Cambridge Drivesity Dara

Dara Erfan

My name is Dara, founder of Cambridge Driversity. Born and raised in Cambridge, I was inspired by my late grandad, who worked as a driving instructor in the city for many years.

His influence inspired me to build a driving school where students always come first. I provide a calm learning environment tailored to each individual, and believe lessons should be fun, memorable, and enjoyable every time.

Cambridge Driversity Alex

Alex Erfan

I love being a driving instructor as each student has a different journey and to be part of helping develop someone’s driving skills is very rewarding especially when the end goal is achieved.

I’m very calm in my approach to teaching, and tailor each lesson to suit each individuals needs. I’m fun friendly and aim to make each lesson enjoyable and productive at the same time.

I couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor

Dara was so incredibly patient when helping me navigate the roads. He celebrated small wins with me which was very rewarding. It was a quick driving journey and I couldn't be more grateful. I wouldn't have passed without him.

Just passed my driving test on the first try!

I was incredibly nervous about getting behind the wheel, but I couldn't have asked for a more patient instructor than Dara. They have a way of making everything feel calm and manageable. If you’re a hit-the-curb kind of learner like I was, Dara is the person to call.

Passed my practical driving test with Cambridge Diversity!

I took manual lessons with Dara, and from the very beginning he was patient, supportive, and helped build my confidence behind the wheel. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone in or around Cambridge. He offers flexible timings and explains road signs and driving rules very clearly.

Lessons were calm and supportive, which really helped build my confidence behind the wheel.

Dara explained things, stay patient, and creates a relaxed atmosphere in the car that makes learning much less stressful. I've improved a lot as a driver and felt properly prepared for the test. Would definitely recommend.

Got Questions?

How much is a driving lesson?
+

Our prices are competitive, starting from £390 for block bookings, with standard rates being £40 for weekday daytime and £42 for evenings and weekends. Please visit our 'Our Lessons' section for full details.

What is the booking process?
+

Start by leaving your details through our enquiry form; we aim to contact you within 48 hours to confirm your details and book your first lesson. Once enrolled, you will gain access to Total Drive, our dedicated online platform, which provides seamless communication and tracking.

When can I start learning to drive?
+

You can start taking lessons once you turn 17 years old and have applied for and received your provisional driving licence from the DVLA.

How many lessons will I need to pass my test?
+

While the average is typically around 20–25 lessons (40–50 hours), this number varies significantly based on individual factors like lesson frequency, whether you drive automatic or manual, and your own learning pace and ability.

Should I learn manual or automatic?
+

There is no right or wrong way to learn; it simply comes down to personal preference. Some drivers prefer the simplicity of automatic, while others favour the versatility and control of manual.

When should I book my theory test?
+

You can book your theory test at any time, but we recommend doing so early in your learning journey. You will need to pass the theory test before you are legally allowed to book and sit your practical driving test.

Will I have the same instructor for every lesson?
+

Yes, you will always be paired with the same instructor. This consistency is valuable as it allows you to build a strong working relationship, provides continuity, and allows your instructor to tailor their approach to your unique needs.

What makes Cambridge Driversity different from other instructors?
+

As a family-run business, we offer a personal touch and deep local knowledge gained from operating in Cambridge for generations. We don't just teach you to drive; we provide supportive, tailored mentorship within the city we know best.
