I can't thank Alex enough for helping me pass my Road Test Class 5 exam. For those of you who are still hesitant about it, I would highly recommend you to try Alex as your driving instructor and make an opinion about him for yourself. Being an instructor myself, it was not easy finding the right person to teach me; however, I am glad that I found Alex from SenSen Driving School. Alex lessons are highly personalized. Being a driver myself, I had two fears namely the reverse stall parking and parallel park. I was using my own style and was never getting it right. Alex devised a simple formula and strategy that you must follow step by step and voila, this was easily mastered. Another thing that I highly recommend you all is his blog! As Alex says, "you have all answers for your exam on the blog". Read it, read it, read it and take lessons with him, it all connects well and help you more while driving. Whether you take his lessons at 08:00 am on a Sunday morning or at 5:00pm on a weekday, he is full of energy and passionate about teaching you the right way to drive in BC, Canada= as I say, the ICBC way. He spots every single mistake you make on the road and uses logic and humor and devise the best strategy for you to remember it and master the required driving skill. For example, when I did a mistake on the road, he mimics my mistake and by doing that I understood the gravity of the mistake, then he did it the ICBC way and sometimes he also showed me the blog and the ICBC driver's manual to complement my understand. Then I made another attempt and mastered that particular element. From my observation, he quickly adapted his style to the way I learn best in this case-experiential learning. Other strong assets of Alex are he is patient, punctual and professional and he prepares you for the exam, with an ICBC checklist of what they mark you on exactly. I also took the road test package that he offers, and I highly recommend that. That 45 min warm up before your test, he really iterates all your mistakes that you normally do and help you above and beyond and remind you not to do them on the road test. Apart from the mistakes, he tells you and coaches you everything that you might miss and help you prepare better for the exam. Also, he gives you the full support and above all he believes in your skills, so if Alex says you are ready, then definitely you are. To everyone reading this, I highly recommend you to try Alex driving lessons, you wouldn't regret it and you will feel more confident behind the wheel. Warm Regards, Mona, B. read more

Passed my N test today on the first try (though a lot of SenSen's students do that)! I cannot recommend SenSen enough! Excellent pricing, easy to schedule, friendly and approachable staff, and the way they teach can't be beat. I got into some car accidents as a kid so was super terrified when I started out, but right when I got in the car with Alex his laid back, yet professional, demeanour totally put me at ease. He's always watching everything that you're doing and that's happening around you, yet is able to joke and converse as he does it. The teaching style is intuitive, friendly, funny, and he constantly checks to make sure you fully understand what you're being taught. There is an economy of words when new things are explained that makes everything clear, simple, and achievable. No time is wasted. I know for a fact I would not have passed (especially on my first time!) without SenSen. I was recommended by a friend and now I'm recommending all of mine! read more

What makes SenSen Driving School amazing is its owner Alex. Alex displaces his genuine care for his students not only to pass but to stay safe on the road. I took my N Road test with him and passed on my first try. For my Class 5, I took 2 lessons and passed on my first try as well. I can't stress enough of how well Alex conducts his lessons. He makes it very enjoyable to learn, he's no ordinary instructor. I saw Alex after 2 years from passing my N and we picked off right where we left off. A conversation we had 2 years came by like we saw each other yesterday. Choosing Alex as your Driving Instructor is probably the most smartest move you can do as a new driver. Alex is SenSen Driving School, without him its not the same. Not enough words to describe the experience you get with Alex, I was left completely satisfied just like all his other students. To safe driving and laughs! Cheers! read more

Great instructor!!! Alex helped me pass my "N" and I'll be returning to do my class 5. I took some lessons from a random driving instructor on craigslist in the past but I felt pressured into taking my road test and failed. Alex helped me get over my fear of driving. When I was worried about passing my road test (for the second time) but he reassured me that I would pass without any issues. I live in Vancouver but did my road test in Burnaby and passed!! Alex was very patient and let's you know where improvement is needed. Also, his vehicle had double steering wheeled so it made me feel safer. He always made me feel comfortable and never made me feel me feel pressured to do something that I wasn't ready for. I would recommend SenSen driving to anyone. Thanks, Alex!!! I'll see you soon for my "N". read more

Alex is truly amazing! I started taking lessons with him 3 months ago and with just 11 lessons I was able to pass my N test on my first try. He has some really great ICBC tips and is extremely patient. He is also very friendly/funny but can be serious when needed (great balance). Initially, I chose SenSen Driving School because of the payment flexibility, because unlike other schools, you can pay per lesson instead of paying all up front. But I can say I definitely continued to take lessons because of Alex's great teaching style. I will be referring all of my friends to Alex - I highly recommend others to take lessons with him! read more

Alex is marvelous and so professional! As noted by other reviewers, he has a great sense of humour combined with seriousness. I was nervous at the beginning and almost immediately relaxed which allowed me to feel more confident. I've had my Class 5 for 20 years but hardly driven since moving to Vancouver and using transit. His lesson was key for me to start feeling comfortable driving in Van with a newly heightened sense of safety and in general just good driving habits. I had booked the lesson to learn parallel parking and got plenty more than that. Super awesome. Can't recommend him enough. Thank you Alex! read more

