About Akmal

I’m a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) with over 10 years of experience helping learners become safe, confident, and capable drivers. For the past eight years, I’ve specialised in intensive driving courses, working with students in Norwich, Bristol, and now Newcastle. Before becoming a driving instructor, I spent 12 years as a professional chef, including time working in a restaurant owned by the legendary Marco Pierre White. My years in the kitchen taught me the importance of discipline, patience, and attention to detail — qualities that now define my approach to driver training. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to pass quickly with an intensive course, my goal is to make learning enjoyable, effective, and tailored to your individual needs. I take pride in creating a calm, supportive environment that helps every student feel comfortable and in control behind the wheel.
