Paul Beach

My name is Paul Beach. I am fairly new to the area but have visited here my entire life as both my parents and grandparents were raised in Smiths Falls.

I lived most of my life in Kitchener, Ontario where I worked at an insurance company and was laid off due to them being bought out, and that’s where my driving career began.

I obtained my AZ licence for truck driving in 2003 and then my B license for driving a bus the same year. I drove a school bus for 2 years and then moved over to driving city buses in 2005. 2 years later, I started training new bus drivers and continued that until I retired from the job in 2020.

I moved to Smiths Falls in January of 2021 and applied at First Route Driving School as an instructor, got the job received the in-class and in-car training and passed all tests required for the job. I enjoy being an instructor because I can pass down all the knowledge and experience I have had over the last 40 years of being licensed. I look forward to meeting you and putting you on the road to be a good, safe, and defensive driver.

10/10 would be an understatement

I really liked the school. The whole theoretical part and practical. What I liked most was learning to drive correctly with the wonderful instructor Paul. He is a true professional. He taught me to drive and not be afraid to drive. I learned to be confident while driving and to perform actions step by step. Thank you to the school for great professionals.💛🙌
Fantastic team to work with. Courteous, professional and friendly. Great experience with Ray all round!!

Passed my G2 Driving Test today!I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a lot of anxiety going into the program due to my limited driving experience, and even just the nerves from being in a car and learning with a new person. However, I can honestly say that taking this program was the best decision I could've made. I had the pleasure of working with Ray Cronkwright, a kind, patient and experienced instructor who truly helped boost my experience and knowledge behind the wheel, as well as getting me to the point of feeling secure and confident of my abilities when walking into my G2 test this morning. So with that being said, thank you kindly to First Route Driving school and Ray Cronkwright for my success in my G2 Test, and if you are considering choosing this establishment for your lessons, I would 100% recommend this one.Thank you for reading,-Coral Burke

I just passed my G2 test with the help of Rafael at first route! He gave great pointers and advise which helped me stay calm and execute my test very well. I reached out to first route for my in car lessons 9 days before my test, and Rafael managed to fit me in for half of my lessons before then. Easily 5 stars!
I had the pleasure of working with Hugh and Raf for my G2 and I couldn't be more pleased. The patience that was given and the ways in which they taught really boosted my confidence on the road. I had my g2 test in Smith falls where Raf had help me prep prior to my test and he is absolutely amazing!!! 5 stars.....money well spent... I am excited to start driving!!!

I got Rafael as my driving instructor. He was very kind, professional and extremely patient. Thanks to him I got my G2 with ease. Thank you so much, Rafael! you've made the driving lessons a very pleasant experience 🙂
I booked private lessons in Kemptville with this organization and instructor Rafael made my this experience great. he went through all minute details which helped me to pass my G2 road test. in just 4 hrs lessons he made sure that I get all necessary information to pass the test and he taught me with excellent professionalism and timely good communication. I got great experience with instructor Rafael and organization. Thank you.
