Fantastic experience: I recently passed my G2 on the first try, thanks to Ronald! That wasn’t my only goal - I wanted to improve my overall driving skills to be better prepared for a variety of driving situations and feel more confident on the road, especially on highways. Ronald is an exceptional instructor who truly pays attention to details and offers invaluable advice on road safety. I highly recommend taking defensive driving lessons with him!

Fantastic experience: I passed my g2 first try! Ronald’s a great teacher

Xavier Yuvens 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I rented a car and had a lesson with Ronald to do my driving test today. He was great! The guy knows his stuff, and he’s super friendly. He pointed out a few bad habits I had and specific things I should watch out for to prepare me for the test. We went to the drive test centre together, and he congratulated me afterwards when I passed. Would 100% recommend!

Gabi Butcher 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Albert and Ronald's Driving School is fantastic! Their classes are clear and helpful, and having them accompany you on test day is a great confidence booster. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn and pass with ease!

Natan Hoppe 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald is a phenomenal instructor. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and shares excellent tips to help you remember what’s important. Even if you’re an experienced driver, there’s always something new to learn from him. He maintains high standards while teaching and will point out every single mistake so you can improve. 10/10.

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Ronald enough! Dedicated, professional, and gave me the confidence and skills I need to drive well and pass my G test.

Carlos Rosas 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald was the best teacher i’ve had throughout my life, he was very flexible and had different teaching styles he was very good at explaining rules and things i needed to do very well to the point where i didn’t need pictures or other help, and when i needed other help he had pictures and booklet to show me how things were done from a different perspective. I had booked my g2 with about a month of his classes and managed to pass very comfortably, if you have confidence issues or anxiety about driving i highly recommend him, although maybe do it earlier than a month before your test like i did.

Peter C. 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Went to Ronald to get highway experience before taking my G test, and got that much and more. He made me a better and more confident driver. It definitely helps too that he's good company and very easy to get along with, in my opinion. Highly recommend to anyone taking any level of the G license process.

Nisreen Shammout 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent safe and practical instruction from Ronald. He gives constant feedback as you're driving to help improve your awareness and skills, with a great sense of humor too! I took a few highway lessons to refresh my skills ahead of a G test and passed on my first try.

tidan shrestha 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I got my G2 Licence only with FOUR classes with Ronald. All thanks to him. He's got good teaching skills and knows updated rules, and regulations related to driving. I liked how he demonstrated every situation, and technique in his driving sheets and with his toy cars. I recommend everyone to visit Learner's Academy.

michael dawson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this company! I had a huge fear of driving before my classes but Ronald was a fantastic instructor. He really cares about teaching you the safe, proper way to drive and is doing a great service to this city - one new driver at a time. Just got my G2 first try! Thanks Ronald!

Marcos Stumpf 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This week I had the pleasure of learning to drive on the highway with João Carlos. He gave me all the tips and made me feel extremely comfortable, passing on all his knowledge in a very easy and practical way. I passed my G license without any mistakes!! I recommend it 101%

Wolf Virgo 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald is hands down the best driving instructor anyone could ask for. He gives great tips and helps slowly introduce new driving techniques. He’s also very funny and makes learning how to drive enjoyable. I will never forget him explaining to me the “wave of death”. He’s saving many lives by emphasizing what NOT to do as a driver. 5/5 would highly recommend!

Mai Tran 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend driving lessons with Ronald. He's professional, patient, and a natural teacher. He uses lots of different tools to help you learn to become a better driver appealing to people of all learning styles. He helped me prepare for my G2 roadtest which I passed on the first try!

Fantastic experience: Albert was a fantastic instructor, I went from zero experience driving a car to feeling confident, understanding the rules of the road and thorough notes for defensive driving strategies. Highly recommend!

Alex Paczek 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: If I could give 6 stars, I would. Ronald Gomez is the kindest and most patient driving instructor there is. The prices are also more than fair. Communication is efficient, and I learned so much.

Julien 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing driving school! Ronald teaches defensive driving and will teach you to drive (not just pass your driver's license exam). Definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to learn how to drive safely and feel safe on the road! Kudos to Ronald for being such an inspiring teacher and cool guy!

Melissa Shaw 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Had a great time with Ronald, he really took time to go through everything, the lessons he taught go way beyond just passing my test, I will use them forever!

