Customer Reviews

Kaden Lee

I failed my driving test three years ago. I was predictably stressed about trying again. But I needed a license badly, so I was looking for courses or an instructor who could deal with desperate individuals like me. And voila! Everything went fine! I honed my driving skills and brushed up the theoretical information. I successfully passed my test and I can't even understand now why I failed it before.

Beryl Galbraith

After my friend got her driving license, she was over the moon. She said she wouldn't mind spending a few more months studying. I got curious and decided to follow her example. I asked whether I could have classes with her instructor but he went away on a vacation. The name of my instructor was Alex. He was optimistic, reassuring and polite. I passed my test on the first attempt.

Kathleen Arnold

I can't stop praising the professionalism of managers. They were incredibly attentive to every detail. They always remembered my name and our history of interactions. I had to reschedule things a few times because of my hectic work. I relocated from abroad and I had so many questions. The quality of service was simply brilliant! The managers always stayed calm, friendly and welcoming. They made me feel much more confident.

Jane Faber

I tried to get a driving license three times in the past. Every time, I would fail to complete my studies because I was not motivated enough. Probably, I was too young and lazy. On the fourth attempt, I finally succeeded! The instructors did a fantastic job. I was looking forward to seeing them again every time. They not only explained things to me but also inspired me. Sincerely recommended!

Nelly Goldman

When I tried to drive a car for the first time, it was a nightmare! I couldn't handle it! I told my instructor that I should probably quit because I'm hopeless. He smiled and said that he had heard these words so many times… It took me two weeks to get used to the process and I burst out with tears of joy! I'm so proud to have a license!

Dominique Gonzalez

The process of studying was very interesting! Some of my friends who got their licenses earlier than me complained about getting bored while memorizing the theory. I prepared myself for a similar experience — but actually, I had fun! The information was very well-structured. I understood everything on the go and had to ask questions only a couple of times. Thank you so much for the amazing classes and wonderful teachers!
