaffa helped calm me down and got my mind ready for the test. I highly recommend him as an instructor.

Finally passed on the 11/02/24 with Mr Yaffa Makan. Every lesson we had was progressive and planned to my perfection so I felt comfortable enough to practice what I was not good at. We went through many possible test routes and the major manoeuvres. The lessons were beneficial and worked out in my favour as I finally passed my practical test. I would highly recommend Mr Yaffa as a driving instructor as I have only had 10 hours of lessons and I finally passed!!!

Thanks to Yaffa I passed on my first time. He is very talented and patient with his pupils. I’m very grateful to have as a teacher and i highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Yaffa, and I can confidently say that he is an outstanding driving instructor. From the very first lesson, Yaffa was patient, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to understand my strengths and areas that needed improvement, tailoring each lesson to ensure I gained the skills and confidence required to become a safe and competent driver.

What I appreciated most was Yaffa’s calm and encouraging demeanor. No matter how nervous or uncertain I felt, he always provided clear instructions and constructive feedback, which made the learning process much more manageable and enjoyable. His ability to simplify complex maneuvers and explain them in a way that was easy to grasp made a significant difference in my progress.

I highly recommend Yaffa to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive driving instructor. You won’t find a better instructor out there!

Yaffa has been a knowledgeable and patient instructor. He was able to help me master the fear of entering spiral roundabouts and perfecting parallel parking. I will greatly recommend everyone who learns to drive to get Yaffa to be your instructor.

If you want to have peace of mind that you are booking with a high quality driving instructor who delivers lessons to a highly professional standard, then Makan at drivewithyaffa is the place to go.

Makan explains everything with very clear and precise instructions and he even provides visual aids to assist learning. He is very patient and takes his time to make sure you understand everything fully. All of my lessons started exactly at the time agreed on and Makan would even send me confirmation texts 24hrs before. Safe to say that Makan takes his job seriously and runs a professional practice.

Having tried many different instructors around London, I know what its like to have a bad instructor. Having a professionally run practice from Makan is a relieving breath of fresh air.

Having Mr Yaffa as a driving instructor has been a privilege. An instructor who has great passion for his job, professionalism and discipline. Each lesson he provided me with areas for improvement and meticulous planning to best prepare me for the exam. He has never failed to reassure me and provided ongoing support throughout . His teaching techniques were remarkable; visual, written and practical. I passed 1st time with 3 minors and will forever be grateful to Mr Yaffa and highly recommend.

“Yaffa is a patient and experienced instructor. Our lessons were always well structured and effective. After failing my first test with another instructor, Yaffa helped me brush up my techniques and 10 hours later I passed. I would highly recommend learning with him.”

I can proudly say that I’ve passed first time learning with Yaffa! When I’ve changed my instructor I was not confident on the road and I was unsure if I’m going to pass my driving test. However, 10h block with Yaffa was surely enough to fill the gaps that I had after my previous instructor as well as effectively working on my mistakes. Yaffa is putting 100% of effort into the lesson by using not only DVSA books but also mini writing board and toy cars which make lesson interesting and interacting. Every lesson helped me not only to pass my driving test first time but also prepared me for every day driving on the busy roads in London!

Yaffa was a great instructor and helped me become a better driver! He developed my skills, was patient and could always identify what I needed to improve on.

Yaffa was amazing instructor, very patient and attentive. He is a great teacher and it’s been a pleasure to learn with him. I passed my test on first try with only two faults. I was always looking forward to our lessons and enjoyed his company as well! Nikita

Thank you for being patient with me and helping me pass my driving test first time. I began as a complete beginner and within less than 40 hours I was able to pass with 3 minors. I enjoyed our lessons and found that the Ford Fiesta was the perfect car to do my lessons and my practice test on. I highly recommend Yaffa if you want good knowledge and confidence in your driving.

I could not recommend Yaffa more!

Pre-pandemic I had a total of 16hrs in lessons with an instructor in South London. I was quite an anxious driver and felt hopeless with my slow progress. In 2021 I moved to North London and decided to resume lessons with a new instructor.

From my very first lesson Yaffa’s warm and encouraging demeanor put me at ease. His patience and clear, consise explanations left me feeling increasingly confident and competent after each lesson. Yaffa’s effective teaching and persistent encouragement saw me progress in my driving at a speed I never thought possible!

After only 4 months of lessons Driving with Yaffa I passed my Driving test; FIRST TIME!!!

I can’t thank him enough! Not only did he teach me how to pass my exam with confidence, he also prepared me to be a confident driver after passing.

