I had a very good experience with this school and definitely recommend it. The classes that taught by Mr. Dong are very fun, he has a lot of stories that related to the courses. His teaching style is quite attractive and interesting. John is such a good instructor, he has his own method of teaching. He can make you drive easy and safe. Time always goes fast during the courses. I enjoy the learning here. I passed my G2 test in the first time, thanks to John and Dong ! Read Less

I had a very good experience with this school and definitely recommend it. My in-car instructor was Neil. He is such a nice and patient guy. I took driving lessons outside Canada many years ago, but never felt confident enough to take the exam. I really liked how Neil gave me tips, advice, and shared his driving experiences with me. I passed my exam in the first try. Thank you! :) Read Less

Dave was great and made driving school enjoyable! My driving instructor was Yama and he was great, really cared about helping me pass my test and was honest and kind. Worthwhile experience!

I highly recommend going to Westdale driving school!! Dave's teaching style for the in class sessions are great, he has a great sense of humor. I was a very nervous driver at the beginning and John helped me learn how to relax while driving. I passed my G2 test on the first try during a snow storm! Read Less

I passed my G2 test in early July for the first try after practicing with John for two months in May and June, with no previous driving experience. He is such a patient and responsible instructor and he taught me with the heart. Every class was enjoyable and I actually learn driving, not just tricks. I took the theoretical classes with David in December and his classes were full of fun too. Feel gratitude to the instructors and would absolutely recommend this school to my friends and family!!!

Would completely recommend this program to any new drivers! My in-class instructor, Neil, was hilarious and made class fun whilst teaching in a professional manner which really helped myself and the people in my class (the class wasn't crowded either, or was comfortable at around 6 or so people), and my in-car instructor Yama, provided a fantastic experience while improving my driving on the road with his positivity, constant encouragement, and beneficial and friendly constructive criticism when mistakes had been made. I'm going for my road test tomorrow! In summation, I would completely recommend Westdale Driving School to a friend! Thank you Read Less

Loved everything about this school! In class lessons were extremely informative and useful. Mr. Dong kept everyone interested with facts, first hand experiences and of course some driving jokes. My instructor Jayma, was an amazing teacher and made sure to prepare me for the road test, and also how to be a safe driver in general. Passed my G2 test the first time around with flying colours. Would definatly recommend this school above any others. Read Less

My experience from beginning to end was fantastic!! Firstly, the in-class lessons were done very well. Lots of great advice given to me! I had severe anxiety about driving which is why I waited 4 years after getting my G1 to attempt my G2. Secondly, my in-car instructor Yama was so encouraging! He regularly told me how good I was doing. And when I didn't feel confident in certain things like left turns, he would let me do them over and over. He covered all aspects of driving and made sure I mastered them all safely. When it came time to the road test he took me on the route and walked me through it over and over. My anxiety levels were quite high. He took me for a coffee to help me relax and then off to the testing centre. He believed in me since the first day I met him. And lastly I want to mention the pricing! The cost is very good compared to other schools, the in car lessons are flexible, and Yama was fantastic at accommodating my work schedule. I used the instructors car for the test and he came early and didn't over charge me. I couldn't have done it without Westdale driving school!! Thank you for making me a confident driver!!! Read Less

Two years ago I used Westdale driving school for my daughter’s driving lessons. Both of us were extremely happy with the in class instruction and the driving instructor (Chara). So it only made sense to use Westdale for my other daughter. Once again the in class instruction was very informative and she enjoyed the class. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same about the driving instructor, Javid. He made it very difficult to make appointments, was late for his appointments..., and did not give my daughter feedback when she was driving unless she did something wrong, he seemed to always have to go to the washroom during her lesson. When I attempted to speak to him about the situation he begrudgingly listened to my concerns but never addressed them. What bothered me the most is that he suggested that she have a one hour lesson on the Wednesday (he was 10 minutes late), a two hour lesson on the Thursday (he was 40 minutes late) and then he was to pick her up at 8:00 am on the Friday for a one hour lesson prior to her road test scheduled for 9:30 (which we paid extra in order to use his car for the road test), he was 15 minutes late with no explanation or apology. I should note that whenever he was 5-10 minutes late he brought her back home at the scheduled end time not the one hour from the start time. I feel that he was very unprofessional and insensitive toward his client. See More Read Less