Brian Okamoto 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald is a very thorough and meticulous instructor who is keen on getting results from his students. I struggled at first but quickly gained confidence under his clear and precise instruction. If you want to pass your drivers' test, this is the place to go to. A mature but nervous and inexperienced driver like me passed the G2 by letting Ronald's training guide me throughout the road test. Highly recommended.

Makeda Kafele-Green 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald was amazing! He was a great instructor and made me feel calm behind the wheel. I struggle with anxiety and driving can be overwhelming for me at times, but I felt confident behind the wheel after a couple of sessions with Ronald. With these lessons alongside some practice with my aunt, my driving skills and confidence really increased! Would highly recommend this driving school. P.S. Today I passed my G2 test on the first try!

Joona Kasekamp 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently passed my G2 road test and I can’t thank this place enough. Ronald was the best instructor very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place.

Sandra Halabi 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I want to highly recommend this driving school; specifically Ronald, he’s such an amazing instructor. He gives clear and simple instructions so the learner can easily follow, he also uses visual aids to make the idea even clearer. He’s passionate of his profession, very friendly and polite which provides a positive experience for the learner to drive confidently. Thank you

Ana 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent teaching both online and in-car. I started extremely nervous. It was for me a big learning curve. By the end of my 10th lesson, I was a completely aware and safe driver. I passed the test on the 1st try. Highly recommended!

George Armour 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently passed my G2 test on the first try after taking lessons with Learner's Academy Driving School, and I highly recommend reaching out to them if you're looking for an instructor. My instructor, Ronald, was exceptional - extremely patient, calm, and funny, making the learning process enjoyable and stress-free. Ronald provided practical advice and invaluable know-how, and I feel I've become a confident driver thanks to his teaching. We drove through various areas, including Downtown Toronto, Etobicoke, and Lake Shore Drive, giving me a broad range of experience. If you're aiming to become a skilled and confident driver, Learner's Academy Driving School is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: Had a really good time getting lessons from both Ronald and Carlos. Applying everything they taught I passed my G test on the first try!

Rachel Fitz 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Worked with Ronald the last few weeks and he is an excellent instructor. So patient and really helped me build my confidence. I just passed my test thanks to him. Would highly recommend.

Léo Jourdan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I started my in-person classes with Ronald less than four weeks before my G2 driving test (and with very little driving experience)! I really appreciated Ronald's teaching style: he was very patient, helpful and clear, and never put me in an uncomfortable situation. I also had the pleasure of working with Carlos, who made sure I was ready and calm on the day of my G2 test. Besides passing the test on my first try, my experience at the driving school has made me much more comfortable driving, I highly recommend it!

Avi Fraser 1 year ago

Negative experience: It's been a while since I've had my 2 lessons (in the beginning of 2022), but I was curious to see if this school was still operating and I am absolutely BAFFLED that there are good reviews, so I decided I need to put in my part. I forgot exactly who my instructor was, but he made me meet him outside a subway station in -20 weather. He was late. I told him exactly what I needed help with (reverse & parallel parking), but instead he made me drive around in circles for the hour. Then, he made me drop him off at his home so that he can use the washroom, and made me walk to the subway in the FREEZING cold. I don't know what made me take a second lesson, but I did. Same thing happened. I've since moved to BC and finally got my license with the help of an amazing instructor, who was extremely comprehensive, picked me up & dropped me off at my home, and even helped me with using my own car before my lesson. The guys at the Learner's Academy write on their website that "they are not a taxi service" but it is completely standard to drop-off & pick-up a student within their home, especially when you're paying decent money for a lesson. It's extremely disappointing to see this school is still around.

Bryan Wei 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I went from driving without any techniques to passing my G test on my first try thanks to Albert! He was ever accommodating to do 2 hours lessons every day for 4 days before my G test. He taught me actual techniques I could implement on the road and defensive driving. Thanks to him he catches my mistakes and would make suggestions on what I could do to avoid them. He even explained why certain actions are dangerous on the road. He’s also incredibly patient whenever I failed to do something. That helped with my confidence a lot. I would never think I could pass my G test on my first try! Thanks Albert!

Abeer Ahmed 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald is hands down the best driving instructor! I've had other instructors who didn't even come close to Ronalds expertise. Not only did I pass on the first attempt, but Ronald taught me how to be a responsible and defensive driver. I am so much more confident in my driving thanks to Ronald.

