This session can be rolled into the $170 package if you decide to continue. 

Five ninety minute lessons


KING EDWARD STATION is where most sessions start – close to a very quiet calm area. Different pickup locations are possible within reason once you are able to handle more traffic. 


I can also help with test prep with my extensive Transport Canada Applied Research training as a senior assessor. 

My passion is helping those who struggle with multi failed tests or those who struggle with stress, anxiety and fear with driving. 

My average client age is 31 many of who have tried learning several times. To date there are more than 500 people who are driving today by following my Calm Driving methods. 

My background is extensive and varied. Come try once 🙂 Come get yourself on the road to Calm Driving today. 

I would love to help.

KING EDWARD STATION or other spots within reason is where we start. Mainly I am Vancouver based but also I do go to Richmond and Burnaby. Many calm drivers take their tests in Richmond and Burnaby hence we eventually move to there for pre test prep.

My background is more than 16 years working with all kinds of drivers aged 16 to 91 including corporations, fleets including research study work with Transport Canada.

Since 2018 I have worked for six different transportation organizations learning B.C. driver training industry preparing to manage my own clients.
