Reviews of Five stars driving school (Driving School)

Mina Al-rubaye

Mr. Basil is one of the most competent drivers one can ever meet, let alone his patience, kindness, and devotion to each student's progress. Not only will he make sure you're almost completely ready for your test, but also, he has his way of boosting one's confidence on the road dramatically. I would highly recommend him as your driving instructor. Thank you so much!

Basil and Imtiaz are the best driving instructors I have ever had. They are patient and are incredibly devoted to making you pass. They provide tips and tricks when on the road and explain the maneuvers in a way that is easy to understand. Both are incredibly friendly and comfortable to be in the car with. I was incredibly nervous driving in the beginning but I grew more comfortable through the duration of my lessons. Because of these two I passed my exam! Their hard work, patience and dedication in pushing their students to learn and become better drivers is not easy to find in many driving instructors. You two are amazing and I appreciate all of your efforts! I highly recommend this location!

Will highly recommend to my friends and family. Basil was my instructor and to be honest his suggestions and advice helped to crack my G license road test. I was nervous before my road test but taking a class before the test was very useful for me to gain my confidence. Thanks Basil!

My experience at 5 Stars Driving school was great. My instructor for both in class and in car lessons, Basil was professional and a great teacher who taught me multiple different new techniques to be a better driver. The price compared to other drivers ed schools is significantly less and comes with the same education if not more. I highly recommend this driving school to anyone looking to learn how to drive.

So happy I got my G2 the first time. I want to thank Imtiaz for the help she gave me, she was very patient with me because when I started I didn't know how to drive at all. Also I didn't practice with any one else. I just passed my exam based only on the hours I had with her. Thank you Imtiaz for not giving up on me and encouraging me, you are very professional.

Ogonna Nwabuikwu

I highly recommend Imitiaz. She is a seasoned driver and highly knowledgeable about the road rules. She pays attention to detail. I enjoyed her teaching style; she makes use of a toy car and board (as a road mockup) to teach road navigation. I found this very helpful. I passed my exam without hassle

nadia

I strongly recommend 5 Stars Driving School and Basil my instructor. When I started I was a very nervouse driver and not very confident, I had a previouse experience with another school and the experience is simply not comparable. Basil ezceeded my expectations he was really an amazing teacher. He always was so patient and calm, he took the time to analyze my gap, gave me good tips and tricks and overall ended up helping me be more confident and more comfortable driving... I actually enjoy driving now and succeed first try my G2 test! Thank you again!!!

Fawzia Rouabhi

Before having Basil as my instructor years ago, I had gone through two instructors. Both of which were unprofessional and impatient with very limited bookings. When I wanted to book a lesson, I’d have to wait weeks only to be treated with eye rolls as a newbie driver making tons of mistakes. When I found Basil from 5 star driving school, my self-esteem was low from all the disrespect from the two previous instructors. I had Basil as my final and third instructor. I was amazed by his professionalism, his empathy, and supportive encouraging attitude. He is a true professional. Needless to say, thanks to him, I passed my G1 with flying colors Years later, when my G1 expiry date was approaching and it was time to do my G, I called him. I did a series of mock G tests with him and improved my driving majorly He picked up on bad habits I had accumulated which other drivers by my side did not pick up on. I am happy to say that I got my G license today thanks to Basil’s help. If you’re looking for an instructor who cares about his job, is supportive and kind, then your search stops here! Call the school right now and book a lesson.

ashiq hashimi

Great place to learn driving highly recommend going.

Fayez Katbi

Great experience. Basel is an extremely knowledgeable guy. He made the course fun to take and the price for the all inclusive service he offers was the best I could find in Ottawa! Thanks for everything!

Sara Mohamed

I highly recommend this school to anyone who's learning to drive at any level! I had the most spectacular experience with this school! I was a nervous driver and had a not so great experience with a previous instructor who made me more nervous behind the wheel. Basil was the most patient and understanding instructor I've ever encountered. He knew exactly how to teach me what I needed to know and was adaptable whenever I was nervous ! He made me feel confident behind the wheel and even as I was so nervous before my G2 test, he was able to find a way to give me the confidence I needed to pass on my first attempt! If you go to another school, you're doing yourself a disservice. Trust me, no one will teach you better than the teachers found at this school! Thank you Basil for your help!

Johanie Michaud

Would definitely recommend! Never thought I could perfect parallel parking but thanks to this driving school I can. Basil is extremely patient. He will listen to your insecurities and he will help you overcome them. All in all great driving school!

