I've had nothing but good experiences with Pro Driving School. Very reliable, great administrative team and very good instructors. Matilda, my driver instructor for my G2 road test which has been successfully passed, has been extremely patient, knowledgeable and supportive. She always provided feedback where required. And would ensure that anything that I felt uncomfortable or needed to be worked on was practiced throughout my lessons until it for better. I 100% recommend Matilda and the rest of Pro Driving School team. Thank you. Read Less

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience with Pro Driving School! My instructor, Matilda, was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She explained everything clearly and helped me understand the rules of the road even better, which made me feel confident behind the wheel. Thanks to her excellent teaching and encouragement, I passed my G2 test on the first try! I highly recommend Pro Driving School and especially Matilda to anyone looking for a supportive and skilled driving instructor. Read Less

I took several lessons with Matilda and was able to pass my G test on my first try. Having learned with multiple instructors before, I can confidently say that Matilda stood out because of her calm, patient, and encouraging teaching style. Her constant reminders and emphasis on the fundamentals - mirror checks, blind-spot checks, scanning intersections, and overall awareness helped these habits become second nature, and ensured I didn't overlook important details during the test. Truly believe her instruction played a major role in helping me pass, and I highly recommend this driving school and Matilda to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and effective driving instructor!

10/10 overall experience. I have just finished my course and received my G2 license. My driving instructor, Matilda (also the owner), was the absolutely amazing. She was always on time, very kind, gave very clear instructions, great communication, and very organized. Although she was a busy women, she was always very attentive during the sessions to provide the best instruction. She completely prepared me for my road test in every way possible. Pro Driving School is the way to go for top-tier driving instruction. Read Less

My mom's review: An outstanding driving instructor—patient, understanding, and clear in her explanations. She creates a calm, supportive environment that helps you feel confident behind the wheel. She never made me nervous or discouraged me, and her gentle approach was especially important to me as a 63-year-old learner. Thanks to her guidance, I passed my G2 on the first attempt, and later my G on the first try as well. My grandson also passed his G2 on his first attempt. Our results truly speak for themselves. I give her the highest possible rating and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, skilled, and encouraging instructor. Matilda, thank you. God bless you. Read Less

I recommend this driving school for everyone. Unfortunately before I know about this school, I went to another driving school, which I didn't like their teaching methods. But one of my friends introduced Mr. Elvern (instructor) to me and we just practiced for some hours which was very useful for me. I passed the test and got G2. I recommended this driving school to my wife and son. Thanks Elvern and Pro Driving School. Read Less

If possible, AVOID this driving school, I went to this driving school in early 2016, and am just now finding the right words to describe my distaste to this company. During the "20 hours" of class we had to do (I put 20 hours in quotations as I think my class got maybe 15 hours of in class lessons due to the teacher having to leave an hour after class started one day.. and never making the missed class time up) we spent most of the time watching Facebook dash-cam videos, or listening to the teacher bash how women drive -- when the class was mostly female. The teacher could barely speak English and had a VERY heavy accident making it nearly impossible to understand what he was saying sometimes. The only reason this in class time was decent was the Tim Hortons across the street. The ten hours of driving is a completely different story, my instructor never cancelled any appointments, she was never late, a complaint I've seen a lot, which I don't understand how, my instructor came to the high school I was attending at the time to pic me up after school, knowing the time that my school was over, I agreed to meet 20 minutes afterward so I was not rushed out of class, and didn't have to deal with after school high schoolers, my instructor knowing this would arrive 30 minutes early to our pick up location and be upset when I wouldn't be outside immediately, besides that, my instructor was very heavy on her brake, causing us to stop in the middle of flowing traffic for no reason - REALLY quickly - when learning how to go through roundabout's and going on and off the express way my instructor would grab the steering wheel and hold it so I couldn't move it unless she was - meaning I had no control of the car - She was good about bringing me around the drive test practice area, but on our final practice when she was suppose to test me she constantly laughed at me and put me down on every error I made asking me "what the heck is wrong with your head?" causing me to have to pull over (making a proper roadside stop facing downhill) and have an anxiety attack, that she laughed about and told me to continue driving. When I finished my classes it was late May, I was unable to take my G2 test until early September, meaning I had 3 months between my final "practice" and my test - this was due to her being busy in the summer... I was left on my own to book my appointment for my G2 with no instructions on how to do that. Truly, this school is not worth the time and energy, there are schools around KW for around the same cost that gives a better education and cars about the driver. I honestly get nervous driving around a Pro Drivers car when on the streets around here. Read Less

I would NOT recommend this driving school, and DO NOT get their Premium Package!(10-hr driving+20-hr in class). I paid for my package and took the 20hr in class in June and ended up finishing my 10hr driving by end of October! The instructor either ignore my text message or said that he was too busy. I know that it's a busy time for them but it's really unreasonable for me to wait for 4 months in order to have my driving lesson completed. Also, I texted the instructor saying that I really needed to complete the 10-hr driving since I wanted to get my G2 in October, and when I finally could have my second driving class by the end of September, the instructor said, "Wow are you telling me that you wanna get your G2 by October when you drive like that? I don't think so." It really blew my mind that he would say that when he was the one who "claimed" that he was too busy and wouldn't take me to drive. lol Also, he didn't take me to practise near the driving test centre. Stay away from this driving school, you can get better options. I want to add on that, after I commented, my instructor sent me a passive aggressive text message (the first time that he responded to me that quickly!) I really had a bad experience with them.

Great driving school! Instructors are caring and try very hard to make the material as interesting as possible with entertaining anecdotes and unique teaching styles. My in-class instructor was Very knowledgeable about everything driving. My in car instructor was Zamir who is a very warm hearted man and knows very well how to teach someone how to learn through experience. Good experience overall. *NOTE: I believe your experience will mostly depend on which instructors you receive for in-class and car training. There are many instructors there, so this review is only for the instructors that have taught me. Read Less
