Aapex Driving Academy: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I just wanted to say I had a great experience with Jeddi. I had not driven in years but he helped me regain the confidence to get behind the wheel and he made the experience enjoyable. Also I passed on the first try! Thanks Aapex!
Fantastic experience: I started out with this one driver nice guy (I can’t remember his name) but over most of my lessons it seemed that he wasn’t really teaching me anything so I switched instructors and got Marleen, sweetest person ever and she got me all caught up in what i needed to know to pass my G2 test, which I now have. She was very comfortable and relaxed with me in the car and wasn’t harsh at all.
Fantastic experience: Jeddi is the best, he helped me so much preparing for the test and I passed it first try!
Fantastic experience: Greyson here, I had a fantastic learning experience with Donna, my driving instructor from the Aapex Driving Academy team in St. Catharines. Donna’s expertise, patience, and clear guidance helped me successfully pass my G2 road test. I highly recommend Donna and Aapex Driving Academy to anyone seeking professional and effective driving lessons. Thank you for such a positive experience!
Fantastic experience: After a lot of searching I landed on AAPEX to take some classes for my g2 test. I went into my classes feeling anxious. I had Donna as a teacher and she was honestly the perfect teacher. She pushed my out of my comfort zone and made sure I got out of my head. But was the right amount of supportive and really helped me with my confidence. I passed with flying colours and I'll forever be grateful for Donna's help. I fully recommend aapex and their teachers
Wow! Thank you for such a wonderful review - we think Donna is incredible and she deserves to hear this. We will be certain to pass this along. Happy Driving :)
Fantastic experience: As a 44 year old woman I was very nervous to get behind the wheel. Doug at aapex was a phenomenal instructor!!! I highly recommend him! He is such a straight forward guy who doesn't sugar coat anything. Just a great guy with a great personality. Thank you Doug for giving me the confidence! Passed my g2 with no problems!!
LOVE, LOVE this review! We think DOUG is the bomb! It hits different when the instructors hear this from you and not just the boss. So thank you. Happy Driving :)
Fantastic experience: I used Apex driving school for my G test and it was an amazing experience. I had Marlene as an instructor and she was so knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging throughout the whole process. I passed my test on my first try and felt very prepared. Overall fabulous experience!
Love that word FABULOUS… that is Marlene… she is one of a kind and we are so proud to see this review. We appreciate you taking the time for this shout out! Happy Driving:)
Fantastic experience: Today, I received my G2. Jeddi provided exceptional assistance, guiding me through the driving process and demonstrating remarkable patience. Previously, I experienced apprehension whenever I encountered busy roads. Jeddi advised me to relax and not be overly anxious, assuring me that I would master the skill. His words proved to be true, as I successfully navigated the challenging road conditions.Thanks, AAPEX and Jeddi.
What a wonderful review!!! Thank you so much for taking the time. We will be sure to let Jeddi know. He makes us proud everyday. Happy Driving:)
Fantastic experience: Today I passed my G2, because of a special person. Michael is one of a kind, from my first 2 hour session, to my prep 1 hour before the test today. He believed in me when nobody else did. My goodness this man deserves a raise, and a standing novation, as it takes patience and skill to do what he can do. I hope this message finds him well :) Thank you to Appex, I will be in touch in one year or so to book my Final Road Test :)
Wow! What a great review! Thank you so very much Jessica for the shoutout ... we think Michael is amazing and I'm proud to have him on our team. Stay safe and Happy Driving:)
Fantastic experience: Jeddi my appex driver was great for helping prepare me for getting my G2 and helping with everything so happy I passed today
Yay!!! Jeddi is incredible - especially with G2 drivers as he has a way of explaining and motivating our students. We appreciate your feedback and I will pass this along to him so he can be proud. Happy Driving!
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with Aapex. My instructor, Doug, was an amazing guy, said everything as it was without sugar coating it and being honest in what I should and need to do to improve and he helped me a lot. Thank you everybody at Aapex I had an amazing time!
Thank you Tyrell - what you do also makes a difference. Aapex is very fortunate to have Doug on our team! We appreciate your feedback and I will be sure to pass this along to him. Happy Driving!
