In-class instructor was very professional, explained information thoroughly and clear. In-car instructor was very helpful, kind and patience and made me feel comfortable around the wheel. I would highly recommend Winston's Driving Academy, it is the best driving school in Toronto.

I had a great experience learning to drive with Nafeesa! I passed my G2 test easily and I had very little experience driving. She was clear, supportive and very good at detailing what needs to be done to be a safe driver and pass the test. Would highly recommend.

Recently I have got my G2 license. And for that I would like to thank my teacher Abid. He is an instructor with excellent knowledge and skill. He is professional, punctual and calm. He explains everything step by step and in a perfect way so that it is easy to implement on real condition. He knows exactly what are the areas I was struggling or needed improvement and gave me the proper instructions to overcome all. Overall it was a very nice experience for me and I would like to recommend him for anyone. Thanks.

I was very lucky to choose this academy in preparation for my g2 test. The service here is very professional, from the in-class teachers to the in-car instructor. The in-class teacher was very thorough and didn't just go through the textbook blindly. He gave us insights and tips from his own experience that really helped. My in-car instructor, Abid, was one of the best and most thorough teachers I have ever met. His attention to detail was impeccable and he was very patient with me. He was also very generous with his time, opting on multiple occassions to make up time I lost, with his own time
