Excel Driving School

Expérience fantastique: Excel est une excellente auto-école et je la recommande vivement. Mon instructeur était Linda et elle était super serviable et vraiment gentille.

Expérience fantastique: Excellente expérience. Je recommanderais. Bosaina était une excellente enseignante.

Expérience fantastique: Une aide fantastique avec ma fille. Jackie a été très utile et a fait tout son possible pour nous soutenir.

Expérience fantastique: Karen était une excellente instructrice pour les leçons de conduite de mon fils. Elle a fait preuve de patience, de gentillesse et de connaissances exceptionnelles tout au long du processus. Grâce à son soutien, mon fils a réussi son G2 du premier coup. La capacité de Karen à instiller la confiance et à créer un environnement d'apprentissage confortable est remarquable. Nous la recommandons vivement !

Expérience fantastique: Je n'ai finalement pas réservé de cours de perfectionnement via Excel, mais je le recommanderais néanmoins à quiconque souhaite le faire. Linda a gentiment et régulièrement aidé à répondre aux questions liées à la conduite et aux tests par téléphone, et l'autre instructeur avec qui j'ai interagi était amical, courtois, compétent et compréhensif également. J'apprécie leur soutien et assistance à la clientèle !

Expérience fantastique: J'ai obtenu mon permis en seulement 3 cours, bon instructeur

Expérience fantastique: J'ai récemment obtenu mon permis de conduire G2, et je le dois entièrement à mon incroyable instructrice, Bosaina. N'ayant aucune expérience préalable de conduite, j'étais initialement nerveux à l'idée d'apprendre à conduire. Cependant, les méthodes d'enseignement patientes et efficaces de Bosaina m'ont rapidement mis à l'aise. En seulement sept cours, les conseils d'expert de Bosaina et ses instructions claires m'ont aidé à acquérir la confiance et les compétences nécessaires pour réussir mon examen G2 dès ma première tentative. Sa capacité à décomposer des manœuvres de conduite complexes en étapes faciles à comprendre a rendu l'apprentissage agréable et simple. Bosaina n'est pas seulement une excellente instructrice ; elle est vraiment investie dans le succès de ses étudiants. Son dévouement, son professionnalisme et son encouragement ont été décisifs dans mon parcours d'apprentissage. Je recommande vivement Bosaina à quiconque recherche un instructeur de conduite de premier ordre. Merci, Bosaina, de m'avoir aidé à atteindre ce jalon important!

Expérience fantastique: J'ai obtenu mon G2 grâce à eux. Excellente expérience avec Bosaina Apu !

Expérience fantastique: Bosaina était une coach incroyable. Elle a tellement d'informations qui ne sont pas de notoriété publique; expérience 10/10.

Expérience fantastique: I took my class training with miss Bosaina to get my G license and she was amazing! I wish I had instructor like her in another fields of my life. Super dedicated with clear and concise instructions. I really recommend her and the excel driving school! Passed on my first attempt thanks to her!

Expérience négative: Teaching new drivers to go 30 below the speed limit with a long line of traffic behind, then arrogantly clapping at people as they are finally able to get by. Good job Excel setting a great example

Expérience fantastique: I passed my G test at the first try. Bosaina was extremely helpful. I'll definitely reccomend her and Excel

Expérience fantastique: I would highly recommmend this driving school. They where able to accomodate me in practicing for my g test. Upon inquiring through their portal, I was prompty messaged by Bosaina as my instructor. They will give us adequate tips and strategies to pass the exam. Within 3 sessions I can say I am confident to take the test. My booking for practicing before practicing the exam gives me enough time to be confident. Tip: Just make sure to book with them first before booking your test to prevent cramming.

Expérience fantastique: I would highly recommend Excel Driving School. I was very lucky to have Linda Smith as my instructor, a kind, patient, friendly, professional person. She helped me develop all of my driving skills and perfected them. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for in person lessons. Thank you Linda :)

Expérience fantastique: Asim is the best instructor! He makes driving not only educational and safe, but also fun and stress free, totally recommend him!

Expérience fantastique: Wonderful experience, amazing service at a great price! If you’re looking into driving lessons look no further, excel is the best!

Expérience fantastique: Just passed my G road test. Excel is a wonderful driving school. Raj was my instructor and he was amazing. He knows the rules of the road so well. I'll recommend him to anyone.

Expérience fantastique: I had driving lessons with Linda Giesebrecht and I would recommend her to anyone starting driving lessons. She was very encouraging, and gave me confidence to drive. She was always on time and greatly helped with in passing both G2 and G test.

Expérience négative: The instructor doesn’t have the updated knowledge to teach. I did what he told me and failed because of his wrong instruction. He should not be qualified to be a driving instructor. I passed my full G in another driving school without any extra lessons.

Expérience fantastique: Excel is awesome and accredited by MTO. My son had Karen for his drive lessons. She was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend.