Fantastic experience: 5 stars I had zero complaints at first I had Tammy as my instructor, she was so patient with me driving 12 km an hour around my neighborhood for my first lesson but then got me driving confidently 50km an hour for my 2nd lesson. Then Aapex recommended that I go to a different instructor that would better suit my needs as I have CP (Cerebral Palsy). That's when I went in to the medical stream and met Melissa. Even when I met Melissa I was still nervous to press the gas. Melissa Like Tammy was so patient figuring out what additional equipment I needed to safely drive it took a couple of months. I needed a tri-pin and a steering knob attached to my steering wheel. Melissa got the job done and i passed my G2 test yesterday. A Big thanks goes out to Tammy and Melissa with out you guys my mom would still be scared to drive with me. Highly recommend!!
Thank you Alanah, Teamwork makes the Dream work, I am so happy to hear that both instructors were able to work together. Giving you the confidence to do the hard work that got you were you are today. Well done! Happy Driving :)
Fantastic experience: I signed up for driving lessons with AAPEX as soon as I passed my written test. They came recommended to me by my daycare provider and I can see why. If you're learning how to drive this is the place to go. They really prepare you by for being a safe driver and developing that skill. I had Heidi and truly if you get her as your in-car instructor you'll be so happy and lucky. Heidi is an amazing instructor, she's kind and gives give advice and critique, she will always find a way to explain what to do in a way you that works for you all while being your biggest cheerleader. I can't thank her enough for her patience and guidance.
Thank you Cat! We appreciate your kind words and support! Heidi is truly a gem and we're happy to have her on our team - Safe driving :)
Fantastic experience: I was extremely nervous to drive and Michael did a great job of calming my nerves and giving me the confidence I needed to be able to drive. Thanks to Michael I was able to pass my road test on the first try and now feel confident to drive!
We're so happy to hear Natalie! We think that Michael is exceptional and we are very happy to have him :) Congrats on passing your road test!
Fantastic experience: I recommend Apex Driving Academy to any new drivers. For the in-car lessons, Michael was a fantastic instructor for both my teens. My teens said he was a very calm and patient instructor. He communicated very clearly, was friendly and easy-going. My teens felt confident going into their road tests and felt Michael contributed greatly. They both passed!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that Michael made your teens feel at ease and confident in taking this new exciting step! Congrats to them both for getting their G2 and safe driving!
Fantastic experience: I was super nervous when it came time to prepare for my G Road Test. Thankfully I had one of the best instructors. Micheal helped calm my nerves and fully prepare me to pass my test. Through his guidance I felt very confident in taking my test. Truly the best Aapex experiences I have ever had.
Hailey, your review means a lot to us! We're so glad to hear that your lessons with Michael were so impactful in helping you pass your G road test. Your feedback motivates us to keep exceeding expectations! Safe driving :)
Fantastic experience: Great program! My instructor, Donna, was so amazing and helped me get over my nerves and learn a number of important skills for driving. I ended up passing my G2 on my first try!
Hello Jai, Driving can definitely be nerve-racking and we're so glad Donna was able help you gain the confidence in your skills and pass your test!
