Akmal Naim (Aki)
Co-founder of Momentum Driving Academy and a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) with over 10 years of experience helping people gain their freedom and confidence on the road.
For the past eight years, I’ve specialised in intensive driving courses, working with learners in Norwich, Bristol, and now Newcastle. My aim is to make every lesson relaxed, enjoyable, and focused on helping you reach your goal of passing safely and confidently.
Before I became a driving instructor, I worked as a professional chef for 12 years, including an amazing period in a restaurant owned by Marco Pierre White. Those years in the kitchen taught me the importance of patience, precision, and focus — all skills that I now bring into every driving lesson.
At Momentum Driving Academy, I believe in teaching at your pace, with encouragement and clear guidance at every step. Whether you’re a complete beginner or want to pass quickly with one of our intensive driving courses in Newcastle, you’ll always get calm, supportive, and effective tuition.
