Fahim Nazir

Black Renault Clio · Manual

Grade A Since December 2016

Fahim has taught learner drivers across Bradford since December 2016 — nearly a decade of test routes, hill starts, and helping nervous learners turn into confident drivers. He holds the DVSA's top Grade A instructor rating, a tier reached by a small fraction of UK ADIs. He teaches in a dual-controlled black Renault Clio, switching between English, Urdu, Punjabi and Mirpuri as the lesson needs — sometimes mid-roundabout, when a learner panics in one language and recovers in another. Patient, methodical, and honest about what each pupil needs to work on, not what they want to hear. Just real route knowledge, the right kind of repetition, and being properly prepared on test day. If you're testing at Heaton, Thornbury or Halifax, Fahim has driven those routes hundreds of times. He'll show you where the observation faults get logged, which hills catch out tired learners, and exactly what the examiner is watching for at every junction. That's the whole point of Onyx.
