Thank you very much JIWAN, great instructor who gave me Hope and Courage. Despite previous failed attempts you gave me strength to continue.+1Posted on GoogleJanine Buckley26 days agoI cannot recommend Jiwan highly enough! From my very first lesson, he was incredibly calm and patient, which made a massive difference in building my confidence on the road. He has an absolute mastery of the rules of the road and explains things in a way that just clicks. On top of being a fantastic teacher, he is a genuinely funny guy—his great sense of humour completely took the edge off my nerves right before my driving test. He made sure I was feeling 100% confident before I went in and gave me a massive well-wish before the examiner stepped in. If you want an instructor who makes you feel safe, prepared, and relaxed, he is the absolute best!+0Posted on GoogleHinal Patel33 days agoI had a really great experience with my instructor, Sumit. He was very thorough with my preparation and made sure I understood everything properly. I followed his advice throughout my lessons, and I’m happy to say I passed my test on my first attempt! What I really appreciated about Sumit is that he doesn’t just teach you how to pass the test. He genuinely focuses on making you a safe and confident driver. His years of experience in coaching really showed in the way he taught and guided me. I’m really thankful to Sumit for his time, patience and all the valuable lessons he taught me. It was definitely worth every lesson, and I would highly recommend SDA to anyone preparing for their driving test!+0Posted on GoogleHuever Uy48 days agoThey are the best. I can guarantee you. I've failed my driving test 5 times from kelmscot and 3 Times in Midland DOT. Then it all changed when I met Sumit (driving instructor) from Butler. It's totally worth it. I've driven almost hours just to get to Butler DOT and met Sumit and have his mentorship and training. It's all worth it. He is so patience, understanding, friendly and professional, I can vouch for him if you failed your driving test, go with him. You may not believe in miracle but this guy will change your driving habit.+1Posted on GoogleHuever Uy48 days agoOne of the best in Western Australia. Highly recommended, book 2 hours before the exam, no phone, relax and digest what Sumit (Driving instructor) has to say. Always presence of mind. They are friendly, down to earth people, very professional. I've tried 3 different driving instructor from somewhere in WA. No one is better than Sumit. He is very patience and understanding. I've driven manual car (C open licence) I've failed 1 time in Kelmscot, 3 failed driving test in Midland DOT. It all went clear and I've made it after I met SDA and mentored by Sumit..+0Posted on GoogleSubha Lakshmi52 days agoPassed the PDA with the guidance from Sumit throughout the process.

Highly recommend Jenna and Sumit Driving Academy!Posted on GoogleArun Raj19 days agoGoodPosted on Googlemamta kc23 days agoI cannot recommend Sumit Driving Academy and especially Mr.Amin enough — he is hands down the best driving instructor I’ve ever had, and the reason I passed my test so efficiently at Butler. How Amin taught me is exactly what made him amazing: Calm, patient & never intimidating — even when I made mistakes, he never rushed me, never raised his voice, and always stayed calm. He made me feel safe and confident from lesson 1. Clear, simple explanations — he broke every maneuver down step-by-step ( 3-point turns, roundabouts) in ways that actually made sense. No confusing jargon, just easy-to-follow instructions. Structured, progressive lessons — he built my skills gradually, starting with basics before moving to harder roads, busy intersections, and highway driving. Great at correcting gently — when I messed up, he’d point it out after it was safe, explain exactly why it happened, and show me how to fix it next time. Focused on safe, defensive driving — not just “how to pass the test,” but how to drive well for life. He taught me to anticipate hazards, check mirrors constantly, and stay aware of everything around me. Punctual, reliable & friendly — always on time, friendly, and made every lesson something I actually looked forward to. Never awkward, always professional but warm.He goes beyound so we can learn properly. If you’re nervous, a total beginner, or just want to become a safe, confident driver — Amin is the instructor you need. He doesn’t just teach you to drive — he teaches you to drive well. 10/10 — worth every single dollar. Thank you, Mr.Amin! 🙏🚦Posted on GoogleTran Phuong24 days agoI highly recommend Amin - Sumit as a driving instructor. He is kind, patient, and supportive, always giving positive encouragement that helped me build my confidence. Thanks to his guidance and dedication, I passed my driving test yesterday, 24 September, in Butler! I’m truly grateful for all his support and encouragement throughout my lessons.Posted on Googledeeksha vijan32 days ago⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A huge thank you to the entire SDA team for being so supportive and professional throughout my driving journey.
