 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Worked with Aman for my G (which I have previously failed once). He’s so experienced and tentative, always on time (mostly early), I cleared my test with ZERO MISTAKE!!! Can’t recommend enough. Only regret I have is to not known him sooner, then I wouldn’t have failed the very first time.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an experienced driver from another country, I thought I'd have an easy time navigating Canadian roads. But adapting to local conditions and laws took some getting used to. That's where Drivezee's Aman came in - their tailored training and guidance were invaluable. Aman's patient and empathetic approach made all the difference. I'd highly recommend Drivezee to anyone looking to boost their driving confidence in Canada.

Great at teaching the techniques. He Picks up and drops at the door step. The fee is nominal too. I would recommend anyone who wants to take G2 or G tests to take class with Drivezee.
