“Hello team,I wanted to write a quick note expressing my thank you to the Young Driver's instructors.I started my journey a few years back. Larry was my initial instructor, and I appreciated his teaching style greatly. I felt he gave me practical advice and his lessons were solid. Towards the end he sounded confident in my abilities. I moved at some point, and then Covid happened, so I never had the opportunity to complete my drive test with him, but I still apply and think about the skillset he offered me.I later took a lesson with another instructor meant to focus on road conditions - I believe they were either Ahmed or Armin. While the road conditions were too nice for us to practice on, I did get an excellent lesson on highway driving that helped me to identify and kick a few bad habits, making me a more confident driver. His attention to detail and focus on my strengths helped me to reaffirm my confidence.I've had opportunities to practice my driving in between and, as of yesterday, November 14 2023, I am now a fully certified G-class driver (with very few marks on my driving assessment). No retakes were necessary - one and done for each of the G1 and G2 exit exams - which surprised me, but ultimately I feel proud of that accomplishment!Please forward my thanks and appreciation to the instructors for their support-Derek McCabe”
“I have had a great experience with Young Drivers Toronto. My driving instructor was Norman, he was extremely patient and I have learned some valuable lessons from him! Their online course also has some quality content that you may not be able to get from other driving schools in the province or city, especially concerning being proactive to unanticipated problems on the road. Def recommend this driving school!”

“I had an amazing experience with Young Drivers! My instructor John was patient and helpful, and he was great company during our car rides. I passed the road test with ease because of his great teaching.”
