Etobicoke Driving School

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with my driving instructor Awan! Very patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made sure I felt confident and prepared me at every step. He was very calm and had clear instructions which helped me stay relaxed and focused, and I passed my driving test on the first attempt! Highly recommend Awan’s services to anyone looking for a professional, supportive, and skilled instructor!

Fantastic experience: I see some bad reviews but Nadia is the only driving instructor invested in helping me pass my G2 and full G. I passed my G road test on the first try. Yes, she is blunt the way some Ukrainians and Eastern European people are, but her methods and instructions helped me pass my G, and are ingrained in me to this day. I sat in the back of her car while she taught some really low IQ drivers and to me she is very patient, more patient than I would be with certain people. She had a flexible schedule and practiced the exam routes with me until I got it right. I have been with many instructors and she's the only one who I felt cared enough to help me pass. So don't listen to the bad reviews... As long as you try hard, use your brain and are receptive to her instructions you will pass.

Fantastic experience: My son had a great experience with his instructor Baha. The registration / payment process is a bit unusual … they are a “low tech” company … but worth it for a good price compared to some competitors. Thanks!

Negative experience: If you like to be yelled at, or if you like to have your class at a spot convenient for the instructor, not you, then book a class with Nadia. She charged two hours for a lesson needed to show the exam area but said she didn't know the area and started teaching parking. On the highway she was rude and unprofessional, screamed at a senior person, so my father failed the exam of course. When I called her to ask why the exam was fail, she couldn't care less, didn't even ask at the test centre. As usual screamed into the phone while having another lesson. Disgusting behavior.

Positive experience: Overall, I had a great experience with Etobicoke Driving School. At first, I felt like I didn’t need driving school. After the first lesson I had with Shakil, I realized I did. I had the pleasure of learning from Shakil and John. Although I only had John for one lesson, he was terrific. Shakil was also very great. Both instructors were calm when I drove and pointed everything I either did right or wrong. Even when on the road, I was able to be myself and engage in conversation with both Shakil and John. However, I must point out one thing. Book your road test date based on the schedule of your instructor. Even though it’s “Etobicoke Driving School”, they’ll drive to as far as Norfolk County if you want to do your test there. Other than that, great quality service. I do recommend driving school. You may say you don’t need it, but you really do. -James

Negative experience: I booked a session for my G and unfortunately my experience was terrible from the start, Nadia was a pretty rude person to me and consistently passive aggressive... she seemed frustrated about things and was taking it on me. on another note, she asked for more money than agreed initially, which was already higher than the market price (when you ask around). if I hadn't told her that our conversations are recorded, she would have defrauded me for $75/h... she lacks interpersonal or communication skills and is very unorganized as well... overall I wouldn't recommend her to anyone... maybe this school has some better instructors as I see some good reviews, however, Nadia is an awful representation of the business.

Fantastic experience: I took some classes with Jibran, who was very patient, friendly and helped me build confidence on the road!! I passed my driving test for G2 with ease. I highly recommend this school and Jibran. Thank you very much!.

Fantastic experience: Shakil highly recommended got my g2 in first shot. also, gives good advice to new students.

Fantastic experience: Etobicoke Driving School is the best School in town. John is great. Very patient and comforting. I was very nervous to drive but thanks to John, I was able to pass my G1 and G license at the very first time. Thank you John! I will definitely recommend the Etobicoke Driving School to anyone who wants to learn the proper and safe driving. Best regards AsiaWasia

Fantastic experience: I went to Etobicoke Driving School as an adult with no driving experience. John had me behind the wheel in no time. Over the course of a few months, John taught me everything that was required to be a safe and effective driver within GTA. After getting my G2 license under John's guidance I couldn't say enough good things about this establishment. Thanks!!

Fantastic experience: My driving teacher Raj was amazing! He was aware, supportive and low-stress; even made rescheduling easy. I recommend for sure!

Negative experience: I called up to ask about the lessons. But the person didn't seem at all interested in having conversation! Just spoke for half a minute and cut the call.

Fantastic experience: My son enrolled in Etobicoke Driving School in early March. I spoke with John and he said to send my son's name, email etc. By the end of the day, we had the link to do the online learning. I called John to arrange paument and he said my son could give the instructor the payment during his first in-car lesson. Not many businesses use the honor system these days! I am happy to say that Adrian responded well to Nadia's teaching. He got his G1 on August 20, 2021 and got his G2 on his first attempt on May16th, 2022. Thank you Nadia, John and Etobicoke Driving School...we will definitely recommend you!

Fantastic experience: Very good school, and instructors. I had Nadia as an instructor. Passed my G2 and G from the first try:) Highly recommend them

Fantastic experience: Shakil is amazing.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful driving experience. John was my instructor and was very professional, punctual, accommodating, and to the point. Once I arrived an hour early, but still he accommodated me by adjusting the class timing at the last moment. He only takes people for the driving test when he is confident that they will pass and that’s the reputation he has built at the test centre too. If you are going for the driving test with him, feel confident that you will pass. I passed my driving test in just a few lessons from him. Thank you Etobicoke driving school and thank you Mr. John.

Fantastic experience: Exceent service, teaching, fair price.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience here. I needed a few lessons to fix some of my bad habits I had prior to taking my full G. I passed my G test on the first go. Highly recommend this driving school. My instructor was always accommodating and flexible with scheduling.

Fantastic experience: Great experience overall, Shakil Ahmed was a very knowledgeable instructor, will give you the skills you need to pass your test!

Fantastic experience: Very patient instructors. Defensive driving course is conducted the best way possible. They won't recommend taking the driving test unless they are sure you will pass.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with John my instructor. He was polite, caring and knew when to calmly pass along constructive critisicm. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good driving instructor!

Fantastic experience: I just got my G license in first shot. Good experience with that school. They really know what they are talking about. I was very happy with their method of teaching me. I strongly recommend this place as a good price and getting bundle of knowledge about driving skills.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Etobicoke Driving School. The lessons are very helpfull. My instructor John was very polite, professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend to anyone learning to drive.

Negative experience: Rude, terrible teaching methods, unprofessional and dirty. Talking on the phone while student was driving. All in all I would not recommend this to anyone

Fantastic experience: John helped myself and countless people i know in Etobicoke pass their G2 road tests. Very enthusiastic and caring teacher, would recommend to anyone. Edit: if you failed an exam, would you rate your professor 5 stars? Eglinton test centre is one of the most difficult in Ontario. John is a great teacher.

Negative experience: Very horrible experience. I would not advise anyone to do driving lessons with this school. I have failed my road test multiple times with the Ukranian lady that was my driving instructor. She is very rude , she is on the phone while she is suppose to be teaching you, all she does it yell and does not explain what to do correctly, she does not give you a chance to try out driving on your own. All she cared about was reciving my money after every lesson and after every FAILED road test for using the car and i have wasted alot of money with this driving school. Specifically having the Ukranian lady as my driving instructor. I have switch to another driving instructor from another school who was amazing and actually taught you everything you need to know to pass your road test. I only did 3 lessons with the other school and I passed my first time going for my G2 . With Etobicoke driving school I had failed 6 times for the whole year.

Fantastic experience: I had an epic and unforgettable experience with this driving school.

Fantastic experience: These guys really care about what they do. My in car was VERY informative and helpful, and I can easily say that I learned a lot and was prepared for my test. A lot of my friends who went to other schools failed their G2 test 2-3 times. John was great for the in class, as he really has passion for good driving and safety. These guys have been around for a long time and are quality!
