Fantastic experience: Cara and Team was really great to work with and was very accommodating to make scheduling work. They trained 2 family members and allowed them to pass their G2 tests with a breeze. I highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend them for driver training/instruction. All 3 of my children have gone through their academy and have successfully achieved both their G2 and their G licenses with little issues and they are safe drivers. I found the instructors competent, friendly and very accommodating. Thank you Parker Right for all you services!
Fantastic experience: Cara and her team are an excellent group of instructors. Cara is very helpful and patient with students, taking the time to make sure they fully understand the maneuver they are performing before doing it and pointing out any mistakes in a manner that is calm, proffesional and easy to understand. She is very dedicated to both her driving instruction and her students and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for somewhere to take driving lessons.
Fantastic experience: 10/10 Driving school. I had my lessons with Mark and he is such an incredible instructor. I'm 27 and I was terrified to drive, but after a few hours driving with Mark I starting getting confidence in my driving ability. I passed my G2 first try and I could not be happier!! Highly recommend Parker Right Driving Academy!!
Fantastic experience: Mark did a pre test ride with my daughter. Excellent communication and feedback. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Mark as your driving instructor, as the way he explains things and conveys the rules of the road, in a very calming nature, really helped my son pass both his G2 and G tests first time. Really appreciated Mark, thank you!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things. Cara and Mark are just the most genuine and patient instructors. They have taken such great care of both my children. They go above and beyond. I appreciate and respect them and the business they operate. Thank you for everything!!
Fantastic experience: Cara truly is an above and beyond driving instructor and mentor. Over 5 years ago, I was able to have her teach me both in class and during all of my in car lessons as well. Not only is she an individual who prides herself in teaching each and every student how to drive, but she becomes a friend in the process. Cara is someone who dedicated her own time to help me with extra driving lessons in preparation for my G2. Even when I went for my G test in a different location hours away due to school, she was available to video chat and talk me through it the night before. Truly can’t say enough positive things about Parker Right!!
Fantastic experience: Cara definitely deserves a 5-star rating!! I had the pleasure of being taught by her both in the classroom and behind the wheel over a decade ago. Her expertise was funda in boosting my confidence and ensuring I was a safe driver. What sets Cara apart is her commitment to her students – she didn't just teach me; she taught my entire social circle. She's been a key part of all of our driving experiences growing up. If you're in need of an instructor who's knowledgeable and personable, I couldn’t recommend Cara enough!!
Fantastic experience: Cara is so knowledgeable in what she's doing, that when I went to do my road test after her lessons, the examiner asked if I had taken the test already, and they were surprised it was my first time. She prepares you that much!
Fantastic experience: I had an awesome experience with Cara when I was learning how to drive. Cara took extra time driving with me to help me get my G1 & G2. She was so very patient and kind. Ten years later I feel I am a confident driver because of her. I highly recommend if you are a new driver to go to Parker right! Thank you Cara and Mark ♥️! 10/10
Fantastic experience: I had cara as my instructor a few years ago, and had the best experience ever, she makes sure you understand everything no matter how many times you have to redo or ask. She is very friendly and knowledgeable, you will definitely leave here with a lot more knowledge, reassurance and confidence when getting behind the wheel, still use many of her skills to this day. 10/10

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Parker right driving academy. Cara was great both in the classroom and in the vehicle. She was very clear and specific. She focused on every important detail when driving. I felt very confident when driving with her and I wouldn’t have been able to get my G2 and G licences without her!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Cara and her team! Great with not only young adults learning to drive but also elderly!!! You will not be disappointed!!!
Fantastic experience: Best experience here! 3 of my children took lessons here already and one more coming soon!
Fantastic experience: Cara is the best driving instructor! I passed my road test on my first try. She was very warm and willing to listen to me. She was great at explaining things I might’ve missed. I still hear her voice in my head when I’m on the road! Book with her, you won’t regret it!
Fantastic experience: My 3 children went through Parker Right Driving Academy and was well worth it. They enjoyed the course great instructors and the insurance discount is a bonus !!
