My instructors name is Sitara and I kid you not she was the best instructor I could’ve ever had. with her I was able to pass today first time in under 18 hours and she cares so much about her students even through the times I was being a difficult student she still cooperated with me and helped me through the tough situations which I overcame. And before my test she helped me calm down and not be nervous which is something that many instructors won’t do. But to everyone I highly recommend Sitara as she to me is the best instructor ever.

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor than Sitara! Thanks to her amazing support and guidance, I passed my driving test first time. From the very beginning, she was patient, calm, and incredibly encouraging. Sitara is incredibly reliable, professional and supportive. Lessons were always well-structured and tailored to focus on the areas where I needed the most improvement. As my test approached, she made sure I felt fully prepared — practising different routes, covering tricky scenarios, and sharing valuable tips that really helped on the day. When test day arrived, I felt calm and ready, which is something I never thought I’d say! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely supportive driving instructor. You’ll be in the best hands! Thank you so much Sitara! ☺️

First time pass with Sitara. Sitara has been an incredible driving instructor. She is very friendly, supportive and flexible. She is very patient and explains things well; definitely what you want when you're learning to drive. Would absolutely go with Sitara again.

Sitara is an absolute angel! I had a not-so-great experience years ago with a different instructor and genuinely thought driving just wasn’t something I’d ever be able to master. Sitara changed that instantly. She made me feel comfortable from the very beginning, never once made me feel silly and was endlessly patient. She truly made me believe I was capable. Learning to drive can be stressful and nerve-wracking - I struggled with nerves, especially around test time - but Sitara was there through it all. She was encouraging, understanding and always positive. She went above and beyond: securing tests, fitting in extra lessons and helping me manage my confidence when I doubted myself. Not only is Sitara an incredible instructor, but she is also one of the kindest, most generous, compassionate, and supportive people I’ve met. She always told me the truth when I needed it, and I trusted her completely. I honestly can’t recommend her enough. I will genuinely miss our lessons together - she was everything I needed to pass, and I couldn’t have done it without her. Thank you for everything, Sitara! ❤️

I was booked with Sitara, amazing instructor that helped me learn how to drive and got me test ready in just 3 months. She got me a first time pass in under 20 hours of driving lessons, helped explain things to me very well and helped me understand mistakes i did and how to fix them perfectly. Best instructor i could have chose!🫶🏽

A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY INSTRUCTOR SITARA!!!!! If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have been able to pass today! After years of multiple instructors, I found you and I can’t thank you enough for all your support and encouragement you’ve given me Sitara! You’ve helped me so much to overcome the major anxiety I had with driving, and taught me to also enjoy driving too. It wasn’t just driving lessons I got, I also got some Therapy off you too, so a 2 in 1 service 😂 Thank you for listening to all my troubles and being there to guide me in my lessons and my life too! I really do feel like I’ve gained a lifelong friend! Anyone that gets Sitara as in instructor is going to be incredibly lucky to have her, she is so friendly, approachable and easy going but firm at the same time and she will adapt her teaching technique to you as an individual and what you need, which is such a positive quality to have as an instructor and rare to find! Thank you so much for everything Sitara, You are such a sweet, kind and incredible person and I wish you all the best Sitara in the future!

I passed my driving test with Sitara today and my words are simply not enough to express how great of an instructor she is! Apart from how lovely and friendly she always is, throughout my lessons, Sitara was always so supportive, attentive, calm, and so very patient with me, which is why I can’t recommend her enough! She genuinely changed my perspective on driving for the better, helping me overcome my driving anxiety, enjoy driving, and most importantly, build my confidence in driving, which I am and will always be grateful for. Sitara was also very insightful, direct, and firm when she needed to be, something I really appreciated and needed (especially before my test today when I started crumbling). I genuinely can’t recommend Sitara enough and I encourage anyone who wants to learn driving to learn with Sitara! She is not only a wonderful and great instructor, but also a lovely, genuine, and caring person! Thank you so much, Sitara! Will always be so grateful and thankful to you! x

Sitara has been the most patient, honest, caring, funny and friendly instructor. Without her motivating me I couldn't have done it.

Tasrina Begum

Sitara is an amazing instructor, she built up my confidence so much behind the wheel and made every lesson enjoyable.

Ellie Toms

Sitara was absolutely amazing with me, super patient and always calm. She's very reassuring and is with you every step of the way.

