New Horizons Driving School Coquitlam, BC

Expérience fantastique: Leroy est un gars amical et encourageant qui fait que l'apprentissage de la conduite semble beaucoup plus facile que vous ne pouvez l'imaginer. Lorsque vous êtes au volant, vous êtes toujours totalement en contrôle, sans aucune intervention de l'instructeur sauf si c'est ABSOLUEMENT nécessaire. Il vous permet de faire quelques erreurs sur la route, fournissant des directions correctives juste après, permettant de comprendre clairement les petites choses qui peuvent perturber votre conduite. Dans l'ensemble, un merveilleux enseignant qui vous guide dans les bases de la conduite avec des instructions claires, tout en vous incitant à sortir un peu de votre zone de confort en même temps.

Expérience fantastique: Ma fille a utilisé NHDS pour apprendre à conduire. Leroy a enseigné les compétences appropriées pour chaque situation. J'ai recommandé NHDS à d'autres amis ayant de nouveaux conducteurs. Merci Leroy.

Expérience fantastique: Les amis de ma fille ont été avec Leroy Wong et nous recommandent ce grand instructeur. Mes filles ne pratiquent qu'avec nous, donc nous avons réservé des cours avec Leroy. Il a donné à ma fille une évaluation très détaillée et lui a enseigné ce qu'elle avait manqué ou qu'elle n'avait pas appris. Elle était très heureuse du cours et a amélioré sa conduite. Les cours de conduite de Leroy sont très clairs, efficaces et encourageants. Super nouvelle, ma fille a réussi son test du premier coup ! Je remercie vraiment Leroy pour toute l'aide ! Nous recommanderons définitivement Leroy à quiconque que nous connaissons.

Expérience fantastique: Leroy est un excellent instructeur qui a su faire preuve de patience et de professionnalisme lors des leçons de ma fille. Après quelques leçons, elle a gagné la confiance et la formation nécessaires pour l'examen de conduite. Je recommanderais fortement New Horizons à tout le monde.

Expérience fantastique: Leroy a été incroyablement patient tout au long de nos leçons et a créé un environnement sûr et confortable pour que je puisse apprendre. Il est très détaillé et clair dans ses instructions et vous apprend à corriger vos erreurs étape par étape. Leroy fournit également des diagrammes pour ceux qui trouvent les visuels utiles. Je le recommanderais à 100 % à quiconque est nouveau dans la conduite, en particulier s'il est anxieux ou nerveux à l'idée d'être sur la route.

Expérience fantastique: Je recommanderais vivement Leroy si vous cherchez un instructeur de conduite, il est super patient et calme, et vraiment excellent pour expliquer - par exemple, lorsqu'il s'agit d'apprendre à se garer, il dessinait chaque étape sur un diagramme, que vous pouvez emporter chez vous après. Je me suis senti extrêmement à l'aise tout au long de la leçon et il a donné de très bonnes astuces - même quand je faisais une erreur, il faisait calmement remarquer ce qu'il fallait faire la prochaine fois, et c'était toujours de manière positive. Je recommande vivement de l'embaucher pour vous préparer à votre examen de conduite !!

Expérience fantastique: Très informatif et patient. M'a aidé à me préparer pour ma classe 7 et je me sens plus confiant.

Expérience fantastique: Apprendre à conduire avec Leroy a été une expérience incroyable ! Sa gentillesse, sa patience et son attention à transformer les erreurs en opportunités d'apprentissage ont rendu chaque leçon agréable. Pendant les leçons, il trouve un équilibre parfait entre des conversations amicales et un coaching informatif, créant ainsi un environnement d'apprentissage précieux et détendu. L'approche de Leroy de passer en revue un test simulé a été extrêmement utile ; cela m'a donné une idée de ce à quoi ressemblerait le vrai test et a aidé à identifier les domaines nécessitant des améliorations. Ses retours détaillés sur les erreurs et ses conseils pratiques pour s'améliorer ont été parfaits pour renforcer ma confiance et ma préparation pour le vrai test de conduite.

Expérience fantastique: J'ai passé un excellent moment à conduire avec Leroy, et j'ai hâte de passer mon examen de conduite!

Expérience fantastique: Wonderful driving classes to have. Leroy provides very clear driving instructions along with good advice. He also provides practice driving tests to prepare students for the actual test. Each route during the test is often different from the other, good for practicing thinking on the road. After the mock test, he’ll provide notes on what the student did well and what can improve. I found this helped me improve my driving skills a lot over the weeks. Leroy is also a very patient and good-natured teacher. Overall, if you are looking for effective driving lessons, I would highly recommend registering for New Horizons’ driving classes.

