Why did you want to become an instructor?

“I wanted to become an ADI ever since passing my own driving test at 17 — over 10 years ago! But life and work kept me busy, so I never got around to it until recently.”

What were you doing before training with Aceway?

“I’ve been working in the beauty industry for several years. It’s something I’ve enjoyed, but I was ready for a new challenge and a career that felt more rewarding.”

Why did you choose Aceway Driving School?

“I had previously trained with another instructor but unfortunately didn’t have a good experience. I started researching other trainers and came across Ali Shahraki and Aceway Driving School. His qualifications and experience really stood out — Diamond Examiner, ORDIT Trainer, and so many five-star reviews on Google.

I even spoke to several ADIs around Birmingham, and they all recommended Ali as one of the best trainers to help me pass my Part 3. I contacted him, booked my first lesson, and it was amazing — everything just clicked!”
What did you enjoy most about your training?

“Meeting with my trainer, Ali. He’s so knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. Every session was productive and enjoyable — never dull!”

What was the hardest part?

“All the early paperwork and finding time to fit training around my full-time job and family life. But with Aceway’s flexibility and support, I made it work.”

What advice would you give to someone thinking about becoming an instructor?

“Stick with it! The satisfaction you get from helping others learn to drive and achieve their goals is incredible. It’s honestly one of the most rewarding jobs you can do.”

How has this changed your life?

“I finally have the freedom to leave my previous job and do what I’ve always wanted. Watching nervous learners transform into confident drivers is amazing. I can’t thank Ali and the Aceway team enough for helping me make this dream a reality.”