Liisa Aaltio 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with Learner's Academy Driving School, if I could give six stars I would! I had a foreign driver’s license and needed to build up skills and confidence to drive downtown, navigate busy highways safely, and get comfortable with new traffic rules and flow. My instructor Ronald Gomez gave me excellent guidance and priceless feedback, went above and beyond with his attentiveness and attention to detail, and made me relax with his confident teaching as well as positive learning environment. Not only did I gain invaluable knowledge and practice for the road, I also passed my G on the first try at Downsview. I was recommended to this driving school by a friend and 100% recommend this school for everyone!

Keshwar Bhagat 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently completed and successfully obtained my G2 driving licence in the first attempt, thanks to Ronald Gomez at Learners Academy Driving School in Toronto, and I am thrilled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. From start to finish, Ronald exceeded my expectations, providing a comprehensive and professional learning environment that the school truly stands out for. Ronald is not only highly qualified but also incredibly patient and supportive. He creates a positive and comfortable atmosphere that fosters learning and boosts confidence. He took the time to understand my individual learning style, tailoring the lessons to suit my needs perfectly. His commitment to safety and adherence to traffic rules were evident throughout the entire learning process. The practical lessons were not just about passing the test but also about developing lifelong safe driving habits. I felt well-prepared and confident when it was time to take my road test. Another aspect that sets Learners apart is their flexibility in scheduling lessons. Whether you're a student with a busy academic schedule or a working professional with limited free time, Ronald accommodated my needs. In conclusion all I can say is Learners Academy Driving School in Toronto is the epitome of excellence in driver education. If you're looking for a driving school that combines expertise, professionalism, and a supportive learning environment, Learners is the perfect choice. I highly recommend this Driving School to anyone seeking not just a license, but a foundation for a lifetime of safe and responsible driving.

Logan Munro 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently got my G2 license, and I doubt that I would have passed without Ronald’s help. He’s great at explaining things in detail without losing patience, and making sure that everything is fully understood. He prepared me for all sorts of situations, with more than enough knowledge to pass the test confidently, and become an all around better driver. I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone looking for an instructor.

Emily Antze 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I am an older novice driver, and came to Learner's Academy for help preparing for my G test, which I had previously failed three times over the years. I worked with both Ronald and Carlos, who have very different styles but both of whom I learned a lot from. Ronald brought a critical eye to my driving technique and habits, and worked with me intensively to identify and break down some bad habits and replace them with new, safer ones. Then Carlos gave me some final tips and tricks, and helped me achieve a mental calm while driving which made a huge difference given how anxious I get in these tests. I didn't immediately pass my next try on my G test (mostly due to nerves), but i re-registered for three weeks later and after one final prep session to address the areas I'd struggled with on the road test, today I passed (and with flying colours, I actually had an excellent score). I can't believe I am finally a fully licensed driver after years of struggling with this, and really credit Ronald and Carlos with getting me there, and helping me develop into a much better, safer driver.

Christian Anton 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald is super cool and very good at teaching you to drive safely, as well as preparing you for the exams. Car is new, and their rates are hood. 10/10 would recommend.

char s 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Learners Academy Driving School is the best! Ronald is SO detail oriented, making sure you learn all the necessary steps while staying so patient and determined for you to succeed. I would 100% not be comfortable with driving if it wasn’t for him and his team.

Kas m 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I took the BDE course with 40 hours online and 10 hours of in car driving lessons with Carlos. I had a great experience driving with him. He was patient, kind and knowledgable and always on time! I would recommend it to anyone. And I passed my G2 driving test on the first try!

K Priya 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had the best instruction with Ronald here. As a first time driver who is super nervous about it, I passed my G2 at Etobicoke on the first attempt thanks to my practice here! Definitely recommend

Hanna Galbraith 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I PASSED my G-2 with an almost perfect score!!!!! Story time: I came to Ronald extremely fearful and anxious about driving. I definitely had a driving phobia. It was bad. I would shake uncontrollably behind the wheel, cry, panic and freeze up in the middle of intersections. Some days I truly thought it was impossible of reaching the dream of having my license and buying a car. I truly believed I would never conquer my fears. But I was determined to try!!!! So if this sounds like you- take it from me, a 30 year old woman who never thought she could do it. I just did it!!!!!! Ronald was patient and worked with me for almost a year of lessons. Some days I wanted to give up if I made a mistake but I stayed consistent, pushed through it and kept investing in myself. I never imagined I would pass my G-2 on my first attempt - seriously! I did not think I would pass it….but I did it. Thanks to Ronald’s amazing teaching. **for those who have read reviews about the teachers at learners drivers academy getting upset- please remember that when they are in the car with you they are sometimes teaching you lessons that could mean the difference between life or death. They take it seriously so yes- a little frustration can occur but operating a car is a serious matter! So don’t let that stop you from booking lessons with them!!! Choose Learners Driving Academy if you want serious, professional teachers. Choose Learners Driving Academy if you want to stay consistent and get over your fear or phobia of driving. Choose Learners Driving Academy if you want a judgement free zone to work on your driving skills for as long as you want!! I would see Ronald multiple times a week- for hours! Choose learns driving academy if you want to get your license and be a confident, defensive, safe, smart, happy driver!!!!!! Good luck and work hard- you got this!!!