Choosing the right instructor can make all the difference on the journey towards getting your license. I’m so glad I chose to drive with Yaffa as it has truly paid off. I highly recommend him as a tutor!  In fact, my boyfriend will be starting lessons with Yaffa in the coming months. 🙂

Learning to drive with Yaffa was really a great experience. I was nervous to start with but he made me feel calm and supported at all times. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the rules and regulations and made me feel 100% prepared for the exam. I’m happy to say he helped me passed my test and become a confident driver. So if you’re looking for a patient and supportive instructor, Yaffa is your guy!

Thank you so much for your help and endless support in getting my license. With your guidance and patience you taught me the skills to become a safe driver. Thank you for giving me the confidence to drive and for helping me to overcome my nervousness.

Yaffa helped me to iron out all my minor problems driving, after practicing with my dad weekly for the last 5 months.
He recognised I hadn’t far to go until passing and was able to help me pass 1st time with about 4 hours worth of lessons.

I particularly like Makan’s car, a Ford fiesta, as it is a great car to learn and drive in. I also liked how understanding he was, allowing me to correct my mistakes rather than just telling me what to do.

Overall, I strongly recommend Makan as a tutor as his teaching style and car allowed me to pass almost with ease.

I first started learning to drive in 2012, because I had a terrible imstructor I stopped taking lessons and didn’t restart them until november 2019 with yaffa, due to the lockdown i had to stop taking lessons for a few months. Yaffa has great knowledge and methods and cleary explains the basics and concepts of safe driving, he is patient and a great instructor, i passed my test 1st time with 3 minors and the credit goes 100% to Yaffa, i would highly recommend him.

I’ve been driving with Yaffa for quite a while but he taught all I need to know and has helped me to improve on all my driving. This has benefited me majorly as I have now got my licence.

Thank you sir

I struggled finding an instructor that suited me but then along came Yaffa! He was patient, understanding and flexible around my work. During my lessons i felt safe enough to trust his judgement. When explaining procedures he not only tells you but shows you. That way you can visualise it before actioning the move. His honesty helped with my confidence. I would recommend Makan Yaffa a thousand times and more. Thank you so so much 😀

I’ve been learning to drive with Yaffa in total for the last 4 months now. Doing on average 2 hours per week due to work commitments and spending time with my kids. This worked for me a lot but you can choose your own time frame that suits you aswell. Every lesson has been a pleasure to say the least. I have learnt something new each time which will stay with me for a life time. Yaffa teaches in such detail with experience you will never forget on the roads while driving. I would highly recommend taking driving lessons with Yaffa as from my experience, I would say he’s one of the best out there today.

You have to work hard and dedicate yourself to pass if you really want that license and if you do Yaffa will help you every step of the way. Yaffa is patient, very friendly, calm and every lesson I have felt comfortable and relaxed in the car with him at all times.

Having failed my test twice before I moved abroad for 18 months, I came back to the UK and wanted to pass my test. After just a couple of lessons with Yaffa, I realized his teaching was so much better than my first instructor, and I wish I’d had him the first time around. Our lessons gave me the confidence to really feel like I was a safe driver and pass my test on my third attempt.

Yaffa is one of the best instructors I’ve ever had, I only had 5 hours with him and during those 5 hours I had learned and been taught so much. I’ve had previous instructors who were very nonchalant and didn’t really have the correct information on what to do and what not to do on your test. Yaffa knows everything about driving techniques and especially the driving test. He was always very professional and kind. He helped me get rid of my bad habits in such a short amount of time. With his great teaching I managed to pass first time. I would definitely recommend yaffa to anyone who’s learning to drive.

Yaffa is a great instructor, he is very professional and has a great approach to teaching. He was very supportive and helped me to feel more confident with my driving. After doing 8 hours with him and practicing at home I passed first time.

Yaffa is a great instructor. he is calm and informative, and gives great instructions and guiding you through the small steps. He improved my confidence on the road and corrected me when i made mistakes.

He also explained things in a clear manner and concentrated on road safety and awareness, especially on the busy streets of London, where anything can happen at any time !

I would highly recommend him to learners of any level, and with his attention to detail he will no doubt guide you through to a pass. Thanks again yaffa !

Yaffa’s very professional and competent. The classes were great. Highly recommended

Yaffa is a knowledgeable and thorough instructor with a clarity of expression that lends itself to reassurance and good learning. Outside of lessons, Makan was always quick to respond to queries which is further testimony to his reliable character. Highly recommended!!

Hello my name is Kristian Manuel Guillen. Mr Yaffa was a huge help in me passing my practical test and hands down the best instructor I’ve had. I managed to pass after only doing 18hrs of lessons. I took a long break from my lessons and I got in contact with Mr Yaffa a few days before my exam to book in 2 hours of lessons.
