Have nothing but good things to say about Cooper! If you are an anxious driver looking for someone kind and understanding, hit up Cooper, he will not disappoint.He is awesome at:-- spotting your mistakes and working with you to teach in a way that works for you. For example, I need things to make sense logically to fully understand driving concepts. I struggled a lot with keeping the car straight and understanding which way to steer when backing up. He noticed it right away and helped me do a visual exercise where I was able to stop thinking too much and actually trust my eyes and visuals!! So helpful-- he does a debrief with you after everyone lesson and continues to adjust his teaching methods to what you need. Absolute joy to communicate with, he cares so much about you. Thanks Cooper!-- expert in traffic laws so if you've been taught to survive drive you will unlearn those, and actually becomes confident because you now know the law. It made a big difference for me.--he sends voice notes after each lesson on everything we discussed so you can keep track of everything you learned.Overall, he is so so lovely, super passionate about making YOU feel confident on the road and teaches you in a way that works for YOU. His passion for his students and making sure they become good drivers is truly awesome, and it comes through in every lesson.

Cooper is a great driving instructor. Before taking lessons with Cooper, I didn't like driving and I had a lot of anxiety whenever I got behind a wheel. However, Cooper was really patient, encouraging and knowledgeable. He was able to identify what I needed to work on and communicated this to me in an easy to understand manner. After a few lessons with Cooper, I no longer felt anxious when driving and I was finally able to pass my road test.

Can't imagine a better driving instructor. I've taken lessons from instructors that charged less, but the value of coopers instruction is many, many multiples higher. If you want the best value for your time and money, Cooper is the instructor.After I failed my first road test, I was embarrassed. Despite many hours behind the wheel with a previous instructor, I was unprepared. I could operate the car, but that was pretty much it. I missed signs, I didn't know the difference between a box turn and a traditional, I didn't know where to exactly position myself on left turns and why, etc. I was embarrassed I thought I had a chance at passing.Driving is complicated. Cooper has been teaching people how to drive since he was a teenager. He's spoken to and worked with the people that make the rules of the road here in Vancouver. He has the knowledge, but more importantly the ability to get you to understand the complexity of driving. He'll use catchy phrases like 'purple positioning' or 'greens and reds' to name the ideas you need to know.With Cooper, I also failed my second test. But this time I was proud of myself, because I knew my driving had drastically improved. I was very close to passing (the road tester agreed). And with four additional lessons with Cooper, I passed my class 7 test today.Too many people drive around Vancouver pretending they know how to drive, and hiring Cooper is the best way to ensure you don't become one of them. He is patient, easy-going, and has a good sense of humor. We need more teachers like him. I looked forward to every lesson. Thank you Cooper!

I can't put into words how amazing my experience was with Cooper.I felt my skills improve immensely each lesson I took with him and gained the knowledge I needed to do my test in a good amount of time. I felt confident for my test and passed with flying colors. I truly believe I was so prepared for my test because of Cooper.Not to mention, he was a pleasure to spend time with.Thank you, Cooper! See you in 2 years for my class 5 ;)

Cooper was an exceptional instructor. He had impeccable knowledge, and a very perceptive way of identifying your habits and driving patterns for correction. Thanks to him I passed my Class 7 first time. I feel confident in my driving and my ability to continue to improve as I gain experience going forward.

I wish I could give 6 stars! If you have any nerves about driving, Cooper is the instructor for you!! I came to driving a bit older than many folks who get their licences right away, and with a few traumatic experiences/ some pretty significant stress, but with a desire to master this skill. I'm only about halfway through my training sessions, but have grown LEAPS AND BOUNDS. A lot of the driving schools take the throw you into the deep-end" approach where you are forced into highly stressful situations with very few tools. I went to another school with that approach and despite voicing my concerns they were very dismissive and I ended up getting overwhelmed

Copper is a one in a million driving instructor.I got my learners for the first time in my mid 30s, I had zero driving experience and knew I needed an instructor. I was extremely lucky to find Cooper.He is patient, caring and supportive, he takes the time to explain the 'why' behind what he is teaching you.I had 3 lessons with other instructors and none of them came close to measuring up to Cooper in terms of teaching abilitiy and knowledge.I took my class 7 road test in Vancouver and past on my first attempt.2 years later and was preparing for me class 5 road test and I knew exactly who to call for a refresher.With Cooper's help I passed my class 5 road test, also on my first attempt.I would highly recommend Cooper to anyone looking for a really good driving instructor.

I’m so thankful for Cooper. He’s the best driving instructor ever! He helped me manage my anxiety when it comes to driving and taught me to be a calm and safe driver. Thanks to his help, I was able to pass my class 5 road test in ONE attempt. :DMy friend recommended him to me early last year as I was about to start relearning to drive. I had previously learned to survive driving, but not driving safely. Plus, I first learned to drive on the other side of the road, was always an anxious driver and absolutely despised driving. Now, I’m confident and feel comfortable driving.Cooper does his best to understand your background in driving and caters to it. He teaches everything at your own pace to ensure that you feel calm, cool and collected in order to drive safely. He also ensures that you know the reasonings and research for the driving and road rules. I also found that his summaries after class and follow-up notes absolutely useful. Cooper not only provides constructive criticism, but he genuinely motivates you to be a better driver.I’m so grateful for all his support and knowledge. I cannot emphasize this enough - he taught me to drive while previous instructors taught me to survive behind the wheel.

Cooper is very professional and friendly instructor one can ever imagine. Being someone who already has driving experience and is new to Canada, I found it very difficult to adopt new driving conditions here. Cooper was very patient with me, worked with me, understood my situation, and methodically made me unlearn a few bad practices I had and made me a better driver. I was able to get my class 5 license because of his teaching and guidance.Cooper always tries to have conversations with students to understand what they think and why they are thinking like that, in order to understand their perspectives. He always tries to have a discussion immediately after each lesson and provides personalized feedback on audio after class. His passion and dedication towards teaching always amazes me. Cooper is the best driving instructor one can ever have and I highly recommend him.

Cooper's a fantastic instructor!Absolutely to the point, and also amazing to spend time with.He makes sure that we know what we need to and how to improve ourselves! Glad to have worked with him! Totally recommended. :)
