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.
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.
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.

Alex was so calm and kind and even celebrated little wins whilst driving which in turn boosted my confidence. What an amazing teacher he is. He has been really helpful and I will always recommend.
Oyewole Mayowa
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.
Michael Frost
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.
Gowtham Vinjamuri
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.

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