Shauna Clare

I would highly recommend Latics Driving school especially Sitara as a driving instructor. She is such a friendly person and made me feel completely at ease whilst on my lessons. She never made me feel like I couldn't do anything and was always very supportive if there was anything I was struggling with.

Jane Croft

I'm am so glad that I choose to learn to drive with Latics but more importantly I'm so happy I choose to learn with Sitara. Sitara worked so hard helping me build up my confidence with being on the roads, she worked tirelessly to make sure that I was more than ready for my practical test. I was never made to drive in a situation where I didn't feel comfortable and I was able to learn and progress at pace that suited me. Sitara taught me not to doubt myself and she always believed in me, towards the end of my lessons Sitara became more of a friend than an instructor and I am sad not to be having lessons with her anymore! She is amazing and I would recommend her to everyone!

Bethany Smith

Sitara, is great instructor very easy going always makes you feel comfortable. Sitara improved my driving massively got me more confident, more aware of certain situations, just an all-round great instructor. Which lead me to passing my test. Always goes that extra mile to make you a better driver, 100% recommended.

Rhys Boothroyd

A massive thank you to Latics and more specifically Sitara Begum, for her patience and belief in me that I'd pass. I honestly cannot thank her enough, I've had instructors before Sitara who honestly made me think I wasn't cut out for driving. Sitara helped me with my nerves by allowing me to go at my own pace and only pushing me when she knew I was ready. Offering in depth analysis of each manoeuvre and breaking those down into simple and memorable points. As someone who started off full of nerves and doubt from bad experiences with instructors, I'd highly recommended Sitara to anyone, especially beginners.

Elliot Collymore

First time pass with Sitara Begum! I was a nervous driver switched to confident driver. Not only have I passed first time and very comfortable with Sitara I also gained a friend for life. Best instructor I've had by far and recommend her to all my friends and family.

Lisa Hughes

I did my lessons with Sitara she was a brilliant instructor very calm and collective, made you feel at ease has a good sense of humour. Brilliant at what she does and i couldn't have done it without her best instructor going by far! First time pass with her too! Definitely recommend her.

Becky Heaton

I came back to driving after 9 months away, and passed my test first time after only 4 more lessons with the help and guidance of Sitara. Sitara makes you feel at home behind the wheel of a car, building your confidence and ability every step of the way. Her friendly and relaxed approach, balanced perfectly with her knowledge and excellent teaching ability, ensure that you become a safe and capable driver during her very enjoyable lessons. Many thanks for all your help Sitara!

Helen Schofield

Sitara makes you feel at ease 1st time pass with Sitara I was so scared to drive she makes you feel so at ease and comfortable doesn't rush you she's so caring and just a lovely human being I'm going to miss our lessons, but I know I've got a friend for life now thank you so much Sitara I will see you after Christmas for pass plus

Kirsty Corr

Sitara is an excellent driving instructor. She is very friendly, patient and relaxing. I loved every minute of my lessons and will miss her. I would highly recommend Sitara to anyone!

Ryan Slater

I’m writing to say thank you for Sitara helping me pass, Sitara is great at teaching, helping to understand where you went wrong and to go over your problems and things you struggles with and the good thing about it is she gives you time to get better at learn, my experience with Sitara was great and I would highly recommend her to anyone she is a great instructor, thank you!

Courtney Dixon

Sitara is very dedicated to her job! Cannot thank Sitara enough for helping me pass, always being patient with me even when my nerves got the best of me. Always pushing me to do my best, even when I thought I couldn't. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an amazing instructor to take lessons with. Very dedicated to her job.

Runeka Rahman

Sitara is really friendly! I recently passed my test with Sitara whom I would recommend to anyone. She’s friendly and a straight talker you know where you stand with her, Sitara goes above and beyond for her learners. listen and ask questions. I started my journey with Abdur Rob whom I would also recommend I was lucky to have two very hardworking and dedicated instructors. you could not go wrong with these two. Thank you both very much.

Chris Jinks

Sitara was polite and patient! Sitara Begum was polite, patient and allowed me to relax and take my time while driving, since I suffer from anxiety due to an experience from a previous instructor from another company. Passed first time as well on both my theory and then my test. Couldn't recommend her enough, thank you.

Ian Hughes

I would like to say a massive thank you to Sitara begum in helping me pass my driving test, Sitara is a lovely women not only was she my instructor but she became a friend and made my lessons more & more enjoyable, she was so patient & chilled definitely helped me be so calm on every lesson I had with her & I would recommend her with a 10* rating :)

Emma Walsh

Sitara was such a pleasure to learn with! I learnt to drive with Sitara from Latics and to say it was the most enjoyable experience is an understatement! She was such a pleasure to learn with, she made you feel so at ease behind the wheel even when I didn’t believe myself that I could do it. I passed first time after just 25 lessons of driving she’s just that amazing! I could not recommend her enough!!

