I passed my road test on the first try. Tony and Brandon are the best instructors! They are very knowledgeable and make you feel super comfortable. Although they are laid back, when they see you make an error they don't scold you they talk to you and explain what you did wrong and what to do on the next attempt. When it was close to my road test they definitely accommodated me with the schedule and instructor I wanted.

Amazing! I passed my road test today on the first try! I am thrilled that this place is located very close for me; it is only a 15-20 minute walk from my house. The prices are great and the people are great.
I took the 10-driving lesson package that includes the 20 hours of in-class work and 10-hours of in-car driving. These 10 lessons are just enough for a newbie driver to get comfortable when still having minimal driving experience elsewhere (less than 5 hrs).
In this course, I had two instructors; Scott and Brandon. Scott was the first guy who got the jitters of driving in Kingston out of me for the first time. He got me to focus on the road ahead, as well as the technicalities of turning.
As for Brandon, he's a friendly, patient guy. He fixed my right turns, making them more narrow than before. He has this laid-back and chill vibe about him but still makes sure you're learning! During each lesson, he corrected my right turns about 5-7 times and did the same with the left turns, then moved on to parking and pulling up behind cars, next to a pole, etc. And I love how he told me that he might be more nervous than me for the road test today! That gave me such reassurance; he actually cared about his students passing and doing well.
As for scheduling, you just have to be patient with them. I heard about other students not starting their lessons quickly, but I received a call the day after I was ready to start in-car lessons. If you're not sure about anything, just call them and they'll check it for you.
Ergo, thank you, First Route! Great classes. Great instructors.

Excellent driving school! Toni was our son's driving instructor, very knowledgeable and friendly. Our daughter went to another driver's ed and the difference was unbelievable. She booked a one hour private lesson with Toni prior to her G license test and came back saying she learned more in that hour with Toni then she did throughout the entire driver's ed course she took elsewhere. I would highly recommend First Route!

The course was interesting and I passed my G2 test on the first go! Scott was a good instructor, he had lots of little tips and tricks that I liked

My son went there last year and the price was around $530.00 or so. He said the in class was a little boring, i think his teacher was named Scott. The in-car lessons took a while and again I think he had Scott. I dont normally write reviews, but now my daughter is ready to take driving lessons, and although the price is much cheaper ($469.00) im wondering if this is another "you get what you pay for. He said he learned a bit but had to take a couple of other lessons before doing his test . I would look elsewhere.
