Safdar should not be an instructor or a teacher. While he gives useful tips about driving in general, he is rude and quite impatient. Based on my experience I can understand that he does not usually say things in a polite or pleasant way because English is not his first language but honestly, there is a difference between saying "Let's try that again" and "You're wrong, you don't get it". He tends to rub your mistakes in your face, e.i., he would grab the wheel (when parked) aggressively to show me that I should have done half a steer as opposed to a quarter steer, all the while saying "Is that half a steer? Is that half? This is half!!". He also uses his phone while we're training! This might be unbelievable but he really does especially in situations where it's taking me rather long to perfect a manoeuvre --left corner reverse to be exact. He gets impatient and shows it with his body language (leans his left elbow on the door with his head also leaning on his left hand) and lets out a couple of sighs in between. I really don't think that's how a professional instructor should conduct himself! Learning with him was a traumatic experience. If you're unlucky enough to be in a position where you don't have a choice but to have him as your instructor please remember to at least tell him not to use his phone during the sessions. You are paying for his time after all and you deserve 100% of his attention. I had to cancel the last two sessions I booked with him as I simply could not stand his rudeness and unprofessionalism any longer. And by the way, he is the same person who left the 4-star review below without any content. Read Less
