KATHY'S DRIVING SCHOOL REVIEWS

I knew how to drive, but I’d only ever driven in countries where the cars drive on the left. Right-hand traffic was completely new to me. Kathy was so patient and understanding, and she made sure I felt comfortable and confident. Her advice was spot-on, and I was able to pass the test with just her 2 hour lesson. Having her there on my test day really helped me feel more confident and at ease. I can’t thank Kathy enough for everything!.

I contacted Kathy’s driving school for my son to practice the road test. He only did two hours with them, the week prior and today my son used their vehicle to take the road test and passed with flying colors! They were so good with my son he’s only 17. I’m super happy! Thank you so much Kathy’s driving school!.

I had a great experience taking lessons at Kathy's Driving School. Kathy has been helpful, patient and supportive from the very beginning and till I passes my road test. I'm glad I choose Kathy's Driving School, Kathy is a wonderful instructor.

MEJIA DRIVING SCHOOL REVIEWS

I had never driven a car before, but after five lessons at Mejia Driving School, I had passed on the road test on my first try. Ana Maria was my instructor and she was really nice. She explained everything clearly, and she was incredibly patient and helped me get more comfortable about driving each time. She was kind and supportive throughout the whole process. I would recommend this driving school to anyone learning to drive!.

My experience with this driving school was wonderful. I truly believe I wouldn’t have ever gotten my driving license without taking these classes. My instructor was Ana María and she was amazing. She had so much patience with me and took her time to make sure I understood everything. I took about 4 classes and it was definitely worth it. If you are looking to learn how to drive or even need with your test please take these classes. Thank you driving Mejia’s Driving school and Ana.

Passed my test on 1st attempt. Ana was excellent made me feel more confident. She shared all the tips and tricks. Attended only 3 hours. Just a heads up, If you are booking a car for actual road test, that car may be different from the car on you have practiced. So you will need little adjustment based on car size on actual day.

LARUE'S BLACKSTONE VALLEY DRIVING REVIEWS

Rose was excellent with my son!! She was very flexible with the schedule we needed to have him ready for his driving test. She was very knowledgeable, organized, patient and caring. Her teaching methods were direct and to the point, which is exactly what he needed as a student driver. He passed his test the first time, wit a perfect score. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a great instructor.

Excellent driving school! Would HIGHLY recommend Larue’s Blackstone Valley Driving School to anyone who is looking for a safe, reliable, and dependable driving school for their child. Rose is also very pleasant, patient, punctual, and provides honest feedback. Both of my boys did their lessons with Rose. You’re in good hands!!.

Highly recommend Rose with LaRues! My son has already had 3 lessons with her and will complete his final lesson the day before his road test. She is friendly, prompt, knowledgeable, and thorough. My son didn’t want to take driving lessons, but he ended up admitting that her lessons were helpful! He’s had a great experience so far! Thank you Rose, we are looking forward to the final refresher before his test.
