I had gone to MBA driving school on Broadview and Danforth and found it awful!!! The in class…read moredriver and the in car driving instructors were highly unprofessional; one farted in the car! and the other stopped for a hog-dog stand while making me read some stuff I already knew (to give himself time to eat). So ...I sent my daughter to YD of Canada and what a difference!!! I then booked my G2 road test course with Pape/ Danforth YD of Canada and learned what I hadn't in just two lessons!!! By the end I was so good! Ivan Ivanovic was a great instructor... I passed my G2 road test with 92% on the very first attempt!!! The only thing I don't care about is the fear approach, my daughter was already too cautious a driver and after been exposed to images in class and some of the talks, she was even more afraid to drive. That might be a good approach for most teens, but it can also be a detriment for the over cautious one.

The in class part of the program was as positive as could be expected. while I feel that we could…read moreaccomplish the same amount in less time, that is a government mandate, and not the choice of yd. The instructor was engaging and knowledgeable.

Amir was my instructor. I highly recommend this driving instructor…read more Hmmm... what can I say? Parallel parking? check. Three- point turns? Easy. Lane changes? passed with flying colours. I normally do not write reviews but I am compelled to do so with this entry. Amir is simply the BEST-- patient, intelligent, and knowledgeable. I passed my G2 on my first attempt. I have had other instructors in Toronto teach me how to drive, but not one of them match Amir's patience when teaching students road safety and advanced skills. Not only will he teach you valuable skills when it comes to city driving, but he will also boost your confidence when driving in busy roads and streets. Thank you Amir. I look forward to our G practice sessions together and passing my G in the near future. - written on 27FEB2019

Abid was my instructor. I have driven for some 30 years but at age 82 i needed to renew my…read morelicense. I thought i was good enough a driver, and was shocked that i failed my first road test a few months ago. In a hurry i looked into take lessons, and Abid became my instructor. Surprise and surprise, I found that my driving practice needed improved--a lot. And after about 2 months with Abid, i did improve and passed my test without much difficulty. I think Abid (1) is a first rate instructions. he spares no efforts to teach until his students know and observe all the safety rules. (2) He's diplomatic to a fault. (3) He gives praises at least as much as he gives corrections. As a result, the lessons became interesting rather than hard and dreary.

I had a very disappointing experience with AMB Driving School…read more We booked a G2 exit package that included lessons and a road test, and we clearly provided the test center location (37 Carl Hall Rd) from the beginning. At no point during booking or payment were we informed about any distance limit or additional travel charges. Just 2 days before the test, we were suddenly told that we had to pay extra because the location is "too far," referring to a 22 km limit that is nowhere clearly stated on their website or booking page. This lack of transparency and last-minute surprise fee is extremely unprofessional and stressful, especially when customers rely on these services for important tests. We even offered to meet the instructor closer to reduce the distance, but they refused to accommodate. Overall, very poor communication and hidden costs. I would not recommend this school unless they improve their transparency and customer service.

From beginning to end Shane was absolutely incredible. Very good with communication, very understanding of my nerves and how I needed to learn.

All around 10/10 experience...no need to look further Driving Skills Academy is truly the best of the best. Shane you are one of kind, you deserve all the praise, snacks, and whatever else keeps you going! The roads are more safe with a teacher like Shane. Cannot recommend enough, Thank you Shane!

My driving instructor was Vino, I can't say any good things about this driving school due to his…read morelack of professionalism for many reasons: 1. I work full time night shifts and I have a very busy schedule. Many times I try to schedule a set date and time with Vino, but all he can tell me is ex. "I'll call u on saturday around 3." Because he cannot give me a set time which is very inconsiderate.  2. When the saturday does come around I try my best to finish all my errands so when he does call me I am home, BUT he has either cancelled on me twice and very last minute, literally an hour before we were "scheduled."AND he is always 20-30 minutes late. 3. When the payment was fully made in class (and I can provide an invoice) I was promised a brand new honda but I would literally get picked up in Vino's old Mazda not a big deal but you cant pay for starbucks pricing and get mcdonalds. 4. When we did do the lessons Vino would sometimes call his gf and have a chat which is very unprofessional. 5. LASTLY, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT! We were done the lessons and I booked my g2 test  and told Vino the date and time as the in car lessons were finished and the course I paid for included the car for the test. Then he tells me, his car is broken and can no longer take me he didnt even offer to use another car or a refund on that part.  Honestly, this company is such a waste of money and for a person who makes an average income with bills etc 500$ is alot of money. I barely learned anything and I just went to a different school that got me my G2 the first time in vp and lawrence and will be doing my G with them. I'm not trying to ruin this company I'm sure Shane wouldve been better but  just stating my experience.