Joon Kim 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I took classes with Ronald and recently got my G2 license! He's very articulate with his teachings and I enjoyed every lesson with him! He teaches EVERYTHING you might want to know and will definitely recommend to anyone whos not only looking to get their license, but really learn how to drive on the road.

Rebecca Cargill 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I just got my G2 today, and if it wasn't for Ronald I don't think I would have passed. I had taken driving lessons before, but Ronald helped improve my skills so much, explained everything perfectly and in a way that made sense to me. He had me talk through my actions so I understood what and why I was doing everything. He was incredibly patient and understanding, as well. I felt more confident in my driving on a whole and he taught me skills that are not only important for the test, but for as long as I'm on the road. I would 100% and already have recommended these lessons to anyone who is looking for a driving instructor.

Liam Lawrence 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had lessons with both Ronald and Carlos while practicing for my G2 test. I also borrowed the car and used it to pass the G2 test. Both instructors were fantastic! I learned so many defensive driving practices over just a few lessons that my driving noticeably improved in a short time. Thank you very much!

J A 2 years ago

Negative experience: Let me start off by saying that a school that has a no-refund policy, is a serious red flag! Avoid this school at all costs! First driving lesson consisted of a lot of talk, which started with Albert farting in the car, then denying it. It later turned into me filling the tires with air, and wasting more time doing nothing. I was naive, and wanted to give them a second chance, so I did a second lesson. That consisted of more wasted time, by picking up and dropping his mother off from groceries. Completely unprofessional! Avoid this school at all costs!

Kira Tejada 2 years ago

Negative experience: I finally passed my G2 but did not do it through this school. Actually, I was traumatized from driving because of this place and avoided driving for a long time. My driving instructor was Albert and he would just straight up yell and swear at my face. I remember having my first full blown panic attack while I was driving, I couldn’t speak and he was still yelling at me. If you’re a nervous first time driver, avoid this place at all costs!! Also, I remember calling in the first time to inquire and they just pressured and pushed me into paying since they were starting class in a few days. Just felt scummy overall.

Nicholas Fabro 2 years ago

Negative experience: I took lessons with Albert a few years ago. Learning academy did teach me the basics of driving and they cemented the rules of the road in my head. However, I found them to be lacking in professionalism. Albert would often show up late for our lessons. He would also have me drive him to his home, the grocery store and other errands in the middle of our lessons. I probably spent a total of about an hour waiting for him on time that I paid for. Alberts demeanor during lessons was atrocious. He would regularly tell me stories about crashes he had witnessed, people he had seen die and how dangerous driving was in general while I was behind the wheel. It didn't really inspire confidence in me as a new driver. Driving in rush hour is hard enough. It's next to impossible with a 300 lb man screaming in your ear and slapping your hands off the steering wheel when you make a mistake. I didn't get comfortable driving until I started practicing with a friend about a year later. I now hold my G License and am a safe and confident driver. But it took me a long time to unlearn all the anxieties Albert had instilled in me. Learning academy's lessons are much cheaper than formal driving lessons, but I really wish I had paid to go somewhere else. Do yourself a favour and avoid this shoddy business.

A B 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I got my G2 yesterday on my first try and Ronald is an awesome teacher. He has tons of experience so he can spot major and minor issues in your driving. He will make you a great defensive driver. Ronald is extremely detail orientated and every lesson is packed with knowledge. He has a very hands on teaching approach and a great attitude towards teaching. I would highly recommend learn Learner's Academy Driving School and Ronald to everyone!

Derrick Moreira 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald is an amazing driving instructor he made me feel more confident behind the wheel and has helped me improve a lot on my driving. He’s very nice, knows how to give clear instructions and advice, didn’t make me feel stressed while driving and knows how to make a person laugh. I highly recommend learners academy for anyone that wants to improve there knowledge and skills about the rules of the road and driving.

