Meet Your Instructor
Naz
Hi, I’m Naz — the founder and driving instructor behind Sensei Driving School.
I’m a fully qualified DVSA-approved driving instructor based in Southampton, specialising in manual driving lessons. My approach to teaching is relaxed, patient and tailored to each individual learner. I understand that everyone learns differently, so I focus on building confidence at the right pace, without unnecessary pressure.
For me, learning to drive isn’t just about passing your test. It’s about developing the skills, awareness and confidence to become a safe and independent driver for life.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll usually find me out riding my Kawasaki ZX-10R Ninja, enjoying the open road, or exploring new places and trying out different food spots.
I genuinely enjoy meeting new people and helping learners reach their goals, and I aim to make every lesson a positive and enjoyable experience.
