Krishna is very friendly person and is real professional. He know very well how to teach people. He was calm and explained me properly if I made any mistake, he also provided good tips and tricks. Fees is also very reasonable. I have already given his reference to one of my friend and will continue to refer others in future. Thanks.

My wife's friend recommended Krisna to us. I am so glad that I had Krisna as my driving instructor. I had my Class 5 road test today (Jan 19, 2022) and passed in my first attempt...all thanks to clear and precise instructions from Krisna. Krisna is one of the nicest instructor I have met (have worked with 2 other instructors...one was very casual and other instilled fear in me with way too many instructions and his opinions...fortunately, discontinued due to their time availability)...found Krisna as very balanced....his car is also new and easy to use. I would recommend Krisna to anyone going

I needed to re-take my road test after many years of not driving. I took two lessons and a warm-up session with Krishna prior to my road test. I found him to be kind, knowledgable, and a clear communicator. In just two sessions I was able to correct poor driving habits that I had accumulated previously, and passed my road test first time. Very happy that I chose his service. Would recommend.

I did 6 lessons with another driving school but still did not have enough confidence taking my N test. After 5 more lessons with Krisna I managed to pass my N test the first time I took it! He is very clear with instructions and asks critical thinking questions during the lessons to really get you to practice the "see-think-do" etiquette for driving safely. Definitely recommend lessons with Krisna!