Rose Niu 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I just got my G2 today! My instructor Ronald was really really patient during my driving lessons, and he was making the effort to teach me to be a defensive driver and stay safe behind the wheels instead of just trying to pass the road test. Appreciated Ronald’s tips!

Harry Myles 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald was a great instructor and prepped me to pass my G test after having not driven for a while. His lessons go above and beyond the test so you are extra-prepared.

Tom Fortes 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald was a very good teacher, calm, friendly, and very knowledgeable, and was very helpful for me in the process of getting my G drivers license. I would definitely recommend this school. Thank you one more time for the help!

Ethan Birch-Shiels 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Did lessons with both Albert and Ronald. Both were very easy going and very informative. Thanks two these 2 amazing brothers I was able to get my G2 first try :) highly recommend to new - Old drivers alike. They offer highway classes too !

Julieta Martinez 2 years ago

Negative experience: I had a good experience with Albert but midway through my lessons Ronald became my instructor. During my last lesson, my driving was unfortunately bad enough that Ronald lost his patience, yelled at me and grabbed my leg to push the gas in what was already a very stressful situation. I felt very uncomfortable being touched and yelled at by someone who is supposed to help me. I paid for 10 hours but did not feel comfortable finishing the last hour and a half. I’ll be looking elsewhere if I decide to take lessons in the future again.

Raul Crainic 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald was a great driving instructor. He is very attentive and has a ton of experience. He can notice little adjustments to help you become a more confident driver. Confidence is key for the driving test and he explains things really well and in a calm manner. Would highly recommend this driving school, communication was easy and they were punctual with their timing.

Anand Pillai 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’m glad I got Ronald as my driving instructor l. Got my G1 in Jan and went for direct G in feb with my extract from home country. Passed in the first attempt itself. Ronald was very professional and explained where I need to improve crisp and clear. He was friendly and dedicated.

Irisa C 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! Ronald is an experienced, patient, and thoughtful instructor, and I always felt very safe with him. He taught me the skills to develop confidence on the road and understand proper defensive driving strategies. I could not have passed my G without him! Something I’ll highlight is that the fellow students I saw before and after my lessons all came from different walks of life. There were also a lot of WOC, a testament to how trustworthy and good-natured Ronald is. Having had some creepy instructors in the past, this was a refreshing and heartwarming change. Thanks for everything, Ronald!

Quintaya Jackson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best driving school ever! Ronald’s patience and excellent teaching skills has given my confidence I needed, I am proud to say that I am now a g2 driver. Highly recommend!!

Louisa Zhu 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came to this school based off of recommendations from other anxious drivers and I am so glad I did. Ronald at Learner's Academy Driving School is an excellent instructor. Friendly and patient but also rigorous in a good way to keep you honest with yourself. He is also highly knowledgeable, and uses a lot of different teaching tools and tactics to help you understand the material. I had never driven before and Ronald was very good with answering all my questions as they came up. Passed my G2 test on my first try and I actually felt very calm and confident as I was doing it thanks to the guidance and technique I was taught. My partner has commented multiple times on the improvement he sees in my driving after doing lessons and he has even implemented some of the tips I learned from Ronald into his own driving.

Jeff Jackson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Driving in Toronto is stressful. If you are looking for an instructor to put your mind at ease. Look no further. Ronald taught me everything there is to know about becoming not only a skilled driver but a safe driver in the ever growing congestion of Toronto. Reliable, punctual and so incredibly passionate about making sure you pass that road test. Thanks Ron, you made learning how to drive a rewarding and extremely enjoyable experience!

Sarah Ng 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I spent 17 years avoiding the driver's seat and then suddenly had an ambitious goal. Get my G2 within 42 days before I had to get my G1 for the 4th time. I was always too anxious and scared to drive and my parents refused to be in the vehicle to let me or any of my siblings learn or practice. Ronald is a fantastic instructor and I loved the focus on defensive driving which you find yourself using instantly once you stop over thinking about your hands and feet. 42 days from my first driving lesson to my G2 test is not a lot of time when you're not driving every day and although my goal was ambitious, Ronald was the one to push me to keep my test because I did waver and want to give up. I even cried during one of our lessons because I was so frustrated with myself (not with the instructor) and he didn't make it weird but assured me that students cry more often than you would think. The prices are incredibly reasonable if you compare them to other driving schools too as I personally wanted more than 10 hours of in car lessons. I also enjoy that they offer 2 hour lessons instead of other driving schools doing 45 mins-1 hour. 2 hours is a great time to get comfortable and flies by so quickly as I did feel that 1 hour felt too short when I did do a shorter lesson. I look forward to more lessons with Ronald to help get my full G!