Hearing all the positive reviews about Shahid interested me in learning to drive with him, but boy…read morewas i wrong. 1) I paid for a 5 lesson package and he canceled one of my lessons and when we saw each other again, he tried to say I did one of the lessons already. 2) As a learner, we are all learning how to drive and each of us learn differently. When I made mistakes, Shahid would yell at me and put me down. He would compare me to others, say I'm driving like a Chinese person and would also diminish your confidence by bringing up previous mistakes. 3) When he booked my road test, I told him to book it on a Tuesday or Wed. He then decided to book it on a Thursday morning when that was not what I requested. 4) Instead of letting me work on the things I need work on, Shahid would continuously do the same things over and over again. He would make me do 3 point turns multiple times when that's one of my strong suits. 5) When I told him I was going to write a review about him after I pass my road test, he said, "you better write a good one" this means that he probably gets individuals who are good at driving to write him good reviews. 6) They charge way too much money for no reason. 292$ for 5 lessons is insane. They charge tax on everything for no reason. 7) Shahid will sit on his phone and watch instagram reels, call people or just fall asleep instead of teaching you. Of course he would deny that because lucky for him, there is no cameras in the car. Overall, please do not go with Shahid. The Other guys are pretty good, but this guy does not care about you or your driving; he simply wants your money. Go drive with someone who will give you the confidence needed to strive on the road. Good luck everyone!

I've just had my first in car class with Zak from Today's Driver Driving School. He was fantastic!…read moreSuch a friendly guy, very encouraging, and very helpful as well. He really knows his stuff and he's a terrific instructor. I was apprehensive as I had already been treated very badly by another driving school near me. The way I was treated by Zak, however, was the exact opposite. I really look forward to our next lesson. I'm only taking in car refresher classes so I can't speak to the way the rest of the program is run at Today's Driver but if my hour and a half with Zak today is any indication, then this school is definitely worth checking out.

Really mixed experience with Young Drivers. Lots I liked, but ultimately not worth the high asking…read moreprice PROS - good teachers and in-car lessons are thorough (residential, city and highway driving, mock-tests, emergency stops, safe space to train how to handle losing control of a vehicle) - the online course is too slow but very thorough: the repetition was grating, but now I'm driving, I can see its really helped good habits stick - when you call up to book/reschedule lessons, the staff are very helpful and clear CONS - they no longer come to your property to pick you up for lessons, unlike virtually every other driving school that charges half as much. You have to go to them, usually at some far flung gas station. This means I had to spend lots of money on taxis to get to my lessons. The idea that this is a "covid precaution" is nonsense - instructors do not mask, and they do not clean the car between lessons. I see nothing about this set-up that adds to anyone's safety. How is a busy gas station better than the driveway of my house? - once you complete the online course, you *cannot access the course materials ever again*. For the money you pay, it's insane that you cannot access it forever. Especially with graduated licenses, it makes sense to let me review material to prep for my G test. - beware that the promised discount to your insurance premium through learning via YD *is not always the case*. Not all insurers do it.

I don't have extended health benefits, so when I found out about Eight Branches, I hot tailed my…read morebutt there. Eight Branches has a teaching clinic that treats clients. Because it's a school, there is usually 3 people residing over your treatment (1 primary and 2 secondaries). You'll be asked a lot of questions about your health and any issues you have. They then leave for about 5 minutes deciding how to treat you. I teach yoga and if you can believe it, I get tight in my upper back (all those downward dogs), so sometimes I'll get a massage (Tuina, a chinese massage that is done over your clothes and feels amazing; cupping, which is a deep massage but if you love deep tissue massage, it's AWESOME!!! You will have marks on your backs though - they do fade; sometimes Shiatsu). They also do acupuncture (of course). They will also prescribe herbs if needed. The cost is $20 a session (the session is about 1.5 hours), but if you get a living green card, it's $15/session. Go...just go.

I've never gone for student treatments, just gone to see regular practioners at this clinic. i've…read moregone for both acupuncture and shiatsu massage. In which case, cost is more than student-run, but still very reasonable I think compared to many other places. The practioners there are excellent, so knowledgeable and intuitive and treat all sorts of issues. Very comfortable, professional, and relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend a visit, especially if you are struggling with some sort of issue and not sure what can be done about it. I think they can help or point you in the right direction.
