Mohammad Habib
⭐ DVSA Green Badge ADI
🇬🇧 English🇧🇩 Bengali🇮🇳 Hindi🇵🇰 Urdu
Mohammad Habib is a DVSA Green Badge Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) based in Nottingham, with extensive experience delivering structured automatic driving lessons across NG1–NG16 and DE7. He holds full ADI qualification and provides 2-hour lessons aligned to the current DVSA syllabus, helping learners build the skills and confidence needed to pass their practical driving test.
Having worked with a diverse range of learners — from university students at UoN and NTU to mature learners and those returning after years away from driving — Mohammad adapts every lesson to the individual. He offers multilingual driving instruction in English, Bengali, Hindi, and Urdu, making him one of very few driving instructors in Nottingham able to teach in four languages.
Mohammad trains learners on the actual Nottingham driving test routes — including Chilwell and Colwick — from an early stage in the course. He stays current with DVSA curriculum updates and examiner standards, ensuring every learner is genuinely test-ready before their practical test is booked.
Lessons progress at your pace. You move to the next skill only when you feel genuinely ready — every session is structured around where you are, not where a schedule says you should be.
Automatic Transmission Only
All lessons use a fully automatic car — no clutch, no gear changes. This means your full concentration goes to road awareness, positioning, mirrors, and hazard perception from day one. An automatic-only licence is a full UK driving licence.
Dual-Control Safety
Habib can intervene at any moment. Knowing this removes the “what if” anxiety and allows full focus on learning.
Local Test Route Knowledge
Training on Chilwell (Beeston) and Colwick examination routes from early in the course. By test day, you will have driven every section of the route multiple times under real conditions.
Overcoming Past Experiences
Whether you have had lessons elsewhere, failed a test, or are returning to driving after a break — Mohammad's structured, consistent approach helps you rebuild skills and reach test-ready standard.
Pricing
Transparent Pricing. No Hidden Costs.

What Our Students Say
Real feedback from learners who have trained with Mohammad. More reviews available on Google.
“I couldn’t have passed without Muhammed Habib, especially considering the difficult circumstances of retaking my test for the third time. He was always on time, respectful, and incredibly patient, which made a huge difference in my confidence. What sets Muhammed apart is his high-tech approach to driving instruction. He uses an iPad to pull up specific road situations and layouts, allowing you to internalise exactly what’s happening and understand what the examiner is looking for. We practised extensively on the actual test routes, so by the time my test day arrived, there were no surprises. He doesn’t just teach you how to move a car; he teaches you the essential tips to be a safe, observant driver.”

Automatic Driving Lessons Across Every Nottingham Postcode
From NG1 to NG16 — door-to-door collection, real test routes, DVSA-approved tuition.
Driving Lessons Nottingham City Centre & South
Covering NG1 (City Centre), NG2 (West Bridgford, Meadows), NG3 (Mapperley, Sneinton), NG7 (Lenton, Radford) and NG11 (Clifton). The Chilwell driving test centre, located in Beeston (NG9), is one of the two main test routes we train on — giving learners in south Nottingham a significant advantage on test day.
Covering NG5 (Arnold, Sherwood, Daybrook), NG6 (Bulwell, Basford, Bestwood), NG8 (Wollaton, Bilborough, Aspley) and NG16 (Eastwood, Kimberley). If you are searching for a driving instructor in Arnold, Bulwell, or Wollaton, Mohammad Habib provides door-to-door collection directly to your address.
Covering NG9 (Beeston, Stapleford, Chilwell), NG10 (Long Eaton, Sandiacre) and DE7 (Ilkeston). Beeston is home to the Chilwell driving test centre — learners in these postcodes train on the actual test routes from early in their course. Automatic driving lessons in Beeston from £76.
H&E is one of the few DVSA-approved automatic driving schools in Nottingham offering lessons in Bengali, Hindi, and Urdu as well as English. If you are looking for a Bengali-speaking driving instructor in Nottingham, or need lessons in Hindi or Urdu, Mohammad Habib teaches in all four languages — switching mid-lesson when helpful.
Why Choose Automatic Driving Lessons Over Manual in Nottingham?
Automatic driving lessons in Nottingham are increasingly popular because they remove the most technically demanding part of driving — gear changes and clutch control — allowing you to focus entirely on road positioning, observation, and hazard awareness. This often means learners reach test-ready standard faster. An automatic-only driving licence is a full UK driving licence valid for cars and most light vehicles. At H&E, all lessons use a dual-controlled Ford Focus automatic — one of the most common cars used in UK driving tests.
How Many Driving Lessons Do I Need to Pass in Nottingham?
The DVSA recommends an average of 45 hours of professional instruction before taking a practical driving test, plus 22 hours of private practice. However, this varies significantly by individual. At H&E, learners who book the 10-hour block package (five 2-hour sessions) typically use it as a structured foundation — moving to test booking only when Mohammad confirms they are consistently performing to examiner standard on the actual Nottingham test routes.

