New Day Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: If you’re preparing for a road test in Point Grey, I highly recommend taking lessons with Perry. He has an excellent understanding of the area and provides detailed explanations about Point Grey’s road conditions. Perry is an easygoing and friendly instructor who always shows up on time. His patience and professionalism made every lesson stress-free and productive.
Fantastic experience: I am incredibly grateful to have had Perry as my driving instructor. Anyone would be fortunate to learn from him! His wealth of experience shines through in every lesson. Perry generously shares valuable tips and advice, and his honest, yet kind, feedback was instrumental in boosting my confidence. Thanks to Perry's encouragement and expertise, I felt fully prepared and ready. Thank you, Perry! You're the best!
Fantastic experience: Perry is an amazing driving instructor! He was very patient with me and gave constructive feedback about my driving in an understanding manner. What stood out to me the most was his ability to explain complex maneuvers in a simple and understandable way, making even the most challenging parts of driving feel manageable. I truly appreciated Perry’s attention to detail and focus on safety, which gave me the skills and confidence I needed to pass my driving test with flying colors. He will show you all the trick spots for the Point Grey routes, and will also give you tips for your driving after the exam. I would highly recommend Perry for new and anxious drivers as well as more experiences newcomers to Canada.
Fantastic experience: Perry is a fantastic driving instructor, I can't recommend him enough. He is kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. His teaching method is great, and he will really help you to build up confidence in yourself and make sure that you feel ready to take your test. I have passed my road test now and I couldn't have done it without Perrys help! I went to another instructor previously and failed twice - I had really started to lose confidence in my driving, but Perry was able to turn this around, and help me identify the areas that I needed to work on, and also give me some REALLY helpful tips and tricks for the Point Grey area. I highly recommend New Day Driving School for anyone, especially new learners who might be anxious about driving. Perry has a knack for putting students at ease and making the learning process enjoyable. Thanks again, Perry!!!
Thank you Ria for the very generous review. I'm very happy that I was able to guide you to success, but you took ownership of your driving and did your due diligence. I remember one lesson you didn't do as well as usual, but you buckled down, didn't get discouraged, booked an extra appointment, and carried on to success. When I get clear communication from students as to their concerns, it makes my job so much easier. Congratulations and thank you for helping to keep my job fun!
Fantastic experience: I have a few years driving experience in UAE and was going for the class 5 road test (passed first try with 3-4 90 min lessons). Myself not having driven in Vancouver streets before, Perry was an absolute titan; he knew all the tricky spots having been an examiner himself, gave representative mock road tests, marks deductibles were explained from an examiner's perspective, and his rates are honestly one of the best around (light pocket for students like myself, highly recommend). Not only does he know the insides and outsides of the point grey tricky areas, his explanations are on-point, courteous, and he hones in on your mistakes politely as you drive. 6/5 if I could. Thanks Perry, keep rocking.
Thank you Muhammad for the very generous review. All of the things that you mentioned are what I really try to focus on, so I'm thrilled that you were happy and took the time to support me and my business and write such a kind and thoughtful review. I'm happy that you reached your goal of a driver's license, and I reached my goal of having satisfied customers like you - thanks Muhammad!
Fantastic experience: Perry was so great. He is very invested in his teaching and loves sharing his knowledge with the students. He is patient and gives you confidence for the driving test. Perry is also a nice guy in general and not condescending at all. I passed my N test on the first try! Thank you Perry!
Hi Mararaj, thank you for taking the time to write such a kind review. I'm really happy that you were successful, but happier that you felt comfortable and enjoyed your lessons - thank you for supporting me and my business!
Fantastic experience: Perry is a fantastic instructor! He's super patient and dedicated to making sure you become the best driver you can be. Even though I've been driving for 15 years, I found that lessons would be necessary to get used to the BC transit rules and laws. I went with the 3-lesson, 90-minute package. However, I felt better having one more lesson to be totally confident. He was able to accommodate that extra lesson at the last minute, which I really appreciated. I passed my road test on the first try with a clean score! Thank you so much, Perry :)
Hi Camila, thank you for the very generous and kind review! My number one goal is to have happy clients and I'm happy that you were happy with everything, thank you for your kindness!
Fantastic experience: Perry is a great instructor, patient, calm and detail oriented. Helped my daughter pass her test on her first try. Highly recommended.
Hi Mike, thank you for the kind review. It was a pleasure helping Lucia; it makes my job easy when I have such a bright, focused student who wants to learn. Thanks for your support!
