SAFEWAY DRIVING SCHOOL REVIEWS

Tina is the best driving instructor that you can find in the states! She teaches with passion, integrity, and care for the community m. She is the funniest person that you can have as a teacher. She’s is the person you can count on if you need help with your driving education. She treats everyone equally no matter what and she always shows passion for her job and makes sure everyone is ok and they have their work done. She is a very open person and very outgoing. She tell funny jokes and cool secrets. She makes sure everyone is smiling and enjoying the lessons. She is the one of the best teachers I’ve ever had in my life. I’m so sad that drivers education had to come an end because I will miss learning with her and I will miss the company she gave everyone. I will miss her smile, lessons, kindness, sarcasm, teaching, and her care for the community and us young learners. I can keep going on and on about her and how far she has came and how far she has took us students in drivers education. I would like to thank her and Safeway driving school for letting me have this opportunity and I hope that Mrs. Tina finds success everywhere she goes!.

Half way through Drivers ed I met Tina and she is the best driving instructor I could ever ask for, she’s cool and knows how to keep the class going with her strong and amazing personality! I love her!! I love her bunny btw. My first driving instructor was Don and I thank him too because he did his job every well and was very nice and kind.

During the education lessons I had both Instructor Don and Instructor Tina. Both were SO AWESOOOME! They both answered any questions that were asked to the best of their abilities, they made the class less boring than it should be, they covered about everything that needed to be taught, and I loved the jokes they attempted to make (which were funny and made me smile). Thank you Instructor Tina and Instructor Don!.

MIDWAY DRIVING SCHOOL REVIEWS

I had an amazing experience with Midway Driving School and my instructor, Patrick! I came to Midway after suffering from driving anxiety for many years and was close to giving up on ever having a license. My instructor Patrick was knowledgeable, patient, and reassuring. He taught me skills for driving safely and helped me build confidence behind the wheel. I recently passed the road test and I know that I would not have gotten here without Midway and Patrick. If they could help me, they can help you!.

Midway driving school is an absolute blessing. I have terrible car anxiety and have been terrified starting driving on busy roads for years now. My instructor, Patrick, made learning to drive and park incredibly easy and stress free. I passed my drivers test thanks to his tip and tricks for the parallel park and the 90° park. Thank you guys so much for getting me out on the road.

Very reliable driving school, after the first phone call I could tell that they are very professional. They were ready to answer all my questions.I was able to pass my road test at Arden Hills on my first try. My instructor Patrick Ryan was very calm and informative he really understood what I was lacking and what we need to work on . He helped me get more confident and gave me a lot of tips that helped me pass the test. I got the 7,5 hour package and it was very much worth it! I highly recommend this school!.

KEN'S DRIVING SCHOOL ST PAUL REVIEWS

I was having difficulty passing my road test, so I decided to take a few lessons with Ken’s Driving School—and I’m so glad I did. My instructor, Dale, was absolutely amazing. He really knows how to teach in a way that’s clear, practical, and focused on success. Every lesson felt like a real road test, which helped me build the confidence and skills I needed. Thanks to Dale’s guidance and expertise, I was finally able to pass my driving test! I highly recommend Ken’s Driving School to anyone who’s struggling or just wants to feel fully prepared. They truly make a difference.

I am so grateful for my experience with Dale at Ken's Driving School. I started as an absolutely terrified first time adult driver (from NYC) who had never done more than a few laps in a parking lot and Dale got me driving on the streets in no time. Dale taught me everything I needed for the Minnesota road test and we did a practice test on our last lesson. I passed with flying colors on my first try! Dale was so patient with me when I was so scared in the beginning. Would recommend to anyone!.

I'm so grateful to find Ken's Driving School. I passed my road test in just one try. Dale is really a great instructor very kind, patient and professional. He helped me a lot as a new driver. (Never driven a car before) He gave me a lot of tips and advice on how to pass my road test. And he helped me to boost my confidence in driving. He's awesome! They are very accommodating as well. I'm very happy that i chose them! I will give 1000stars for this school. Thank you so much, Dale! You're the best.
