Hi Sylvio
Just wanted to say a big thank you for your help and encouragement in helping me to get my drivers licence today on my first attempt! You did a great job and you are great company. I would highly recommend Sylvio to other learner drivers.
Thanks again

Strive 2 drive is a excellent driving school. They organised lessons around my work schedule and made me feel very comfortable and confident in my ability to drive. Paul my instructor not only thought me the skills needed for the driving test but he also taught me how to drive in the real world. He took me out on the freeway, driving in the city and the suburbs to make sure I had every experience possible for when I would be out there on my own. He gave me the confidence and the little push I needed to book my driving test. Paul was right, I passed first time and now how my P's. Thanks Paul and strive 2 drive.

Hey Sandro,
I just wanted to say thanks a heap for helping me get my licence. I know at times being in the car with me must have been scary, if not dangerous but you hung in there, were really great at supporting and teaching me how not to crash. I'll definitely pass your name on to anyone i know learning to drive. You made this whole experience a pleasure so thank you. Also, give me a wave if you see me out and about on the road. I'll be in the lime green hotted up commodore with neons doing burnouts. Only kidding.
Cheers,
James

Hi Paul,
I just wanted to thank you for your help over the past few months. Before I started my lessons with you, I had an instructor who was hurried, unpunctual and too busy taking calls during lessons to focus on me! As a result, a lot of bad or nervous driving habits went unnoticed. But I was very impressed with the service from day one with Strive2Drive; from the prompt response to my initial enquiry to the excellent skills-focused driving lessons. During every lesson we not only focused on the skills needed to pass the driving test, but also other everyday skills required to be a safe driver. For example, I appreciated your taking me on the freeway as I was nervous about driving at high speeds. However, with family in country Victoria I knew this was something I would have to do often! Thanks to your relaxed, but persistent instruction I am now a much more confident driver and finally have my P's! I would definitely recommend Strive2Drive to anyone who wants a friendly and helpful instructor to help them become a safe and confident driver.
Thanks again,
Smita

Dear Strive2Drive
I’m ever grateful for being referred to Strive2 Drive. Any new nervous student like me would be lucky to have an instructor such as Paul. Weeks after weeks of driving lessons with Paul I passed my driving test in the first attempt. Paul thanks a ton for building my confidence and helping me get over my nerves and assisting me in driving independently. You are an extremely talented teacher and I am grateful to you. I have proudly and with great enthusiasm referred few of my friends to you….
Cheers,
Livia

Hi Sandro,
A huge thanks for enabling me to pass my license test! The greatest part was, even after I'd passed you gave me advice on continuing to drive safely and respecting my new found freedom! My first driving experience was with a different school and I can't compare my two experiences, Strive2Drive was by far a better school, not just teaching me to pass the test but for driving safely in the future. I would recommend this school to anyone learning to drive, my instructor had highly advanced knowledge of the road rules and the difference of the rules in different suburbs.
A huge thanks once again, you have been AMAZING!!
Regards,
Al

Just got my license with 100%!!!!!! Had no experience before starting with 'Strive to Drive' and after just a couple of months with Paul I've got my license. Paul is not only the very best driving instructor but he is one of the best blokes ever. I'm very glad I made the decision to Strive to Drive :-) Thanks Paul.

Hi Karen,

Hope you’re doing well. I can’t possibly describe how thankful I am to you for teaching and helping me improve my driving skills.
I had little confidence in myself as a driver but right after my first lesson with you all that nervousness and anxiety began to fade away. From my very first driving lesson with you I felt like you had a solution to every challenge a learner driver can possibly face. Your teaching skills put me at ease and I began looking forward to each lesson!

You were so patient with me when I made mistakes and even encouraged me when I felt like giving up thinking I would never get it. It almost felt like you could read what was going in my mind regarding different driving situations right from basic driving scenarios to complex maneuvers. You helped me break difficult and comprehensive driving tasks into memorable systems, that were amazingly easy to follow and hard to get wrong. You were extensively thorough with your teaching methods and taught me at just the right pace and never rushed too far ahead to simply get me through the drive test. You’ve always been flexible to accommodate my driving lessons with my work and other commitments. Your teaching methods were always both professional and personable, and you managed the strike the right balance between correcting my techniques and building my confidence just right. You’ve always been supportive and always acknowledged my driving achievements during every lesson.

Your tips for the drive test and knowledge of the testing routes used by VicRoads really helped me maintain my calm during the drive test and helped me pass without any hassles. ‘Grateful’ would be an understatement about how I feel on passing my driving test with your help.
I now have my shiny new P plates and when I drive in accordance to the skills and techniques you’ve taught me I feel very accomplished, competent and most importantly a safe driver for life.

I must thoroughly emphasize you’ve been an excellent teacher and that without a doubt you set benchmark standards that all driving instructors should strive to achieve when imparting driving skills. I would be proud to recommend you to anyone learning to drive. Thank you very much, Karen! I could have never done it without you!

Kind Regards

Hi Paul,

I found my experience with Strive2Drive to be of great value and well worth my while. The lessons were not only competitively priced but the cheapest I found. They were also helpful in catering to my needs, allowing me to fit lessons in around work. My driving instructor Paul was incredibly friendly, helpful, patient, and most of all, a great teacher. Without the help of Paul and Strive2Drive, I would not be driving now! There is so much to learn and many rules but Strive2Drive know them all and manage to keep up to date. I cannot recommend Strive2Drive highly enough. Thankyou again!

