Reviews of First Class Driving School (Driving School)

Maddy Divinski

Freddie made me feel comfortable from the moment I got into the car. The lessons were enjoyable and also informative. He taught me everything I needed to know for the test which allowed me to pass the very first time.

I had one driving lesson with Karmela from First Class Driving School, and I learned so much within the span of one hour. I was practicing for my G test and Karmela made me feel at ease while giving me valuable tips about driving. I liked how she started out with a mock G test so that she could assess my strengths and weaknesses. I went for my G test today and passed. I am grateful to Karmela for her help and recommend her highly as a friendly and excellent driving instructor!

Megan Rae

I just finished my in class lessons with Farnas and now have him as my instructor for in car lessons. I had my first lesson yesterday and it went really well! I felt comfortable in the car shortly after starting to drive and any nervousness was gone by the end of the lesson. Would definitely recommend this school.

Kept forgetting to write a review for this school, but I must say that Karmela is an excellent instructor! In October, I went with this school due to a bad experience with a different one just one or two days after Thanksgiving. She is very helpful, nice and I learned a lot from her than I did with the previous driving school I attended. I wish I had enrolled with this school in the first place. She cares and makes sure you're not nervous while driving. Go with this school/Karmela for sure!!

I had an excellent experience with first class! In class was great and felt very relaxed. I didn't feel intimidated getting behind the wheel. Karmela helped prepare me and was very funny and friendly. In car with with Freddy was awesome. I felt very prepared for my road test; which I passed on the first try because of all of Freddy's tips and advice. Freddy was very accommodating with my schedule, and I definitely did not feel anxious behind the wheel with him. Thanks for all the help!!

mariagligic

I can honestly say that I am extremely pleased with this driving school. Karmela taught in the class room and was also my teacher on the road. She made me feel comfortable and in control which gave me a great deal of confidence. I actually felt like I was learning something new every day and that my money was well spent. Karmela made driving school fun and informative at the same time. I have already recommended this driving school to others and will continue to do so in the future.

Had in car lessons with Ferdinand in preparation for my G2. The week of my examination I was extremely nervous , but with his patience and clear instructions I was able to overcome my fears and was able to pass my G2 on first take. I'm grateful for his help.Highly recommended.

Lauren Drambis

Currently taking this course at the Stoney Creek location. Our content instructor, Karmela, is incredibly knowledgeable and clear in her instruction. The depth of knowledge and variation in content delivery is absolutely fantastic. Looking forward to meeting my driving instructor. 10/10 would recommend to a friend. Edit: I have now completed my in-car driving with another one of their instructors. Great teaching style, flexible hours for lessons and very friendly.

Nina Cura

Had a great time. My driver instructor was very informative and helpful, his name is Frieddy. Got my G2 license on the first try.

Jada B

The classes were very informative and easy to understand. They were very well animated by Karmela, who kept the classes interesting and fun. My in car driving sessions were done with Eman. 10/10 would recommend her as a driving instructor. She is very patient and helpful. She’s very flexible with her schedule and will do anything to accommodate yours. It’s very evident that Eman truly cares about each and every one of her students! Thanks to Karmela and Eman’s help, I passed my G2 on the first try!! I strongly recommend this driving school to any new drivers!!

Emma Jamieson

Had such a good experience doing private lessons with Debby. She made me feel so comfortable, after failing my g2 the first time with another Driving school, she helped build my confidence and I passed with flying colours on my second attempt. Couldn’t be more thankful!!!!!

WeAreRebirth

Great place my instructor Farnas was a very good and patient instructor, he made sure I knew my mistakes told me how to fix them, and encouraged me all the way through. Would definitely recommend this place to a friend! ~Yemi

Benjamin Sehl

I had a great experience with First Class Driving School. I greatly recommend it as the people are very helpful and polite. My driving instructor Freddy was very good and I felt very comfortable with his lessons. He helped me prepare for the road test, which I passed, and I felt extremely confident going into it thanks to the lessons.

Cole Astle

Freddy is a terrific instructor and helped me pass my test with flying colours!

The instructors both in class and on the road were so comforting. I had bad anxiety when driving and they help me get through it. If it wasn’t for them I never would’ve got my g2.

Susan Gautreau

I passed my g2 on first try. Thank you to First Class Driving School and Shantha who was my in car driving instructor. Great start for anyone looking to go for their license. Thank you again. I highly recommend this place.

Desiree Fitchie

I had an amazing experience! I highly recommend Freddy! He is extremely patient, kind, and fun to learn from! He showed me many valuable lessons, and helpful tips and tricks! Couldn't have asked for a better instructor!

