 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was taught by Ivana and she is incredible. She created such a comfortable environment to ask questions and learn about safe and practical driving. She is so knowledgeable about about everything to do with the road and I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. She's also considerate and flexible with her time. I will miss our sessions. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an instructor who creates an amazing positive learning environment.

In my situation, I wasn't able to practice outside of the lessons with a friend or relative's car so I really did learn everything in just the lessons.
I would recommend it to anyone looking in the area. Thanks Boris!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with Metropolitan Driving School. Easy to find an instructor compared to other platforms. The instructor was skilled, friendly, and flexible with my schedule. When he wasn’t available, a colleague stepped in so I never missed a lesson. I passed my driving test with no driving faults. Highly recommend!
