Satish was a fantastic driving instructor. He’s a calm and super patient with me from day 1. I had zero driving skills/knowledge, but he has helped me develop my skill and confidence in driving with his constructive feedback. I highly recommend him to those who are looking for driving instructors especially the beginners. Thank you again for helping me pass my restricted exam.

Lakiesha

Satish has been a firm yet patient driving instructor, and I’ve really appreciated the supportive and encouraging way he teaches. He always takes the time to explain each skill clearly and makes sure I fully understand before moving on. He sets high standards and motivates me to keep improving, making sure I truly understand each skill through consistent practice. I’ve learned so much from him and feel much more confident behind the wheel. I feel very well-prepared for my driving test and have gained the skills to drive safely afterward. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great driving instructor.

Thanks to Satish I got my restricted. Calm, helpful and informative all the way through. 10/10 would learn to drive from him again.

I had a great lesson today working on roundabouts, lane changes, and U-turns. Satish was really calm and supportive, which helped me build a lot more confidence on the road. I finally started to understand gap selection properly and felt way less nervous approaching roundabouts. The explanations were clear and easy to follow, and I could feel real improvement by the end of the lesson. I’m definitely feeling more prepared for my restricted test now. Highly recommend!

Satish is the absolute definition of practitioner.

I would 100% recommend him as a teacher for any of my friends and family who are also wanting to improve on their driving. Another thing I liked was his method of correction. He would teach me the logic behind why critical errors are counted as such and what are the absolute best actions to take in order to avoid them. 100/10 instructor

I was a very nervous driver going into my lessons!! Had my learners license for years before I braved going for my restricted, and it felt like for me a long shot. Driving with Satish was a breath of fresh air, very patient, kind, and motivating. He really helped me gain so much confidence!! I took my test a few months later and passed my first attempt! Highly recommend Satish to anyone needing to gain confidence in their ability.

Tara

Satish is truly one of a kind! There are so many driving instructors to choose from and I was nervous about finding the right person. After multiple lessons with Satish, I know that he was the perfect fit for me (and would be for many others too). He is patient, calm, funny, encouraging and kind. He always adapted his teaching style and lessons to suit my mood/energy levels/confidence on that particular day, which is a real skill for a driving instructor to have. He made learning fun and yet still really meaningful, which is again very hard to do! I had an absolute blast on our lessons despite being a very reluctant driver. I passed my driving test with no critical errors thanks to his excellent guidance and knowledge. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone :)

Mariam

I had a few lessons with Satish. 2 of which consisted of practice restricted tests. Satish taught me all the necessary skills I needed to pass. He was patient and made sure I was comfortable at all times. Overall he was a kind and genuine person who prepared me well. I passed my test today! because of him, I won a bet against my cousins hahah!