Fantastic experience: Perry is very experienced, kind, and incredibly helpful in both the advice and preparation he gave for my road exam. I highly recommend him. He was able to help me develop safe driving habits and skills that will serve me for years to come.
Hi Lukas, thank you for generous review; I really appreciate it. You made things really easy for me and I always looked forward to your lessons. Not only was I able to assist you with your driving, but I also learned a lot about your area of expertise which I found fascinating. Thanks for your support and keeping my job fun!
Fantastic experience: Perry is truly the best instructor ever - he is so kind, patient and supportive and he never makes you feel like giving up even if you’ve had off days during your lessons. Not only is Perry incredibly knowledgeable, but he is very personable and hilarious! He made me laugh so much during my lessons whilst educating me which made the whole experience such a blast. I passed my road test with ease - and to receive feedback from ICBC stating that my driving was just excellent, is a reflection of Perry’s time and efforts in my results. Perry really invests in you and genuinely wants to see you succeed. Already looking forward to booking my class 5 lessons with Perry!
Thank you Shaiza, I’m really happy that you enjoyed your lessons. The focus of the lessons is to become a safe, competent and confident driver, but if you can relax and express your personality, it makes everything more enjoyable. Thank you for letting me guide you on your way to success!
Fantastic experience: Perry is a great instructor to teach me how to drive safe and smart on the road. He not only helps me to pass the road test on the first time, but also equips me with essential skills for daily driving. I highly recommend Perry if you want to take a road test at ICBC Point Grey.
Thank you Chloe. From the beginning of your lessons you made huge progress. When things didn’t go smoothly, you focused and carried on and improved with every lesson. Congratulations on your success and thank you for letting me guide you.
Fantastic experience: Perry is the absolute best. I wish Google let me give 10 stars out of 5. He really knows what he’s talking about and you can just tell he’s an expert. I took 2 lessons with Perry and he was so accommodating and responsive with scheduling although he’s a one-man operation. 100% helped me pass the road test and fine tune the details. I had a different instructor previously and I failed the first try for class 5. When preparing for my second try, I found him on Google and contacted him. He gives the best advice and was going above and beyond to answer my questions outside of lesson hours. I really feel like he cares about his students and I think my driving has definitely gotten better after the lessons, so he definitely gives advice applicable to regular driving and not just the road test. Will surely recommend taking lessons with Perry to my friends!
Hi Crisella, thank you for taking the time to write such a generous and thoughtful review. It gives me great pleasure to see that you were happy with the lessons and had a successful result. It was fun assisting you and your kind feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your kindness!
Fantastic experience: Perry is a great instructor very patient, reassuring and confidence building with a great knowledge of the testing process and the Point Grey Area. With his help I passed first time!
Thank you Aurora. Your focus on the task at hand and attention to detail went a long way towards your success. Thank you for your loyalty after we had an unfortunate interruption to your lessons!
Fantastic experience: I am soooo happy with New Day driving school! Perry is the best! He is so experienced and patient with you and he can teach you everything you need to know to be a safe and predictable driver and to pass your road test! He also adjusts to your driving level and is willing to add lessons if you need to practice more for the road test and build your confidence. He gives scenarios that you may experience on the road so that you are able to handle them properly, which is really helpful for new drivers. I am so glad I had Perry as my driving instructor! Because of him I passed and got my N!
Hi Sahar, thank you for the generous review. I think you know that I thoroughly enjoyed your lessons; your positive outlook and focus on improvement resulted in your ultimate success!
Fantastic experience: Perry is the best; he knows how to teach and handle you depending on your driving level and gives you clear instructions. He adjusts by adding lessons if need be so that you are prepared and confident for the road test. He gives you scenarios as well so you can learn from any possibilities that you might face on the road; teaching you how to be a predictable and safe driver. I passed the first try at Point Grey! I am very happy with Perry!
Fantastic experience: Great experience learning from Perry! I started from scratch, did 10 lessons, and then passed the Class 7 on my first try.
Hi Paula, thank you for the kind review. You are a success story and from start to finish I could see you progressing to a successful result. Thank you for being an awesome student and for letting me guide you along the way!
