We hired this instructor for my niece's driving lessons. After 24 lessons, she feels no closer to being ready for her license. The instructor’s teaching style was problematic; instructions were frequently unclear, and there was a noticeable lack of patience and support when she needed extra clarification or assistance. The absence of clear guidance made the lessons unproductive and led to unnecessary time and expense, preventing real progress. This teaching style may not be a good fit for students who require supportive instruction." Read Less

Ali was an absolutely amazing instructor and I couldn't have asked for someone better. I was so nervous to take lessons but he made me feel so comfortable and safe and I looked forward to seeing him every fortnight. He's the loveliest guy and was very patient with my ASD and anxiety. Thanks Ali! Read Less

I honestly can’t thank the team at Pinnacle Driving enough for the incredible support they gave me on my journey to getting my licence. From start to finish, the experience was nothing but positive, encouraging, and genuinely uplifting. A huge shout-out to Lisa, who was always just a phone call away. She was consistently so warm, helpful, and reassuring, and every conversation with her was an absolute pleasure. Having someone so approachable and supportive made such a big difference and really helped ease any nerves along the way. And an especially massive thank you to Alex, my instructor. Alex is hands down one of the kindest, most patient, and down-to-earth people you could hope to learn from. He explained everything so clearly, always stayed calm and encouraging, and truly has the patience and calmness of a saint. He made every lesson feel comfortable and confidence-building, no matter the situation. Thank you so much to everyone at Pinnacle Driving for your amazing support, kindness, and professionalism. I genuinely couldn’t have done this without you and will be recommending you to everyone I know ☺️🙏🏻 Read Less

My instructor for the first 8 lessons was Geoff. He was terrible: he raised his voice, was combative, and sought any excuse to make you feel bad. He would also gossip before the lesson, and I was too timid to call him out on wasting my time. I spoke to two other students who had similar experiences. My second instructor was Glenn. He was amazing: he was patient, explained the reason behind traffic rules, and in two lessons I was ready to take the driving test. Read Less

After a bad experience with a different driving school I decided to go with Pinnacle. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made as I managed to get my license in a very short period of time with Pinnacle.
