She was always on time and professional and was always very clear in her instructions. Kathy made me feel very comfortable and helped me through some of my nerves whilst also providing various route alternatives to prepare me for my test. I definitely am grateful that she gave me that push to go for my test as I have delayed it way too long and now am walking away with my Ps in my hand and a smile on my face.

Took a quick 2 hours sessions with instructor Harvy just before the test. Covered all the necessary rules and required safeties. Makes you feel comfortable and most importantly confident while driving. Overall a great student experience. Cheers!Dr. Muslih Abdul-Aziz07:03 07 May 21Sam is the vaccine for anyone nervous about driving! With his steady guidance, you'll find yourself surprised at how quickly your driving skills improve. Sam's ability to make complex driving procedures simple amaze me at every lesson. My reverse parallel parking between two cars went from being a nightmare to breeze with his steady guidance. Given my busy schedule, I had lessons in the early mornings, late in the afternoon and also during the busy traffic at mid day. But at all times, I found Sam patient, focused and attentive during our lessons. After taking a break during COVID, once I returned he ensured I was quickly back on track and made sure I was ready for the test. Book a driving lesson with Sam and you too will be amazed!Ranjana Singh10:56 06 May 21Me and my husband had to convert our overseas license and our instructor Sam was a god send for us. He is thorough, professional, patient and very polite and the license test was breeze😎..Highly recommend Sam and this driving school.Poppy Liu22:45 05 May 21I would highly recommend my instructor Sam. He is very friendly, patient, organised and experienced. Sam helped me to pass my driving test at Carlton as a learner with 0 hour previous driving experience. Thank you!Haydn02:33 05 May 21Very stressful panicked talking by the teacher and felt like I didn't get to drive. Instructor had their hands on the wheel and feet on the pedals the whole time. Barely spoke any English. They said they could pick me up at my house but between two drivers and many weeks they instructed I had to travel 2 hours to Oakleigh for my 45 min lessons. Drivers complained when I insisted they come to my house to pick me up. I do not understand the good reviews about this place.Srishtika R23:28 29 Apr 21Jason is an amazing teacher. He is professional, kind and very attentive.No matter how many mistakes I made, he was unbelievably patient and supportive which put me at ease and made me feel comfortable and relaxed to learn. He offered a lot of encouragement and appreciation which motivated me to do better.He taught me not only driving but also road rules, road craft, safe driving techniques, be courteous to other drivers, be patient and not panic if other drivers don't do the right things etc. which are valuable tips for life.He also gave several awesome tips to do things right especially for complex scenarios like reverse parking. I was able to do it right during the test only because of those tips. He is very knowledgeable.He was very organised which made booking lessons with him easy. He went the extra mile to ensure that I was happy and satisfied with my lessons. I enjoyed every lesson.

Great teacher and very patient.Arull Prakash10:28 19 Apr 21Successfully completed my test and got my full license. This was made possible by George, who is a well qualified and experienced instructor. During the entire process from the 1st class to the test day, he was there to guide me and keep me calm with his words of encouragement which is of great help during the practice runs.

Highly recommend himYi Chen12:31 05 Mar 21Bad experience with the instructors of this company. Not recommended at all. Whether you got a good or bad instructor depends on your luck. I was unlucky. (racists remark, shout at you, impatience, on the phone during lesson) There are better companies out there that allow you to pick and review the instructor.Scott Mclennan10:01 03 Mar 21Decided to learn manual with the great instructor Kevin. His knowledge and communication was always first class! Above all else, he teaches you to drive safe. I'd recommend anyone who's wanting to drive manual to look Kevin up as I couldn't be more happy with the outcome.Thanks KevinCarina Mammone09:55 26 Feb 21Jason from Master Driving School made booking sessions easy and made sure to cover all of the skills needed to pass the test! I passed my driving test on my first try, couldn’t recommend more! :)Molly Molly06:21 26 Feb 21What an amazing experience for my daughter. As a parent we only want to put our children in the best of hands when they embark on their next champters. The service blew me away. We had KATHY from the Frankston area. Kathy gave us peace of mind and without her we would have been lost. I do not regret booking my daughter in for the package deal. Best value and peace of mind you can buy. I big shout out to that beautiful human Kathy! She goes the extra mile and you can't get any better than her, she is really booked out for a reason but TRY to get her if you can! Molly and CailynZoe Tovey12:29 20 Feb 21Just got my P-plates on my first attempt thanks to David Rakhlin, by far the best driving instructor I have ever had. David is an exceptional teacher, patient and a great communicator. I learnt so much driving with him. His knowledge of the road rules and drive test is second to none, and he is meticulous in teaching safe driving techniques. My skills and confidence improved with every lesson I had with him. I would highly recommend David to anyone wanting to learn how to drive safely.Ben Symons23:47 18 Feb 21Got my Ps on my first try, all due to George’s incredible tuition and advice on driving. His car was always very clean and sanitised making it very enjoyable to drive, and his charming nature made him very pleasant to drive with. George’s communication and willingness to try fit in lesson for you shows his commitment to his students. The lessons set you up with good driving habits and prepare you well for the test. I recommend MDS and especially George for anyone who wants to hone their driving skills and better themselves on the road.Mut Koor04:20 03 Feb 21I was lucky enough to have Chris as an instructor. Not only was Chris an extremely kind and welcoming instructor, he has easily been the most informative and efficient instructor I've had. Prior to recieving lessons from him, I recieved 5 lessons already, however, I learnt more in 1 lesson with Chris then 5 with the previous instructor. I ended up passing my test with 100% and although I do like to credit myself most of the time, I have to admit that Chris deserved most of the credit. Customer service at the head office was also great at MDS. Thank you guys so much :)Rushil Vaghani22:41 01 Feb 21Highly recommend Jason as a driving instructor, he was extremely patient and knowledgeable of what the testing officers look for.

After not having driven for 7 months I was a bit nervous of hopping in the drivers seat again, however George made me comfortable and confident always giving genuine compliments when things are done right and calm criticism so I knew where I had to improve. I highly accredit George to me passing my test and would refer him to anybody! He made driving a calm experience as if it were with a qualified family member or friend! 5/5 :)))Finn Geddes10:58 09 Jul 20Great service which helped me pass my P’s.
