About Richard
Your Instructor
I'm Richard Cooke, a certified driving instructor based in Kingston. I teach new drivers going through Beginner Driver Education with our partner school, and private students getting ready for their G2 and G road tests.
Every lesson is built around you. We work on the skills you actually need, I explain the reasoning behind each rule, and at the end of every lesson I go over what you did well and what to focus on next. Two‑hour lessons give us time to get from your door to the right practice areas and make real progress.
Expert panel
I'm on the expert panel for the Ontario G1 practice tests on G1.ca and Tests.ca, where I reviewed the question bank for practical driving accuracy.

What Students Say
"Having Richard as my driving instructor was an absolutely phenomenal experience. Before joining this driving school, I had never been behind a wheel, and didn't have any confidence with driving. Just a few lessons got me fully confident and equipped me with all the knowledge and skills needed to drive, and pass any road test. Such a blast driving with Richard, was very enjoyable and funny, has great stories and provides very good theoretical and practical knowledge on driving. Whether you're a complete beginner or not, forget any other place. This driving school is phenomenal."
"I had great experience with my instructor Richard. He's making the learning process fun! you can be your self with him, very patient and approachable. He explains everything you need to know for your test. I felt confident driving on the road after a couple lessons with him. I am very thankful I found this driving school and I definitely would recommend this to anyone!"
"I took driving lessons over the summer and got my G2 on the first try, with many thanks to my instructor Richard. I would definitely recommend Richard for anyone who is learning to drive here, as he is a patient, kind and helpful instructor. He is never late and it was much easier to schedule lessons with him. No last minute cancellations, and I learned a lot and got comfortable on the road very quickly."
"I did my in car lessons with Richard Cooke. He is a very nice and funny guy. I just passed my G2 thanks to all of his great tips. He teaches you everything you need to know about the road and more!"
"Excellent experience with Richard as my driving instructor! He was approachable, explained all concepts well, and had me driving well by my second lesson. Believed in me more than I did, and really worked with me on all the parts of my test I was uncertain about to make sure I was confident and able to complete them all. Was also very funny and had cool stories."
"I had a great experience with Richard as my driving instructor! He provides firm and constructive criticism and makes sure to note areas of improvement and strengths at the end of each lesson so you know what you're doing well and need to improve on. He has really helped me with my fear of driving and confidence behind the wheel."
