Report
Stephen is an excellent, experienced, and professional instructor with a great -and respectful!- sense of humor. As an adult learner I was very nervous when I got into the driver's seat for the very first time. Stephen helped me overcome my nervousness and taught me how to drive in downtown Halifax! Stephen will teach you how to drive defensively and how to avoid collisions or any other dangerous situations in traffic. I moved away which is why I could not complete my program with him but Stephen prepared me very well for the road and my road test. Thank you!

Undoubtedly, one of the coolest and best teachers I've ever met. It was my first time driving and Stephan made it the easiest, especially with multiple in car lessons. The interactive 3 hours in class lessons taught me a great deal and the materials were well put. Great job!
