I wanted to share my experience with iDrive Driving School regarding my son's lessons…read more His first session was a very positive experience. The instructor, Coach Michael, was calm, patient, and supportive, which really helped build my son's confidence behind the wheel. We continued practicing at home and were making great progress toward completing his required driving hours. Unfortunately, the last two lessons were a completely different experience. The instructor, Toya Phillips, was assigned for both sessions, and her approach was extremely concerning. My son shared that she was impatient, raised her voice, and was overly critical rather than supportive. During one lesson, while practicing parking, she became frustrated when he didn't perform the maneuver correctly and spoke to him in a harsh and discouraging way. As a result, his confidence has significantly declined, and he is now experiencing anxiety behind the wheel and does not feel ready to take his driver's test. I was also very troubled to hear that she told my son another student had become so upset during a lesson that they got out of the car and refused to continue. That alone raises serious concerns about her professionalism and teaching style. In addition, my son has ADHD, which was disclosed at the time of enrollment. This makes patience and clear, supportive instruction even more important--unfortunately, that was not our experience. I attempted to contact the school on two separate days and left messages but did not receive a response. Had there been communication and a resolution offered, I would have preferred to handle this privately rather than leave a public review. As I prepared to write this, I also noticed that Toya Phillips has been mentioned in other negative reviews, which suggests this may not be an isolated issue. At this point, I am requesting two additional driving sessions with Coach Michael, as he was professional, patient, and truly made a positive impact on my son's learning experience. Driving instruction requires patience, professionalism, and the ability to build confidence in new drivers. Based on our experience, I do not believe Toya Phillips should be working in this role.

Unfortunately, my experience with the behind-the-wheel lessons was extremely disappointing. Because of limited slot availability, I had to take lessons with two different instructors. During my second lesson, instructor Nadeem Qureshi focused more on questioning my prior experience than actually teaching me. I explained that, since I am over 25, I had already completed the MVA-recommended practice hours, along with some previous driving experience in my home country. Even so, a large part of the lesson was wasted before I was finally allowed to drive. Throughout the lesson, he repeatedly told me I needed more practice and suggested I book private lessons with him. After that class, he even told the receptionist that I should not continue without private lessons first. I declined and kept my final scheduled lesson. In the last lesson, it felt like he had already decided not to recommend me for the MVA test. I was marked as failed and pressured to pay for an additional private lesson costing $85. I also found some of his remarks disrespectful and inappropriate. I later complained to Mr. Husain, but I did not feel my concern was properly addressed. I was told I failed because I did not do enough head checks before lane changes. A driving school should guide students, correct mistakes professionally, and help them improve. My experience felt more like pressure to purchase extra lessons than genuine instruction. Because of this, I cannot recommend iDrive based on my behind-the-wheel experience.

After the first hour, they had a 30 minute break and then after another 30 minutes of instruction, Ms. Khan told them they would have another 30 minute break. My son told me that Ms. Khan specifically reminded them to return at 3:29 to not be late, and thats exactly what my son did. When my son returned to his computer after this 2nd break, he received a message that the admin removed him from the class because the break was only 15 minutes and he was not present. We called the office to ask about the situation and they said that he would not be able to attend the course and would have to reschedule the entire course again for another session. I do not think that we should have to go through the inconvenience of being removed from class and forced to reschedule because my son correctly followed the instructions given by his teacher. Aside from that, I pay for 30 hours of instruction (3 hours every day for 10 days) and do not pay for 2 hours 30 mins instruction with 45 mins of break. I am happy to let my son stay on zoom longer if that means he gets 3 hours of instruction with 30 mins to an hour of break. We got a refund and will not be coming back.

Ridiculous inconsistent rules and blatant bias when interacting. Overall a disappointment !!! Will report to MVA as well.

Pro or cons depending on your point of view: - School has a dress code but the teachers don't enforce it. Lots of students running around with headphones on and using their cell phones during class time. - Need to smoke? Just step outside and when you are done, just throw your butt on the ground, no worries. - When the students return from lunch, you can often get a contact high from all the pot smokers. In my opinion this is a great school, and if you have discipline you can learn a lot. You get what you put in for sure. With that said, it would also be easy to screw off and graduate with nothing but debt also. That's my two cents, take it for what it's worth.
