Hi, I’m COOPER, and yes, I help new drivers.
Come and together we will set you up with the basic core skills that you need to build a very strong foundation and a good, solid pathway to a future of calm driving and solid awareness to drive safe for life.
The best way to start is to meet me at King Edward Station, which is really close to a very quiet area, perfect to get all the basic core skills built into you.
After one meeting, we can sit down and figure out what the best path is to get you set up and on the road to driving. Many drivers stay with me throughout their entire learning, right up to test day. Others mix me in with this practice person. Any path is ok with me. Whatever works, we will do it.
If you have any questions, please text me at 236-998-4268 anytime thanks, COOPER
WHAT DO YOU TEACH IN YOUR NEW DRIVER PROGRAM?
I taught a 30-hour New Driver program in Ontario for over 13 years — similar to the ones now taught in BC — with the average age around 17. After that I moved into corporate fleet work, T ransport Canada applied research, and all the rest.
For the last six years I’ve focused on high-anxiety clients, post-crash drivers, people dealing with heavy stress, and those who really struggle with the road test (my average client age now is 31).
This means I go deep on the brain, decision-making, and mental distractions, while still covering all the traditional driver training stuff. The knowledge and skills needed stay the same whether you’re 17 or 37 — you’re building an advanced set that gives you the best chance of staying safe for life.
I follow a four-pyramid structure of skills with a very strong emphasis on the base levels (L1 & L2): car control, 100% sign reading, and the actual laws. I put heavy focus on real confidence, real competence, and an honest look at the actual risks — especially for young drivers who stay high-risk right up to age 25.
With every client I walk alongside their own journey through this complex, potentially dangerous skill. I help them acquire exactly what they need so they can self-navigate the learning, pass the test, and keep growing for the rest of their driving life.
New driver research shows beginners need well over 60 hours (ICBC even recommends it) before testing. In truth, the longer they stretch their learning years — 120 hours plus — the safer they are long-term.
I help lay a rock-solid foundation using my background in driver training, crash research, and honest conversations about decision-making and independent thinking — especially when you’re alone in the car.
I don’t offer a one-size-fits-all, off-the-shelf solution like most of the industry. The information needed to truly grasp driving is vast, so I shape it specifically for each unique brain as they move forward in their life of driving.
For a more direct, packaged path straight to the driving test, the big schools offer a more dogmatic service than I do. You can read about my four pyramids here: https://ihaveevolved.com/anxiety-free-driver-training/
Many clients take full programs elsewhere or work with other trainers and just use me for check-ins or a different point of view.
I hope this answers your question.
Please feel free to ask me anything — even if you don’t hire me. Giving a new driver as much support and as many different perspectives as possible is the right path. In the end, they have to develop their own way of figuring out this lifelong, always-challenging skill.
