Fantastic experience: Gary taught me sound and practical skills to improve my driving, I was nervous and had had previous teachers who did not teach good driving habits so he was very patient and calm despite everything, I am grateful to him for helping me get my license and for improving my driving overall

Fantastic experience: I found Lmate very professional in the one lesson my daughter attended and very thorough with how the instructor was explaining things and good driving habits to my teenage daughter. I will be rebooking lessons again in the next day or so Tina

Fantastic experience: My experience with Gary was great. I just needed one class to take the driving exam to transfer from an international drivers licence to an Aussie one and he taught me everything I needed to know. He’s firm but calm. Really nice guy.

Fantastic experience: I have failed 2x in the test even though I am fully licensed to drive in my country. So, I decided to do 7 hours driving with Lmate/ Garry instructor to understand Australian traffic rules and it was essential for me. I passed in the test on the first go after my lessons with Garry. He is extremely professional and takes driving very seriously at all times repeating the maneuvers, and putting me on the situations where I needed to improve and learn. Lmate methodology not only helped me to understand Australian traffic rules but also made me feel more confident on myself, keep focus ‍♀️ and learn from my mistakes.

Fantastic experience: I recommend Lmate Driving School 100%. The instructor was professional, competent, thorough and patient, and the vehicle provided was immaculate and a recent model. I really enjoyed the lessons, and now have my full DL. Couldn't be happier!

Fantastic experience: Gary was punctual and very patient. A great teacher very clear instructions.

Fantastic experience: Gary is the best driving instructor in Sydney!!! I was nervous first starting out but he really helped and built my confidence over time through his amazing structured lessons. He is extremely, calm and polite which led to me doing many lessons with him for the past 6 months. He provides you help on mistakes you make by indicating clear instructions on what you could do next time whilst giving you credit for good driving. He has one of the best teaching skills out there. Also the price is cheap compared to other driving instructors out there. Would 100 percent recommend to others.

Fantastic experience: Very professional instructor and knows what he's doing

Negative experience: Hope he’s more patient and friendly with his other clients because he wasn’t with me. You’re a “learner” for a reason. I would understand more if it was my 10th session but it was my first ever driving lesson after a year. He’s strict and it’s a good thing but no need to be “mad” if there’s a mistake. If you’re having a bad day, don’t take it on your clients

Fantastic experience: He is very professional in the way he talks and he got me ready for the exam for my p license and I passed first pop I would recomend him whole heartedly

Fantastic experience: Gary is a an absolute legend. I did my driving test in Bondi Junction and passed thanks to his tips and understanding of what it takes to be a great driver. Highly recommend him for your lessons.

Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test first try :) They don't charge a ridiculous amount like other schools- would recommend hour and a half lessons at a minimum, they go fast. Thank you so much Garry! edit: I've seen other reviews suggesting the instructor is rude- he's not at all. Road safety is no joking matter. They will make sure you take the safety of yourself and others on the road seriously.

Negative experience: He is so rude and impatient, makes you so nervous instead of helping.

Negative experience: Very rude.

Fantastic experience: Garry is very professional (calm, friendly, punctual and many more). He is one of the best in Bondi area. I don’t have prior driving experience, and always trend to do mistakes and repeat those again and again, but Garry is so clam and patience he guided me and never force me for more tests or training. I took almost 50 plus hours only because I was not confident in me but he is so confident in me and always ask me to give a test. It was because of his training and mock tests I got my P1 license today and I’m so much happy. One thing for sure he made me a safe driver ! Sorry for my countless errors and thanks for your patience mate!!! Highly recommended!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I had a couple of driving lessons with Garry and a RTA test with his car today.