Fantastic experience: I am a newcomer to Canada and I didn't think I'd need driving lessons again because I have been driving for the last 29 years. However, I had been hearing from so many friends that they failed the road test so I decided to get the services of Perry from New Day Driving School. Perry was very accommodating, easy to coordinate with and very generous with his time. I had 3 refresher lessons with him and used his car for the test (because one needs a car with Learner's Insurance to take the test). I would have failed if not for Perry's lessons and tips. I appreciated how he practiced me through the different test routes in Point Grey and critical things examiners would probably be looking for. When I passed, I asked Perry if I could give him a hug because he had been my best friend and teacher for the last 3 days. I will forever have his voice in my ear telling me to "slow down, slow down" or "you've got to come to a complete stop at the sign" or "shoulder check!" as I drive through the streets of Vancouver (and the rest of North America!) with my Class 5 BC license. Thank you so much Perry!
Thank you Kristine for the generous and thoughtful review. I’m happy that you chose New Day Driving School and let me assist you; it was an absolute pleasure! You were pretty good to go when I met you, just needed a little fine-tuning, congratulations!
Fantastic experience: Perry taught my sister and I and we both succeeded on our Class 7 tests. Since Perry is a former driver examiner, he offers great insight in terms of test routes and situations that may arise on the road. He was very clear regarding ICBC’s marking criteria and what the examiner will be expecting for a successful test. Perry also teaches in a calm and friendly manner. Thank you for the amazing lessons!
Hi Caitlin, thank you for your kind review, and thank you for being such an awesome student! Driving is a serious business, but I really found the lessons with you fun - thanks for letting me finish the year on a happy note!
Fantastic experience: I am a newcomer to Canada who drove sometimes in my home country. I needed to convert my Hong Kong license to a local class 5 one, and I did five 90-minute lessons with Perry within the two weeks before my road test. I am happy to report that I just passed my road test in mid-December at Point Grey ICBC on my first attempt, and I feel very confident to drive safely on Canadian roads now. Perry runs this driving school as a single-person business and he is a very experienced and knowledgeable educator. He worked as an ICBC examiner so he certainly knows common pitfalls in the road test. He also mentioned that he has been working as an instructor for some time but Google cleared his old account with all the positive reviews, so people might mistake his business as a newly established one. Please remember to take a look at his very organized and informative website for tips. I would certainly recommend Perry to all my friends who are learning to drive or converting their licenses since he is a responsible instructor who goes the extra mile for his students (literally). As a result, no doubts remain uncleared at the end of each lesson. Also, the price of driving lessons is very reasonable compared to the larger driving schools that my friends have attended. Perry commented that I might be a rare student who needed fewer lessons than usual, and if I had risked it I might have even passed the road test after one lesson (maybe because I had done 70 hours of simulated driving on a programme called City Car Driving before coming to Canada). However, I felt that taking five 90-minute lessons was just the right amount for me to accumulate experience behind the wheel and learn everything I need to be a safe driver here. Accidents are costly so it is best to err on the side of caution. Perry is accurate and concise in his feedback and explanations, and he would not recommend his students to take the road test if he thinks they are not ready. Students can trust his judgement in the number of lessons required.
Thank you Ronald for the very generous and thoughtful review. It gave me great satisfaction to assist you, as you were really focused and motivated to not only be successful on the road test, but to also be a competent and confident driver in the future. As I told you in your lessons, you made things easy for me. You could have taken just one lesson, but you gave me the opportunity to share with you the great wealth of knowledge I've attained in over twenty years as a driving instructor and an ICBC driver examiner. Thank you for choosing and trusting me as an instructor; it was a pleasure to assist you!
Fantastic experience: If you're planning on taking your road test at ICBC's Point Grey location, I can't recommend Perry highly enough. I had learned to drive on my own with my brother, and took a lesson with Perry to brush up on my skills ahead of my test. He's super knowledgeable and knows the Point Grey area like the back of his hand - he showed me all the tricky spots that can fumble new drivers and worked with me to practice navigating them well, and helped me reinforce key skills that you're expected to nail on your road test. I appreciated his direct feedback approach - both offering positive reinforcement on things I did well, and constructive, honest feedback for things I needed to work on if I wanted to pass. I'm super glad I took lessons with him - with his guidance I managed to pass my test on my first try - thanks Perry!
Thank you Maggie for the generous and thoughtful review.The points you mentioned are exactly what I try to achieve in my lessons. Having a focused and receptive student like you makes my job easy, and your ultimate success also gave me great satisfaction. Thank you for support and kindness!
Fantastic experience: Perry is a great instructor! He will teach you everything you need for your road test. He will also assess you if you are ready, which I believe is really helpful for the student. Had a previous instructor and failed three times, but with Perry I finally passed my road test. Thank God and also, thank you Perry for helping me pass my road test in Point Grey.
