About Ismail
Hi, I'm Ismail. I teach driving lessons around Lancashire, and I've helped over 10,000 learners pass their test with Street Smart Driving School. I'm a DVSA-approved instructor, and I focus on making lessons stress-free and enjoyable, whether you're a complete beginner, a nervous driver, or just need a refresher.
I offer both manual and automatic lessons, so you can choose what suits you best. My students often say I'm calm and patient, which helps build confidence behind the wheel. I tailor each lesson to your pace and goals, and I'm known for being thorough, covering everything from clutch control to road safety. I also provide extra support like helpful videos and progress updates to keep you on track.
If you're looking to pass your test quickly, I offer intensive courses too. I'm flexible with scheduling, including evenings and weekends, and I use modern dual-controlled cars for a safe learning experience. Let's get you driving confidently.

Make me confident Ismail, the driving instructor, was most helpful in getting my confidence back after having lost it after not having driven for some time. He took his time and showed me how to drive on uphill, brake control and safety precautions.
100% recomended, I found driving such a struggle when I first started out, Ismail stripped everything down and covered absolutely EVERYTHING, I went from a worrying panicked driver to a smooth confident one, never have I met anyone so passionate about his role and his pupils, so passionate he turns up early out of his own time, keeps you updated on your progress, shares alot of helpful videos to your inbox and doesn't rush you on your way though you could be miles away from home and your lessons about to end.. my test is one month away and I have no doubt what so ever I won't pass!
Very Professional Ismail was a great instructor. I took the test to upgrade from automatic to manual, so I already knew how to drive (at least that's what I thought). Ismail taught me how to drive manual, and made me a better driver. Also I got rid of some bad habits I developed over the years. Great experience. Very professional.
Happy Experience I highly recommend Street Smart Driving School, especially instructor Ismail he's very calm, so on my lesson I was always very relaxed and stress free but he's also very strict,he see every small mistake u make and explain how u should done it and that helps alot. I passed my exam after only 8 hours so I'm very happy that I choose him. I saved my hard earned money and I passed my exam in no time. So I highly recommend Ismail to everyone and I promise you, you'll not regret.
Feel Relaxed I Passed my driving test first time with Ismail after having around 30 hours! I literally had no clue about cars, let alone being able to drive one. My instructor made me feel really relaxed all the time and talked me through any stressful situations that came up. We spent lots of time going over test routes which made me feel confident on the day of my exam.I cant say enough thanks to Ismail to help me become better driver.I highly recommend him to anyone.
