Fantastic experience: I contacted Alex for driving lessons, but his schedule was full (which speaks highly of him), so he recommended taking lessons with his collaborator, Donald Fung. Donald is a kind and assertive instructor, patient, and fully in control of the situation (the lessons and my test were in my manual transmission car). He knows how to make you feel confident and learn in the process. If it weren’t for his guidance, I wouldn’t have passed my driving test on the first try! I highly recommend SenSen Driving School and Donald (he’s an excellent instructor). Don’t hesitate to take lessons with them before your test—it’s worth every minute! Thank you, Donald!

Fantastic experience: I just had my ICBC road test today and passed on the first try! I’m officially a Class 5 licence driver. Woot woot ☺️ Big thanks to Daniel, my instructor at Sensen Driving School. He was incredibly knowledgeable and guided me through key points to focus on for the actual test, even though we only had one practice session. I really took his advice to heart, and it made all the difference during my road test. Daniel is not only great at what he does, but he's also super friendly and easy to learn from. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a driving instructor to prepare for their road test here in Vancouver

Fantastic experience: I had my license from another country so I needed to re do my road test in order to be issued a BC license. I was a driver but not a BC driver. On my own- I failed the road test twice. That’s when I decided to hire Alex at SenSen Driving school, he came highly recommended from a friend of mine. he linked me to his time table and I was able to book the days and times that worked for me, weeks in advance. He was a wonderful teacher. Very clear and calmly spoken, encouraging and patient with me. Each lesson we focused on one or two specific things to learn. There was never too much information all at once. He teaches the by-law rules of the road and knows them very well. SenSen driving school helped me develop good legal driving skills and habits. I took 7 lessons with Alex, and when it was time to take my road test I passed on the first try! the lessons gave me the confidence and understanding I needed to be the best driver I could be! Thank you Alex I highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: Had 1 lesson just before my class 5 test with Alex Sham. And I PASSED! He went through every point with detail and answered all my questions. Also answered my all my last minute questions via text after our lesson. I also recommend watching their YouTube before your test. They are very helpful! Thanks Alex Sham!! Thanks SenSen driving school!!

EA 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I took my Class 5 road test at ICBC Point Grey, and Alex was able to take me through the routes that were crucial to my test. He was very clear with his instructions and feedback. He entertained all my questions and passed on information that I utilized. Some of the habits that may not be suitable for the road test were highlighted, and he reiterated key points that made my road test successful on my first attempt. BC is known for its incredibly difficult road tests, and passing them on my first attempt was also made possible by Alex's incredible guidance.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Alex Sham enough! I was so nervous about taking my Class 5 driving test, especially since I booked it last minute. Alex was incredibly understanding and squeezed me in for some much-needed lessons. He's a fantastic instructor - patient, clear, and his sense of humour really helped me relax. Thanks to his guidance and support, I passed my test with flying colours! If you're looking for a driving instructor who will put you at ease and make learning to drive enjoyable, you need to book with him!

Fantastic experience: HUGE thanks to Alex Sham! I just passed my class 7 road test and honestly, I couldn’t have done it without him. Compared to my last instructor (not Alex), Alex was the best instructor plus, he’s so hilarious. during the lessons, he explained everything in a way that actually made so much sense and gave me tips that really helped me not fail. He also pointed out some bad habits and reminded me to stay relaxed while driving. On top of that, he boosted my confidence, so I felt totally ready on test day. Thanks a lot, Alex!!!

Kennis Kam 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Many thanks to Alex for helping me passed the class 5 road test at Point Grey recently! His instructions were clear plus he gave instant feedbacks that helped fix my bad habits. Moreover, by demonstrating straight away how to do the manoeuvres well, I learned how far off I was and could make corrections accordingly. Even though I was a slow learner and kept forgetting, he reminded me with patience and would try different ways to teach me. Last but not least, I used to feel very scared when driving, he taught me how to drive safely so that I could build up confidence and felt more prepared for the test. So a Big THANK YOU to Alex and his SenSen Driving School for not only helping me get a pass, but also for enabling me to drive on the road now daily with greater confidence!

