My daughter Rachel successfully completed the GLP driver training course. It started depth classroom theory before getting behind the wheel, then the patient and knowledgeable instructors making my daughter feel comfortable driving. As parents we were always invited to go with her on lessons and we did take this opportunity on a few occasions. I would highly recommend Joan Wallace driving school for teaching teen drivers based on our experience.

I have only comunicated with Joan once by zoom but the way in which she handled the one hour long group session gave me confidence that I needed to set myself (mentally) for a senior driving test. She also put me in touch with a simulated driver course which I passed. When ICBC require me to take a drivers test I will be in contact with her to smooth off my rough edges.