Expérience négative: I was referred to this driving school by one of my friends who had a great experience, I don't live in Kingston during the summer (completed my driving school in the GTA so I didn't necessary need multiple lessons) but I wanted to book my G2 test here so I reached out to one of their drivers through the phone number on google and I booked a lesson and the day of my G2 test. I was told how much it would be for those 2 lessons (one included the day of the test). And then I booked the test online ($53). The day of the lesson (the day before the G2 test) I asked if we could move the lesson as I had class, the driver couldn't and said you see you at 'said time' and I said ok no problem! I did not attend class for this driving lesson and 10 minutes past the time of the lesson I texted if he was close and he said 20 minutes away, I was fine waiting for him but then he said he had to cancel the lesson and he couldn't reschedule till the end of September, I then reminded him my G2 test was the next day and he said there was no way I could've booked that with him, and kept iterating that it never happened. Due to the fact that it was within 48 hours of the test I lost my $53 booking fee for the G2 test. I didn't ever pay the fee for my driving lesson/test day, however, it still was very inconvenient and I wasn't able to find another driver on such short notice. Please if you book through them get some type of notification/confirmation email or text.

Expérience fantastique: I passed my G Road Test! I found Excel Driving School to be reasonably priced. The stuff was friendly and helpful. My Driving Instructor was Tom. He was patient, professional, supportive, and informative. I highly recommend Excel Driving School.

Expérience fantastique: I had driving lessons at Excel with Linda Smith and I would 100% recommend her. She was kind, patient, encouraging, and made me feel comfortable every time I was in the car with her. She is always willing to answer questions and help you with anything you are unsure about. I would highly recommend Excel driving school to anyone who is looking to take lessons.

Expérience négative: Would give it a better review if they answer the phone... And when they finally do answer and ask u to wait for 10 minutes for a call back never call back unprofessional.

Expérience fantastique: I would highly recommend Excel Driving School! Gerry was an excellent teacher. He explained everything very well during the in class lessons and was engaging. My driving instructor Linda Smith was a phenomenal instructor. She was always patient, professional and just all around an amazing teacher! Always encouraging and I can tell she truly cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She went above and beyond to accommodate my sister and I with our busy schedules and even took time out of her own schedule when she was not supposed to be working to give me a lesson as I needed to have it rescheduled. I am very appreciative to Linda for all her help and it was a pleasure working with her! Thank you Linda!! And thank you to everyone at Excel for making this such a great experience for us!

Expérience fantastique: During the month of May, I attempted to contact multiple driving schools in the city, I have to say that Excel has the BEST response rate of all the driving schools in Kingston. I used email as my initial method of communication and I received replies within 1 business day from Excel. I scheduled my first lesson through email and the rest continued through texts. I took private lessons with Excel to prepare for my G road test and the process was A LOT easier than the previous driving school I attended for my G2. As I mentioned earlier, I scheduled my first lesson through email and provided my phone number for the instructor to contact me. I decided to purchase the 3-LESSON PACKAGE for $140 which was essentially 1 hour in-car lessons on 3 different days. Not only was that a reasonable price, my instructor Gerry was very knowledgeable on what I needed to improve on and how I can fix it. We did multiple mock tests on the 401 highway where the G Road Test route will be conducted and made many loops within the 1 hour duration. My lessons were scheduled once a week on weekday mornings. When I heard that road test bookings in Kingston were filling up fast, I booked my test prior to finishing my lessons. I should've notified Gerry ahead of time before booking the test since my lessons were typically booked a week in advance, but he was super kind and made accommodations to have in my 3rd and last lesson before my test date. Taking what I learned from Gerry and the pointers he gave, I SUCCESSFULLY passed my G Test on the first try and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Excel for road test preparations. The overall duration of my session with Excel was 3 weeks starting from the first lesson to my road test date.

Expérience fantastique: Excel Driving school gave me a experience I will never forget. The in class learning and driving lessons gave me a great chance to learn how to drive in the best way and I would recommend it to everyone. If you are looking for a place to learn how to drive this is it.

Expérience négative: Hard pass from me - tried booking lessons with excel and after 10 days of waiting I finally booked a lesson only to have my driver be a no show. Now I will likely have to re-book my exam as no other driving school in the area can see me in such a short time frame. Very upsetting from such a well reviewed school

Expérience négative: I took an hour-long lesson with Tom to prepare for my G2, during which he was grumpy and unclear in his instructions and suggestions. I also had to ask him to put his mask on when we were in the car together. It was useful to know what the course would be like, but otherwise, not useful.

Expérience fantastique: Excel driving school was an amazing experience for me. The in-class lessons were good, a decent mix between videos, worksheets and collaborative learning. The in-car lessons were fantastic. I had Linda Smith as my driving instructor and i couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. She was patient, well-spoken, professional, and she always tried her very best to calm my nerves as i am a very nervous driver. A big thank you to Linda and Excel driving school, i will recommend:) !