Fantastic experience: Instructors are great and teach you everything you need to know and to get ready for your driving test, would definitely recommend Parker Right to anyone interested in taking drivers Ed
Fantastic experience: My husband and I are new to Canada and needed to convert our existing licenses to Ontario Drivers Licenses. Parker Right helped us with the nitty-gritties and to correct those bad habits that you develop over years! From our experience - don't assume you can pass just because you have experience! Cara and Mark were friendly, kind and patient and a real pleasure to spend a few hours with in the car.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Parker Right Driving Academy! I don't think I would have passed my driving test the first time without them! Cara and Mark were so helpful and patient and accommodating, they made the whole course a breeze! Cara really knows her stuff in class and Mark helped me with my anxiety with in car lessons. 10/10!
Fantastic experience: Friendly and knowldgeable staff. My son was well prepared for his G2 drive test. He was told he could have passed his full G he was that skilled. Thanks Parker Right!
Fantastic experience: Cara is very personable and a thorough teacher. She ensures students are aware of every scenario that could happen on the road as this affects lives. She doesn’t let tardiness or laziness slip yet is enjoyable and personable in the car. Thoroughly recommend Parker Right Academy!
Fantastic experience: Very nice people. Communication was great and they facilitated me at short notice too. They were very thorough,step by step instructions, I felt very comfortable with Mr. Mark . I would recommend them to everyone. Got my monies worth. I felt very confident that I would pass, even before I did my test.
Negative experience: Somehow, my review was deleted. I'm not really sure what the point of leaving reviews is when the owners can simply have them removed.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Cara makes real connections with her students and is always personable, professional and helpful. She’s a thorough instructor who dedicates her time to her students and goes above and beyond to help build their confidence when learning to drive.
Fantastic experience: Really good learning experience here. Very friendly, committed people. Best driving school in the area for sure
Negative experience: I read a lot of positive reviews for Parker right Academy before signing my son up. In hindsight, I realize all the reviews are mentioning someone named "Mark", who I'm guessing is no longer there (?). We struggled to get driving lessons in. They were months apart (as someone else mentioned). Cara often said she was the only person available. I actually asked for another person to take my son because she gave him such anxiety about driving. She YELLED at my child, constantly slammed on the brakes (for the record, he passed with a perfect score and was always a safe driver). Out of my four children, he was the only child I genuinely felt comfortable driving with from day one. Cara made him nervous behind the wheel because of her constant yelling. I had to talk him down before each lesson (just two more hours and you're done! Just more lesson!, ect.) He dreaded his lessons. I do not recommend. They are the cheapest from what I saw, but you truly get what you pay for. The whole experience was terrible.
I am sorry to hear you and he felt that way. My apologies. I always recommend, please,communicating any issues or feedback with me. If the student feels a certain way, I need to know in order to help. I have taught 1000's of students in my 15 years, and parents usually have no problem calling me and discussing issues or problems. I wish you had called. Yes Mark is still an instructor. Feel free still, please to contact me to discuss further. I know he has passed already, but would still be free to discuss, as I don't know how people feel if they don't talk to me. I am available if you choose.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this personalized and caring business. My son broke his leg - Cara and Mark accommodated holding on his lessons until he could drive again then prioritized his bookings. My son LOVED Mark and soaked up his every word. The day prior to his driving test and the day of Mark offered two final lessons which eased the anxiety. I feel confident with my son on the roads alone because of the solid foundation given to him from Parker Right!
Fantastic experience: I called Parker Right Driving Academy at the last minute on the morning of my driving test. Mark and Cara generously gave me a lesson despite the fact that they were both on vacation that day. Mark gave me a run through of the test, showed me the potential routes and what examiner would be checking for. I passed the test all thanks to him! On top of the great lesson Mark and Cara were very kind and they even called me after the test to see how I did. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: If I could rate Parker Right Driving Academy as 100/100, I would definitely do that. This driving school is a wonderful place for everyone who needs to learn driving from the very scratch, regardless of the age. If you, just like me, have to learn driving at a later age, you can be sure that Cara and Mark will help you overcome your driving fears and nervousness and will teach you how to drive safely and responsibly and increase your confidence on the road. You will find there all necessary support and encouragement combined with high professionalism and commitment. I am extremely grateful to Cara and Mark for their diligent work and help due to which I got my G2 driver's license! And I highly recommend Parker Right Driving Academy for everyone!