I used to have such bad anxiety when it came to even the thought of driving, but after 6 lessons with Leroy I feel so much more confident on the road. He teaches everything at a perfect rate so you have time to learn new skills before moving on to the next one. His mock road tests are incredible as well and he has great insight in how to prepare for the real test. I've had lessons with other instructors at other driving schools in the past and none of them come close to how great Leroy was!! Finding New Horizons Driving School was a blessing. 110% recommend!!

He is so easy to talk to and you don’t just talk about driving stuff which takes out the pressure in me when we go for a drive, I sometimes feel like we’re just on a road trip :) and its as if I am already a pro!

Expérience fantastique: As someone completely new to driving, I had taken lessons with different instructors in my area and had some bad experience until I found Leroy with New Horizons Driving School. In my honest opinion, Leroy is by far the best driving instructor I’ve had. He is patient, polite and knowledgeable. I can’t thank him enough for making each lesson enjoyable, and most importantly for building my confidence in driving. Also, the mock road test in the end was so helpful in getting me mentally ready for the test. Thanks to his feedback and tips, I passed my class 7 road test at first attempt!!

Expérience fantastique: I highly recommend Leroy - He is an amazing instructor, super organized, patient and friendly. He helped me to feel confident in my driving skills and I passed my road test with no problem! Thank you so much, Leroy! You are the best =)

Expérience fantastique: Leroy is awesome & very effective driving instructor with calm and flexible approach to fit learning that works for you. He really cares about your learning and safe driving. Leroy also understands ICBC tests in great detail and can provide clear pointers for that. It's still up to you to soak that in and be ready for the test. I have taken 3 lessons with Leroy to get ready for my N driving test. I had some driving practice prior to my lessons with Leroy, so with Leroy we concentrated on good driving practices and what the test be like. We started from the basics still, so that all subsequent learning has good foundation and went from there. For new manoeuvres, Leroy has great way of showing/explaining them prior to first attempt and that was very helpful. I also felt safe practicing new things with Leroy being present in the car. Definitely recommend !

Expérience fantastique: Leroy was an amazing instructor, he gave me the practice, confidence and knowledge I needed to pass my class 7 road test. He is extremely patient, friendly and gives very clear instructions. He also taught me easy tips and tricks when it came to parking (which I had struggled with for the longest time) and his mock tests really prepared me for the actual test. I would 100% recommend anyone else to take his lessons!

Expérience fantastique: Leroy is such a helpful instructor. He eased my anxieties about driving and I feel more confident now than I have before. 100/10 would recommend him if you have any anxieties with driving! He is also very easy to talk to which made the lessons very fun! :)

Expérience fantastique: Excellent instructor. Patient and determined.

Expérience fantastique: I just completed my driver lessons with Leroy. He's so professional and patient. Beside covering all driving knowledge, he gave me so many driving tips and tips to pass the ICBC road test. I heard from my friend that he was an ICBC road test examiner for more than ten years, so he know exactly how the examiner score us ( or deduct our scores). At the end of each class, he gives feedback and comment so that I can tell my family to help watch me when I practice driving. The car is new and clean. I feel so much confident after taking lessons with him, unlike practicing with my dad lol The location is convenient. I can take skytrain to him. He drop me off at the same skytrain station once finish the class. You should book early since his lesson schedule is fully booked so fast. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: We booked a class 5 road test on short notice for transferring a foreign license. Worked with 4 different driving instructors over 5 days as a refresher (hadn’t driven in many many months). We only had one two-hour lesson with Leroy, but he was the best of the bunch.

Expérience fantastique: Choosing to take lessons with Leroy was the best decision in my New driver training, over a very short period of time, Leroy helped boost my confidence and gained the skills needed to Pass. His Mock drivers exam prepared me for the day, I was able to take my N test and pass on my first attempt, I'm a nervous exam taker, so being able to pass first try says a lot! Thanks Leroy :D

Expérience fantastique: After putting off driving lessons for far too many years due to my own worry and self doubt I finally made the leap and didn’t look back. I am so thankful to have crossed paths with New Horizons/ Leroy. His seemingly endless plethora of knowledge and patience made all the difference. I took 8 lessons and felt that each class he tacked on just the right amount of new info without being overwhelming. The order that he teaches skills flows effortlessly and comes with reason. I found it quite handy to have a grading sheet at the end of each lesson to track progress. The friendly banter was a sweet bonus. I feel so much more at ease about taking my road test. Thanks a bunch, Leroy!