H&E Lessons in Action
A real lesson session with Mohammad Habib, showcasing the calm, structured teaching approach and dual-control setup. See exactly what a lesson with H&E feels like from start to finish.
A detailed walkthrough of the Bramcote and Chilwell examination routes, highlighting key junctions, hazard zones, and the decisions examiners observe most closely. Essential preparation for test day.
Identify your lane from road markings 50 m before the junction — not as you arrive.
Mirror and signal before reducing speed, giving following traffic adequate warning.
Give way to the right; maintain steady movement where it is safe to do so.
Cancel your signal promptly on exit to avoid misleading other road users.
Parallel Parking Reference Points
Position parallel to the target vehicle; align rear wheels with their rear bumper before reversing.
Apply steering input decisively while reversing slowly — speed is your greatest obstacle.
At approximately 45° to the kerb, straighten and continue reversing back.
Apply full opposite lock once the front of your car clears the target vehicle’s bumper.
Approaching the Practical Test
Approach the test as a demonstration of already-practised skills, not a new challenge.
Examiner silence is standard; it does not indicate how you are performing.
Minor faults are permitted. Continue to your trained standard after any small error.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we receive most often.
A single 2-hour automatic driving lesson at H&E costs £76 (£38/hr). A 10-hour block package is £360 — saving £20 and working out at £36/hr. Pass Plus and advanced driving lessons are quoted on request. All prices include door-to-door collection across NG1–NG16 and DE7.
The DVSA average is 45 hours of professional lessons before taking a practical test. With H&E's 2-hour structured sessions, most learners see consistent progress within 5–8 sessions. Your test is booked only when Mohammad confirms you are performing to examiner standard on the actual Nottingham test routes — not on a fixed schedule.
There are two main DVSA practical driving test centres serving Nottingham: Chilwell (Beeston, NG9) and Colwick (NG4). H&E trains all learners on both test routes from early in the course. Mohammad will advise which centre is most suitable based on your postcode and availability.
H&E covers all major Nottingham postcodes: NG1–NG12, NG16, and DE7. This includes Beeston, Arnold, Bulwell, Hyson Green, West Bridgford, Clifton, Wollaton, Carlton, Mapperley, Sherwood, Hucknall, Long Eaton, Ilkeston, Stapleford, and Eastwood. Door-to-door collection is included in all lesson prices.
Yes. You can take your UK practical driving test in an automatic car at both Chilwell and Colwick test centres. Passing in an automatic gives you a full UK driving licence restricted to automatic vehicles. Many learners find they reach test-ready standard faster in an automatic because they can focus entirely on observation, road position, and hazard perception.
Two-hour sessions allow more time to practise a skill, receive feedback, and apply that feedback within the same lesson. Many learners make more consistent progress through longer, less frequent sessions than short, frequent ones. The hourly rate is also lower on both the single session and the block package with 2-hour lessons.
Driving lessons are available in English, Bengali, Hindi, and Urdu. Mohammad can switch languages mid-lesson when a concept is clearer in another language. This makes H&E one of the few DVSA-approved automatic driving schools in Nottingham offering multilingual tuition. A separate mobile application currently in development also supports traditional Chinese and Arabic for theory test preparation.
Choosing the 10-hour block is a commitment to a systematic and personalised learning journey. This package is designed to track your progress effectively, featuring structured lesson planning, progress monitoring, local route familiarisation, and exam support tailored to your readiness. The saving compared to individual bookings is £20.
Yes. Many H&E learners have had lessons with other instructors or have failed their practical test one or more times. Mohammad's approach starts with understanding what happened previously, identifying the specific areas to work on, and building a structured plan. The first session is focused on getting a clear picture of your current level before anything else.
The easiest way is to message Mohammad directly on WhatsApp at 07505 932953, or email contact@hedrivingschool.co.uk. Mohammad replies personally — no automated systems or call centres. He will confirm your postcode, discuss your experience level and goals, and arrange your first lesson at a time that suits you.
Automatic driving lessons remove the need to manage the clutch and gear changes, which many learners find the most technically difficult aspect of driving. This lets you focus fully on road awareness, positioning, mirrors, and signalling from your very first lesson. A manual licence covers both manual and automatic cars; an automatic-only licence covers automatic cars. Both are full UK driving licences.
All H&E lessons use a Ford Focus ST-Line automatic, fitted with full dual controls. Mohammad can apply the brakes or steering at any moment if needed. The car is fully insured for learner drivers and maintained to a high standard. A Škoda electric vehicle is expected to join the fleet shortly.
Pass Plus is an official DVSA scheme for newly qualified drivers. It covers six modules: town driving, all-weather driving, rural roads, dual carriageways, night driving, and motorways. Completing Pass Plus in Nottingham may qualify you for insurance discounts with some providers. Contact H&E for availability and pricing.
Yes. H&E regularly teaches mature learners who are coming to driving for the first time later in life, or returning after a long break. Automatic transmission is particularly popular with mature learners as it removes the most physically demanding element of driving. There is no upper age limit for learning to drive in the UK provided you hold a valid provisional licence and meet the medical requirements.
