COMMENTS ABOUT SEAN FROM CLIENTS

Sean has fit into our business really well and his students have made some very positive comments about him.

Here are some examples of clients’ comments about Sean. Also see our Testimonials From Clients page:

“Erica and Sean were amazing and so accommodating as we tried to navigate this process from Kelowna for our son. Sean took him out twice before his test and then the day of his test came early and calmed our son down and reviewed important information with him. Our son PASsED after two attempts elsewhere and we know Sean had everything to do with it! Thanks to a great teacher!”

Josie P. – September 2025

Sean is the greatest coach i ever had on my journey to passing my drivers test, during our lessons he was a very picky instructor and would frequently outline the mistakes I make, afterwards he explains what is the best way to learn from them.

More importantly, Sean has always told each of his students to drive safely and smoothly. Moreover, whenever he believes you are ready to take the test there is no objection as every student he taught always passed. He constantly told his students to look back at the mistakes they did and discover what ways can we to do to prevent making these mistakes again.

If you need a coach to improve your driving skills, I would highly recommend Sean.”

Joshua K. – July 2025
