Today is the happiest day of my life because I passed my driving test at the Barnet test centre. I didn't do this on my own. It's thanks to Sakine from Drive times who taught me how to drive . She tolerated my mistakes and was so patient and kind she knows all it takes to be a good driver and she made sure I knew what it entails before the test . She is an amazing instructor and I will recommend her to anyone who wants to pass their test as a safe good driver . She made driver easy for me. The parallel parking that I used to fear is so easy for me now . I am so glad
Drive times made it happen for me.

This driving experience has been the best that I have experienced. I have previously had a bad driving instructor who was not patient with me. But with every lesson I booked with Sakine, I was welcomed with a kind warm smile, and great tips for driving that are amazing to the everyday driver.
I would highly HIGHLY recommend Sakine to anybody who wants to genuinely learn and understand how to drive.
Amazing instructor, Thank you so much Sakine, God bless you!!!!!! ❤️🫂💓

I passed my driving test in Chingford first time in 2013 with the help of Sakine. She is very hard working driving instructor and care about her learners so much. I only had 2 minor and was so easy to pass. I highly recommend her.

Sakine shouted at me for almost entire lesson. I feel she showed no empathy towards a new driver. She made sarcastic jokes to make me feel even more nervous.

I highly recommend Sakine for all her guidance, clear instruction that made me feel confident on the road. My theory test was to expire and I passed my test a day before at Wood Green driving center. A fantastic instructor 👍🏿❤️

I passed first time on a very tricky Barnet test route today thanks to Sakine. When I first came to her I had a lot of bad habits and was very nervous as an older learner. Sakine was incredibly supportive and helpful, and clear on the areas I needed to improve. I learned much faster with her than with previous instructors and now feel confident to do the driving I need for work.
Strongly recommended.

Outstanding experience
Outstanding experience! Sakine is brilliant. I had automatic refresher lessons in Wood Green. It was great. The lesson was well planned and Sakine has a unique approach to her learners. I am able to drive my car. I highly recommend Sakine if you’re a nervous person.
Great driving school
Sakine has been an amazing instructor. I had never driven before and was very nervous but she put me at ease immediately and helped me gain confidence. She explained everything clearly and helped me prepare for my test, which I just passed first time!

AVOID SAKINE AS A DRIVING INSTRUCTOR
Wow these people have managed to change my review content!
Bad driving school AVOID Sakine and her husband as driving instructors at all costs - filter by lowest review!
awful people who capitalise on your nerves before the test and force you to move your test and pay for more lessons!
Took me on a route that we had never been before (after 10 lessons) before my test. Crafty people

Best driving instructor!
I'd had several bad experiences with driving instructors before Sakine. She was the most patient, calm and reassuring instructor. She gave me confidence in my ability.

Outstanding experince !
İt was a real pleasure having driving lessons with Susan She iş extrenely knowledgeble and patient. I have always been intimidated from driving, it took years to decide to start to drive. I am so glad to find such a patient instructor. Especially when i didn"t understant she stopped me and showed me pictures etc. Making sure i understand the topic. I can write pages and pages. But cut the story i never imagined i would pass first time. Today i am over the moon. Passed in tottenham with only 4 minors. Thank you for all your hard work Susan.it was an absulote pleasure learning from you!