Kezia Budsworth

Sitara always went above and beyond! I have been learning to drive with Sitara on and off for 2 years. Each time I came back to Sitara, she always went above and beyond to fit me in. She has not only been my driving instructor, she has been a great listener and has become a friend. She is so calm, and really explains any faults. She never got stressed no matter how stressed I was!! Thank you so much Sitara. I got my 1st time pass all because of you!!

Laura Miskell-Sharp

I would like to say a massive thank you to Sitara Begum for her patience and dedication in giving me the ability and confidence to pass my practical driving test on my first attempt. There has been a lot of sweat, tears and hard work but Sitara never gave up on me even when I felt like giving up. She has been an excellent instructor from my very first lesson to my last, she patiently but firmly helped me work on anything I struggled with until the problem was overcome, it wasn't always easy but Sitara always made my lessons fun. So, to finish I could not have wished for a better instructor Sitara you are simply the best, thanks again!

Christine Entwistle

Sitara was amazing from start to finish! I recently passed my driving 2nd time with Sitara. She was amazing from start to finish and I wouldn’t have gotten to this point without her support. She has helped me with every step of the way, building my confidence and being so encouraging to keep trying. I highly recommend anyone who is nervous to start lessons to go to Sitara as from the first lesson she will make you completely at ease!

Amy Crompton

Sitara is so patient, genuine and supportive! A big thank you to Sitara! She has been the most friendliest person to learn driving with. She is so patient, genuine and supportive, not letting me give up even when I had lost faith. Sitara has always believed in me and let me know this every lesson and I wouldn’t have passed without her support! I am truly going to miss driving with her, it was an amazing experience. Thankyou you Sitara, best wishes!

Shamima Akhtar

I would recommend Sitara to anyone. She is a patient, amazing instructor who I trusted to build up my confidence and skills. Her advice really helped me pass. Thank you so much Sitara!

I did my driving lessons with Sitara and she was a great, kind and encouraging instructor. She really helped me to further myself by being a much safer driver. She is so kind and patient and really helps you build confidence behind the wheel. Absolutely 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting to learn

Mohammed Rasul

Sitara has been the best instructor I could ask for as a first-time driver. Patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive. She always goes the extra mile to support her students, nothing was too much trouble, and she never gives up on you. I have really enjoyed my journey learning to drive with Tara and would recommend her to anyone!

Radu

I would like to say a massive thank you to Sitara for being such a patient, friendly and reassuring instructor, making sure to help when I get too nervous when driving. She has allowed me to learn at a pace I felt comfortable with and only pushed me when it was necessary. I really don't think I would have passed the first time without her. I would recommend Sitara to anyone!

Lusindy Liang

I met Sitara through a friend who recommended her to me and they were not wrong!! She has been my very first instructor and has been my last and she was so patient though the journey. She is a unique instructor and always puts your mind at ease and knows when to push you to your full potential. I want to thank Sitara for her dedication and how genuine she is. Shes such an incredible instructor to the point where during the test I was able to hear her voice even though she wasn’t even there!! I would definitely recommend her to other drivers.

Jannatul Khan

Aaron Wrigley

I learned to drive with Sitara begum, I can’t thank her enough. She has the patience of a saint. She made me feel at ease with everything and was very patient with me. I feel like I made a friend in her. I never in a million years believed I could pass but she always had the faith in me. You couldn’t ask for a better driving instructor, she is absolutely amazing. Thank you for all you have done for me and listening to my weekly moaning Sitara…..

Emma Gradwell

Hi It’s Amarai Hoque I’ve been learning to drive with Satara and I’ve just passed my test as of today, I just want to say how great Satara has been with me and so patient and even gone the extra miles when I’ve needed someone to talk to. She’s helped me massively and is such a great aspect to have working with all of you. 1000/10 and will definitely be recommending

Amarai Hoque

Sitara is an absolute diamond I'm so happy that I made the right choice of calling Latics, not only did Sitara help me with my driving she also helped me with my confidence and didn’t give up one me.I can honestly say she is an absolute diamond you have and I'm proud to say I've passed with Latics so I'd like to thank the big boss for choosing the right instructor :))

Halema Bibi

Passed first time with Sitara! Really can't thank sitara enough for the help and support from the beginning to the very end... I will be recommending her to all my family and friends… I looked forward to every single lesson, such a relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended!!