Fantastic experience: Cara and Mark from Parker Right Driving Academy were extremely helpful and accommodating when teaching my Son to drive. Mark was my Son's driving instructor and is very patient which helped ease the anxiety of driving. My son passed his G2 test the first try and I know it is due to Mark teaching him all of the things needed to be a safe driver. I am happy to give Parker Right Driving Academy 5 stars because they earned every one of them! Highly recommend Parker Right Driving Academy if you are looking for any driving instruction at all!
Fantastic experience: Very professional, kind and patient! They educate thoroughly and take their time to make sure you have everything down! 10/10 would always recommend
Fantastic experience: Great driving academy! If you're looking for trustworthy instructors that will support you through your entire driving journey, this is the place to go.
Fantastic experience: I took Parker Right Driving Academy last year and it was great, I wanted to ensure I knew everything I needed to pass my G2. Cara was my instructor and with her help I aced my exam. Definitely worth it, super easy to communicate with and was able to schedule on Saturdays, and as a full-time worker I really appreciated that!
Fantastic experience: As a (now) G2 driver, I am so very grateful for the experience I had with Parker Right Driving Academy, but specifically with Cara. With COVID, in person classroom was not allowed, so I completed my classroom hours in an online setting. Once I finished my online hours, I jumped right in the car for my lessons. Cara worked around my busy schedule, and fit me in whenever she could (accounting for her other students). When lockdown hit, in-car lessons stopped but once we reopened, we were right back in the car. Parker Right Driving Academy prepares you for the real driving world, and is my number one recommendation. They work with you, care about you, and help you out wherever is needed. I got my lessons done all within a couple of months, and got my G2 as soon as I found a spot open! Very thankful for my experience with Parker Right.
Fantastic experience: Well structured in class sessions from a very knowledgeable instructor. I was nervous because I am a much older student, with a very real fear of driving. Cara made me feel comfortable in and out of the classroom and was always pushing me to drive more to gain confidence behind the wheel before my road test. This was exactly what I needed! Before the in class sessions were completed she had us all arrange our in car lessons before we left so not sure why people are saying they had a month between lessons. I didn't book all my lessons at once because I was not interested in fast tracking my license as I needed more practice. Then Covid shut us down for months at a time. As soon as we reopened Cara called me right away to set up more lessons and even accommodated extra lessons as I felt I needed them. I’m happy to say that after having 2 road tests cancelled by the Ministry, I was finally able to complete my road test in July of this year and passed on the first try! Thanks to Cara for giving me a lesson right before my test and being there to congratulate me when I returned from my test. It was an amazing moment in my life and having my instructor there beaming with pride made it that much better! I’d highly recommend Cara and the team at Parker Right if you want to learn how to drive the right way: safely, defensively and with confidence. It is worth every penny!
Negative experience: So not worth the money .... poor teachers over crowded classes and months in between lessons....
I am not sure what you are referring to. During the time you are saying, we were not even in classroom due to Covid. We held no in-person classes from February 2020 until August 2022.
Fantastic experience: I just finished my course here at Parker Right Driving Academy and found that it was everything that I wanted and/or needed in a driving course. In class, we had demonstrations and scenarios. Everything was well structured and easy to follow so long as you listened and paid attention in class. I recommend taking notes as she does go over what you'll likely be doing on your road tests, among with all of the other useful information she gives to her students in class. A lot of it is common sense, so the only reason you could fail this course is if you don't show up or don't pay attention in class. I found that she's great with young and older drivers, with a great personality that makes everyone feel comfortable in class.
