When I had only been driving for a few years, I got into a bad rollover on a gravel road and I've…read morebeen afraid of driving ever since. Now, I drive occasionally but fear my inexperience makes me more of a danger on the road. So I was nervous about my Class 5 road test, especially with only ten days to practice before the date. My sister got me in touch with Parmot and I immediately felt more at ease. Parmot knew everything about the test centre, the neighbourhood, and every point I would be evaluated on. He made me feel much more confident in my ability to pass the test. More importantly, he made me a better driver. He spotted all the bad habits I'd picked up from learning to drive without a qualified instructor. He got me started on replacing them with better ones--even though, of course, you can only do so much in ten days. I recommend Parmot highly for drivers who suffer with nerves or anxiety. he has a skill for recognizing when learners are getting stressed out and applying just the right amount of pressure to keep them improving without getting overwhelmed. Even when I sometimes struggled to catch certain words because of his accent, he was always patient and persistent in explaining the procedures until I understood them. Everything about the process was easy. Parmot accommodated my tight schedule by giving me five lessons in ten days. We started and ended each lesson at my address. The lessons were ninety minutes each but on many occasions, such as when we got stuck in traffic going out, he sacrificed more of his time to make sure I had trained the skills I needed to. On the day of the test, it was a Richmond blizzard! This was a surprise to everyone. The front desk clerk told us there had been a few no-shows that day by the time we arrived. Thanks to all my preparation and the confidence I gained with Parmot's guidance, I was able to keep a cool head for the test despite the curveball and I passed it with three minor notes. As I said to him, "I couldn't have done it without you."

Ellen is an amazingly incredible instructor! I have always…read morebeen a bit afraid of driving since I was 16, because I am relatively small by height and my visions are often blocked compared to average drivers. I have previously tried driving lessons with 2 other instructors, and while I had good experience, I could not understand how to drive (like finding reference point to centre my cars, understanding direction of my car, how to overcome my blindspots due to my height, understanding the car mechanics, anticipating situations to be a defensive driver, and growing the confidence behind the wheels). Being introduced to Ellen by chance was the best thing that happened! First thing first, Ellen and I get along. Ellen has a friendly demeanor to make students feel comfortable and welcomed, allowing students to open up about their concerns. Ellen is very patient and encouraging. She took the time to understand what I needed and where my weak spots are to target and mitigate in the driving process. She has her ways of helping students to understand driving, put the right checks in place to follow all the rules and be a safe driver, as well as drilling into students' mind various scenarios which could happen during driving allowing the students to become a more defensive driver. In essence, she is transferring her years of driving experience and knowledge to her students in every single lesson. She also puts in a lot of efforts to each and everyone of her students. In the process, students can feel that she really cares for you. I have now officially passed my road test and I am so excited! Thanks so much to Ellen! I am sharing my own experience here and making a recommendation. I know everyone has a different way of learning and a different experience, compared to me. But I can share that this was my journey and my experience in driving! Thank you Ellen!

*** WORST CLASS 1 DRIVING SCHOOL EVER *** for me This…read moreschool took over $12,000 for my Long Haul Class 1 and can not supply any driving hours Since October 12/21 I've only received 3 lessons I'm still owed around 60 hours, with them refusing any driving time or refund Both instructors hate each other, bickering constantly creating a lot of anxiety for students The only person that knows anything in that company is the driving instructor Jeremy He's great but unfortunately you don't get to stay with him Judy the owner answers the phone putting on a good front, but really just doesn't care once you pay It seems to be a regular thing to have upset students, failing their road test or just walking off screaming from their lessons in the parking lot Not only is the management neglectful and unwilling to resolve or accommodate any student issues but they just don't seem to care at all Truth be told they have no qualified instructors to work with them to let the crappy one of two go In my opinion the trucks are unsafe and in need of serious repair They were again getting evicted from their parking lot and from what I understand close to bankruptcy Needless to say they are for sale I would NOT recommend this company at all !!!