Faouzi Belhadj

I had a great time with my instructor Fernas , very punctual and extremely knowledgeable , with his excellent teaching skills ( calm , building confidence ...etc ). In a short time, he taught me all the driving techniques and corrected my bad driving habits , and he showed me all what I needed to pass the driving road test from first time. If you want to pass your road exam on first try , aim for the best prepare for the test and go with Fernas , I recommend taking his car to the driving exam for better familiarization with the testing area and get valuable pre-test tips. Furthermore , go for 4 days in class, no matter how knowledgeable and experienced you are , you will definitely learn new things with Karmela and Fernas.

In class was nice, and afterward my instructor/driving times were scheduled pretty much the moment I called. My instructor was great! Always showed up on time, or even a few minutes early. He was a really nice guy, informative and answered any questions I asked.

First Class Driving School was a great experience for me. The price was very reasonable. The in-class and driving instructor, Freddy, taught me everything I needed to know. His instructions were clear and helped me pass the test with a 100% score. I am very grateful for his help and recommend him and the school to everyone.

Porsche Le

I usually don't write reviews but Freddy at this driving school was literally the reason why I passed my G test. He was very friendly, helpful and very accommodating. He made me feel very comfortable while driving and made sure I knew the important details in order to pass the test. I couldn't be more grateful for his help. 100% would recommend to anyone.

Ziyoda Sh

Thanks to Miki and Carmela for successful completion of my G2! They are both wonderful and supportive instructors. Couldn’t ask for more, thank you!!

Jemilla Mills-Smith

They were really good! The in-class portion really helped me to understand my restrictions and limitations, and the guidelines I should follow. The in-car driving portion was also really good, because they always corrected your mistakes, gave you some breathing room to get used to everything, and made your driving experience safe.

I had a great experience with First Class driving. In class lessons were very informative and prepared me well for the in car lessons. My instructor was Freddy and he is amazing. He is very informative, calm, he will take all his time to make sure you can be the best driver possible. I'm very thankful for his tips and help, it helped me pass my G2 on my first try. I would recommend First Class driving school, and Freddy as the driving instructor to anyone without hesitation. Thank you for such a great experience.

Hasi

First class driving school is fantastic! I highly recommend everyone to this school because the staff is super friendly, funny and educate you about the road very well. My driving instructor was Najam and he is one awesome instructor! I used to be anxious driving on the road but Najam fixed that and helped me learn a lot during my hours of driving with him. I will be getting my G2 next week and I am very confident thanks to Najam.

My Profile

Freddy was great. I had my G2 test scheduled 5 days after I called him, and he managed to fit me in somehow. I had driven a car at all in two years, and not much before, but he managed to get me confident after only a few lessons. Unlike the vast majority of driving instructors in the area, his English was very clear, I had no issues understanding him. He was really good at explaining things in a clear relaxed way, even while we were rushing though the lessons and I was distracted by driving.

Olt Sokoli

Thank you Freddy for all the time and effort that you spent in teaching me in class and how to drive. You lessons were always understandable even when I gave you a really hard time..You were patient and always ready to give answers all my questions ,and that's way I got my G2 with the first time you are great instructor. Good luck for the future ????

Marianna Sale

I passed my G test today! For both my G2 and G I took lessons with Farnas and I can't thank him enough, very professional, knowledgeable and experienced driver and instructor, patient and easy going, always on time; I 100% recommend this school!

Z Abed

Absolutely awesome! Karmela really genuinely cares about her students, she made me feel like her daughter. Love Caramela and recommend her.

Alexis Taylor

The in class lessons were very informative and interesting. My in car lessons were with Shantha. I learned a lot and I was well prepared for my G2 road test. Overall a great experience, I definitely recommend.

Morgan Rich

Great school, great teacher!

I Was There

I just practiced in my city for 4 days only before the test day because I need to take the test really urgent and sadly I have to take the test in Hamilton (which is different from my city and different car too). Luckily, I have my instructor from First Class Driving School who is Mohammed Chowdhury to help me with some refresh hours before the test. He is so understanding, so patient and so helpful in everything to help me practice and review everything. This helps me pass my G2 test at my first time and as I said, it is really urgent to me to take the test. I am so grateful for everything he did for me and for all of his advices and all of his encouragement too. I highly reccommend him to anyone want to pass their road test! Thanks so much!

Jess

This review is based on the in-class portion of Driving School (which we can all agree is boring), but Karmela was a blast to have as a driving school teacher. She made class more enjoyable and she's hilarious! She really helps you understand the importance of driving. Absolutely will miss her! Update: Shantha was my driving lesson instructor. He is absolutely great as well. I was nervous, but he made sure to make me feel safe, comfortable, reassured me and encouraged me. He let me know what I did well and what I needed to improve on; he was super kind! And made sure that if I wanted to practice more, we would keep focusing on that one thing until I felt I was ready to move on. He kept encouraging me to have that mindset of "I can do it!" Really satisfied with my experience here!