Charles Chen 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Just passed my Class 5 Driving Test thanks to Alex. This was my second attempt, and previously I had used a different driving school teacher. As a result, I went into my lessons with some prior knowledge, but I feel a great deal of certainty when I say that if I had booked lessons with Alex instead of the other instructor, I probably wouldn't have needed two attempts. He's the real deal; not much else to say. He's very knowledgeable and helpful, but also doesn't complicate things too much. He is also very willing to answer questions, even outside of classes.

Crazy Tin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Shout out to Alex Sham! I just got passed my road test for the first time. During my time with Alex, he provided very detailed driving instruction and very useful techniques for passing the exam. He also pointed out some bad habits of my driving since I have been driving for three years in other countries. He also gave me some notes after the lesson so that I can digest the information deeply and thoroughly. Meanwhile, he also helped me build up a lot of confidence in me so that I can pass my class 5 road test in the very first time. Thank you so much Alex! Thank you for your patience, expertise and everything!

Fantastic experience: With very little to no prior experience, big thank you to Alex Sham for helping me get my N on my first try (and within 3 weeks)! Extremely detailed and patient, Alex provided clear instructions and useful tips that made me feel confident and well-prepared for the test. Moving onwards, I'll be feeling more comfortable on the road with the expertise given to me. Would definitely recommend this instructor to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Quick and easy to set-up ! I got paired up with Alex Sham who was not only very knowledgable but also very patient with me during the process. I have been driving for a long time, however, I developed some bad habits prior to doing my Class 5 which Alex helped me correct. He instilled the confidence in me from the get go which helped me get my Class 5 in the very first try. Thanks a bunch Alex ! Thank you for all your help through this process.

Minke Whalinton 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: He is firm but fair; his feedback, especially during mocks when you mess up, can cut deep. However, I am truly grateful for this because his thorough preparation made the actual test a walk in the park. Initially, I was nervous and scared about the possibility of having to retake the test, but I passed on the first try. If I could go back to the moment I chose a driving instructor, I would make the same decision without hesitation.

Kristoffer Biagtan (KB_32) 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Sham-wow! During my time with Alex Sham, he provided excellent driving instruction and was able to explain driving techniques and road rules in an understandable and detailed manner -- with good humour as well. Even more key to his instruction is that he has a great read on his students and expertly managed my nervousness behind the wheel under testing/instruction settings. Thank you Alex Sham and SenSen Driving School for such a great experience. Without Alex's instruction, my Class 5 road test wouldn't have gone smoother than it did and I wouldn't have passed with flying colours! Can't recommend Alex Sham and SenSen Driving School enough for Class 7 and Class 5 road test preparation!

Ananya 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I booked my Class 5 road test at Point Grey and started looking for instructors just a few days before the exam. Fortunately, I was able to find Alex Sham, and it turned out to be a stroke of luck. Despite the time crunch, he accommodated my request for 2 lessons and provided me with invaluable guidance in a short span of time. He gave me what felt like a crash course in driving proficiency, ensuring we covered all the essential aspects and even took me to the trickiest parts of the road during our practice sessions. After each lesson, he put in extra time to thoroughly assess my skills, meticulously scoring each maneuver to identify any weaknesses. Because of this I was able to pass my Class 5 road test. I am incredibly grateful to Alex for his expertise, patience, and support.

Fantastic experience: I wish to thank Alex for making it possible for me to get my class 5 driving license. I came to Alex after few failed attempts of road tests, totally stressed plus almost given up. Alex managed to make me pass! He is an amazing teacher and if someone can make you pass the driving road test , it's him!. Thank you Alex! Wishing you all the best!