Anna Kiseleva 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing! I came in with some experience: a few hours driving with angry parents and 10 hours with another school's instructor who never looked up from his phone during lessons, so I was incredibly stressed about driving. Ronald was extremely patient with me and taught me quite honestly everything I know now. I've spent 7 hours with him, and it was enough to get my anxiety calmed down & even get me excited about driving again. I just passed my G2 with flying colours today!

Alicia Sam 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing driving school! I had Ronald as my instructor and what can I say? I was as nervous as they came and he was so patient, gave such great tips, and always came prepared with driving tools to better explain different maneuvers. My family and friends were always so impressed by the tips I told them that he gave to me as they had never heard of them before. But on my test it was those tips that helped me pass. He always told me that he was teaching me things not just to prepare me for my test but for the rest of my life and I truly appreciated that. I can’t thank Learners Academy enough! I promise to continue to drive safe using the tools they have given me. Keep up the great work!

Alex M 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald was a great instructor! Not only is he knowledgeable, he also has patience. I went into my lessons a nervous driver, but he really helped build my confidence behind the wheel. Learning how to drive in a busy downtown Toronto area can be quite intimidating, but Ronald breaks everything down in a way that is easy to understand by using diagrams, pictures, and other visuals (which I personally find very helpful). Because of the confidence that Ronald helped me gain and his experience as an instructor, I was able to pass my G2 on the first try! Will be coming back before going for my G and would definitely recommend Ronald any day! Thanks again!

Sandra Franke 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My driving skills on the highway needed upgrading after 20 years of only driving in the city. Ron very patiently took me from basic driving techniques and onto the Gardiner Expressway at 100 km/hr. I now feel very confident and calm driving at high speeds.

Daniel 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald is a fantastic instructor, amazing at explaining everything and teaching you to drive safely. I went from extremely anxious behind the wheel to confident and passed my G2 first try! Highly recommend, and planning to get my G with him.

Mira Browne 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald is an amazing instructor! I wouldn’t have been able to pass my G2 without him. He have great tips on parking, turning, lane changes and more. He really helped me develop my confidence in my driving ability.

Cory C. 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just had Ronald as a driving instructor and passed my driver's test with flying colours. Ronald is a great instructor that really knows his stuff. I was a little worried about booking my test at Downsview (with the relatively high failure rates), but practicing driving before the test with Ronald helped a lot! Thanks for everything!

Fantastic experience: Ronald was great, professional and really educated in teaching defensive driving. Never got upset when I did a mistake by explaining why it was wrong and unsafe. Takes time to help on problem areas and easy to book classes. Took a total of 5 classes and passed my G2 on the first try. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: I guess you could say I got lucky: I found Learners doing a Google search and read the reviews (hoping they were all legit) and took the plunge. Driving-wise, I am a city dweller (with no car), driving experience in country where we drive on the other side of the road, who had a G1 mostly for ID purposes. When that expired during the pandemic, I decided that it was time to go all the way. Ronald is an exceptional instructor. He is patient and practical. He is exceedingly up to date with the rules of the road, insider knowledge and I appreciate that his teaching style is both verbal as well as visual (diagrams, model cars and videos). He also has nerves of steel. I overheard someone trying to negotiate the price of the lessons and I'll say this: you could probably find someone cheaper but I doubt you'd get the level of expertise, friendliness and professionalism that you will get from Learners. Worth every penny...and I passed my G2 on the first try. Thanks again and see you for my G!

Negative experience: My son took a couple of lessons here at the Learners Academy Driving School with Albert a couple of months ago. The lessons were okay at first but they quickly went downhill. Albert would constantly raise his voice at him, telling him that he needs to pay attention more while angrily pointing at the mirrors. He would also smack, literally hit his hands off the wheel sometimes while he drove, telling him to let go of the wheel. He also kept saying that he would fail the test over and over again, and would take the wheel from him forcibly when he wasn't making the turns as quickly because he was nervous which was expected. He'd belittle him, saying that he kept making mistakes and that he "was just taught this so he should know better". Albert would often forget what happened in their previous lessons, asking my son to "refresh" him on what was happening. Overall, a lack of professionalism, lots of aggression which made my son much more nervous behind the wheel, and a lot of impatience. I will not be recommending this school to anyone because of his poor experience.