Strive2Drive have been great. Found them after searching for the driving schools in my area. Was extremely impressed by the website design and layout, which had a professional look to it compared to most other schools. Made a booking online for the 5x45min lesson package and on the same evening promptly got a call from my driving instructor - Sandro, to fix up an appointment for my 1st class.He was always on time and knew the testing routes used by the Carlton Vic Roads center. Which made me familiar and better prepared on the day of my test.Sandro was extremely patient and always provided feedback at the end of the class on what I would need to improve on.During the class we chatted about general matters and it made it a lot more personable instead of giving you the feeling that he is just there to make money. The car was well maintained and always clean.Would highly recommend Strive2Drive especially with their 1st test pass guarantee option, extremely reasonable and competitive pricing options.

Hi my name is Mahmoud Charkas and I have undertaken lessons with Sandro and done my Probationary P1 Licence test recently. I have passed the test and I am currently on my P1 Licence.

I highly recommend this driving school, as the driving lessons were very helpful and the experience was also fun. Sandro was very helpful through my learning period and very friendly. It was definitely excellent service and the prices were awesome for the amount of help that I have received. Sandro helped me pass the Probationary P1 test and at the same time taught me how to drive safely and carefully on the road. It is definitely worth going with this driving school and it makes the test very easy for you. I also got a lot of advice in tips when I would have my driving lessons. This driving school deserves a ten out of ten, very friendly and very helpful.

Hi,

I found Strive2Drive on the internet and sent an email regarding the lessons and was impressed by the immediate and prompt reply within minutes.

The first time I sat with the instructor he was so kind, patient, humble, soft spoken, good listener, honest, caring, there are actually no words that would really describe the instructor.

I knew to drive but I was so nervous that after taking the first lesson it was just different. He was patient and slowly and steadily took out my nervous and taught me every bit I should know to become a safe, confident and a competent driver in a very professional manner.

It was not never that the instructor would wind up the lessons at the exact time it was always 10 minutes more than the usual time. After the lesson the instructor would always give some tips and make me feel more relaxed.

The instructor main aim was to make me a confident driver, hats off to him for being such a patient and kind instructor.

I highly recommend strive2drive to all who want to become a safe, competent and confident driver.

Kind Regards,

After trying out many different driving schools, I finally discovered Strive2drive. In all my years of learning to drive, I have never met a more patient and determined person with a willingness to help me pass. Paul became not only my driving instructor, but also a friend who I could simply laugh with. I entirely owe my passing success to Paul and the Strive2drive driving school, whom without I would still be struggling to grasp even the basic concepts.

Hi Sandro,

"I initially learnt to drive with another driving school that just focused on teaching students to pass the test rather than ensuring that the students were able to drive confidently in all traffic conditions. My lessons with strive2drive have been very different, and very helpful in learning how to drive confidently. The instructor is a great teacher and is able to explain things clearly, and not only that, the lessons are also very enjoyable. My driving confidence and skills have greatly increased as a result of my lessons with strive2drive."
Cheers Monica

My instructor not only conducts lessons in a professional and friendly manner, but also constantly gives me handy tips to improve both my confidence and technique behind the wheel. Thank you Strive2Drive!!!
Cheers, Yvonne

I'd leave some feedback on my driving instructor Haley Cassidy. So far to date I've had 7 lessons with her, so far it has been a pleasent experience. She is very friendly and has taught me effectively and very patiently.

Hi Paul,

I’d like to thank Paul for being a great instructor to me. I found him to be very patient and understanding. He taught me all the things which I was lacking in and therefore I was able to get my license on my first attempt.
I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone.
Thanks again Paul.

Hi Sandro,

Thanks again for getting me onto my Ps!
'As a former student of Strive2Drive, I believe that their qualities of service in teaching students and setting the right examples on being safer road users are set to a maximum. Being under Sandro Panozzo's supervision, his qualities in teaching and explaining certainly helped me in becoming more of a confident driver. Not only has Sandro explained problems thoroughly but also presents his own sense of humor which helps keep students such as myself calm and relaxed whilst driving. Regardless on the way of teaching, Sandro has always managed to keep professionalism when necessary enabled me to become a competent driver. It was a privilege learning under Sandro's wing. Thank you Strive2Drive!'
Cheers,

Dear Strive2Drive,

Firstly, I want to thank Sylvio Micallef for helping me earn my P's whilst teaching me to be a better driver and fine tuning my skills on the road.

I actually had half a year of driving previously but had to stop due to my university work load. Then I continued lessons with another school this year but I had an instructor who was always taking appointment calls and stood me up for lessons three times in a row, but I've also booked a test with him!! That was when I found Strive2Drive and decided to make the switch to allow myself to take my P's without too much stress, I'm grateful to Strive2Drive for allocating me an instructor on such a short notice.

Sylvio was very friendly and understood the level of my driving skills after just one lesson around Carlton, and he taught me to react quicker and smarter on the roads, yet going through all the safety checks that I should be aware as a learner. He was also very supportive with me, building up my confidence on the main thoroughfares and during my driving test held at the Carlton VicRoads. Sylvio is an incredibly awesome teacher and I have recommended my brother to learn from him. I've also recommended my friends to learn from Strive2Drive and they too were satisfied with their lessons. Thank you again Strive2Drive for encouraging safer driving and thank you Sylvio for being a good teacher and a great friend!

Kind Regards,
Bernadette
