Boyd S

great teacher and nice guy

Michael C

Pilato was a nice and relaxed instructor but still pointed out everything I needed to know to pass the tests. I was upgrading my licence to a manual and after two lessons managed to pass. Pilato made sure he was able to squeeze me in before my test after having to reschedule due to sickness. I'd definitely recommend him.

Pilato is a lovely guy, very chill yet decisive when he needs to educate. Great instructor!

Makayla R

He was so kind and so encouraging, I don’t think I could have passed my test if it wasn’t for him. I have so much to thank him for!

Kavisha V

Pilato was an amazing instructor. He identified all the mistakes I was making and helped me to correct them. He guided me on the things I should expect during the test. The manual test at the Toowong centre is known for being one of the most difficult in qld and I would have not passed it without his help.

Pilato was a brilliant instructor, having already gained my auto licence, I needed my manual licence for work, and Pilato was so patient with my kangaroo hoping at first, and after just a few lessons I was able to drive confidently enough to get my manual licence on the first attempt. I am so happy that My Driving School has Pilato as an instructor, I highly recommend him to others who need a patient and caring instructor.

M K

I’m writing a review to say that Pilato is an absolutely amazing driving instructor! His skills, technique and reassurance gave me the confidence to pass my manual driving test. He corrected all my mistakes including ones involved in difficult, busy roads, especially when it came to judgement/decision making and pushed me every step of the way in the most positive, affirming way possible. I could not be happier nor thank him enough. He really teaches you how to be an excellent driver.

So if you want a chill, kind, straightforward driving instructor who will guide you correctly, look no further. I’d recommend him to everyone wanting to learn how to drive properly. 11/10 from me! :)