Negative experience: Please note if I could give 0 stars I most definitely would. I was excited to get my daughter a few lessons with Aapex as They were highly recommended to us. I signed up after speaking with someone online who was very pleasant. I received a date that worked for us so the lesson was booked. I received a call to see if I would reschedule that date and time so I agreed and another day was scheduled. I later received a message on the Wednesday from Tammy who would be the instructor (2 days before the lesson) to see if I could reschedule for the day before. Mind you I am still not sure if the message was intended for us as it was addressed to’Myles’. I did not respond to this message as I had stressed before we were not available the day we were being asked to come in. I received a follow up message stating that not to worry about the request as the time was filled. On Thursday I received a call from Tammy basically yelling in the phone that she just wanted to confirm that we were doing the lesson the next day as “no one answered her message or called her back “. I tried to explain to her I didn’t think it was necessary to reply as 1) I specifically said we were not available on the day she had suggested and ,2 ) she had messaged back to say not to worry because she had the time filled. She continued to just be ignorant and quite rude. The morning of the appointment I pulled in the parking lot I was directed to go so my daughter could start her lesson. We were there approximately 15 minutes early. Eventually I saw a car with the Aapex signage on it. I approached in a very polite way to introduce myself and my daughter to make sure she was going in the correct vehicle. Well the rage I met from this lady was unbelievable. She was so nasty I eventually asked her if my child was going to be safe in the car with her. Otherwise I’m happy to leave. She appeared a bit calmer so the lesson was done. I went to the office and was explaining to the staff there what I had endured. The staff stated they were not surprised as Tammy has an attitude towards the staff as well and that there are many complaints about her. I was then directed to call Ami, who I believe to be a supervisor. I didn’t think it could’ve gotten any worse. She made it seem as though I should not be complying about the situation and even stated it was ‘out of character for Tammy’. I guess her other staff got it wrong. Ami told me she would call me on Monday as she would investigate and get back to me (I spoke with her on Friday). Waited all day Monday and no return call. I called back the office this morning ( Tuesday) and was informed that Ami had detailed documentation that she had spoken to me on Monday. I tried to explain I did not receive any calls so therefore I’m not sure who she called. Person on the phone began to make excuses trying to explain how busy Mondays are. In the meantime I realized I had an email from Monday with account details with password ( that we apparently requested, which we had never requested at any point nor was it given to us prior to, as well an appointment was rescheduled for a day we were not available. I went in the St. Catharines office and was once again trying to cancel the appointment ( that up until then I had no idea when it was scheduled for) and was met once again with the utmost arrogance by Stephanie. I was so frustrated that I had to ask her if being arrogant was a prerequisite for the job. Everyone from the top down was extremely arrogant ( except for the initial staff I spoke to on the day of the 1st lesson ). My daughter was extremely excited to get on the road and get a chance to book her G2 and we just wanted to make sure she was ready to do so. If this is the way you treat customers that are new, it’s truly sad. I have cancelled my appointment and unfortunately would never use this service again. Up until this point I’m yet to get an apology , not that it really matters at this point. This entire experience made me realize Tammy is not the problem. It seems this company has much bigger issues.
We understand there seems to have been some miscommunication in the beginning, which may have led to some frustration, escalating into an unnecessary larger issue. We attempted to reach out to offer a solution but unfortunately, we were unable to come to a resolution. We apologize for failing to meet your expectations and we wish you success with your future driving endeavors.
Fantastic experience: I would recommend aapex to any young driver. I had an absolutely wonderful experience with my driving instructor, Jeddi. He was incredibly thorough and clear when teaching, and he shared so many helpful tips snd tricks that made everything easy to remember for the G2 test. I never left a lesson confused, and as someone who can take a little bit to catch on to thing's he was extremely patient when giving extra instructions. After my second lesson with him, I felt really confident in my abilities. His kindness and reassurance truly made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. I’m definitely coming back in a year to prepare for my full G!
Thank you Alexandria! We agree, Jeddi really is amazing at what he does and we're so happy you enjoyed your time with us, see you when you're ready for your G! :)

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much Aapex Driving Academy, most especially to Jeddi (the assigned driving instructor for me, one of the greatest). I most definitely recommend this driving school for everyone, especially for those people who has high anxiety in driving or for those who are overthinkers. Jeddi is a very calm and very effective instructor. He is very professional and i couldnt ask for more. He really is very knowledgeable as an instructor, he thought me nothing but the most important things to pass the full G. Thank you Aapex, and of course, thank you Jeddi, YOU ARE THE BEST!
Jones... your review is GREAT! Thank you so much for taking the time to show Jeddi (and the Aapex team) that what they do matters. We appreciate your kind words and hopefully it will help someone who is nervous to start and this will encourage someone else to start their journey to independence. Take Care! Happy Driving!