Poppy Lam 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Alex is such an awesome instructor! He is knowledgable, organized, and suspiciously good at predicting the tendencies of drivers...He made it efficient and easy for me to learn all of the driving tools I needed even though I was initially super daunted by even the thought of driving. (Seriously.) It was productive, but also so much fun learning with Alex, plus his SenSen youtube videos were also really helpful. I was able to pass my N test on the first try! 10 out of 10, drive SenSen

C Marie 1 year ago

Negative experience: Qualities of instructor: -Condescending -Lacked patience -Rude -Made me feel like I was stupid -Zero understanding of neurodivergence and it showed in his teaching method. -Asks rhetorical questions when you make mistakes so you feel like an idiot If you are neurotypical and appreciate an instructor that teaches like a robot (while yelling when you don't do exactly as he says despite being a brand new driver) it may work for you, but the combination of the instructor being condescending and rude was a big nope. Cancelled all my booked lessons and now I am very happy with another driving school—with an instructor that is patient, understanding, and teaches in a way that works for neurodivergent folks.

Fantastic experience: Alex is truly passionate about his job with a genuine desire to help his students succeed. His teaching style is methodical and scientific and he holds nothing back even if you take just a couple of lessons before the test and this selfless attitude generates loads of positive energy. All this helped a super nervous me, who had so much bad habits to shed, calm down, concentrate and pass my road test. Thank you, Alex, for helping me get my Class 5. You are an excellent teacher but most importantly a good human being. Keep up the excellent work and best of luck.

Fantastic experience: Ok so Alex was fully booked when I first contacted SenSen, but he gave me the contact info for Donald and he is the BEST instructor you’ll ever have! He knows EXACTLY how the test goes so there’s no surprises. You practice everything that will be on the test, exactly how it’s done on the test. He’s calm, clear and concise and I was always comfortable driving with him. I got my N my first try and was super confident going in to my appointment because he really made sure I was ready. I never thought I’d be able to confidently drive and now I love to drive! Thanks again, Donald!

Elly F 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing! I went to SenSen because I had struggled with anxiety as a new driver and found it very difficult to even start learning. I had Alex Sham from SenSen as my instructor, and I found him very kind, caring, and thorough. He took the time to listen to my worries and explain things in as much detail as I wanted, including drawing very helpful diagrams. He also taught me careful and safe driving habits, and now I feel quite comfortable on the road. Definite recommendation - I will be sending any other friends that need to learn to drive his way.

Keiyona Tauro 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had Alex as my instructor and he’s genuinely the best instructor ever. I’ve gone through multiple instructors and they all fail to help me understand what to do clearly.I also tend to get uncomfortable very quickly and back out to ask questions, but Alex was so nice and friendly and was just so amazing at explaining what to do. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students which is such a big thing when taking a test because he made SURE I would pass. I wasn’t very keen on driving but he made driving something I look forward to now. I absolutely recommend to anyone who’s looking for lessons!

Daniel is always able to catch on to my driving mistakes immediately and provide good tips and feedback in preventing them in the future. There were certain lessons I was more mistake prone, I am glad Daniel was patient and encouraging during those days to help me improve my driving. Highly recommend Daniel as an instructor and will definitely be back for class 5. Thank you Daniel once again!!!

Fantastic experience: I was over the moon with the experience I had with SenSen Driving school. I put off getting my license for 11 years due to driving anxiety and a feeling like I could never pass my road test. However, Alex was extremely determined, patient, and his instructions were always clear, he never gave up on me. Thank you. Definitely recommend him to any and all looking to learn how to drive.

Fantastic experience: I've had a lot of different instructors for driving lessons, and by far, Daniel was my favourite and I highly recommend taking lessons with him!! He explained everything in an easy way to understand and happily demonstrated things when I needed him to. He was always friendly, calm and very patient with me while I drove, answered all the questions I had, pointed out my bad habits and how to fix them, and told me that if I ever had questions while I practiced driving on my own, I could always reach out to him, which I really appreciated. Thanks to Daniel, I was able to pass my class 7 roadtest and get my N on my first try!!