Stacey Jackson

I passed my test in under thirty hours and only got two minors which I couldn't have done without Sitara! She is a brilliant instructor who is very patient, has a lot of faith in her learners and makes you feel really confident and comfortable when you're driving. I feel assured that I have received excellent tuition and that I'm ready to drive independently now. I would highly recommend Sitara to anyone who is looking to start driving!

Emily Buckley

I decided that I needed to pass my driving test and had issues with previous instructors at other firms, after taking a chance with Sitara I can honestly say I'm incredibly happy with my choice. I've had 13 lessons with her and was ready for test, passing with only 1 minor. She didn't pressure me, was very calm and easy to talk to and best of all she is an incredible Instructor. During our lessons if I got something wrong she explained how to fix it in an easy to understand way, she really put me at ease behind the wheel and as a result, I feel a lot more capable, honestly cannot recommend Sitara and Latics, they are superb!

David Buckley

My instructor was Sitara and I honestly would recommend her to anyone learning to drive for the first time. She is so down to earth and friendly, so there was an instant sense of understanding. The lessons were fun and simple, having full confidence in her learners. She showed faith in her learners and was determined for them to pass for the first time. Thank you!!

Ikrah Shad

After passing my test this week I just wanted to thank Sitara for all her help in getting me ready for my test. She has been friendly, considerate and supportive throughout and would certainly recommend her to other learners.

Gavin Phelan

I can’t thank Sitara enough. She has been absolutely brilliant for me. She made learning to drive a pleasure and would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Sitara I really appreciate all your help.

Matthew Wignall

Excellent driving instructor makes you feel at ease, but also firm. I passed first time with Sitara as my instructor. She was so patient with me and gave me so much confidence. She was so easy to be around, great company, but she was also very firm with her instruction and teaching. She is an excellent teacher and I would highly recommend her. She will do her best to fit into your life schedule and when your test is approaching, she will give you the extra attention you need. I cannot recommend her enough and she helped to change my life. Thank you so much Sitara. I really miss her company.

Nicole Scott

Started my lessons with Sitara 3 months ago & passed today first time. She is an amazing instructor, enjoyed all my lessons with her and she was stern but taught me every in&out of driving on the road and the rules. Made sure I was ready for my test & boosted my confidence from 0-100. One of the best instructors I've ever had and have recommended her to quite a few people as she knows exactly what she's teaching and talking about. She is so lovely and friendly and never pressurised me but taught me in an amazing manner.

Sharmin Begum

I honestly couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor than Sitara! From the very first lesson she made me feel comfortable, supported and confident behind the wheel. She's so patient, calm and explains everything in a way that actually makes sense. On my test day I was so nervous, but she reassured me and believed in me the whole time. Her support and encouragement meant everything and helped me stay focused. She genuinely cares about her students and wants you to do well not just pass your test but become a safe and confident driver for life. I'm so grateful for all her help and would 100% recommend her to anyone learning to drive. Thank you again for everything, Sitara!

THE BEST INSTRUCTOR IN TOWN GOES TO SITARA BEGUM. Honestly 1000% recommend her. I couldn't have passed 1st time round without her, soo supportive, encouraging and easy going. She teaches in a very easy and relaxed manner. Number of years ago I have taken lessons twice with 2 different instructors and each time stopped after a few times. With Sitara there was no stopping. Still feels so surreal. Will surely miss taking lessons with Sitara Begum. Once again thank you so much

I passed first time with only 4 minors thanks to Sitara Begum! She was patient and made sure that I understood what she was teaching me.

I had a 5* service and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to start driving. My instructor was Sitara and was recommended from a friend. I was really scared to start driving and had no clue what I was doing but from day one Sitara made me feel comfortable and confident. Sitara is one of the best instructors and has taught 3 people of which are family and friends. She is a great friend and makes you laugh and makes every lesson really enjoyable; I looked forward to each lesson. I passed in 3 months from not having a clue to first time pass and I couldn't thank her enough. I also went onto the pass plus with Sitara of which I recommend. It helped me to gain better knowledge as well as confidence on the motorways. Sitara will always put you first and do her utmost to fit you in around your commitments, she goes out of her way and works out of her normal hours to ensure you get the best service she can provide. She is such a nice bubbly person and really sad to have passed and no longer have the lessons.