Youssef Abdul Hussain

It was great to learn driving from Basil, he's really passionate about his job and did a great job. I just got my G2 and now I feel completely confident and ok to drive on streets anywhere I do recommend this school to everyone

Alexandria Collymore

I would highly recommend doing lessons with this company! My driving instructor was Basil and he was very knowledgeable and pointed out tips and small things I didn't even notice I was doing. He also showed the route of the test which was a huge plus! I felt confident going into my test and passed, thanks to Basil!

Just Saying

Basil was a great instructor, very patient and kind. The course overall is very well priced and worth every penny. He gave me the confidence on the road, as I was very scared to even learn to drive. I would recommend to everyone, who is interested in learning to drive.

Aziza Faizee

Imtiaz is a great instructor. I will highly recommend her

I had a great experience with Five Stars Driving School. I had three G road test preparation sessions with Basil. He’s very professional and explains where you need to focus on your driving skills. On my road test day, I found out that my car’s battery died due to the extreme cold weather. I called Basil only 2hrs before my G road test in case the battery boost didn’t work and I was going to request him for the test day package. Even though it was a very last minute request, he made himself available. Thankfully, my car was good for the test and I passed my G road test! Thank you so much for your teaching and support.

Camryn Esma

Five Stars Driving School helped me to become a very confident and knowledgeable driver. Basil is a patient and accommodating teacher. He truly cares about his students and their success. He not only teaches you the basic rules of the road, but he aids in developing your observation, self-assurance and awareness when driving. I started out with no driving experience whatsoever and I passed my G2 test with flying colours! Five Stars Driving School is the best!!!

J Elj

Was sexist and did not show up when he said he would. He would cancel because he overslept on the day of the practice. He was impatient and very condescending. Would not recommend it if you are an Arabic Woman. He tells people to give him 5 stars. Not worth it.

Selina

I’m at absolutely happy with this school! Today I got my G2 with Imtiaz as my driving instructor. She is very patient, very calm, and she takes her time to explain everything excellently! I highly recommend her.

CODEY ROY

Sérgio Resende De Oliveira

I had a great experience driving with basil. He is a professional driving instructor and his techniques are the best. I passed my g full and i highly recommend this driving school if you are looking to learn how to drive in Canada

gloria pal

I will like to say thank you to Imtiaz at the five stars driving school. She was my first driving lesson instructor as I had never driven before (I am in my 40's :) ). She helped me master essential skills, driving techniques and rules. She used to say, "remove the fear!" I passed my test at the first attempt with the Walkley driving center in Ottawa. I will like to thank her for her patience and encouragement. I highly recommend her and the five stars driving school to anyone in search of a driving school here in Ottawa, Ontario. Thank you Imtiaz and lots of hugs!

Rayan Wehbe

I had Mr. Basil as my driving instructor and he was such a patient and helpful instructor. Not only does he believe that the secret behind a good driver is through increasing a driver's confidence but his philosphy with regards to driving also contends that drivers should have fun driving. Basil is a very chill instructor, is very experienced, and definately has a talent for teaching. Basil does not just teach the techniques of driving kinaesthetically but also has a washable board where he first teaches the technique visually by drawing. No doubt, he is a instructor that genuinely wants to see his students succeed in their driving tests and will accomadate your schedule. He will tell you exactly what your issues are after every driving lesson and then will spend a suficient amount of time praciticing them with you in your subsequent driving lesson until you are comfortable with them. Moreover, his method of teaching serves for all learners, visual, kinestatic, auditory etc. I would definately highly reccomend getting lessons from Five Stars.

Jean Azzi

I had never drove before. I signed up for Basil's driving school, which came with 10 hours of free tutoring. When I finished the program, I was able to pass my G2 test with flying colours. Thank you Basil!!

islam alsamraie

The course was very excellent and I got valuable information even though I have been driving for more than 24 years outside of Canada but I learned a lot from Mr. Basil and also gives you options. In case you are not able to attend one day, the lesson will be repeated on another day. Thank you, Mr. Basil for everything.

Just short of words for Basil. He took from me from being afraid and having no knowledge of driving to having the courage and driving perfectly. Also very understanding of a man because I was late for some driving classes but he always understood and kept me focus... Just got my G2 today and I thank him immensely... I recommend him to anybody and trust me, he will make you succeed

Marie-Therese Chamoun
