Fantastic experience: I don’t usually give reviews, but I have to write about how amazing this experience has been. When I reached out to Ritchie, I had VERY high anxiety when it comes to driving, and I was lacking so many skills (despite getting my N license after moving from another province). I thought that I will never get there or be able to drive. I reached out to this school not knowing that it will change that for me. Ritchie was incredibly patient, nurturing, and has taught me some extremely valuable advice and tips to make me a confident driver. He helped me practice all the skills that I was insecure about and did not mind repeating his explanations until I felt like I had everything I needed. I have had driving classes and nothing compares to how positive this experience has been. Top notch, thank you for everything!!!

Fantastic experience: I stopped driving for 10 years due to moving around different countries. Driving used to stress me out too, cause I never properly learned how to drive when I was young. So as you can imagine I was quiet rusty and wasn’t familiar with driving in Canada. First I took 5 classes but failed the exam due to being too nervous and then after 2 more classes with Ritchie I passed 2nd time. My instructor had a great personality, didn’t pressure or stress me out, I felt safe, calm and comfortable. Always on time and I learned a lot and could feel improvement with each class. Driving used to stress me out but I realized I just didn’t have good driving fundamentals before, but now I’m looking forward to drive. Thanks Ritchie!

Fantastic experience: Ritchie is one of the best teachers I have met in my life. He was patient and understanding and was quick to point out any mistakes I made.

And he was absolutely right!! I am lucky that I had him as my instructor and I am so happy that I passed the Class 5 test today morning!