Jade Chu 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a lot of anxiety about learning how to drive. I honestly didn’t believe in myself. I looked at all the people around me who could do it and felt totally at a loss. Why wasn’t everyone as terrified as me? Alex showed me the proper steps to safely navigate the road, and in time, I started to gain confidence. Every time I made a mistake he reminded me that it was a a normal part of learning how to drive. If I got scared or overwhelmed, he took control of the wheel (he has a 2 steering set up so can step in at any time) and this really helped to calm my fears of crashing into everything. Once you have enough experience driving (and by driving I mean driving with all the correct safety protocols like shoulder checks and everything) you start to get used to it and you can actively see that you’re driving better than lots of the people around you. The lessons are strict because ICBC has a very specific driving method that they want new drivers to follow. Some details are so specific that I personally believe that a new driver has no way of passing their test without working with a driving instructor who knows what ICBC is looking for. Alex really hammers in the most important details so that you can perform under pressure during your test. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT I PASSED ON MY FIRST TRY! It took me 20 years to gain the courage to do it, but only a few months working with Alex to actually get my N and now I’m driving by myself! I also got to have a couple lessons with Donald who is an ex ICBC examiner so he has a ton of really helpful tips for passing your test. Alex and his team are really awesome and I’m super grateful that I had him to help me through one of life’s milestones. I feel ready to take on new challenges in my life! Happy I went with SENSEN Driving School!

bea alexa 2 years ago

Negative experience: I took lessons with Alex and it was such a negative experience that I switched to Young Drivers BC and had a way better time learning. Alex can be very condescending especially to young women. For beginners, you need to learn how to feel relaxed and in control in order to be confident on the road. Alex makes you the complete opposite - yelling multiple times, startling students while they are driving and making them question their own intelligence. BTW I graduated from an Ivy League so I'm definitely not stupid. At the end of our many lessons he straight up said to me that I'm incapable of learning. When you make a mistake, Alex doesn't take the time to explain. I used to think it was because he was impatient, but now I'm realizing that it is because he literally does not know how to explain the rules of the road - he is only good at telling you what to do. If you want to be a good driver, you need to understand why things are the way they are on the road. However, Alex will not teach you that. He is only laser focused on teaching you how to drive a very specific segment of the street, so if you try to drive outside of that area good luck. He is a very "mechanical" driver so if you want to learn how to drive like a robot geared up for the exam, maybe this is for you. But if you want to adopt an intuitive, smart, and confident driving skillset that is widely applicable to other situations, you better go to Young Drivers or somebody else. For instance, as a new driver, Alex makes you memorize a lot movements, so you find yourself going through the motions rather than understanding WHY you have to make those gestures. You end up focusing so much on not missing any move that you forget to pay attention to the conditions of the road, which is actually dangerous. For a new driver, there are a lot of things to pay attention to, but Alex forces you to drive exactly like he does, rather than help you learn to become an independent driver. He will drain your confidence and destroy your abilities to make good judgments. If you watch his YouTube videos you will see how he has a tendency to blame students for their mistakes in a very nonproductive manner. Teachers should be patient and encouraging instead of snapping at their students at every turn. Driving with Alex was one of the worst paid experiences I've ever had in Vancouver and I would never recommend. By the way, this driving school offers discounts for good reviews so that is most likely why there are so many five stars on google maps. I'd recommend maybe paying for just 1 lesson and not a whole package right off the bat to see for yourself. Honestly, he only cares about money so he has overbooked way too many students for their actual capacity which might explain his bad attitude.

Thank you for taking the time to write the review. Any feedback is always appreciated. Firstly, I don’t know who you are and if you really were a former student of mine. I do not recall ever helping a student by your name. I’m happy you were able to go to Young Drivers and they were able to assist you with your goals. You write of many allegations towards me and my school, do you have any proof for such allegations?? I maintain all reviews whether they are good or bad are authentic and genuine. I have never offered any discounts of any sorts in order to solicit a better review. The YouTube videos are put forth to assist and complement the lessons. They are there for people who want additional resources to assist them with their goals of being a safer driver and to successfully pass their road tests. What is this “blame students” you speak of? If you did some more research before writing this review, my school doesn’t offer any lesson packages. I offer a flat rate for lessons, at the time of this writing it is $130/hr and half or $100/hr which is a competitive rate compared to other driving schools. So I don’t know what you are recommending to people in terms of booking 1 lesson first before committing to getting locked into a package? SenSen Driving School maintains we are here to help students learn the rules and make smart decisions on the road. Our goal is to help students gain confidence, acquire the right knowledge and be safe when driving. In closing, thanks again for writing the review. A lot of false claims and allegations were put forth. I hope you the best of luck with Young Drivers and have a great day.