Expérience fantastique: I highly recommend Excel driving school . As a mature student with no experience the classes were very informative and Gerry was a great teacher. Linda was my driving instructor and she was extremely patient, supportive and professional. She went above and beyond to ensure that I was road worthy and ready for my g2 test. I passed first try ✔ thanks Excel driving school..especially Linda

Expérience fantastique: Great driving school! I completed lessons with Linda in December 2019 to prepare for my G2 test and I also completed an additional private lesson with her this March to prepare for my G test. She is an excellent instructor who gives clear instructions and is quick to answer my messages. I don’t remember who taught the in class portion when I did it but they did a good job of making it interactive and interesting. Good course to prepare for road tests and reasonably priced compared to some other driving schools!

Expérience fantastique: I can't say enough good things about this driving school! My in car instructor was Linda and she was amazing. She took through all 10 hours of lessons and then took me for a refresher lesson the day before my G2 road test, which I passed with flying colors! I never would have been able to do that on my own without the help of Excel. Learning to drive with them was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Keep up the good work guys and keep on making new generations of good, safe drivers.

Expérience fantastique: Gerry gave me a private lesson for my G road test and he was amazing. He's a great instructor, made me feel confident and calmly explained everything to me. Definitely recommend!

Expérience fantastique: My instructor, is Karen and she is one of the nicest people I have ever met. She makes me feel so confident about my driving and has helped me to become such a better driver

Expérience fantastique: Couldn't recommend this school more. In class lessons were very informative. Gerry laid things out in an easy to understand way. Linda was my in car instructor and she took me from being terrified to drive 40km/h in a residential area to taking on the 401 with ease. Tom took me out for one last lesson before my G2 and he is awesome as well. I passed my test with flying colours and I couldn't be happier! Thank you to the awesome staff at Excel, I couldn't have done this without you guys. :)

Expérience fantastique: After checking out many reviews on driving schools we chose Excel for our son. Highly highly recommend. Gerry (The owner) is great to deal with. Their payment plan is terrific as well. My son's instructor Tom was fantastic. He always showed up on time and let us know if he was running late. Highly recommend Excel Driving School and will be using them again for our daughter.

Expérience fantastique: Dave was my driving instructor & hands down the best one out there. Absolutely amazing.

Expérience fantastique: Gerry was an AMAZING instructor. He answered every single one of my questions and had the patience of a Saint. Very calm and friendly. I highly reccomend him! I owe passing my G road test to him. Thank you again Gerry!

Expérience négative: This was awful the instructor lied to me and told me I was able to book the car for my test. He repeatedly told me to « slow down » and slammed on the break while I was going 25 in a 40 zone. Waste of time and money. Edit: the owner's response to this is appalling, if I did not have a lesson with your company then I would like to be refunded the 40 dollars I payed. If I am not in your records then clearly someone is not keeping track of clients very well. Disappointed beyond belief.

Expérience fantastique: Response from the Owner: Our apologies to Andrea for her bad experience with Excel. We try our best to provide excellent service unfortunately we didn't in this case. I spoke to Audrey and yes she did respond late to Andrea's message but it was simply a case of forgetting to do it sooner which can be attributed to workload from our Beginner Drivers Ed course students that day. Since then we recognized the need for additional help and have hired another driving instructor to alleviate workload and hopefully free up more time to accommodate those looking for private lessons. Again our apologies to Andrea.

Expérience négative: I never got to take my lesson with this school because I coudn't even book a lesson. I needed a couple hours to practice right before my full G test, and got the number for Audrey directly. The only time I could actually talk to her, she was busy and said she would call me back a bit later. When she finally did call me back, it was so late at night, I had to let it go to voice mail. The next couple days I called several times, she never picked it up, or called me back. When I started texting with possible times, she replied in short messages, instead of picking up or calling back. This way we couldn't get any further. That's when I called a whole new driving school and booked :D The only reason I give 2 stars instead of 1, is because Gerry replied very quickly for my initial inquiry.

Expérience fantastique: Excellent instructors! I didn't have a car to practice with outside of driving lessons and still managed to pass the G2 road test on my first try. Highly recommend to everyone.

Expérience fantastique: I took a few lessons with Excel preparing for my final G test. My instructor Gerry, was very patient, approachable and an excellent overall instructor. I highly recommend this driving school, for their great prices, availability and amazing instructors!

Expérience fantastique: I took my beginner driver course there. The instructor was pretty helpful and knowledgeable. He helped me arrange my road practice time to fit my schedule, and the indoor course was fun as well. During my road practice, he always showed up on time and was very patient with me, though I didn't really make many mistakes. :P All in all, I am very happy with my experience with Excel Driving school.
