My friend recommended this school for inexperienced drivers. I had an awesome experience with George.

He's always calm and never yells for mistakes when driving. Always provides valuable advice and his in-class lessons were very important and interesting.

George is an exceptional driving teacher. Despite my foreign driving experience, he taught me patiently and provided valuable tips that helped me pass the G road test. In just two lessons, his expertise and guidance were instrumental. I highly recommend George for anyone looking to pass their driving test efficiently.

Orchard Driving School exceeded all my expectations! From start to finish, George was awesome. He was incredibly knowledgeable and very patient, ensuring I felt confident and prepared for my road test. The lesson was tailored to my pace, and the practical tips shared will stay with me for a lifetime. I can't recommend them enough for anyone looking to learn driving the right way. Thanks for everything George, I passed my test!

George is one of the best instructors you can find in Kitchener-Waterloo. The schooling/training are both easy, as he is very kind to drivers of any skill level. Thanks to him I was able to pass my G2 without any worries!

George is an absolute gem of a person. So calm and makes you feel comfortable and confident in your driving. I passed my G with just one lesson and practice with him. I highly recommend! Best ever! You will pass your test with George! 10/10

Really one of the best instructors I have ever come across. Had two in the past but none like him ever. Grateful to him for his support and advice. Nailed the test only because of him! Highly recommend anyone who’s driving for the first time. You’ll be good in no time. George is also one of the best human beings I have met. Kudos!

Just followed your car up Victoria St. You might want to explain to the trainee that signaling lane changes is kind of important. Watched him/her fail to do so twice in a 5 block stretch.

“We all make mistakes” is not an excuse for not teaching your new drivers to not change lanes when signalling the other direction almost hitting vehicles occupying that lane.

George is an absolutely incredible instructor. He was very through, patient, and kind throughout the entire process of teaching me how to drive! I passed the G2 with flying colours. He genuinely taught me everything I needed to know, and ensured that I was properly prepared on the day of my test. From the in-class instruction, to the in-car driving, I have zero complaints. I highly highly recommend orchard driving school over any other:) It was a pleasure working with George, I genuinely looked forward to the lessons and also had a lot of fun!

George is fantastic. Very knowledgeable, patient and motivating. He helped me get my pass! Great service!

George is one of the most calm and understanding instructors you could find around the KW region. He shows you all the small but crucial details of driving, and ensures you are fully comfortable and ready for the actual road test.

I wouldn't suggest this place. The instructor was not helpful, couldn't give me all the necessary tips to pass my exams. The instructor had me driving other students to their houses, picking them up/ dropping them off and didn't practice with me at the areas where most typically the exams occur. As soon as I changed instructor I passed my driving exam.

George is an experienced instructor who is very kind and patient. He teaches very well, is very knowledgable about the requirements that G2 and G instructors ask for, and helps his students build good habits

George is extremely responsive to all my calls and messages. Each time I would schedule an in-car driving lesson, he is quick to reply and confirm his availability.

As an instructor, he is patient and super chill. His positive attitude helped me focus when driving. I find his driving tips extremely helpful as I was able to apply what I learned during my road test, which I passed!

I highly recommend Orchard Driving school. I learned to drive there for my G2 license. George is attentive and professional instructor, he taught me everything I needed to pass the test. He identifies your problem areas and works with you on improvement. I was a pleasure to learn driving with him and I never felt stressful.

George was an amazing diving instructor! He is always ready to meet you where you're at and provides calm, careful instruction. As someone who was anxious about driving before my lessons, George was able to make it seem like it was no big deal. Booking lessons was also very simple and the communication was easy. I just passed my G2 road test, thanks George.

I give it 1 star because its there is no option for 0. I tried to get a refund and so far they have ignored my request and have failed to give me my money back. It has been 5 days and they have not responded to my emails or my calls. Very unprofessional place.

I passed the G2 test and did perfectly all because of my instructor George! He made in-class sessions fun and interesting and made the in- car driving experience a safe, comfortable, and positive learning environment. George helped me become a more confident driver and helped me master the skills I needed more work on, in a calm and respectful manner. I definitely recommend George and the driving school to anyone who is learning how to drive!

