Kev is an incredible driving instructor. My first lesson was absolutely great — I really enjoyed it. His calm, gentle nature and professionalism put me at ease instantly. Highly recommend!
Kev picked me up right on time every lesson and always had a structured plan for what we'd work on. His knowledge of the VicRoads test routes is incredible. Passed with zero errors!
Kev made learning to drive genuinely fun! He has a great sense of humour and creates a really relaxed atmosphere in the car. I went from zero experience to passing my test in just 8 lessons.
I was absolutely terrified of driving but Kev was so patient and calm. After only 3 lessons he prepared me for the test and I passed on the first go. Couldn't recommend Freshers enough!
I converted my overseas licence with Freshers and Kev made the whole process smooth and stress-free. He knew exactly which VicRoads requirements I needed to meet and got me through first time.
Kev is calm, encouraging and incredibly knowledgeable. He never raises his voice and always explains the why behind every road rule. Freshers is genuinely the best driving school in Melbourne.
Amazing experience from start to finish. The 10-lesson package was great value and Kev knew exactly what areas I needed to work on. Passed first attempt and couldn't be happier!
I'd failed my test twice with a different school before switching to Freshers. Kev identified exactly what I was doing wrong within the first 10 minutes of our first lesson. Passed on my very next attempt!
Tried another school and failed twice. Switched to Freshers and passed on my very next attempt. Kev's VicRoads test prep is absolutely next level — I felt 100% ready walking into the test centre.
Kev is hands down the best driving instructor I've ever had. He explained every manoeuvre clearly and gave me the confidence to tackle even the busiest Melbourne roads. Passed first time!
Kev was excellent at explaining not only the science behind driving but the operation of the vehicle. He was very patient and gave me a lot of encouragement as the lesson progressed.
Kev is a top class driving instructor. He was very informative about the need-to-know building blocks of driving — adjusting seating, steering, turning corners, changing lanes, understanding blind spots. Brilliant!
Fantastic instructor — punctual, patient and professional. Kev tailored every lesson to exactly what I needed to work on. Passed my VicRoads test on the first attempt. Highly recommend Freshers!
Friendly, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. Kev spotted my bad habits early and fixed them well before test day. Free pickup from my door made everything so easy. Passed first time!
Best investment I made for learning to drive. Kev is incredibly patient and never made me feel embarrassed about making mistakes. He turned my weak areas into strengths. Passed first attempt!
I'd been putting off getting my licence for years. Kev made the whole process so easy and stress-free. Patient, flexible lesson times and an amazing pass rate. Passed first go — thank you!
The online booking system is so convenient. Got a lesson within 2 days and Kev was fantastic from the very first minute. Great value packages too — the 5-lesson pack saved me a lot of money.
Booked online and got a call back within an hour. Kev was calm, professional and genuinely cared about my progress. First attempt pass — I still can't believe it! The mock test sessions were so helpful.
As someone with serious driving anxiety, I was really nervous. Kev was incredibly reassuring and patient throughout every lesson. Passed on the first attempt — highly recommend Freshers to anyone!
Switched from another school after failing twice. Passed with Freshers on my very next test. Kev knew every VicRoads test route perfectly. Wish I had found him sooner!
