Happy CLIENTS

An excellent course. As someone who had high anxiety when it came to driving, Michael was able to make me feel extremely comfortable in a short amount of time. Extremely calm personality, was very kind when teaching and passed on my first try for the road test all thanks to him. Highly recommend it if you are nervous to drive or don't have any previous experience.

Mikayla Marshall

Contacted Northstar Driver Training to help my son as he was preparing to take his driver test. The owner Micheal, was great to deal with and took my son out on the road to assess how many lessons would be required. He recommended a lesson the day prior to test, and on day of test a refresher prior to testing. My son successfully completed his road test.

Keith O'Brien

The course was amazing. I highly recommend for new or even returning drivers. Micheal makes sure to have a safe learning environment and encourages mistakes to be made and corrected. Best class I could've taken!

Chloe Sweet

Undoubtedly, one of the coolest and best teachers I've ever met is Michael. He believed in me more than everyone else. The way he spoke with me, how explained my mistakes, it's how a true teacher looks like. His humble attitude & great personality fascinated me.

Narmina A.

We were very pleased with Michael's instruction, communication and the individual attention provided during driver training. He went above and beyond to make sure my daughter was fully prepared for her road test and she passed on her first try.

Wendy Guzzwell

Highly recommend this driving training service! He is one-on-one which is better than other services as he can remember what you need to work on each time you practice. With others, you have multiple trainers so they don't know what you were lacking on your previous training. I passed my road test the first time.

Nikita Marchand

I have very bad social anxiety and struggled for 6 years to finally get my license. I feared the road test, being judged, and being near people. As a last resort I went to driving school. Michael is a great person to teach people to drive. He is patient, friendly, understanding and always focused on the job and task at hand. Today I got my full license and am convinced I wouldn't have gotten it without Northstar Driver Training.

Tori DeGrace

Great service and flexible hours for the in car sessions. He is super nice as well, no reason to feel nervous with him. I passed my road test first try with his help!!

Zoë McNeil

Michael was super kind and understanding. He made sure that I understood what was right and wrong and helped me thankfully ace my road test. He is very encouraging him and made me feel safe on the road, super cool dude!

Sinnojr

My instructor Mike was a person so kind, patient and smart, he made me feel all the time safe and valuable. The 35 hours of classroom has very good material, videos that made it interesting. The 10 hours in-car instruction was very helpful, entertaining, and all the time made me feel I am able to do it.

Gipope Gipope

Michael showed me how I made mistakes and more importantly gave me a lot of time to practice in order to correct them. Michael is also an effective communicator, strong motivator and a good problem solver. I have learned a great deal from Michael.

Hung Bui

I could not say enough positive things about NorthStar Driver Training. Michael is a fantastic instructor who knows everything about driving and teaching learners of all ages! I am a mature newly licensed driver and the credit goes to NorthStar! I will contact NorthStar in the future for my daughter.

Kathy Tucker

Not only were the online classes very through and taught me a lot, my instructor was a great person and teacher too. He taught me all the little tricks you need to know for the test and everyday life. He really paid attention to the skills I needed to work on and helped improve those skills. The drop off and pick up service was also a plus if you don't have anyone to to bring you to meet him.