Fantastic experience: I had a really good experience. I got my G2 in my first try. I will also be attending for my G classes next summer. Ronald is a very good teacher. 10/10 recommend. Honestly.

Fantastic experience: My mom and my dad did lessons with Albert many years back and had a very successful experience with him. I just finished my own lessons for my G2 road test and passed my test first try with all the help of my incredible instructor, Ronald. He is a smart instructor that is great at making sure his students excel to the best of their abilities. This is the perfect driving school to take lessons with whether you have Ronald or Albert as your teacher. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Albert is a fantastic teacher! He's patient and very knowledgeable. I was an anxious driver and had some bad habits from previous lessons with another instructor. Albert was understanding when I made mistakes, and took the time to help me correct them. He always gave his full attention to me and the road during our lessons, and I finally passed my g2 with him. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Albert and Learners Academy if you’re looking for driving instructors :D

Fantastic experience: Incredible service. Ronald was a fantastic instructor who took me from complete beginner to passing my g2 test. Always responsive whenever anything came up and explained things really clearly in a way that made me confident and ready. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Can’t even begin to express how awesome of an instructor Ronald is! Literally just passed my G2 at Downsview park on the first try. Ronald’s teaching and visual aids are helpful for new learners. I took lessons with Ronald for a year without any other practice and passed on my first try. If that doesn’t say it all I don’t know what does. Go with Ronald at Learner’s Academy driving school. He is patient, knowledgeable and helps build the confidence and skills you need to become a safe driver. Thanks so much Ronald!!

Kaylan Jones 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have driving experience from another country so I went straight from a G1 to a G. I know I would not have been able to do it without Ronald as my driving instructor. In 7 lessons, Ronald was able to point out bad habits I had developed over the years and he was also able to provide me with useful defensive driving tips. I passed my G on the first try and I was very happy! Thanks Ronald :).

Fantastic experience: Learner's Academy provides the best possible training for your driving exam. I trained with Carlos, and he is an excellent teacher - he'll make sure to cover all bases, go through everything at the right pace, and help you stay calm throughout Strongly recommend for anyone looking for an instructor - esp. those who are used to driving in geographies different from North America (i.e. where driving is on the other side of the road). Cheers!

Peun Napier 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald from Learner’s Academy is one of the best driving instructors I’ve had, and I’ve had a lot of driving instructors. He’s patient and knowledgeable and taught me all the necessary skills to be a safe driver and pass my G test! I would highly recommend Ronald for anyone looking to brush up on their driving skills or preparing to take a road test.

Alex Tolson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I booked a G road test vehicle and refresher lesson with Carlos at Learner's Academy in May of 2022. The vehicle was in good condition and we got to the testing center on time. His lessons were friendly, professional and filled with helpful hints on what MTO would be looking for in their road test. Also noted and corrected a few bad driving habits I picked up over the years. I would happily recommend him as a driving instructor.

Ryan Borges 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Carlos was an amazing instructor. He was patient and offered great advice. Passed my G2 test on the first try after a few lessons with him. Would 100% recommend him and the crew here at Learner's Academy! Thanks guys.

Ryan Orange 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald has been a pleasure to work with. Communication with him was extremely easy and he was very flexible with our appointments. He was very knowledgeable and approached teaching in a way that would help me for not only the test but to also stay safe on the road after.

Raihan Chowdhury 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend!! Ronald is excellent instructor who not only helped me get my license but also taught me to keep my nerves calm and drive with confidence (esp for the test , if your are an anxious one). He is also very professional and patient, shares tons on tools (Videos, manuals, tips and tricks) that really helps you master it!

Sonya Serafin 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald is a fantastic driving instructor who teaches you the skills required to pass your test, and how to drive defensively in Toronto. Really liked that he used videos and illustrations to help aid in the learning process. I feel more confident and comfortable behind the wheel. Thanks, Ronald!!

Sophie Kerenidis 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cannot say enough about Learner’s Academy! I got both my G2 and G with this driving school, so you know it works! Ronald is an amazing instructor who teaches you everything you need to know about defensive driving. My confidence has tripled since taking lessons with him. He’s also super chill and easy to talk to. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience here - don’t look anywhere else!