Expérience fantastique: I greatly enjoyed my experience with New Horizons - each lesson was informative, and varied to help provide the best possible experience where you can be exposed to different scenarios you would face as a driver. All my questions were answered throughout the process, and after the 5 lesson course I felt very confident I could pass my road test! I also appreciated greatly being given feedback at the end of each lesson via a scoring metric system that allowed me to see what I still had to improve on, as well as what I was actually doing very well! Would recommend this Driving School to any new drivers - of all ages!

Expérience fantastique: Leroy was excellent. I left getting my full licence for far too long. I was anxious and embarrassed about it but Leroy helped me relax and gain lots of confidence to get driving confidently and sit a road test. Thanks for all the help and I would highly recommend a few lessons with him.

Expérience fantastique: I highly recommend Leroy as a driving instructor. He was detailed in his explanations and is a very knowledgeable instructor. He helped me feel at ease leading up to my driving exam and I was able to pass my Class 7 road test. He is also very prompt when responding.

Expérience fantastique: Leroy will teach you the absolute essentials that will guarantee a pass for your ICBC tests and will also give other advice that most other driving instructors won't. He is very attentive when it comes to evaluating your driving skills and will aid in overcoming your challenges with effective and memorable methods. On top of all that, he is very friendly, calm, and professional. Highly recommend him for the ICBC tests.

Expérience fantastique: I highly recommend Leroy for driving lessons. He helped me to feel confident in my driving skills and to be ready for my level 7 road test. Unlike many other driving lesson schools, Leroy responds to you promptly and professionally, and his hours are very flexible.

Expérience fantastique: I’m glad I found Leroy as my instructor. He helped me improve my driving skills which made me more confident. Also, the mock road test was a great experience for me. I passed my Class 7 (N) road test! Highly recommend

Expérience fantastique: Glad I availed of the 3-day package with New Horizons Driving School. Leroy is very professional and knowledgeable. I didn't feel pressured or stressed during the classes. He gives sound advice and tips on how to become a good driver. I would definitely recommend to others.

Expérience fantastique: Leroy was so amazing and helpful. He ensured that I walked away from each lesson confident and ready for the next. I passed my N with no problem! Leroy is encouraging and honest, and went out of his way to accommodate me. I would 100% recommend this driving school to anyone who asked. Thank you very much!

Expérience fantastique: I really enjoyed New Horizons Driving School. Leroy was my instructor, he was kind, helpful, and one of if not the best driving instructor I could have asked for. Thank you New Horizons Driving School and Leroy.

Expérience fantastique: It was my first time driving and Leroy was extremely helpful, professional, and patient with me. He went step-by-step and had memorable techniques for all the parking maneuvers so that it was incredibly easy to do them on my own. It also helped that he was previously an ICBC examiner, therefore, he knew everything that I should look out for. When he thought I was ready, we did a simulated road test and I could trust that I was getting an experience that was as close as possible to the real road test. I also really appreciated Leroy's responsiveness since most of the other local driving schools don't seem to have the greatest communication. Looking forward to booking with New Horizons again in the future to prep for my class 5 test.

Expérience fantastique: The TL;DR version of this review: If you get the chance to book with Leroy, do not hesitate to do so. He is hands down the best driving instructor (this is not hyperbole). I recently needed to retake my class 5 because it's been expired for over 6 years. So I booked a few sessions with different instructors from different places to get some driving practice before my road test. Leroy was 1 of the 3 that I booked and he is in a league of his own. I booked a road test prep and assessment with Leroy for 2 hours. I did a simulated road test on the PoCo route. I went on the highway after finishing up the PoCo route (side note, from my understanding the actual PoCo road test doesn't have a highway portion on the road test, but because I was doing my road test in Abbotsford we went on it). Afterwards, I did some driving in the Coquitlam/PoCo area and Leroy tested some of my general driving knowledge before finishing up. It was very well tailored to my specific situation and helped me quickly regain all of my driving "muscle memory" after having not driven for over 6 years. Before any of my driving sessions with the 3 instructors, I reviewed the "Tuning Up For Drivers" manual to make sure my knowledge was still up-to-date. During my review, I came up with some questions to ask the instructors to make sure my understanding was correct. Most of the questions were fairly straightforward, but I had a question about one of the bullet points in the parking uphill section of the manual. Leroy was the only one who even knew what I was talking about. One of the other instructors thought I was mistaken and told me to send him a screenshot of the manual (I sent him a link to the manual with the page number, but never got a response). The other instructor just kept answering my question with the question he thought I was asking (he wasn't actually listening to my question and kept talking over me when I tried to correct his understanding of my question). This is what really sets Leroy apart and why he's in a league of his own. He's actually competent at his job. He knows the materials and he knows how to communicate with others to help them understand it too. He took the time to actually listen to my questions and respond to what I was actually asking. He also provided tips about the actual road test and explained how it's marked. And he was the only one who was punctual and made it to our appointment on time. Leroy was professional, knowledgeable, and humble. His knowledge as a previous ICBC driving examiner really shows. Take it from someone who has multiple years of driving experience and has had multiple driving instructors to compare, Leroy should be your only consideration if you need a driving instructor.

