Our Driving Instructors

Hi, I’m Zamila. I absolutely love my job from meeting my pupil for the first time to taking them on their journey to passing their driving test, that feeling is amazing! You can’t beat that look on their faces.
I firmly believe in ‘safe driving for life’, all my pupils learn the necessary skills required to make them confident & safe drivers. I make sure all my lessons are fun and enjoyable, adapting my teaching methods to suit the individual needs of each pupil.
I have an excellent 1st time pass rate. I am also bilingual and I can teach lessons in English or Gujerati.
I am professional, friendly, understanding and honest, I have a great sense of humour so there’s always lots of laughs along the way, and patience is my middle name.
Zamila Chabdu Driving Instructor

I have been an instructor with Go-Atlas school of motoring for just under six months now. The aspects of the job I enjoy are that everyday is different and a new challenge.
I am able to share my knowledge with pupils and improve their ability as drivers. It gives me great satisfaction to teach my pupils a valuable skill they will have for life.
