Fantastic experience: I couldn't be happier with my experience learning from Ricky. Patient, calm, and incredibly understanding, he took the time to accommodate my needs and build my confidence on the road. Every lesson was tailored to address areas where I was not confident, and he always ensured I was comfortable with the pace before moving on. His teaching style is very clear and never rushed always encouraging. I would highly recommend Ricky to anyone looking for an instructor who genuinely cares about their students’ success.

Fantastic experience: I did my manual upgrade with Ricky. He is a patient instructor, whose drawing makes learning easy. Previously, I met some bad instructors, which discouraged me from getting a manual license. I am glad that I finally met someone nice. It was nice to meet you, Ricky. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Amazing!

Fantastic experience: Ricky was an amazing instructor! He took his time and broke down everything so you could understand it. Went out of his way to tailor everything so then coming to the test was a breeze!!

Fantastic experience: As someone with diagnosed ADHD and driving anxiety, I Highly recommended getting lessons here. Before booking lessons with my instructor here, Ricky Norris, I had failed 8+ driving tests. (I’ve had lessons before. It was due to build up of small errors). So as a last hope, I booked two 90 minute Sessions with Ricky — and within three days, I passed my test in West Perth. Ricky was patient, articulate, and tailored his teaching to my needs. I could easily tell Ricky is passionate about his Job, who is confident in his students. People with learning disabilities, Neurodevelopmental disorders and anxiety often slip through the cracks in driving culture. Now that I have my license, I can finally get myself to uni instead of taking two hours of public transport. I now have a livelihood and the independence the neurodivergent community needs. Thank you Ricky !!!!

Fantastic experience: I had a really good experience with this company and would recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Would recommend 100%

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Ricky from DRIVE - Perth's Driving School. From a parents perspective, Ricky related well with our son and he passed on his 2nd attempt (manual license). Very knowledgeable and gave detailed information on what could be improved during practice, and what would be needed for this test. What I found interesting at the West Perth DOT - the "Drive - Perth's Driving School" instructors (not just Ricky) appeared to have a great report with the examiners. Always friendly, joined in the Examiner / Student meet and greet and also the debriefs at the end (pass or fail). I didn't see many other driving school instructors have so much interaction. Highly recommend Ricky as your next driving instructor (and I'm sure all the other "Drive" instructors are just as good). Thanks very much Ricky and the team from Drive - Perth's Driving School

Fantastic experience: Ricky is a great instructor, very supportive and a great teacher would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I thought driving wasn’t for me and I would never be able to drive on my own, but thanks to Rory I have gained different skills that I feel safe and comfortable when driving. I had different instructors and nothing worked for me and I always dropped the lessons until I enrolled with this school and took lessons with Rory. First, I just have to say Rory has been very patient and he is very knowledgeable about developing driving skills in beginners. I am more confident about my driving skills. Rory uses different strategies which really makes this process easier and clear. Paying for quality and for safety in the long-term is something we should all be aware when it comes to driving. Choosing this school was the best decision and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Passed thanks to rory

I would like to thank Roary big time for bis efforts and support hé provided.

Fantastic experience: Hello Aspirants Greetings, this is review is my own experience and assessment of Rory Osullivan who has been my driving instructor few times in last couple of weeks. I am a driver of almost 18 years and have an international driving license. Some organisations in WA does not accept International Driving License, that’ means for some specific mining jobs one need to have WA driving license and that’s why I approached Driver-Perth Driving School. Steve, the owner of the driving school put me with Rory keeping my background in view as I already have not been deemed competent 3 times in a row. What Rory taught me has actually shocked me of how bad my driving skills were? I was disappointed and deeply saddened evaluating my own below average driving skills, but thank goodness that I haven’t had any crash or injury whilst I was in the road. Rory has actually enlightened my self, my driving skills, knowledge, road side etiquette, being a safe driver and not just a driver, and above all gaining me the confidence back into me to be able to pursue my PDA again. Rory is a perfect instructor who has taken my driving skills and knowledge on to the next level, and made me an aware driver. He is an instructor who is brilliant, knowledgeable, quite simple yet straight forward, exploring knowledge not using trial and error but mentoring using simple language and other tools. So, as a Novice driver I personally believe that he is THE BEST instructor in Western Australia/ Perth region. I have done some driving lessons with couple of other instructors few times but now when I evaluate their lessons with Rory has taught me, that’s an eye opener. Thugs who simply tells you that they are driving instructors, which is totally lie and inappropriate. We loose money and nothing else, because they don’t teach you, but they take undue advantage of your ignorance and unawareness. Be careful and don’t fall into their traps. Rory is the best I can tell you. PS: people May feel free to email me if they wish to discuss any other details.

