Excel Drive Driving Students

The following comments are taken from the letters and emails we regularly receive from satisfied graduates of our driving course.

I just wanted to drop a quick email to say thank you Tony!  Tony Barrow is an exceptional teacher and I can honestly say that I could not have passed my test without him. I happily recommend him to anyone who wants a great teacher to teach them to drive.

You probably won't remember me (and that's OK) but I just wanted to thank you for helping me get my P's three years ago. I have no idea what I would do now if I couldn't drive as my licence has brought me my wings and indepdence again that I lost when I moved to the Western suburbs.
My world has opened up and it still surprises my dad when I tell him about me driving through the heart of the city during peak hour.  I mean really, it's not that hard, right? 
I hope that you can continue to bring the freedom to other late bloomers like me for many years to come.

quote_openI am writing to express my gratitude for one of your drivers.  I have just passed my probation licence test at Carlton today and have a wonderful member of your team to thank.  Reg Naidoo has been teaching me how to drive since December last year.  Prior to Reg I was with another driving school where I felt I was not getting the correct tools to drive in an inner city suburb and told to book my test in a suburban area to pass.
Reg is wonderful at teaching, explaining and has the patience of a Saint and I coudn't thank him more for giving me the confidence on the road I have today.  I hope teachers like this are rewarded and recognised for their contribution.  I will highly recommend Excel Drive and Reg to anyone I know who is looking for an instructor.quote_close

quote_openMy name is Michaela and I recently had seven driving lessons with Dalla Booth in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, which resulted in me passing my driving test. I just want to say how great Dallas was throughout the whole experience.  
Prior to him I had lessons with an instructor from RACV which turned me completely off driving, while Dallas made me feel comfortable and safe.  I think he's a great guy and instructor, he deserves the recognition for really taking the time to help people like myself his and help in building the confidence for something as important as driving.
Thank you Excel Drive, you have all been great throughoutquote_close

I'd like to express my thanks to Megan McLaughlin, the Excel Drive Instructor with whom I did a few lessons in presparation for my driving test.  Megan seemed to me a highly qualified and experienced instructor, she's a real professional - she immediately spotted the weak areas of my driving and was consistent in improving them. She was very supportive and knowledgeable, giving me clear, consise instructions which I appreciated so much. Thanks to Megan my driving has improved greatly and I've become more confident and comfortable on the road.  I was successful in obtaining my licence first time and would definitely recomment Megan to anyone learning to drive

I found Excel Drive through the University of Sydney Access website and went for the pack of 5 option with a free 6th lesson.  Michael McVickers was a fantastic instructor, I learnt a lot in every lesson with him and I very comfortably passed the driving test on my first go at Five Dock!  
Thanks very much Michael, I'll definitely be recommending you to my friends!

Growing up in a household where both parents are not drivers, getting my learner's permit wasn't a priority for me.  I FINALLY decided at the age of 27 to get my act together and get my L's!  My driving instructor was David and I have noting but praise for him.  He wasn't pushy or forceful....he understood I needed more time than others in preparing for my P's.  
He was kind, knowledgeable, supportive and funny.  I got my P's the first time round and would recommend David Campbell and Excel Drive to anyone interested in learning to drive.
Many thanks again.

I would like to express my gratittude to my driving instructor, Brian Dapcevic, in assisting me to obtain my driver's licence.  Brian made the process so easy and took the time to find the best way to explain things to me that made my learning not only relevant but also enjoyable.  After my weekly lessons with Brian I was able to obtain my licence.
I believe that Brian is an excellent instructor, very calm and so friendly - this helped to make the process a lot less stressful and gave the confidence to not only obtain my licence, but also to continue to drive comfoortably and safely.
I was impelled to email and let you know of the great service received from Excel Drive.  I will be recommending Brian to others in the future.
Louise, New South Wales

I would like to extend my gratitude to you and to your company for providing me a driving instructor who is indeed patient, expert and professional. Her name is Rhonda Hopkins and I would like to commend her competence and commitment to her job. She is a very good instructor.

no pass without you

To Dmitri - A big thank y ou for all your help with my lessons while I was in Melbourne.  I did my test and passed first time!  I can still hear you when I'm driving.... 'head check, head check'  I couldn't have passed the test without you!  I'm so happy and so relieved.  Thank you again!

I had the pleasure of taking four one-hour lessons from Domenic Gulli, who was able to put me (quite nervous before the first lesson) at ease with his great rapport-building skills. Domenic was positive, patient, calm, attentive, knowledgeable, encouraging and motivating in every lesson. Being a 38 year-old driver who previously held a full licence issued overseas but expired seven years ago, I also appreciated that I had an instructor who was never condescending when giving advice.

Hi, my name is Ebony.  I recently did my lessons with Alin Daju who is a driving instructor with Excel Drive.  I just wanted to thank Excel Drive for giving me such an awesome instructor. I always looked forward to my lessons, and although I should have been excited to get my P's I was actually disappointed that was the end of my lessons with Alin.  Alin was a great instructor and I will definitely be recommending Excel Drive to anyone I know that needs lessons. He had a lot of patience and great sense of humour.  So, thank you so much to you guys and a big thanks to Alin

thank you for awesome instructor 4

I just wanted to write to you to say a huge THANK YOU to your driving instructor, Andrew Borecki. It has been a couple of months now since I passed my driving test (first go too) and I am still driving on the roads with great confidence. Before I had started my lessons with Andrew, I couldn't have said the same - I was extremely afraid and very hesitant about driving. His teaching by far, has exceeded my expectations. I think Andrew is a fantastic driving instructor and is a great asset to Excel Drive!

Dear Michael,
This note is to express our appreciation for the wonderful teaching our daughter Jess received through Excel Drive.  We wanted only female instructors and we found they were all skilled and knowledgeable.
Our special thanks must go the Megan McLaughlin, however, as we noticed (and felt) a visible difference to Jess' dirving after her first lesson with Megan.  Megan seemed to understand Jess' needs and supplied her with a level of knowledge and insights that increased her completence on the road.  
Jess developed a good foundation of skills through your driving school and passed her driving test the first time. We are parents who take road safety and the skilling-up of young drivers very seriously, and it is with this in mind that we were so impressed with Megan's approach to teaching.
Please pass Megan our thanks.
Yours sincerely,
Catherine & Stephan Leppert, Victoria
