This man can make you drive even if you have not done it before because of how clear he is when it comes to explaining.

If I had a teacher like this, I would have been a pilot by now...
Explanation was superb

[timmusumba]

Brake down and just before the car stops you put the clutch down. Very well explained in a very simple and easy way to understand!

[SufficientUsIsAllah]

I used to press the brake and clutch together and hence end up coasting around corners. I learnt from YouTube that’s wrong. This was a brilliant video for anyone who is confused like I was. May Allah reward all your efforts.

I had been driving an automatic for more than 30 years. Now at age 66 we now have a manual car. My husband is teaching but I needed something else to reinforce and understand. I watched several videos, some gave conflicting information which frustrated me, reducing my confidence.. This brother is a superb teacher. I will stick with this channel on my journey to learn this new skill.

Sir I there aren't enough words to describe how good of a teacher you are

[jacquelinechole]

Am on my day 11 driving a manual car, my instructor isn't clear when it comes to explaining, always shouting but with you am able to understand fully! This was my problem and Monday I will show him how much I have understood you here. Thanks Sir!!

[EmmanuelNetwork-vz]

This person needs a medal when it comes to explaining

[ThaddeusMatonya]

One the best instructors I've ever had calm and elaborative

[juliayang]

This is a great topic. As lots of learner drivers said, they press the brake and clutch together which will give a jerky movement when you stop. I did this many times with my instructor before and he never had corrected me until I complained. Basically he left me to make the same mistakes until I complained. He picked up my faults but not corrected. What's the having a point to have a lesson with a professional instructor? Terrible!! I was so frustrated and upset about his attitude. I should have watched this video earlier.

[richardiwenor]

This man's explanation is very clear. Wow!
The explains the "whys" and the "hows" that could make people not to forget driving instructions.

[iehmskl]

I like his explanations. I m Starting learning driving the manual car but I learn s lot from this man even better than the one teaching me how to drive. This man is a professional.

[Mamaga]

Very educational piece...I normally do clutch before break and the engine goes off anytime I come to a stop and wants to move... in all A big thanks because I followed your tutorials which helped me move my manual car...bless you

[sbyfjxk]

Thank you Sir, My struggle is over, I understand very well...My instructor never taught me the way you do. God will make a way for you... You are a blessing to many of us.

[hilenim]

As someone that’s on my week two struggling to stop gentle I needed this the most…thank you soo much? Thank God bless you🙏🏽🙏🏽

[julietneubert]

My husband was teaching me how to drive a manual car today but I wish I had watched this video before, because you have explained it so well and easily.

It’s going to be a breeze for me the next time. Now I have to subscribe and continue watching your other videos. Thank you for your work. Yours a great teacher.

[hiriikapuire]

Thank you sir for your videos 👊👌✨. I didn't need anyone to sit with me in the car and teach me, I only learnt it from those videos. Now I can drive as I'm still in the process of learning it. 🙌

[redskitter]

This teacher will surely learn his students because of the clear instructions. Thanks for this important lecture for learners.