Fantastic experience: After many lessons with Alex, I was able to pass my road test. Despite my slow learning at times, he was very patient and unwilling to give up on me, and I appreciate that a lot. He made lessons very engaging & entertaining, we shared many laughs and I learned a lot more than just driving. Thanks for the lessons Alex, will definitely be booking more in the future. Would definitely recommend him for drivers of any skill level. #drivingtherapist

Fantastic experience: Alex is an excelent instructor that will explain basic and more complicated stuff in a super easy way to comprehend. He has such a positive atittude in every class that it will make it go faster while you are learning. I obtain my N licence after taking classes with him and I couldn't be happier and satisfied with the service provided. Alex es un instructor que recomendaria al 100% , sabe explicar las cosas basicas y las complicadas de una manera super sencilla. Tiene super buena actitud con sus estudiantes y la clase siempre sera muy amena. Yo obtuve mi licencia N despues de tomar clases con el y de lo unico que me arrepiento es no haberlo encontrado antes.

Fantastic experience: For 3 years, I was scared to step foot in the driver's seat because of a bad driving lesson in the States. That is until I moved to Vancouver, and started taking lessons with Donald. His professionalism, friendliness, and patience kept me at ease at every drive. Donald teaches driving fundamentals and offers practical tips to become a safe, efficient driver and not just pass the next driving test. I recently rented a car to run errands around town, and the driving anxiety was completely gone! 10/10 would recommend.

Delfina 2 years ago

Negative experience: The worst experience ever… I was mistakenly impressed by all these 5 star reviews&Youtube videos (whereas he seems to be nice and down to earth). I was very excited to start my driving lessons with Alex, confident I was in good hands. I didn’t expect that it would have turned out this way… The instructor is very rude, lacking patience and gets irritated easily. I was in a complete shock when he pulled over and asked me if I had any difficulties learning at school and also added “Have you ever taught anyone before? Do you realize that I am teaching someone who is not learning?” I got 98% out of 100% on my knowledge test at the first attempt and had difficulties putting my theoretical knowledge into practice. His communication in a derogative manner made me feel very uncomfortable and nervous. Not sure if it was personal or in general. It was terrible, just horrible. A person with such demeanor shouldn’t be teaching anything at all, let alone driving. I was paying for a service from an instructor who would guide and coach me but not belittle or bring me down and ruin my confidence. Glad I haven’t invested any more time and money into this. I checked reviews on Yelp and found a couple of comments from females who encountered similar experience a while ago. I didn’t even want to drive at all at first but only until I relocated to Victoria and found a great instructor here. The difference is night and day, heaven and hell. He is encouraging when I am doing the right thing and remains calm when I make a mistake, and he is helping me to rebuild my ruined confidence and become a safe and competent driver, I have made a lot of progress since then. Based on my experience I would not recommend this school and this instructor from hell especially if you are a female taking your first steps into practicing driving. I am sure he wouldn’t be talking to a male this way.

Fantastic experience: My instructor is Donald and he really helped me a lot in driving guidance, he pointed out what mistakes I have made and provided valuable suggestions to me, I’m glad that I got passed in my driving test because of Donald’s guidance, he can speak fluent English and Cantonese as well.

Fantastic experience: I had the honour of having classes with Donald from SenSen Driving School. He is very professional and has the most modern approaches to demystifying how to drive in Canada. I totally recommend him.

