RICKS DRIVING SCHOOL REVIEWS

On behalf of my family I would like to thank friendly ambassadors of Rick's Driving School for your help, understanding and high professionalism. Our special thanks to Tracey! Tracey, no doubt, School must be proud of you. You may ask what you did:-) You have just shared all your knowledge, tips and tricks, my wife had to be aware of prior to her G exam. You have made her feel confident and, believe me, upon completion of that lesson my wife was so reasonably confident! You made what I was trying to do within the last few months just in one lesson. You may say, that is ok, but this is about your talent and not everyone can do what you did :-). Our warm regards to your Administrators. They reacted quickly and connected us with Tracey within a very few days. That was great and super helpful! Again, thanks a lot Team.

Wonderful experience with Rick’s Driving School. My instructor took extra care to ensure I was well prepared for my driving test. Very professional and lots of great tips. I’ve already referred others and will continue to do so. Thank you Ryan and Rick.

Nick is by far One of the Best Driving Instructor's you Could Hope For! I had an Amazing Experience Learning and Passed my Test First Try.

PAULA'S DRIVING SCHOOL REVIEWS

Paula is fun and relaxed and easy to talk to but more importantly, she tells you what you need to know. I definitely would not have passed my test without her input. Also, she could have easily convinced me to book more time with her but she didn’t do this - she said ‘you know what to do - now you just need to practice.’ I'd recommend her to any friends or family needing lessons. Excellent experience.

Paula is an amazing driving instructor! She is very patient and made sure I always felt comfortable during my time with her! She was able to work with my busy schedule to plan lessons and helped me pass my G2 test! I will forever recommend Paula’s Driving School to everyone.

Paul did an amazing job teaching my daughter how to drive properly with ease and with more confidence! She was very comfortable taking lessons. I would highly recommend anyone to take your lessons with Paula’s driving school.

ON-TRACK ORILLIA DRIVERS ED. REVIEWS

Tamara is the absolute best! When I found her I had done some lessons with another instructor but still felt quite nervous. She really catered to my needs, matched my pace and taught me in a way that not only worked for me, but made me look forward to our lessons! She helped me feel completely comfortable driving and have confidence in myself. I passed my G2 on my first try! I cannot thank Tamara enough for all she did for me and for believing in me :).

I don't typically write reviews but Tamara is just an amazing instructor and deserves all the stars. She booked my lessons pretty fast, was very accommodating when I needed to reschedule a lesson and once I finished all my lessons she quickly got me certified so I could book my road test. Showed me many tips and tricks and prepared me for my G2 test that I passed first try. I would highly recommend her services to new or experienced drivers alike. Big thumbs up Tamara and many thanks again.

I just completed my g2 test in my first attempt thanks to On-Track driving school! Nick was my driving instructor and he’s definitely a natural teacher with the patience needed in these lessons. I couldn’t be more thankful for Tamara and Nick! Thanks again.
