SANDI SANDI SANDI!!!!!!! This woman is an exceptional teacher!! She gives you everything you need to know, I only took two 1 hour sessions and passed my G2 no problem!! She genuinely cares, listens to your concerns, and gives you tips to remember the small things (msb baby!). Thank you for being an amazing teacher as well as adapting to my schedule, you're amazing! <3

I had about a dozen classes with an amazing instructor named Sandi at the OVDA. I have successfully passed my G2 road test, all thanks to Sandi's fantastic lessons. Honestly I went from not knowing anything about driving to being fully comfortable with driving within a month. It was so challenging to find a driving instructor in Ottawa but luckily I came across the OVDA and they were able to fit me in despite my short notice. Sandi is very calm, super energetic, really kind and has a wonderful sense of humour -- all of which you appreciate as someone who is learning to drive. Moreover, her techniques are on point and very easy to follow, which all stem from her over 30+ years of service in the MTO. Like many things in life, having a good teacher and learning things the proper way is key to success. With driving, proper lessons will save you time and even your life. I cannot recommend it enough --and a big high five to Sandi for being such an awesome instructor!

really easy going and calm which helps with being nervous I'm so happy I decided to get the 3 lessons which has helped me tremendously. Thanks Josh for being an amazing instructor.