Fantastic experience: I’m glad I chose Aapex Driving Academy for obtaining my g2 license. Special mention to my driving instructor Heidi U. She’s a rockstar! She’s very knowledgeable very informative and she will make sure that you get her instructions either by drawing it to your workbook and explain it while your parked or by instructing it while your driving. All in all she made sure that I’m ready to take the driving exam and to drive confidently on my own. That’s how awesome she is! Got my G2 license the first try! Thank you again Aapex and Heidi

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience doing driving lessons with my instructor, Jeddi. He was very thorough and clear in the way he taught the driving laws and provided lots of helpful tips to make it easy to remember for the G2 test. After a couple of lessons with him, I was very confident in my abilities to complete the test and so was he! His compassion and reassurance helped me feel comfortable in the drivers seat. I would definitely recommend this driving school to new drivers, especially students in university or high school. I will for sure be coming back in a years time to practice for my full G :)

When my son’s driver’s exam was late, and our car died, they walked us through a boost and shared safety advice with my son during the process. They checked in to make sure we were ok. They are truly kind people who want safety and driving success for all. Thank you Amy and Michael!

We're so happy you enjoyed your experience with us Sierra! Thank you for choosing AAPEX and we'll see you when it's time for your G road test :)
Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience with Marlene at AAPEX. She was so diligent, knowledgeable, and patient, and totally covered all the basics/beyond (things that other instructors elsewhere had failed to mention and that would have cost me a pass on the road test). Thanks to Marlene, I passed my G2 road test with flying colours. Highly recommend!
Thank you Amy! Marlene really is a gem and we are glad to have her! Congrats on your G2 - see you when it's time for your G :)

Fantastic experience: What a great day. I just got my full G license in my first attempt. Thanks to Jeddi, my instructor at Aapex, who did an excellent job in explaining the rules and regulations. And most importantly, he works with his students to remain calm and drive with confidence and carefully.
Awesome News! Congratulations! Thank you for choosing AAPEX and safe driving :)

Thank you MacKenzie! We agree - Mark and Heidi are both excellent - we're so happy to hear you enjoyed your experience :)
Fantastic experience: UPDATE: I just finished my last highway lessons with Michael as my instructor. I can proudly say that with his instruction, help, and encouragement, I am now a confident, fully licenced G class driver. Last year, when preparing for my G2 (also with Michael) I couldn't imagine being behind the wheel, let alone drive on the highway on my own! Although, I took my G test (and passed! YAY!) before finishing my lessons, I decided to finish off the last of my lessons as the instruction I received from Michael were very valuable, whether it is preparing for my road test(s) or for everyday driving. Thank you so much Michael and thank you AAPEX driving academy for turning a very nervous learner/beginner driver to a now confident fully licenced G class driver. I had Michael as my instructor. He understood my anxiety and attitude towards driving and helped me develop confidence in myself in preparation for the road test. I highly recommend him as an instructor for his expertise, on-going encouragement, and positivity. Thanks again Michael!
Thank you for the kind words Arnold -we will make sure Mike gets the feedback! We aim to teach drivers the confidence they need for driving so we're super happy to hear - safe driving :)
Fantastic experience: I had my g2 prep with Donna, and with her guidance I passed on my first try. She was a great driving instructor
Thank you Hayley, we agree - Donna is awesome! Congrats on your G2 and we look forward to helping you with your G licence!
Fantastic experience: Jeddi was an amazingly helpful instructor who was very calm and professional. He eased me into the whole test process and taught me some really useful tips on how to ace this test. I’d recommend AAPEX any given day.
Thank you so much for giving us this wonderful review. Jeddi works very hard and I know will appreciate your comments. Happy Driving!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience in aapex. Jeddi was an amazing mentor: he taught me in a calm, patient manner, and made me comfortable and confident in my driving skills. Thanks to him, I passed the G2 drive test easily. I would totally recommend aapex, and look for Jeddi, because you’ll definitely be in goods hands. 10/10
Thank you so much for your kind review. Jeddi is such a hard worker and I know will appreciate you.