Adriana Castillo 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: After 5 years of postponing taking the class 5 road test, I finally did it and passed it thanks to Donald’s help! I recommend him and SenSen Driving School a 100%. I choose them based on the reviews I read and the reviews proved to be right. Donald’s knowledge, work ethic and calm presence were very helpful beginning to end! Thanks Donald! He was very accommodating. Picked me up from work and drop me off at home. He also took me to practice in the area where I had my road test. He listened to my concerns and helped me practice the areas where I felt less confident.

He’s also just so fun to be around. I’ll be back to bestie status with him and seeing him weekly once I do my class 5. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: First of all , thank you Alex for your lessons and support with the driving license class 5. It was short , but efficient at the end. Alex is an incredible driver instructor that will support you anytime and he is straight to the driving lessons and he will prepare you what ICBC needs in a new driver.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely recommend taking lessons with SenSen Driving School, with Alex’s help I was able to pass my Class 7 (N) test on my first try! He’s super patient, encouraging and fun, and I really learned a lot from our lessons. Organized schedule, punctual, and even came to pick me up right from UBC, which was super convenient. And his Youtube videos were really informative and helpful - especially the tips on parking and general driving. Thanks again Alex for all your help :)

Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend Alex ! He helped me practice for my Road Test class 5 and I passed on my first attempt. He is very kind and patient, picks you up home and takes you to practice where you would like to take your road test so you're familiar with the area and you can feel more confident the day of your test. He's a great instructor and teacher and his videos are amazing as well! They helped me tons before his classes and of course the actual day of the test. Don't hesitate if you're looking for a driving instructor :)

Fantastic experience: The BEST driving instructor in town! With his techniques and guidance (and lame jokes), Alex helped me pass my class 7 road test on my FIRST try! I’m so glad that I was persistent in contacting him and more glad that he took me on as his student; totally worth it

Ben Healy 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best driving instructor in Vancouver. Alex's lessons were calm, informative and really knowledgeable on all aspects of on-road driving and inside the vehicle. My favourite aspect is that he has his own YouTube channel explaining each manoeuvre/lesson in depth so that you can be practicing at home and preparing for your next lesson/driving test. Thanks for all your help Alex!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Alex. For the past two years each lesson has been great; they were fun and meaningful where I was able to learn many new driving skills and techniques. Your guidance and teachings helped me to pass my class 7 driving test on my first attempt! EDIT (1/10/24): had my class 5 full test today, and a 1.5 hour cram session right before with Alex Sham and still passed no mistakes, with only one lesson. Lesson included everything on the test and more. Alex’s tips and techniques made everything so simple, got it down after one demonstration. Then he took me out for Tim’s during our break, thanks for donut and tea

Fantastic experience: With Alex's help, I passed my class 5 license on the first try! Extremely professional and insane value for the quality of the service he provides. Alex legitimately helped me understand myself more not only as a driver but as a person. He will probe your decision-making and will be relentless at it, and that's what you want in an instructor.

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a driving instructor, look no further. Alex is a brilliant driving instructor with good banter and a genuine passion to help his students achieve their driving goals. With all the support and guidance from Alex, I was able to pass my Class 7 Road Test. He’s extremely thorough with his lessons and answered all my questions with great detail and examples. All of the videos on his YouTube channel helped me prepare for the driving lessons and the road test. I would highly recommend everyone subscribe to his YouTube channel and watch all the videos. Thank you again, Alex, for your help and time. :)

Fantastic experience: A huge shoutout to Daniel for being an invaluable instructor! I took several classes with him before my class 5 road test and I passed on my first attempt! He was patient, accommodating, punctual and overall an amazing teacher. I would recommend anyone in the Vancouver/Burnaby area to take lessons with him. Daniel taught me invaluable tips and tricks to feel comfortable as a driver in the city. Also the YouTube videos that Alex makes were really helpful to get an idea of the exam routes! I will 10/10 recommend SenSen to all my friends!

