Astrid Lazaro

Joanne trained me to pass my PDA as I had an international license that was not valid for Australia. I went from driving automatic to manual and would like to thank Joanne for all the work and patience she has had with me. She is an excellent instructor, not only to teach you how to drive but how to be a safe driver, preparing you for the exercises/manoeuvres that will be presented in the exam. I work office hours and my schedule can be difficult sometimes, but she was always very flexible as well. Thank you so much Joanne!

My driving instructor Eve is absolutely amazing explains everything in so much detail and has so much patience and the encouragement for me to keep going is amazing I definitely recommend all my friends to my fabulous driving instructor!!

Very helpful as Sonja was very calming and able to keep my stress levels down. When I'm stressed, I tense up and it makes it hard to focus, but Sonja was able to keep everything relaxed and trusted me. Her positivity and words of encouragement made me feel more comfortable and confident when driving.

Frederick makes learning so comfortable and easy.
He is a fantastic instructor and I 100% recommend him for your lessons.

Jaiden Pearson

I am very grateful for the help that Adam Chalak provided in teaching me how to drive and ultimately making me pass the practical test on the first try. He was patient and helpful at easing me into driving on roads for the first time as he was preparing me for the practical test. He knows when it is the right time to begin working on new skills or whether without rushing you into it, and is clear about what it is you should be doing, and isn't afraid to let you know when you screw up.
Would recommend others give him a shot.

Jaxon Woollett

Thiri Htun

I just got my driving licence after i learned with Eve. i have done lots of driving lessons before with 3 or 4 instructors, but i couldn't pass my test but with Eve, driving was fun and enjoyable , even i made mistake she tried to teach me in polite and comfortable ways compared to other instructors i have met before. She was gentle and patient with me. She also dedicated to give the best teaching and easy ways to understand the rules. She also comes to work 10 or 15 mins early and makes sure I got the totally fully hour driving on the road. She is the best of the best. ????

Aiden Crommelin

Colin presents himself in a calm manner, as someone you could always talk to in a time of uncertainty on the road. If you do an action on the road and Collin instructs on how to properly do such action and you explain yourself and the reasoning behind such action, Colin is able to appreciate both sides of the story and he helps to clear up any misunderstandings that any learner has.

Melissa O'Neill

My son Cameron and I would like to thank Grant in helping him obtain his Driver's Licence. Grant is a very patient and understanding instructor he is very clear on explaining the correct driving technique.
Unfortunately we were not able to have Grant with Cameron at his second driving test (being booked out at the time with another student on a driving test) but the admin lady did all her best to try to rearrange for Cameron to have him or another instructor. Grant was extremely helpful with Cameron on his first unsuccessful Driving Test, providing support to a very nervous driver.
Cameron was successful on his second attempt using all his skills and knowledge from Grant's tutoring from past lessons and exam.

Kaya Hullen

Always very helpful. Easygoing. Great driving instructor

Scarlett Connelly

We would like to extend a huge thank you to Grant whose professional, knowledgeable and supportive instruction assisted our daughter to achieve her Ps.

Scarlett’s feedback is that Grant was an excellent teacher, he taught her so many practical and helpful tips to assist with parking and other skills for both the test and her future driving. He was so encouraging and imparted so much useful info that she now feels very confident and proficient in all aspects of her driving.

Grant was also flexible and ensured the content and duration of the lessons made them as useful as possible.

He was really, calm, friendly and positive - he made Scarlett feel at ease.

Thank you Grant for preparing Scarlett for her test and a life of driving! She is very grateful and recommends you to all her friends !

Gus Zimmerman

Charlie is the best!
My son had failed his driving test 5 times before we found Charlie. He was very helpful and coached him to deal with his anxiety on test day. After lessons he contacted me to let me know what areas we needed to work on, very helpful and full of great practical tips. As for test prep he knew the positives and negatives of all the test centers and recommended a test center that was best for my son.
Thank you Charlie, we are very grateful for your help and advice.

Matthew Dimasi

When I first started with Best West, I was a nervous wreck to say the least. I had no confidence in my driving and it genuinely seemed like a daunting task just to turn the car on, let alone one day end up sitting a test. Well, today I passed my automatic test, and I simply couldn't have done it without the help of my instructor Linda who was patient, calm and managed to turn any error I made into something I could laugh at, and later correct. Thank you very much Linda and Best West for transforming me into the confident driver I am today, would highly recommend them.

Bruce was an amazing instructor who had so much patience and knowledge.