Fantastic experience: I can't thank my driving instructor Donna enough! She is absolutely fantastic! Before I started my lessons, I was incredibly nervous and anxious about driving. However, with her guidance, patience, and encouragement, I not only overcame my fears but also successfully passed my G2 exam on my first attempt. She has an incredible way of teaching that puts you at ease and builds your confidence. Her clear explanations, constructive feedback, and unwavering support made every lesson enjoyable and productive. I always looked forward to our sessions. I highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for an exceptional driving instructor. She's not just a great teacher but also a wonderful person. Thank you so much for helping me achieve this milestone in my life!
We think that Donna is top shelf for sure!! She really puts a lot into every lesson and its nice to see that it is appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. Happy Driving!
Fantastic experience: I had a great and funny time with Simon! Learned a lot and he had a great teaching style to keep me engaged and to have fun at the same time!
Thank you Kaden! And we agree, Simon is awesome! Congrats on your G2 :)
Fantastic experience: I would like to commend everyone involved with aapex. I had an amazing in class instructor (Mark) who delivered the information like a true professional, and I had probably the best driving instructor at aapex (Michael) who was full of useful tips and tricks that made me feel ready for my test and for the open road. I'd especially like to thank Michael for making sure I was well informed about the licensing process. He was very knowledgeable and comfortable to be around. Good job all around
Thank you for the amazing review! We're so happy you had an amazing experience - we thrive to provide our students with the highest level quality, safe driving :)
Fantastic experience: I had the benefit of Marlene's experience and expertise during my driving practices and finished fully prepared!! Thanks Marlene, We did it!! Liz M
Thank you Liz! We'll make sure to pass on the kind words, safe driving :)
Fantastic experience: I recently finished my lessons with Michael as an instructor and was able to pass my road test without issue. Great experience, would definitely recommend if you're nervous to begin driving.
Congrats on your Licence! Make sure to check us out when it's time for your G road test :)
Fantastic experience: Absolute 10/10 goes out to both the AAPEX academy, and my instructor Michael. If you are lucky enough to get him as your instructor I say with certainty that you will have no issue passing come your test. Driving with him has really helped me boost my confidence behind the wheel, and I have learned so much that I didn’t know before. That reinforced with respect, and encouragement has helped form me into a confident, safe driver. If you lack confidence behind the wheel, or would just like to learn more about the rules of the road before you go out there and get your G2, then I highly recommend considering trying AAPEX driving academy.

Fantastic experience: Marleen was a great instructor. I was very comfortable from the very beginning. She was knowledgeable and easy to learn from. I had been driving with my G2 for the last 4 yrs, and had picked up some bad habits on the road over those yrs. Marleen corrected any bad behaviors I had and got me fully prepared for my G test. I couldn’t have passed it without her.
Congrats on your G licence! We're so happy Marlene was able to help correct some of your bad habits! Safe driving :)
Fantastic experience: Simon was awesome! He helped me pass my aapex test with an 88! I appreciate it a lot and Hope i get my g2!!!
We agree - Simon is pretty awesome! Thank you for choosing AAPEX :)
Fantastic experience: Great way to prep for and guarantee a G2 pass. I had Heidi as my in car teacher and she was amazing with teaching me road rules and how to drive safely and legally
Thank you Giacomo! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us :)
Fantastic experience: Jaideep was very nice and informative, I felt comfortable and welcomed in his car. I was very nervous being so inexperienced, and he reassured me and tough me everything I needed to know to pass my G2. He was a very good instructor.
We're so happy to hear Frankie! Thank you for choosing AAPEX!
Fantastic experience: Another beautiful experience in St Catharines. Everybody at this school is very kind and attentive!! The receptionist and the in-person instructors are both top of the line! I was very afraid of driving and I couldn't have a better instructor than Jeddy, so patient and always going the extra mile for me to feel confident and safe on the road. Highly recommend this school and this instructor in particular to whoever wants to learn in a smooth and secure way
Thank you for the kind words Joanna! We're so happy we were able to assist you every step of the way, thank you for choosing AAPEX and we wish you the best! :)
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with my driving instructor Marlene! She made me feel so comfortable and definitely eased my nerves when it came to driving.