Patrick McCulloch

Amazing in-class experience with Karmela, and awesome in-car lessons with Freddy. Highly recommend this school to drivers!

Joel Marlor

My driving instructor was Freddy , I have nothing but good things to say about the driving school courses, Freddy personally helped me understand the road so much better then family could. In car lessons were amazing Freddy once again helped me focus on my flaws and by the end of the 10 hours I believe myself safe enough to drive on the road. 5 stars for the company and 6 stars for Freddy just on going up and beyond.

Suman Patel

Hey guys, I passed my G2 test today. My in car instructor was Freddy. He is very experienced, flexible and friendly. He taught me so many things that not only help me to pass the test but also will help me in my future to drive. He is awesome. Moreover Karmela is one of the best in-class instructor that I experienced.

Annachie Borsellino-Luchsinger

My in class lessons were fantastic as well as my road driving lessons from Freddy. I passed my G2 confidently after only a few lessons with him, thanks Freddy!

Adriana Toito

First Class is a great driving school. Karmela is a fantastic teacher, and is very thorough with all her lessons, making sure all students learn the basics and beyond. She’s very outgoing, too! Eman was my driving instructor, and an amazing one at that. She is very patient, friendly, and helpful, making sure that you feel comfortable and giving you confidence to help you drive well. I really would recommend going here to get lessons for your G1. Thank you both for helping me get my license!

natasha york

Between Karmela in class and Shantha on my 10 hours of driving, I feel so confident now thanks to them. They are both amazing instructors , patient, kind, understanding and willing to answer any questions you have. I have now been able to get over my fear of driving thanks to both of them and I feel.most confident on the road. I would recommend anyone to this driving school,im so happy I went with them

Aley Naeem

Amazing driving school, Karmela was a great class teacher, she did her best to make the class a good experience and my driving instructor Eman was also very helpful and took her time to make sure I was comfortable. Very impressed and will recommend to all my friends.

27natar

I had a truly wonderful in class and in car learning experience with Farnas. I could not recommend First Class Driving School more. Farnas was truly kind, patient and provided great tips that helped me ace my G2 test.

Neli Petrova

There’s a reason why this school has so high rating! Karmela is excellent teacher! I absolutely recommend their services! Very professional! Thank you!

Deanna Emmerson

Karmela gave me the confidence to overcome my phobia and finish the licensing process at 31. Fantastic, kind, helpful and honest!

George Petrovic

I had an absolutely wonderful time learning from Miranda. She was very supportive and also informative at the same time, when I got to the test I was very confident in my skills as a driver. I passed on my first try and it never would have happened without the help of First Class Driving School. Thank you very much to both Karmela and Miranda. :)

Sarah Daimee

This review is long over-due (almost 1 1/2 years) but is for the in-car lessons specifically. I was super anxious due to some negative experiences with a former instructor at a different driving school, yet Miki was able to calm me down and ease me into my first lesson within the first few minutes of meeting me. Miki really helped with my confidence, attention, knowledge, and overall quality of driving. We also took different routes around Hamilton so that I had greater exposure with the city, which was really helpful. Got my G2 with ease, and am hoping I can get my G license through the aid of this driving school as well!

Karen Davies

The instructor, Freddy was amazing. He is thorough, competent and informative, both in the classroom & in the vehicle. He ensures that you are ready to take your road test, enabling you to pass with flying colours. I had been licensed for 15 years and still learned a wealth of insurance. If you use their car for the road test, he will personally take you on 3 different road tests that the instructor from the DriveTest Center will pick from. The course costs are also the cheapest that I found. ***Quality Service Delivered!!!*** Karen Flynn

Daniel Cantarero

Amazing instructors, very organized and prices are fair. Very pleased with this school would recommend! Ask for farnas.

Colin Nagels

Very good teacher Freddy taught me a lot and he's very patient and kind

Eden Choubeta

This program was very informative and comfortable. The in class instructor (Karmela) was excellent in the sense that she taught us to be "good drivers, not just to pass the test". My driving instructor (Freddy) was extremely helpful in accommodating my work schedule, teaching me driving best-practices, and explaining the actual application of driving rules. Thanks again!