Referred by a friend 3 years ago, when I had just received my L. At that time I was unsure and scared of the road. Thankfully I had Alex to teach me! Successful on my first try for my N licence. Now, almost 2 years later I enlisted the expertise of Alex to prepare for my full class 5 test. From his wit and cool calmness as an instructor he kept classes fun and informative and always emphasized on being safe and confident. Today on my first try at the class 5 road test I was again successful to my delight! I am truly thankful for the skills that I have learned from Alex and can confidently drive! read more

I passed by N road test yesterday, and truly credit Alex for helping me be prepared and confident! Having previously taken lessons with another driving school, I can sincerely say that there is no comparison, and Alex's professionalism, friendliness, clear communication and detailed feedback is unparalleled. I am looking forward to continued lessons with Alex in order to develop my highway driving skills. I would not hesitate to recommend SenSen Driving School to friends, especially those like me who are beyond their teen years and are nervous drivers. read more

Alex is the best out there. I've had previous instructors where they would just tell me to drive and that was that, but with Alex he actually corrected and made sure I knew what and why I was doing what I was doing. he's very reliable and patient but strict when needed. also he knows if ur going to make a mistake before it even happens. Alex did an amazing job with making sure I was comfortable and not stressed when it came closer to the day of my N exam. moral of this is that Alex is the best and a very good instructor 100/10 would reccommend read more

With Alex teaching you, you will definitely pass the test. Not because you "know what will be on the test" but because you have become a stronger, safer driver. It's also important to know how to ensure your safety around other drivers (other drivers that are simply not as safe, and could use some SenSen lessons of their own), and this is something Alex excels at! I did not have a lot of confidence going in, and found other drivers very intimidating. Now I have the tools I need to keep myself safe out there! Thanks Alex. read more

Driving in Vancouver can be a bit overwhelming if you come from another country with slightly different traffic rules, so even though I had driven for some time in small cities in Brazil, I knew that I had to take some driving lessons before I went for my class 5 road test, in order to get my BC license. Thanks to Alex's very detailed explanations, patience, corrections and encouragement I learned and re-learned a lot and was able to pass the road test on my first try. read more

I'm new to Vancouver and just moved here 6 to 8 months back. I was attempting to get my class 5 license. Daniel was a likable instructor from the very first class. I had no idea about the rules of driving in Canada, and he really helped me understand the rules. He also went beyond the rules when he taught and made sure we knew the reasoning behind all the rules. I took just five classes and I was able to pass on my first attempt. Thank you Daniel! read more

I just passed my N road test this morning on the first try. After 12 lessons with Alex, I felt confident and ready to take the test and also felt safe on the road. Alex is a patient and knowledgeable instructor; he uses a strategic approach and humor to teach you exactly what you need to know to be safe on the road. I cannot recommend SenSen Driving enough! He will get you ready for the test and teach you skills that will last! read more

Alex is professional, courteous and an excellent communicator who teaches new drivers in a calm manner that quickly puts them at ease. We paid for Alex to do driver training with our daughter. He picked her up on time, quickly developed a good rapport, taught excellent driving skills and helped her succesfully pass the N drivers test. I would not hesitate in recommending Alex for all levels of those wanting to learn how to drive. read more

I had one 1.5hr class with Alex and I passed my Class 5 driving test on the first try. I'd actually recommend having two classes, as I was incredibly nervous during my test. Even if you already have driving experience (I've been driving for 10 years). He knows everything there is to know about the test and what to expect, so ask lots of questions! He is quite strict, but I found that was very helpful once I was taking the test. read more

Passed my N yesterday on the first try as per many of SenSen's Driving students. I was not sure that i was going to ever be able to achieve this, let allow on the first try. Alex is a fantastic teacher who is patient and consistently offers feedback to help you along. The pricing is excellent, he is easy to book and scheduling is convenient. What more could you ask for?! I highly recommend SenSen's driving services. read more

Alex helped me gain a lot of confidence in driving.  Although, he is strict and stern, there is a clear passion when he is teaching people how to drive. He will show you how to drive for the road test. And he isn't afraid to show you what you did wrong by copying exactly what you did. He gives constructive feedback during each lesson. I would recommend him as an instructor for driving in a heartbeat. read more

Passed my road test on my first try with Alex's help. He got me there from having never been behind the wheel before in under 24 hours of total driving time. Lessons were a strong combination of relaxed conversation with a focus on learning and drilling past concepts. Price is great and timing is flexible, although do make sure you book far ahead of time as timeslots fill quickly - for good reason! read more

I took classes with Alex to prepare for my class 7 road test, and the classes were very helpful for me to learn and improve my driving skills. Alex is a fun but strict instructor, and his teaching style fit my learning needs really well. Thanks to classes with him, I have passed my road test on the first try. I am happy with that and would recommend him as an instructor! read more