Thank you for the kind words! Marlene really is a gem and we're happy to have her on our team :)
Fantastic experience: I just passed the test on my first try, my driving instructor Jeddi was of so much help to me. I had 10 lessons with him and he was so patient, helpful and all round such a great teacher. You would be very lucky to have him as a teacher. Great experience!!
Congrats Emmanuel! We thrive to provide quality driving instruction and we're happy to hear you had a great experience - safe driving :)
Fantastic experience: I just want to thank Lori @ the St. Catharines location for her help. She went above and beyond and was extremely helpful setting up my daughter's G2 testing. I also want to give a shout out to her amazing driving instructor Tammy. I highly recommend aapex to any new drivers out there. Well worth the money for this program! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you Victoria! Lori really is an amazing rep here at AAPEX with a kind heart and helpful hand willing to help all our students! Tammy is amazing as well and we're so happy your daughter enjoyed her time with us :)
Fantastic experience: Jeddi was a perfect instructor, he showed all the tricks to make parallel parking, 3 point turns, backing in a spot and normal parking easier. Jeddi was understanding, patient and just nice overall. I would definitely recommend appex driving school and Jeddi.
Thank you Amira! We're so happy you had a great time with us - Safe driving :)
Fantastic experience: Took the G2 prep with Jai Deep and I passed on the first try! He was very helpful & make me feel confident for the rest
Congrats on your G2 Olivia! We look forward to seeing you when it's time for your G road test!
Fantastic experience: I had the privilege of having Donna as my instructor for my G test preparation. Donna is very informative and knowledgeable. Her support and patience eased my nerves before my test. I would recommend Donna to any student at Appex for their G2 or G preparation. Because of her expertise, I was able to pass my G with confidence.
Thank you Stephanie! We agree - Donna is amazing and really provides all her students with the knowledge and experience they need! Safe driving :)

Fantastic experience: I had Jaideep as my drive lesson instructor. He explained everything that I needed to know and do perfectly. He told me my mistakes and we worked on them together. Today I did my G test and passed. I highly recommend him!
Congrats on your G licence, safe driving :)
Fantastic experience: Jaideep taught me everything I know about driving. Before him, I never stepped foot in the driver’s seat before, now I passed my road test on the first try.
Thank you for your amazing review. Must have gotten lost in cyberspace as it just come on my screen Lol
Negative experience: I contacted Aapex Driving Academy two months before my sons G test to schedule a number of lessons and their car for the G test. The lessons were set for one a week for the month leading up to the test, 4 lessons and one before the test. The first lesson went off without a hitch, the second was rescheduled at the last minute and the forth was canceled at the last minute. Following the last cancelation the manager called to reschedule the missed lesson. I voiced my concern about their reliability and they assured me the future lessons and the test would be fine. Then a week before my sons test they called to say they were down an instructor and were not going to be able to do the lessons or the test. They were unwilling to move any other staff and wanted to refund the cost of the lessons missed. I find this very poor customer service and would not recommend them.
I'm sorry that it had to come to this, but as explained to you on the phone we had an instructor in the hospital. The vile and aggressive language that you used with my scheduler and my manager was not only offensive but aggressive and I felt it was best to remove my team from a situation where they are being disrespected. They were clearly shaken by the interactions they had with you and the messages left by your son. I have deemed this to be an unworkable situation and chose to put the safety of my team first. Especially after a threat was made by you to come down to our office. We offered the refund so that you may take your business elsewhere. We do our best of offer exceptional customer service but sometimes the best solution is to walk away. I'm truly sorry that we were not able to come to better solution but I stand by my decision despite the bad review I knew was coming.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Aapex driving Academy. Cleared my G2 test with instructor Jeddi . He was very patient, eased my nerves and helped me prepare well for the test. Very good experience. Highly recommend Jeddi, especially for beginner drivers.
Wow! Great review. Must have gotten lost in cyberspace as it just came on my screen … sorry for the late response. Happy Driving:)
Fantastic experience: I’m an international student and I did my G2 lessons with Jeddi. I am happy to say that I have passed my G2 examination! Aapex have been very helpful, and I would personally recommend Jeddi to any incoming students as he was very nice and helpful whenever I was struggling with my driving.
