I cannot recommend Satish highly enough.
I recently passed my Restricted License test with no critical errors, and honestly, I still can’t quite believe it. I genuinely don’t think I would have gotten there without his guidance, patience, and belief in me.
I was an incredibly nervous, anxious, and doubtful learner. In fact, Satish was telling me I was ready for my test long before I believed it myself. He took the time to answer every question I threw at him (and trust me, there were a lot), always thoughtfully and without ever making me feel silly for asking.
One of my favorite memories is from my very first lesson. Satish taught me mirror checks and blind spots and then 10 mins later told me to do a three-point turn. I remember thinking, “YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT??” I was trying to remember mirrors, blind spots, indicators, steering, where the car was going, where I was going… my brain was basically buffering. There was just so much going on at once.
Fast forward to one of our last practice tests and the three-point turn felt like one of the easiest things in the world. Looking back, it’s actually pretty funny.
I think that story sums up Satish perfectly. He has a way of taking things that feel overwhelming and impossible and breaking them down until one day you realise you’re doing them without even thinking. His calm, patient, and reassuring presence helped me go from an anxious, doubtful learner to a safe and confident driver.
Learning to drive was a huge milestone for me. I’m 26, my parents don’t drive, and my sister was the first person in my family to get her licence. I’ve been trying, wishing, and talking about getting my licence for years. Passing wasn’t just about passing a test, it was something that meant a lot to me personally.
Satish wasn’t just an instructor, he was a teacher throughout the whole journey. He’s knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, genuinely funny and has a real talent for knowing what a student needs in the moment.