Expérience fantastique: Leroy is a very professional, experienced, trustworthy instructor. I was nervous about teaching my daughter to drive and he taught her the basic skills and gave her confidence.

Expérience fantastique: Leroy was a fantastic driving instructor! His teaching tactics and feedback were very helpful and made me feel confident about taking the road test.

I highly recommend this driving school to everyone :)

Expérience fantastique: Leroy is an awesome driving instructor. I have had failed my drivers test three times before I took lessons from Leroy, and my personal experience with his lessons were very helpful to me. There were a lot of new things that he taught me that I had never heard of before which had made me fail in the past. Overall, he is a very knowledageable, professional driving instructor, who at the same time makes driving an enjoyable and stress free experience. Thank you Leroy, I am more confident than ever in my driving skills.

Expérience fantastique: I just completed lessons with Horizons, they where by far the best lessons I have had and in only 3 days I felt like I improved so much as a driver.

Expérience fantastique: Leroy was amazing. I'm usually quite nervous when it comes to new, especially dangerous things, so having a calm, knowledgeable, and friendly instructor like him was the greatest help imaginable.

Expérience fantastique: Leroy did an excellent job of teaching me everything I need to know to pass my road test. He communicates very effectively while also having a kind and friendly attitude.

He was calm, never got annoyed or lectured me about what I did wrong and this helped improve my confidence as a driver.

Expérience fantastique: Mr Leroy is a superbly professional driving instructor, with a lot of experience in the field. Not only did our daughter pass her N test in flying colours, we as parents learned some new tips on driving and parking!

Expérience fantastique: Leroy is an amazing driving instructor. I did not have any driving experience at all before joining the school, and by the time I finished my lessons I've become an amazing driver if I do say so myself. My experience was really great and had lots of fun learning to drive and having really great conversations. I highly recommend this driving school to anyone who's never driven before.

Expérience fantastique: Leroy is an amazing driving instructor. He has a lot of experience with being an instructor and a road test examiner so you know that the tips he is giving are accurate and very helpful. He has a very calm approach and he helped me feel a lot more confident going into my road test.

Expérience fantastique: Leroy is an Amiable, constructive and professional teacher. Upon first meeting him i could tell i was going to be in a relaxed environment whilst learning. He is very good at defusing any stress while actively giving you help and guidance. He goes above and beyond by giving you tips and tricks that are insanely helpful, you just have to be actively listening an be alert, as any driver should be, which is in and of itself a good lesson. He is a teacher truly worth his salt. Our final lesson was bittersweet as i had honestly enjoyed learning from him and his many interesting life stories. 10/10. -Tom Vaclavik

Expérience fantastique: You won’t regret having Leroy as your instructor. I am grateful to have had him teach me. He is professional, patient, and well prepared. You will be receiving quality and good value from his services. I always looked forward to my lessons with him. Thank you Leroy, I passed my road test because of you.

Expérience fantastique: Leroy's way of teaching is very straight forward but effective. He communicates clearly and professionally. He is friendly and easy going, which makes the drive less anxiety provoking. He is also very organized and prepared for the day. Other than these, there were two things that stood out to me that I never seen other instructors do: mock driving exam, and written progress note! I thought that was really helpful as well as impressive. It just shows his professionalism and love for the job and his students!

Expérience fantastique: Leroy is an exceptional driving instructor. After 3 sessions with Leroy I quickly saw how he outclassed all my other instructors by a wide margin. He was the first instructor to give me a proper mock road test (marking sheet and all). Leroy helped me feel more comfortable in my car and increase my confidence in my driving abilities. Overall, I can not reccomend Leroy highly enough for his professionalism, quality of teaching, personality and patience.

Expérience fantastique: Leroy is a great instructor. Not only do you notice how much experience he has, he knows how to teach and makes the whole experience enjoyable at the same time. Learned a lot and highly recommend New Horizons.
