I am very grateful for Alex's instruction. He helped me to overcome my fears and anxiety of driving. From the moment we started, he listened and understood what I needed to improve my driving. Alex was a dynamic teacher, a friend, a psychologist, and a supremely calm and supportive presence in the passenger seat. In addition, he was flexible and creative with the scheduling and financial arrangements of our lessons. Highly recommend. Read Less

Alex is a fantastic teacher. He took my son out on 3 separate occasions as well as a pre-test trip. Alex's philosophy is to make safe drivers for life not just to pass the test. This is how we wanted our son taught. I would highly recommend Alex and the Victoria Driving School for anyone needing to take some lessons. He is a wonderful instructor. Read Less

Alex is THE BEST instructor that I have met. It's not just about passing the test or getting your license. He is going to understand your situation and deliver totally tailor-made lessons for your necessities. By the way, he never asked me to write a review. So, you can trust all these positive reviews and give him a call. I'm sure you will not regret, just like me :) Read Less

I took three 90 minute lessons with Victoria Driving School after having been without a license for 14 years due to brain injury. I passed the road test with flying colours. I was very nervous at first but once the driving started I realized it was going to be just like my sessions with Alex. The tasks the evaluator was asking me to execute were the same ones we had rehearsed. Alex taught me exactly what I needed to know and he prepared me psychologically by taking me to the testing centre and walking me through everything that would happen on test day. He was perceptive of my strengths and weaknesses and coached me accordingly, in a way that was both creative and concise. Alex doesn't just drill a customer in the rules of the road, he prepares a human to pass the ICBC driving test. Devon Thomas Read Less

Alex is an excellent instructor, he changes his approach depending on what he feels the student requires and that makes a lot of difference. I had researched a lot before choosing him and all the reviews i read helped me decide, and i am happy i decided to go with him. He teaches safe and defensive driving, and i had no trouble during my test. He gave me honest feedback and that truly made a difference. Thanks Alex ! Read Less

Alex is an exceptional, dynamic instructor and an excellent businessman. He was accommodating, clear and very supportive of learning goals and needs. In 7 lessons over 3 months, I passed my N test easly. He helped me get passed my fears and lack of confidence on the road. Worth every penny. Read Less

Thanks to Alex and Victoria Driving School, I not only passed my driver's test (at age 30!) but feel confident driving and have a good understanding of road rules and safe driving. He taught me everything over 4 lessons within one week! Read Less

Alex is the best! I was anxious driving at first but after 6 lessons I felt confident and passed! I tried another driving school but decided to go with Alex instead and it paid off immensely! Thanks Alex and can't wait for the highway lessons � Read Less

Before approaching Alex I had taken 12 lessons with a different driving school, and tried the N-level road test twice. I failed both times, had nothing to show for the 12 lessons I had taken, and did not know how to drive. I had very low confidence in my ability and felt very unsure and apprehensive behind the wheel. Alex took the time to develop a lesson plan that was right for me, and helped me overcome my apprehension and fear of driving. As well as teaching me practical skills and good habits, he was able to identify and overcome the mental blocks which got in the way of my performance. Alex is a very patient teacher who will always give you 100% of his attention and care. He went out of his way to accommodate my irregular work schedule (we even did lessons at 7:00 AM on a Sunday). It took a lot of hard work, but I finally have my N. More importantly, I feel confident in my driving ability and know how to stay safe on the road. I will continue taking lessons with Victoria Driving School every few month to make sure I don’t fall into bad habits. I would recommend Alex to anyone who is serious about become a good, safe driver. Victoria Driving School is well worth the extra money. Paying the discount school got me nowhere. Read Less

Nailed it today; I aced the test!!! Alex is a versatile mentor: instead of a "one-size-fits-all" approach, he gives the appropriate direction and delivers the goods and feedback tailored to the individual. As an introvert and an over-thinker, I required practical experience and guidance on how to engage - I would have easily failed with another school in a dry, scripted environment. Alex knows what to do! Thank you Alex! Read Less

Alex is an exceptional driving instructor. Throughout the 12 lessons, he motivated and helped me to become a confident driver. I really enjoyed the hour and a half lessons, each of which were personally tailored to my style of learning and to my interests. Alex was always relaxed during lessons, and offered insightful tips on how I should improve and how I should preform new maneuvers. Each maneuver (3-point-turn, merging, etc) was broken down into manageable, simple steps. Who knew parallel parking could be so easy!? As a bit of an extra, we would often take a quick break to pick up a fresh brew of Victoria's best coffee (On-Campus UVIC students will appreciate this :D ). Thank you Alex for helping me to achieve my N! Read Less

Alex prepared Ayaka for her driving test with safety of her and others first. Passing test is one thing but I wanted to be able to trust that she ia ready to be on her own out there. He instructed her what defensive driving means and possibly she can avoid other dangerous drivers. He taught her what to look for, how to be safe while she is driving. Reaching out to her and made great connection. Appreciate his effort to make her safe. Parents coaching isn't enough. You filled that void for us. Thank you, Alex. Read Less

I come from a small town on the North Island (about 2000 people) and I never thought I would be cut out for city driving. Alex made me feel relaxed, comfortable, confident, and taught me all about defensive driving. I would absolutely recommend him, as I don't think I would have been able to pull off getting my N without him. Thanks again Alex!!! Read Less
