Instructor Professionalism
Pros:
"Her teaching style is very good which means you pick up things quickly."
"Zara is an absolutely amazing instructor. Clear precise instructions which allowed me to drive without any hesitation."
"He was always on time and his teaching methods were key in me not only grasping the knowledge but retaining it."
"His teaching is amazing and clear, he is very patient and understanding."
"She's so friendly and a very good instructor."
"She’s super available and flexible on timings, perfect if you’re having to fit your lessons around work."
"He was always punctual and communicated well which meant I never had to worry about anything."
Cons:
"He would give me replies such as 'what do u think' and if I’m confused and ask him a question he once replied with 'this is where common sense comes into play'."
"Zara does talk on her phone to other people 99% of the time which is a bit unprofessional in my opinion."
"If you buy block classes and pay in advance... the instructor will not refund you the money or reschedule because she was fully booked for the rest of the month!!"
"The instructor will mostly be on phone and expect a bit of aggression if you make mistakes."
"Controlled the steering. Never taught me anything."
"AHMED in the AUDI was a EXTREMELY RUDE examiner."
"He shouted at me like I was a kid, (literally screamed on my face)."
Instructor Support and Encouragement
Pros:
"She'll definitely build up your confidence."
"Ali has transformed me from a learner to a calm and confident driver."
"She encouraged me to overcome my worries and concerns with my driving."
"She tells it like it is and supports you all the way with laughs and tons of patience."
"She treats you more like a friend rather than a student."
"She's amazing at what she does treats me more like a friend than a student."
"She was so professional, she made me feel comfortable and she brought out the confidence in me that I was holding in."
Cons:
"Had Zara as an instructor. Feel like my money went to total waste."
"She did not meet my expectations of an instructor at all, very disappointed."
"Instructors fail to speak adequate English, the manager/owner I believe by the name of Zahra was very stuck up and narrow-minded."
"Zara is a bad instructor if you make the choice of picking her as your instructor I must say I feel sorry for you."
"The arrogant foul somehow seemed to not understand that she’s a complete new driver and requires patience & understanding."
"She had dropped my confidence down rather than boosting it where she had said that I won't be able to complete my test unless I take 2 hours per lesson with her."
"Demotivated me and made me feel like crap about learning to drive."
Passing the Test
Pros:
"I just passed my test on my first attempt. I couldn't be more happier and many thanks to Jay, my instructor, who is a wonderful person."
"I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to pass first time!"
"I would like to strongly recommend him for anyone wanting to get their license soon!"
"Within a few weeks I was confident on the road and passed my test recently."
"I recommend because I passed first time in Barking even with its rumors to be a really difficult place to pass as a learner."
"Both me and my sister have taken lessons with Zara and PASSED!!!!"
"I passed first time with only 3 minors thanks to my brilliant and supportive instructor Ahmed."
Cons:
"Stay well away from this driving school and find another that will teach you from start to finish without making an already stressful time even worse."
"It’s not a school I’d advice anyone to try because of what I have experienced and on top of it the lessons are very stressful and you will learn nothing."
"I did indeed FAIL with Ahmed and he couldn’t care less and just told me to book more lessons with him."
"Abdul wadud is the worst driving instructor in the world."
"Zak Irdem is a horrible instructor."
"I’m convinced the 5 star reviews are fake because a lot of the 1 star reviews are the same experience I had."
"Don’t take lesson from her then It will be waste of your money."
