Hello,
I would like to tell you
a few things about me. Many of you will know my name as I may
have taught your friends or family how to drive. I have been a
licenced Driving Instructor for over 11 years. I have worked for
many of the local driving schools as an independent contractor
including: Progressive Driving School, Superior Driving School
and Amethyst Driving School. I have even worked for a driving
school in the Toronto area. I have been praised by many students
for my "unique" approach to driver training. We don't
use a "cookie cutter" approach. At the beginning of
every lesson, the student is assessed and we work on the problems
areas /skills that need improvement.
Being a young in-class driving
instructor at only 36 years old, I can relate to the student at
their level. Something I can tell you is that I was the "young
16 year old punk driver" who got into trouble behind the
wheel many times. I did not "respect" the vehicle and
I never understood the consequences as a young driver. It took
me many years, many life experiences to turn me into the "safe"
and "respectful" driver that I am now. Now I bring these
"real life" experiences to the driving school industry.
I even take the students to a local wrecking yard to show them
the aftermath of a collision. Having many years of experience
as a tow truck operator and having over 1 million kilometers of
professional driving, the student will benefit of hearing stories
and situations that I had to experience.
A major part of progressing through the
course is the practice at home. Parents are invited (strongly
recommended) to sit in the back seat during the second in-car
lesson. This will help parents / co-drivers to help the student
get the practice they need to become a safe driver. 10 hours that
is included in the course is NOT the magic number that turns a
new driver into a safe one! New drivers should log in at home
as many hours as they can in between lessons working on the skills
they were taught. The main goal here is when they ask you (the
parent) for the keys to the vehicle, you should not feel nervous
handing over the keys.
At TheDrivingSchool.ca,
the main focus is how to become an effective and competent driver.
We never talk about "do this to pass the road test".
My philosophy on the road test is if you learn and know how to
drive, you will not have difficulty passing the road test. And
this is why I have a 99% pass rate at the Drive Test Centre.
I can't wait to teach you!