Congratulations on your success Elaine, and thank you for the nice review. It was a pleasure to help you; you just needed a little more confidence and correct information and you were good to go! Thank you for letting me assist and for sending more students my way.
Fantastic experience: I've had several different driving instructors and tried 3 or 4 different schools. Perry's was by far my favourite experience. He was super thorough, made it a point to repeat routes and techniques until I understood, and really went the extra mile with every class. I have now passed my driving exam, and couldn't have done it without Perry's help! Highly recommend New Day Driving School for anyone, especially Point Grey examiners. Thanks again, Perry!!!
Thank you Marianna and congratulations. You were good to go, just needed a little direction. Thank you for trusting me for correct information after your previous unsuccessful experiences, well done!
Fantastic experience: Perry is awesome, and hes a great instructor! I had almost 0 experience before starting lessons only a few months ago, I became more confident after each lesson, at 34 years old I thought it would be harder for me to learn, but I passed my road test first try! I highly recommend hiring Perry as your instructor!
Hi Jessica, thank you for your support, I really enjoyed your lessons. Your positive attitude and enthusiasm made my job fun, congratulations!
Fantastic experience: Perry is very knowledgeable and experienced. He was able to help me past my exam on the first try.
Thank you David, I really appreciate that. Your focus and attention to detail led to your success, congratulations!
Fantastic experience: I had the best experience with New Day Driving School. Perry taught me pretty much from scratch as I never had a driving experience before taking his classes. He is the most experienced, patient, kind and knowledgeable instructor one could ever find. He used to work as a road test examiner and he kindly guided me through all the nuances and gave me a lot of confidence. Thanks to him I acquired good driving skills and was able to pass my road test from the first time. I’m so thankful for this experience and I can’t recommend his school enough!
Thank you Tatyana, I really enjoyed your lessons and seeing how you progressed to being such a competent and confident driver. It was really fun hanging out with you, congratulations on your success!
Fantastic experience: Perry of New Age Driving School is a wonderful teacher and a great person. We hit it off immediately. I had previously failed my test 3 times with various instructors over the last 10 years. Perry got me over the line on the first try. Perry's years of experience as both an instructor and examiner were immediately obvious. I've never received instruction from anybody as cool, calm, and knowledgeable as he is. I was searching for recommendations and reviews for a long time before I settled on Perry. I spoke with a few other schools but I knew after one phone call that Perry was the right fit for me. He cares about what he's doing, and he can be as laid back and as personable as you'd like. A super interesting dude. The only thing I regret is not being able to chat more during lessons! I got my N with New Day Driving and will be back in 2 years for my full license test, no question.
Thank you James; I really appreciate this review as the things that you mentioned are what I really focus on; I want my lessons to be enjoyable as well as educational. Because of your easygoing manner and personality, I really looked forward to your lessons. I just wish I had acknowledged this review seven months ago!
Fantastic experience: I am so fortunate to have found Perry. As an adult driver, I was especially cautious and nervous to get on the road and I don't think I would have succeeded with any other instructor. Perry is very patient, encouraging, and professional. He had a great ability to teach and explain driving in a way that makes sense and makes you feel comfortable. I have had other driving teachers before and I can say with confidence that Perry is the best!
Thank you Lara, this is a little late, but thank you for the generous comments! You know this already, but I thoroughly enjoyed your lessons, especially since you were a much better driver than you thought. I hope you’re enjoying your driving and not getting honked at too much!
Fantastic experience: Perry is an incredible teacher. In just 5 lessons and with not very much previous driving experience, I passed my N exam on the first try! He has smart techniques that make parallel parking and reverse stall parking easy to maneuver (with practice). He was also once an examiner so he knows the ins and outs of what it takes to pass! If you are looking to refine your skills, you found your teacher. Thank you, Perry. I appreciate your patience and expertise!
Fantastic experience: Perry is an amazing driving instructor! I've been through four different instructors and found him to be the most helpful and personable. He is encouraging, knowledgeable, and clear with his instructions and explanations. Passed my road exam first try and owe it all to him. If you're doing your road test in Point Grey, can't recommend him enough.
Negative experience: This guy can talk and talk. He loves to reschedule lessons and cannot take any criticism.
Hi Henry, I’m not sure who you are, but it looks like you didn’t get the five star experience like everybody else. But I noticed in your google reviews that you are never happy, can’t please everyone.