Zuzana B 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I just passed my G road test yesterday! If not Albert, I would not be that confident behind the wheel. I have not met a better instructor than Albert. He is very knowledgeable and the best teacher who knows how to prepare you not only for the exam but mainly for a live traffic and how to stay safe on the roads. Many many thank to Albert for all his hard work with a constant smile on his face and very understanding and calm demeanor!!!

Giovanna H 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: 100% recommended! I needed a car for my G2 test and some extra prep before the exam, to get rid of some bad habits that I had acquired during years of international driving. Ronald is a real professional, calm, patient and great at explaining things over and over again. But he’s also strict and will catch every little mistake, which is good because you’ll get to the exam well prepared. Also the communication was good and fast. Ronald reached out to me quickly after I had contacted him through the website to set up my lessons for the test day. Will for sure come back for a couple hours of practice before getting my G license!!

Leila Bai 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is THE place if you want to become a confident and safe driver. Ronald is a patient instructor with great teaching skills. You get to practice Downtown Toronto too, which is extremely valuable since there's definitely more nuance to it than driving outside the downtown core. My husband and I both took G2 prep lessons with Ronald and passed from the first try. Highly recommend.

Sofya dos Reis 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful that I found this driving school. I enjoyed every single lesson with my teacher Ronald. I loved his modern approach, he is definitely a professional. I went to a different driving school few years ago and let me tell you what a huge difference. When I started having lessons with Ronald I realized how much information I was missing before! Long story short, I passed my G2. Thank you so much Ronald for being so meticulous about every detail during our lessons. I certainly recommend this school!

Manny Simbahan 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald is one of the coolest driving instructors that you will ever meet in Toronto. I've had years of international experience before, but he was quick to point out the differences in the standards in Ontario. He gave easy to understand and practical instructions, as well as real world senarios not taught in books or online, that helped me quickly cope with Toronto driving and curb my bad habits, within a short time. I was able to get my G licence straight from G1 in one take. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Excellent driving school. Albert and Ronald taught me how to be a good driver to pass my G2 and G road test. They are both very professional and knowledgeable. I strongly recommend Learner’s Academy Driving School.

K Wyn 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was impressed from the first contact with this driving school. I had my G test coming up in a week and wanted some lessons. I spoke with Albert who, although my test was very close, went out of his way to accommodate me in getting enough lessons in preparation for my test. His help didn't seemed strained or "money hungry" either. Albert put me on to Carlos. Carlos! What can I say? He was amazing! He pointed out road safety tips that you tend to forget after driving for many years. He was meticulous and genuinely invested in me passing. He was very patient and professional. I believe he would be just the same with an absolute beginner as well as I felt almost like one at one point! I would recommend this driving school to anyone interested in having lessons. Carlos is a great teacher who prepares you for all the eventualities of the road. I passed my G test on the first go and I credit Carlos for playing a huge role in this.

James B 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Learner's Academy Driving School is amazing! After a few classes with Carlos as my instructor, I passed my G test on the first try. Carlos is amazing with great teaching techniques. Not only was he a wonderful teacher but has also become a great friend! Will be referring my friends and family to him in the future!

Nicki Ghorbani 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: All my experience went back to 5 years ago when I was driving for G2 and had no confidence to drive because of lack of driving experience. I searched for a professional instructor and found Learner's Academy Driving School by reading Google reviews. Ronald is a professional and patient instructor with excellent communication skills. He explained many times a lesson and taught me driving rules with images and videos. He knows how to monitor his students and review their mistakes with a solution. I appreciate his valuable help in getting my G license and teaching me how to drive safely and overcome my stress when I am driving. I strongly recommend Ronald for ones who are looking for an excellent car driving tutor.

Meichen Waxer 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ronald was honestly the best driving teacher I've ever had. With two former teachers in another province, Ronald actually made driving feel comfortable, safe and proactive. He broke down things I didn't understand very simply, and they are now my strengths in driving. I passed my G2 in my first attempt because he helped me really be prepared. When it's time for my G test, he is the only teacher I will return to. :)

Shashank Taneja 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is certainly the best driving school in Toronto. Ronald taught me how to drive well while being cautious and confident. He also answered all my questions with examples and illustrations. Driving in downtown Toronto is quite hard but Ronald taught me how to drive safely in the area. One of the best thing was communication, Ronald promptly replied to my texts. I did not expect him to take calls as I understood they’d be teaching others during the day. I highly recommend this school for their reliability!