Hi!!! Funny this review is from a year ago but just popped up on my screen …. Lol. Great news is Jeddi is still our superstar and we are so proud of him Thanks for your review Happy Driving:)
Fantastic experience: I booked a G2 prep course with Apex and got Paul as my instructor. I definitely would not have passed that test, if it weren't for him. He was calm, patient, and knowledgeable...and he gave me the confidence and helped improved my skill to be able to pass my G2 exam on the first try. Thank you very much for your help Paul!!!
Paul is AMAZING!!! Sorry this review was lost in cyberspace… but great news is Paul is still going strong and we are so incredibly proud of him. Thanks again, Happy Driving:)
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of learning to drive with Aapex, and I must say it was an incredible experience. From start to finish, they demonstrated professionalism, patience, and a deep commitment to ensuring my success on the road. My driving instructor Jeddi Hasmatullah was highly knowledgeable, experienced, and had a remarkable ability to communicate complex concepts in a clear and concise manner. Their calm demeanor and positive attitude helped alleviate any nervousness I had, making each lesson enjoyable and stress-free. They tailored the lessons to my individual needs, focusing on areas where I needed improvement while reinforcing my strengths. Thanks to the exceptional instruction I received, I gained the necessary skills and confidence to pass my driving test with flying colors. I wholeheartedly recommend this driving instructor Jeddi and Aapex school to anyone seeking a top-notch driving education. They are undoubtedly the best in the business!
Wow! What an incredible review! Sorry it must have gotten lost in cyberspace as it just popped up on my screen so my apologies. Great news is Jeddi is still making us proud everyday. Happy Driving :)
Fantastic experience: I have just passed my G2 driver’s Test. My instructor was JAIDEEP. He’s so professional, awesome , wonderful and very encouraging. I was so nervous and he encouraged me that I was going to ace the test and Yes we did it on our first attempt. He knows the road rules and regulations very well. He explained everything to me in layman terms, and it was so easy to remember everything. Thank you Aapex for giving me a wonderful instructor! #JAAIDEEP
Yay!! Great to hear. Wishing you safety this year. Sorry your review must have been lost in cyberspace. Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time. Happy Driving:)
Fantastic experience: I absolutely loved this school! My driving instructor Jeddi was great! So was my in class instructor Doug. Jeddi is a very patient and helpful instructor. I recommend Jeddi as an instructor! He was a pleasure and very friendly, definitely a great experience! Thank you so much!
Wow! Jeddi and Doug is an amazing combination! They are both incredible at their craft. I appreciate you taking the time to write the review, it must have gotten lost in cyberspace as we received it today. Sorry. Happy Driving:)
Fantastic experience: I took the online delivery package and was very impressed from the beginning with the detailed teaching videos, lectures and interactive situational videos. I never had any problem with the system. I began my in car training on May 26th and had the best driving instructor I could've asked for, Jeddi. Previously I had only been in a car about 4 or 5 times and had never been on the main road, never been to intersections, etc. He taught me to go out of my comfort zone and helped me get over my driving anxiety. The whole time Jeddi was very patient, clear to understand , honest and also funny! I felt as if he really cared about my success and wanted to help anyway he could. I would recommend Jeddi to anyone! AAPEX customer service is wonderful and I never had any problems with the company. Thank you to AAPEX and especially to Jeddi for his support and great teaching.
What a wonderful review! Thank you so much for taking the time. Unfortunately it must have been lost in cyberspace as we just received it today. Great news is Jeddi is still here making us proud EVERYDAY! Happy Driving:)
Fantastic experience: I had Jaideep as my driving instructor. I had a really good experience, as he corrected all my mistakes and ensured I was well prepared for my G exam. I was able to pass my G exam. I highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Aapex is a great driving school! My in car instructor Jeddi was very patient and taught me everything I needed to know. I had no experience prior but with his help I was able to pass my G2 on my first try! During lessons he was very assuring and gave great instructions. If you can book with Jeddi make sure you do!
Fantastic experience: I recently had the opportunity to take lessons with Michael. Michael was a great instructor. Who is always there to help me when I needed assistance and make me feel safe in the car. I recommend Michael for every student who wants to take lessons. He will ensure that you are ready for your road test.
