Tariq is a great instructor only had 5 sessions with him and passed first time. Always focusing on what I needed to improve on. Does not get upset even if you ask the same question 10 times. Would highly recommend if you want to pass first time.

Passed my test

Tariq is incredible. Never a dull moment in our lessons. My confidence was shook after attempted this test twice already. I moved to him after my second fail and passed today! The way he teaches his lessons are amazing in a way that I can understand why and how to complete a move. Any questions I have I am happy to speak up and he always has the right answer more than happy to answer them. He is such a nice guy and had faith in me even when I didn’t have faith in myself.

Disappointing Experience – Poor Handling of Cancellation

I booked 5 lessons (10 hours total) and paid in full in advance. Initially, the instructor was friendly and motivating, which made me feel confident about learning.

However, after 8 hours of lessons, I had only covered basic left and right turns and limited roundabout practice, and I did not feel I was progressing at a reasonable pace.

The main issue occurred on 13 November 2025. My final lesson was scheduled for 10:00am, and due to a misunderstanding, I arrived approximately 15 minutes late. I immediately responded to the message informing me I was late and confirmed that I was at the meeting point, but the instructor did not reply or answer my calls and left without conducting the lesson.

As I had already paid in full, I was disappointed that there was no option to continue the remaining time or reschedule.

A refund was later offered on the condition that I remove this review, which I did not agree to.

This was my personal experience. I would recommend future learners confirm timings clearly and understand the cancellation policy before booking.

Great instructor

I passed my test thanks to Tariq who was an amazing instructor that was patient, supportive and really easy to learn from. He made every lesson feel relaxed while still pushing me to improve. Tariq was a great teacher and gave me the confidence I needed to pass and I would 100% recommend.

Tariq is the best

I just passed my test today! I had just 2 sessions with Tariq and I am so happy to say that thanks to him I passed!! He was absolutely incredible, he was so proactive in pin pointing exactly what I needed to work on, and we fixed each thing within minutes. After experiencing lessons with multiple instructors in the past, honestly Tariq is the best instructor I have ever met, he made me feel really confident and ready.

BEST IN THE GAME

BEST IN THE GAME! Tariq really knows how to tailor each lesson to suit each person, he taught both me and my partner and tailored our lessons to us as individuals which is what stood out the most to us. Every lesson I have had with this guy has been packed with experience, laughs and knowledge and I could not recommend anyone better than him!
Genuinely the nicest guy, serious when needed, and always pushes you to reach your full potential in every lesson. Tariq your dedication to each and every one of my lessons has been impeccable (even when your back has been in bits) and for that I can’t thank you enough!
If you’ve been lucky enough to stumble upon IQ driving school you really don’t need to go elsewhere, thanks again Tariq xx

100% recommend

Huge thank you to Tariq for helping me pass my test first time! He’s a great instructor who explains things in a way that’s easy to understand, even when they seem complicated at first. As a nervous driver, I really appreciated how calm and supportive he was throughout the whole process.

Tariq doesn’t just teach you to pass the test—he focuses on building your confidence so you are ready for real world driving after the test!

He’s always happy to answer questions (and never makes you feel silly for asking), and he’s genuinely a really nice, friendly guy.

I’ll definitely be recommending IQ Driving School to anyone I know who’s wanting to learn to drive—and if you’re reading this, I’d 100% recommend Tariq to you too!

Tariq is an amazing instructor!

Tariq is an amazing instructor!! He was super patient with me when I started and created a comfortable learning environment. He is very knowledgeable about all things test related and made me feel confident and ready for the test. More importantly, he made sure I was ok and kept reassuring me during lessons. Couldn’t have passed first time without him! Highly recommend to any learner driver :)

Such a good experience

Such a good experience, I had failed 3 times and did not know what else to do. I switch to Tariq and IQ driving school and passed within 5 lessons with him. He refined the skills already had and gave me new techniques that made me more confident with my driving. Just amazing !!