Fantastic experience: Lessons are good fun but also learn a heap to be a good & safe driver!

Fantastic experience: Grateful to have had Lewis Kolb as my driving instructor. Couldn’t ask for anyone better, thoroughly enjoyed learning from him and would definitely recommend to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I am so happy I pass the PDA last Wednesday . A big THANK YOU to my driving instructor Rory ; who gave me guidance & helped me to feel confidence on the road and to pass the test 1st time. A true fantastic instructor who not only taught me to drive ; but also to be a safe driver for the rest of my life. Specially after I moved to 3 countries (right hand driving in SL then left hand driving in Norway again right hand in WA ), I had loads of bad habits . However I was so lucky to get a professional instructor like him who is very calm and has lots of patients with my long term bad driving habits. His positive attitude and his words of encouragement gave me so much strength during the lessons. He’s a very friendly person who knows the art of handling students without being stressed out , which makes students very comfortable I ve been to 3 driving schools in 3 countries but I should say he is one of kind instructor . You are lucky if you learn under him. He is a great instructor ,I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Rory Nilmini .

Fantastic experience: If you want to succeed in your PDA Lewis is the right instructor for you! Patient and experienced, he knows all the details that you must know to pass!!!

Fantastic experience: Rory is a very astute instructor. I can feel I have gained a lot of knowledge which let me pass the pda test. It seemed like a hopeless situation for me when I started. I am very grateful for the instructions Rory gave me.

Fantastic experience: Great teacher, patient, kind and good for a few laughs

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Victoria Park driving school for those who want to have throughout lessons and driving experience before commencing to the real test. Knowledgeable instructors, high technology learning material/navigation, comfortable cars and precise appointments are some of benefits you will get when learning here. Rory, one of the instructors has given me useful advice to well prepare for the driving assessment. Affer few useful sessions and one mock test, I have passed the test and got my full driver license finally. Thank you and keep the great work!

Fantastic experience: After failing 8 times with a different instructor, coming to Drive i was told a list of things that i had no idea i was doing wrong and managed to pass first time

Fantastic experience: I failed my driving test in the UK five times with different instructors before learning with my uncle Steve whilst he was visiting from Australia. Even though he had a very limited time to teach me, he got me through my test quickly, and his structured teaching programme eliminated the nerves I had had about driving, which had been the main factor in causing me to fail my previous tests. I passed my test with only two minor faults. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: After trying out a few driving instructors, I found Lewis at Drive to be extremely helpful. He made learning to drive fun and relaxing, allowing me to pass on my first go!

Fantastic experience: I've been driving for almost 9 years, I still had a lot to learn. What sets Drive Perth apart from others is that the instructors don't just focus on our success in assessments. They work with us on our driving ability. After taking lessons with them, I'm quite confident that I'm much more a safe driver. My sincere thanks to them.

Fantastic experience: I was fortunate enough to have Lewis as my instructor. After not driving for over 5 years, he immediately identified areas of my driving that needed improvement. His knowledge and instruction were excellent. I highly recommend Drive Perth's Driving School and Lewis.

Fantastic experience: Rory was an absolute pleasure to have as my instructor. He’s stuck by me through all my painful mistakes and gone above and beyond what any normal instructor might. I seriously couldn’t have passed my test without him!

Fantastic experience: Rory was the most patient, understanding and lovely, friendly driving instructor for my son. He was very anxious about driving and Rory was just fantastic with him. I can’t recommend him enough. My son passed his test first time and with Rory’s guidance is a great and safe driver. Cant thank or recommend you enough Rory. Leonie

Fantastic experience: Rory O’Sullivan was my driving instructor from this company, and I could not have been more impressed with his exceptional service. Rory is a very relaxed and extremely likeable teacher, he is immensley thorough and methodical, and ensures that his students completely understand all concepts and manouvers. Rory caters to each students individual needs to allow them to be comfortable with the roads and their drving ability. He is patient and a delight to drive with. Overall I would not hesitate to reccomend him and am very thankful for him for getting me to the point where I am now, a knowledgeable and confident P-Plater!

Fantastic experience: I had my learners permit for 2 years. I failed around 8 driving tests (using other driving schools). Finally passed after using Drive Perth (for only 3 lessons)! I had Rory, and Miles for lessons. They helped me finally pass! Its definitley worth the few extra dollars.
