The secretary at Alves is very knowledgeable and professional and Joe is pretty awesome too. Highly recommended.

Very low passing rate. Go to other driving schools that actually cares about you passing than getting money from you.

Here is my in-depth review of my experience with this driving school:
Pros:
~The in class lesson content is easy
~The secretary is organized
Cons:
~The teacher who taught the in-class lesson, although easy to talk to, goes off topic in the lessons to the point of political discourse which wastes class time then rushes the lessons near the end
~My negative experience has got to be the in-vehicle instructor I've had: I had some guy name Norm who:
1) Did not provide good feedback. If I ask him what I need to work on, if I'm doing well or not and he'll say "What do you think?" What kind of answer is that?
2) I have never driven a car ever, so he gets frustrated and impatient when I make mistakes and instead of explaining to me clearly he asks me in a condescending tone "why did you do that? Huh?"
3) He wanted me to drive thru an amber in the rain when you are SUPPOSE TO SLOW DOWN but he got angry, looked at me and said "You have to do what I tell you to do no questions asked!"
4) Every lesson he would say I'm getting worse. The last lesson he said: "A person is suppose to get better with every lesson, not get worse like you"
5) He would tell me to make left turns quickly without yielding to oncoming traffic
6) If I ask him to clarify something I don't understand he would tell me "What did I just say?"
7) I was driving on a curve with an orange sign that said 15km/hr and he told me to drive faster and I said but that sign says 15km/hr and he said "what did I tell you?" I would always have to guess and he wouldn't even tell me
8) When I DO try to listen to his directions "no questions asked", he'll then say "you take things literally don't you?"
9) He often talks on the phone during each lesson which is unprofessional
At the end of each lesson I come home crying because he makes me feel like I will never be able to drive. I am already nervous behind the wheel so this guy berrating at me only makes things worse. The fact that I am PAYING this guy to teach me how to drive, which helps put food on his table, and I get treated like a stupid child by talking down like that is absolutely despicable! It is unprofessional and rude. A driving instructor is suppose to be patient since students like me have no driving experience compared to their long experience in driving. I have switched to another driving instructor who is hopefully better but I have wasted $120 from those 3 lessons with that Norm guy. The motto of this driving school is "drive with confidence" but I lose confidence every time I have an in-vehicle driving lesson! I do not recommend this driving school especially that driving instructor. Read Less

Tive quatro aulas de direção, sendo 3 com o Alves e uma com o Norm, ambos responderam prontamente as minhas dúvidas e me corrigiram nos erros que eu estava tendo ao dirigir. Com as correções feitas consegui passar no exame para carteira G. Não conseguiria ter passado sem essas correções. Tanto o Alves quanto o Norm são bastante tranquilos e experientes. Tenho 22 anos de experiência em dirigir no Brasil mas, aqui as regras são muito diferentes e existe muito detalhes que reprova qualquer um. Obrigado Alves pela paciência e por me corrigir. Agradeça o Norm também. Não teria passado sem a orientação de vocês. Read Less
