Reviews
I took my driving lessons with Tom about 22 years ago at the age of about 35. When I was 18, I took lessons with Lauzon but I had a horrible driving instructor....and I was traumatized to a point that I stopped driving after that. When I took my lessons again, Tom was great. While driving, he always made you feel very comfortable and more often than not, we would talk about things other than driving but he was always alert to what was going on, on the road. Any new drivers out there who is really nervous then I would recommend him and his driving school, 100%.
I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Tom at Cité Driving School! From day one, Tom made me feel completely calm and confident behind the wheel. He is incredibly patient, thorough, and genuinely cares about teaching you how to be a safe, attentive driver for life not just how to pass the test. Passed with confidence! If you’re looking for a top-tier driving instructor in Montreal, ask for Tom. Highly recommended!