George was a great driving instructor. He is so friendly, encouraging, and calm. He really helped me prepare by practicing my weaknesses until I was comfortable and got them perfectly. I enjoyed and looked forward to these lessons. Would recommend to anyone looking for a driving instructor in KW!

I registered for the September 1st class. Upon arrival I was told that there were too many students in the class and I was turned away. I had a confirmation email saying I was registered. I worked around my work schedule in order to make it to these classes and it was a waste of my time. Extremely unprofessional and disorganized. How do you not know you have more students then you can fit in the class? Also the building looked messy in and out. It was sketchy af. My friend got up early despite having not slept well to drop me off to my class, and I was just so mad that being turned down not only inconvenienced me but her as well since she got up early. I booked with another school because Orchard driving school doesn't deserve my money after being so inconsiderate and such an inconvenience. Like how can you even run a business like that if you can't count properly? On top of that I sent an email addressing the situation before putting up a review and never got a response. It's been 3 days! You should be checking emails daily if you're trying to run a business. I also found a lack of communication on the website and very delayed email responses prior when I had questions before they disappointed me. I'm a very busy person and to waste my time like that is just so stupid and unprofessional. I'm sure that other people like myself were turned down for the same reason. You can't do that to people! Why not just be smart and say the class is full so book for a later date? It's REALLY not that hard I mean.come on.

I made a registration on Aug 19 for the September 1st class. I made some arrangements. My husband took 4 days off work to stay with our baby, and when I came to class as per the confirmation email they had sent, they didn't take me in, claiming they didn't have a spot for me! Seriously? !
What about the confirmation email? !
Don't you know how many students you have registered for the program? You think people have nothing to do?
Very unprofessional!
Also, school was dirty and gave me a very first bad impression! I recommend that you should look for another school!

Went to driving school here, as well as doing the in car portion with George. He is super knowledgable and is super nice, would highly recommend.
30 January 2019 10:43
Great experience overall! The training course was easy to understand, passed with high 90s. The lessons were very collaborative and the information was very well taught:). Ontop of that it is near the university so there is alot of food options for lunch break to enjoy.

George is the best! He's a great instructor and super nice, and he made learning to drive super relaxing. Highly recommended!

Overall great experience. George was a very patient instructor with good insight into how we would be evaluated on the driving test. Highly recommend.

George is an absolutely amazing teacher. The classes were great, in-car driving was easy and instructions were clear. Felt relaxed and confident the whole way through because of him. Passed my G2 test on my first attempt and I owe it all to him. Would definitely recommend!

Instructor is patient, understanding, and explains everything very well. Overall an amazing experience!

I was always afraid to drive and didn't get my G1 until I was in my thirties. George was the perfect instructor to teach me the rules of the road. He is calm, patient, and explains manoeuvres like parallel parking and three point turns so they make sense. I passed my road test today, and it's all thanks to George.

Amazing instructor. I’m not great at paying attention or focusing very well, but the instructors patience and experience were extremely helpful and I somehow remember it all. They understand that you probably don’t enjoy learning about road rules all that much so they make sure to be engaging and don’t just sit there talking for hours on end. I found it great how they provided tips and tricks to use on the test and for driving in general. Taking small steps for the in-car portion and providing easy ways to remember how to park perfectly helped me quickly improve my skills. Overall 10/10 experience, passed G1 and G2 first try.

Perfect all 'round.

Classes were taught well. We somehow got through the entire book without needing to actually sit and read alone. He taught everything from it. He answered all my questions.

The homework is very do-able. The instructor is always there to help you understand anything you don't.

Just did my first ever driving today. It was a breeze. Instructor is super calm, tells you exactly what to do, and takes care of everything for you. He watches everything, corrects you, and makes sure you're safe even if you have no clue what the hell you're doing. Plus he encourages you to take initiative and do your best to follow the rules. He won't stop you from looking over your shoulder and in your mirrors even if you're having trouble concentrating on just gas/brake/stop/lights.

He can do the driving with you on most days, most times. You use his car for it, at no extra charge. 2 hours per session. He picks you up at your place, it's very nice. He lets you use his car for the road test too, for like ~$75.
