I just passed my Class 7 Road Test yesterday. When I first started, I could barely get the car moving without stalling—and now I’ve passed my test with confidence! All thanks to Varinder and Ruby, who turned every mistake into a lesson and every lesson into progress. They taught me not just how to drive, but how to think like a safe, smart driver. I never felt judged, just supported. If driving felt impossible to you too, trust me— These guys will get you there.

Both my partner and I took classes with Varinder at Varinder’s driving school and we both successfully passed our road tests! Varinder is patient, kind, and will take you to all the routes you will be driving on the test. He gives the best tips to turn, drive, and park safely. I feel much safer and confident as a driver!

I got my 5 class license today. Varinder is the best instructor in Vancouver. I tried 4 driving teachers, and only he clearly explained my mistakes to me. He does not delay the number of lessons. Everything is clear from the first lesson. He knows all the ICBC test routes. I highly recommend it. By training with him, you will save money. Thank you very much. Irina.