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing time learning how to drive with Aapex. each class was super informative, and had actually some fun learning activities too. the driving portion was even better than the in class although. My instructor was Jeddi and he was awesome. super friendly and helpful, let me know how i can improve and helped boost my confidence as a driver. I would %1000000 recommend going to Aapex driving school and would do it again if I had to.
Fantastic experience: Donna, you are one of the best instructors I have ever met. You are very professional and very supportive. I went for my G Road Test today with so much confidence and it was a success because you brought all the required tools to the table and showed me how to use them. You are AMAZING! Thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: Jeddi was my instructor and was very patient and clear in his direction. I had never driven before taking the driver’s ed course and I was able to pass my G2 on my second attempt within a month after my first.
Fantastic experience: Jeddi was my instructor for my G test and I passed no problem. Thanks Jeddi!
Fantastic experience: I recently had the privilege of being taught by Donna and I must say, she is an incredible driving instructor. Thanks to her guidance and expertise, I passed my driving test with flying colors, feeling confident and well-prepared behind the wheel. One of the standout qualities of Donna is her adaptability. She tailored each lesson to my specific needs and skill level, ensuring that I progressed at a comfortable pace. I felt very comfortable with her. If you're searching for a driving instructor who genuinely cares about your success I would highly recommend Donna!
Thank you for taking the time to write such an amazing review, Donna works hard to ensure her students are well prepared for their day to day driving as well as their test. We're so happy you had such a great experience with us :)
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure to have Marlene as my driving instructor. She is very nice and calm and her lessons were the best. I easily passed my driving test.
Negative experience: Horrible! I went on two lessons and none of the two instructors I had found anything wrong and indicated that I was ready for my test. During my test the invigilator said everything was good but I automatically failed when I didnt yeild to a pedestrian that began to cross when I turned out of the exit of the test center. I made one mistake on the drivers test. The instructor, Jerry, then went back to the academy and made up other trumped up innuendos that I was a dangerous driver in an attempt to get me to pay almost another 300 dollars for more lessons. Ive been driving in the US and other places for several years. When I asked, "why did he call me a dangerous driver?" they wouldnt present me with any valid reason other than, "We will always trust our instructors". The pedestrian began crossing when I was turning out of the test center and it caught me off guard and I chose to just slow down on the exit and then leave instead of slamming breaks and waiting. It is still my 1 and only mistake which cause me to fail the test. To try and get me to take more lessons with no reason other than the mistake I made is arbitrary. They dont listen to the customer's side of the story and seek to get you to pay a fortune unnecessarily. Im not paying almost another 300 to total close to 600 dollars to learn what I already know. What I experienced was by definition racketeering! Just dishonest and one-sided.
Fantastic experience: I’m so glad I got the chance to experience Aapex driving academy! DAN RABY was in inclass and incar instructor and honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better person! He is knowledgeable, amicable, and funny! When I thought my nerves were going to get the best of me he calmed me down and reminded me I was ready! Inclass he was funny and personable! He didn’t let class get boring. Being late to the game I felt awkward being in class with children my age but he never made me feel that way he is just the best! Thanks Dan for helping me get my G2 I’ll see ya in a year! Let the shenanigans begin!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience learning how to drive Jeddi! He taught me everything I needed to know for my road test and I passed first try. I hope to have him again for my G license
Thanks Emma! Jeddi really is amazing and we're glad you had a great time with AAPEX - congrats on your g2 and safe driving :)
Fantastic experience: I am an international student here in Canada and Aapex helped me a great deal when it came to getting my G2! My instructor Heidi filled me in on anything I needed to know before getting on Canadian roads and she was absolutely awesome! She is not only a great instructor, but a lovely person overall, and I am very proud to say she is my number 1 reason why I was able to pass my G2! Aapex also offers great prices and deals for both the lessons and the car rental, so I was very pleased with my experience!
Thank you Ma! Heidi really is kind and very informative as well :) We agree she is a great instructor and lovely person - thank you for the review and safe driving!