Inza Saqib

My experience with my first instructor, Jay did not go well at all he wouldnt make time adequately, would respond to texts a week later but once freddy took me on, everything became much easier. I had learned soooo much more from Freddy in one lesson than i did with Jay in all 8. Freddy was very accomodating, experienced, organized, polite and friendly. He would always reply instantly to texts and would be very flexible with his schedule. He had some great tips to teach and i passed my G2 because of Freddy. If anyone is going to first class driving school, i would recommend Freddy as their driving instructor!

Dragana Hajdin

I got my G2 today and all thanks to my amazing instructor Miranda.????In very short time i gave her ,she managed to teach me everything I need to know to stay safe in future driving. She is extremely honest,punctual and very dedicated to her work. Numerous times,with a lot of patience she is able to go through the same thing until i felt i was ready for exam. She has very positive personality so for everyone who is trying to find instructor who will teach you everything you need to know and at the same time make your day-look no further-Miranda is the one ????????

Megha Makhija

Got my G2 today! Highly recommend this school especially Ferdinand who helped me learn the basics and made me an expert with parallel parking and Reverse parking. Great start for people who are anxious about driving!

Jonathan Baird-Kerr

Najam is a solid instructor, super helpful. He's very happy to help and I would recommend that if you get the chance, let him be your instructor!

David Gilpin

Excellent in-class and on-road instructors. Learned a great deal about driving well and safely. Would recommend anyone to First Class if you're looking a great driving school!

tony jozepovic

Farnas was a great teacher, taught everyone very well and made everything clear to everyone. Would recommend!

Manuela Torres

Had an amazing instructor. Freddy always made time that was convenient for me and took his time teaching, did not mind having review days where I would improve certain skills over and over until they were perfect. Also reminds you the night before your lesson which is handy. Also never late.

Veman Ismayl

When I first met Karmela in class. She was very open and welcoming. I comprehended very well with the way she taught driving achool. She was very determined to lecture us the proper way. To even make it better Farnas came along for the practicle aspect. He was very patient and very easy going with a totally unexperience driver. Thanx to Farnas iam now a G2 holder. And iam definitely taking a refresher from Farnas for my G test. Every penny spent was well worth it. I would definetely recommend this driving school to anybody looking for drivers education.

Steve Blake

This is my second driving school. I switched because the first school was extremely unprofessional. First class was great, my instructor was patient and always on time & focused on preparin for the test. I would recommend first class to everyone and would give them 6 stars if I could !!

Faris George

I was with Eman, my instructor in driving school she’s excellent and I learned a lot with her until I passed my g2 test thank you Eman for everything.

I highly recommend First Class. Karmela is super knowledgeable and really cares about your success and safety. I enjoyed my in class lessons with her. Driving lessons with Ferdinand were great, he’s patient and provides helpful tips.

Lin Chuan

I highly recommend Fredy from First Class Driving School. I had other instructors from a different driving school and Fredy was the best instructor I had. He is very kind, patient and informative. Fredy does a very good job of reinforcing important concepts and rules of the road. He is also a humorous person which made my lessons very enjoyable, comfortable and educational. Fredy was never late when picking me up for my lessons and he was very accommodative to my busy schedule. He made sure I was well-prepared for my G2 and in the end, I passed successfully! Thank you so much Fredy!! I had a wonderful time learning from you.

chopp stix

The best driving school around. Freddy is the man, he taught me so many useful tips and hes very polite and funny. I had a wonderful driving and learning experience with them!

Emily

My experience with first class driving school was great! My instructor, Fernas, was wonderful. He was patients and very knowledgeable. My instructor fit my lesson in within very short notice and was very flexible with his hours. After only a few lessons, I felt confident in my driving and prepared to take my G2. I would highly recommend this driving school to anyone. Thanks Fernas!

rima nasser

Farnas was an amazing driving instructor, he was calm at all times on the road and made you feel comfortable driving. I would 100% recommend him for either the driving portion or the 20hours in class :)

Ibrahim Malik

They scheduled me in on short notice and Karmela was a fantastic resource who offered really great tips and hints.

chubby Chicken

Great driving school. Miki was a great instructor, passed my g2 successfully.

Adriana Krnetic

I am VERY pleased with my experience with this driving school! The teacher of the in-class portion of the course happened to be my instructor for the driving lessons. She helped me get over a 9-year fear of driving. She put me at ease and helped me gain confidence on the road by teaching me to be a responsible and safe driver. She's also very knowledgeable, organized, and professional not to mention beyond patient and accommodating. I couldn't be more grateful. Aside from the driving lessons, the course material was presented in a manner that kept things interesting. Based on my personal experience and on what I've heard about other schools, I highly recommend this one!!!

Natassia Hogenbirk

Freddy gave me the confidence (and skills) I needed to pass my G test on the first go! Thank you so much!