A M 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am so glad that I had the opportunity to learn from the best and safest driver Alex at Sen Sen driving school, that helped me pass my class 5 test on the first go with praise from the examiner. No matter how many shoulder checks I have managed to forget Alex never failed to stay patient and have a good sense of humour. I highly recommend taking lessons from Sen Sen driving school as they are highly reliable when it comes to being punctual and organized with their schedule offering as many hours needed to help you pass your road test. If I had any questions out of my driving lessons they could be answered by the well-filmed videos on their YouTube channel @SenSenDrivingSchool which had helped me a lot when practising on my own.

Fantastic experience: So happy that we went with SenSen Driving School. Alex very kindly made time in his busy schedule for my son, provided him with great training, and has a channel of excellent YouTube videos that supported the in-person learning. We both also really liked him, which goes a long way. Needless to say, my son got his N on his first try, and the ICBC tester praised his driving. We owe much of this to Alex. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: TL;DR A dedicated and fun teacher who will walk you through everything you need to get your license. He is: • friendly • punctual • caring • professional I was fortunate to have found Alex -- he is the ONLY reason I was able to pass my road test. I had taken my ICBC Road Test once, but I failed and for many years since then, I have been in the perpetual cycle of re-acquiring my Class 7 Learner's Permit. I never really recovered from flunking my road test, but Alex assured me that we could make it happen. RESULT: I passed! He somehow managed to provide me with the confidence and competence to pass and get my "N" (Class 7) He is a miracle worker. I cannot thank him enough, he is an amazing teacher and if you are a committed student, he will get you where you need to go. Happy driving and thank you, Alex -- you are the best!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely I recommend him, it was a challenge for both because my driving permit was almost expiring, so I my husband send me the link of his website, I read all the comments and I said to myself “why not?” So I contact Alex and he accept the challenge and 3 weeks later I’m here happy with my test approved, he is an excellent teacher, is strict but explain you any minimum detail or questions that you have, you feel so safe and secure when you are driving with him, absolutely I recommend him, you are not going to waste your time or money with him, thank you Alex for all your work, advice and patience. Súper recomendable, para no Hacer el cuento largo mi permiso de licencia (papel amarillo) estaba por expirar, por lo que considere tomar lecciones de manejo, mi esposo me mando el link de su website, empecé a leer los comentarios y dije, bueno por que no? Y listo le comenté la situación y empezamos inmediatamente las clases, puedo decirles que en 3 semanas quede mas que lista para el examen de manejo, el maestro me hizo sentir, súper segura, confiada de lo que estaba haciendo, el carro está adaptado para que aprendas a manejar, Alex me inspiró mucha confianza, es estricto, pero valió la pena, al día de hoy estoy feliz con mi resultado!! Gracias por todo!!

Fantastic experience: I am extremely happy that I made the right choice by choosing Alex as my driving instructor. He was very patient, informative and professional, and his sense of humor definitely made the whole learning process much more fun and effective. I am extremely thankful to Alex for his excellent coaching to prepare me for my class 5 road test. I never thought that I would pass my road test on my first attempt because it was in Richmond (known for having the highest failure rate). However, Alex helped me understand the rules of the road very well. I not only cleared my road test on my first attempt but also have become a better driver now. Alex also makes incredible videos on YouTube for his students to look back on what they have learned in class. I personally found them super helpful, since I tend to forget things a lot. I will highly recommend anyone who are looking for a driving instructor to SenSen driving school. Trust me, you won't regret it!!

Fantastic experience: Went back for refresher lessons with Daniel for my Class 5. Passed on first try! Thanks again Daniel for being patient, detailed, and accessible. Highly recommend. Biggest thanks to Daniel and Alex for helping me get my N on first try with praise from the examiner! Due to tricky timing, I had taken lessons from both instructors. The majority of my lessons were with Daniel who helped me correct previously-formed bad habits and taught me new tips for driving/parking well, while I had refresher lessons with Alex who took me to my road test and talked me through my nerves. Both instructors are very patient, funny, and knowledgeable. Also, bless Alex's Youtube videos. 5 stars !!
