Biography

From a very young age I was always curious about cars and, and couldn’t wait to be able to one day drive one myself. After getting my driving licence in 2008 I started driving for a part time job while attending college, and I have had several full time driving rolls over the years. I also have experience of riding motorbikes, and I have my Heavy Goods Vehicle Class 1 driving licence. So I’m proud to say that have extensive experience from different aspects when it comes to being out on the road, and I utilise that experince in my teaching. Apart from enjoying driving I also have a passion for vehicle mechanics. Although I never became a professional mechanic, I am a keen self-taugth home mechanic, and I’ve and learned a lot about how cars work and how ot maintain them over the years.

Safe driving is very important for me so I will do my best for my pupils to become safe, confident and knowledgeable drivers in relax and friendly atmosphere.

Trang Vu, Redhill, Automatic driving lessons

“I had a great experience learning with Abdul Tawab. I only had less than 10 weeks until my exam when I started lessons with Abdul and passed the first time all thanks to him. Abdul Tawab was such a great instructor, he was patience and very passionate about making sure you have all the knowledge required to be a safe driver (and pass the test). He worked extremely hard to accommodate my busy schedule (early morning & evening lessons) and make sure I have all the practice I need prior to my exam. The most important thing is that he cares about his job and really wants to help his pupils. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants to learn to be a safe driver!”

“I just passed my driving test with Abdul, after previously failing two tests with a previous instructor. Abdul was a fantastic instructor, he was always very patient with me and made me feel at ease when driving after previous test anxiety. His way of teaching is very informative and easy to follow, allowing me to feel confident when driving and going on to pass with only one minor. Thank you so much Abdul!”

“It was hard for me to learn driving quickly but he was extremely patient with me. He explained everything in different ways so I can fully understand. Before him I had 10 lessons with another instructor and it was just waste of money.
Thank you Abdul Tawab!”

Craig, Automatic, Tolworth

Well done Craig, a great first time pass at Tolworth today after taking driving lessons with Abdul!

“I can not thank Abdul from Elite Driving School enough! His driving lessons were top class. I enjoyed every second. He made the learning to drive process enjoyable, simple, yet gave me all the important details. He always emphasised that all I needed to do was to be safe, and he was absolutely right as I passed my test at Tolworth test centre today with just 2 minor faults. Most importantly I now feel confident in driving, and cant wait to go car shopping this weekend. Thank again Abdul and ELITE Driving School”
