Reviews of Driving School Instructor - Tariq (Driving School)

Abhi Malik

Thankyou so much Tariq for your help and support in getting my licence. Thank you for giving me the confidence to drive and for helping me to overcome my nervousness. Your lessons were very informative, well-structured and I really appreciate your encouragement. I will recommend you to anyone who is interested in learning to drive.

Gaurav Kumar

Tariq is an amazing instructor with extensive driving knowledge. He is very patient with the students and also a very keen observer. He always gives his honest feed back and will work with you until you become an ace driver. I have driven before but still I used to struggle with parallel parking. But after getting lessons from him I can say I am more confident and skilled driver. He will tell you exactly how many lessons you will be needing and won't rip off your money.

Akhil Sharma

I highly recommend to everyone, if you want a professional behaviour, want to clear the test in first attempt , want to give less money and take more of the training. You should reach out Tariq bhai. He is just perfect in his work and, also give you a proper time and value of money. However, one can get all the confidence he or she needs in driving while learning from Tariq bhai.

I am honestly grateful to have known Tariq Latif Ji, we had been in touch the entire pandemic just to be able to get a few driving lessons and book my road test. He is a saviour and helped me book the road test when the drive test centres opened up. Tariq is extremely professional and goes an extra mile always to have his client succeed. I do have the license now but I am happy to have made great friends with Tariq Latif. Look no further if you’re ever looking for a driving instructor/friend.

Trust him and give test.. best trainer.

aswin anil

Tariq is a very professional instructor and moreover a good human who is patient and supportive to even people who are driving first time here. He gives instructions for parallel parking, 3 point turn, uphill downhill park, line changes etc exceptionally well and we can drive with him without any tension. He shares all basic things to keep in our mind and I passed my G2 test in first attempt itself. I wanted someone who is sincere with the classes, so I chose him after reading the reviews. And I am 100% satisfied and I would highly recommend him for everyone who wishes to clear G2 and G tests.

Gaurav Malhotra

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Value, calm, detailed orientation, well educated, soft spoken, disciplined and many more qualities. Great experience, I've been a long time driver in India and wanted to appear 2nd time for G2. I had a very bad experience with my first instructor; will not name him. Couldn't be more pleased with Tariq's training, I had so many doubts and nervousness, my moral was just zero at the beginning. My road driving instructor, Tariq was very professional and caring, telling you the main points and reviewing multiple times your approach to specific tasks so you can excel. I recommend him 100%

Josh1

I’ve never wrote a review on anything in my life until now! they say word of mouth is the best advertisement you can get, but let me tell you something...Tariq Latif is a master driving instructor! I could hardly drive b4 meeting this guy, the first driving lesson I received with him, and he outlined what I was doing wrong and what I should do, and I started doing what he told me...I started to feel very optimistic about what my G2 exam outcome would be ????. Today was my exam and he told me what to do and I executed his guidelines and funny thing about it is that when I was in the car with examiner everything Tariq said they would do he did. I was just laughing inside myself saying “this guy is like guru” thanks a million Tariq I’m officially a G2 driver see you again next year for the G ????????????????Bless up you self

OSRS Bagged Milk

Prabhjot Singh Padam

Being a novice driver I wasn't sure if I would clear the test in first attempt. I was very careful in choosing the driving school. After going through a lot of Google reviews for several schools, zeroed-down on Success Driving school. The trainer Tariq Latif's teaching techniques are really good and carefully thought out. He first assess your driving and then trains you on the aspects that require improvement. And voila! I was able to clear the test in first attempt.
