What Our Learners Say
A wider mix of reviews from learners who passed with different Latics instructors.
I had Zoe I passed first time she is a great instructor
I passed my driving test first time thanks to Sitara! She made me feel so comfortable around the wheel with her patience and bubbly personality. Commentary driving really helped me improve, paired with her wellbeing coaching techniques such as taking deep breaths, made driving feel less stressful. She’s incredibly supportive and encouraging, and i couldn’t recommend her more!
I am so glad that I found Zoe to teach me to drive! She is patient, reliable and always explains things clearly. She did her best to arrange lessons for me around my busy timetable. Most of all she helped increase my confidence. Thank you Zoe!
I have had plenty of driving instructors and I have to say Matt is easily the best instructor I’ve had I can’t recommend him enough
A massive thank you to Paul! For helping me pass my test on my first try. Paul has been an amazing instructor from the start to the very end. Helping me build my confidence, as I was a big over thinker. I’d recommended him to anyone who’s looking to start their driving lessons.
David is a fantastic driving instructor! He is always so patient, kind and encouraging, and he never makes me feel bad when I make mistakes. Instead, he takes the time to guide me through them and helps me understand how to improve. He has also helped me become less nervous and more confident behind the wheel. I really appreciate his support and patience throughout my learning journey. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a supportive and professional driving instructor!🤩
I had Sohail as an instructor, he was very patient and clear when instructing me. By the end I felt Sohail had taught me how to be a safe and confident driver and I had passed first time. I would definitely recommend him/Latics to others looking to learn to drive.
Really patient and friendly driving instructor, great feedback from each lesson from sohail Mohammed, i felt like I was learning something new every week, and i could feel my confidence growing stronger and more knowledge about the roads, i have had two other driving instructor in the past and I can honestly say i wish that I had started with sohail Mohammed because he made my driving experience so much better, i really enjoyed working with sohail and I highly recommend him if you want to pass your driving test,
I would highly recommend Zulfekar Ahmed (Zulf) at Latics Driving School for automatic lessons. I passed first time with him. He was really punctual, professional, and always explained things clearly. I was panicking near the end, but he tried his best to keep me calm. He will push you hard to be perfect so that on test day you pass with a breeze. Really glad that I have passed. I wish Zulf and Latics Driving School all the best.
Chris was a really good instructor. Very patient throughout and gave me some really useful tips. Couldn’t recommend anymore
Zulf Ahmed! When starting with Latics I was so nervous and lost all confidence in driving. He made me feel so at ease from day 1, I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor.. he is always so calm unless it’s his tyres lol. I would not of passed without him and I can’t thank him enough.
Great experience had Paul as a instructor known Paul for a lot of my life he was a great driving instructor through my two test and all the lessons inbetween he was great couldn’t ask for a better instructor
I honestly couldn’t recommend my driving instructor Sitara Begum enough. She was so patient, supportive and encouraging throughout my lessons, especially when I doubted myself. She didn’t just teach me how to pass my test, but how to become a confident and safe driver and a first time pass with her! I genuinely feel like I wouldn’t have achieved it without her support, and I’ll always be grateful for everything she has done for me. Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! She really is such an incredible representation of Latics driving school! From someone who’s had a lot of instructors Sitara really is the best!!!
My instructor was Sitara I passed first time in under 30 hours, highly recommended from my close friend Tyler who passed with her under 20 hours, she is an amazing teacher calm and respectful talks you through everything perfectly and makes u understand the car and the roads, great instructor
I joined latics in March 2026 with a lady called Sarah! Learning to drive in an automatic .. I had 2 instructors before latics and I was never confident with either of them. The amount of times I stopped and gave up.. so I decided to join latics on my final try.. I’m 35 and was very anxious! Sarah is a lovely woman! She is very calm, understands how you’re feeling and puts you at ease everytime. She is very patient! Which is what we want as we are learning to drive. Sarah is great! She helped me build my confidence up on the roads and without her I wouldn’t have been where I am today! I passed first time at chadderton test centre with Sarah. And only had 1 minor! .. I’ve said this to her before and I’ll say it again. She was the calm to my storm! And I know she will be for each and everyone of her students! I would highly recommended Sarah to friends and family to help with anyone’s driving journey!
Recently passed my test. Zulf was my driving instructor and has simply been amazing. He is very patient, easy to get along with and really puts you at ease. Lauren booked in my lessons and has always supported myself and Zulf from the sidelines. Its great to see that Latics really supports their instructors and learners. Cannot recommend Zulf and Latics enough. Thank you, David
I would recommend Latics Driver Training, and especially Naz, with absolute confidence. After failing my last two tests with three major faults under a different instructor (external to Latics), I managed to pass first time with Naz with only one minor fault! Naz is, and has always been patient, knowledgeable and overall a great person to learn with. He ensured everything he taught was noted and understood with confidence. Without his strong approach and great banter, I wouldn't have been anywhere near as confident or likely to pass. Thanks Naz!
I couldn’t recommend Sitara enough! She was such a patient and encouraging driving instructor throughout my lessons. She completely reassured me and calmed my nerves before my driving test. Thanks to Sitara I passed my driving test first time. I would definitely recommend Sitara she is amazing.
I just wanted to say thank you so much to Mat for all the help and encouragement you have given me to help me pass first time. I do recommend mat because he’s a calm and welcoming person and always open to answering any questions when it’s safe to do so. If you struggle with a certain part of the drive he will ask you to pull up and explain things. Overall, if you’re looking to do your driving lesson go for mat slack he’s the best!
Thank you to Zulf Ahmed for the support and guidance these past couple of months which resulted in a first time pass!!! And thank you to Claire for sitting it on a few lessons of mine and sharing tips on improving my driving :)
Very good, I had previous instructors and Lee was the best I had
Zulf is a great examiner and helped me learn a lot
I can’t recommend Naz enough he is an exceptional teacher, patient and clear with his teaching and helping me grow confidence behind the wheel, I can’t thank him enough for helping me pass my test first time! I’m grateful for everything he’s taught me and would definitely recommend him to anyone learning to drive. Thanks again Naz, Ryan.
I had such a great experience learning to drive with Sitara From the very beginning, I felt quite nervous about getting behind the wheel, but she made me feel comfortable and confident straight away. Her calm, patient, and friendly approach really helped ease my anxiety, and she was always so kind and encouraging throughout every lesson. I’m so grateful for her help in getting me to test standard — and passed ! I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn to drive.
Having just passed my driving test I couldn’t be happier with the lessons I had with Sohail! He is genuinely one of the best driving instructors in the world. He was always patient, detailed and took the time to explain everything properly, which really helped me build my confidence as a driver. Sohail always made sure I understood how to drive safely and confidently rather than just teaching me how to pass the test. His guidance and encouragement made a huge difference, especially when I was struggling with certain parts of driving. Thank you so much Sohail for all your help and support. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone learning to drive!
Latics is a great company to learn to drive with good prices for lessons and brilliant driving instructors especially Zoe.
Paul Mills is a great driving instructor
I confidently highly recommend Zoe as she has been such a patient, supportive and encouraging instructor throughout my lessons. She explains everything clearly & always made sure I understood what I was doing rather than just telling me what to do. Ive gained so much confidence with my driving because of her and she was always reassuring whenever I made mistakes or found something difficult. She’s really friendly, approachable and made every lesson feel comfortable and productive. I’m grateful for all her help and for getting me to where I am with my driving!!
Great to learn with , very comforting and understanding which helped me learn quickly
