Im rating from 6 yrs ago but do not send ur kids to this school. Mr G made me cry after every drive and gave me so much anxiety. If i did something wrong he would not tell me how to fix it. He would just stare at me and then start yelling. The whole place smells like cigarettes. Read Less

This driving school should not be allowed to enroll minors into their program. My son went there and shared how Mr. G talks to the students. I called the owner to complain only for him to say my son “is not Mr. G’s equal!” As a school social worker with a public education license, this was beyond appalling. ALL human beings are equal and I made sure I told him that. A true professional knows children should not be treated with such disrespect. Real educators model appropriate behaviors and DO NOT belittle their students. Prior to my conversation with the owner, my son had complained about the teacher on numerous occasions. Parents, just wait until your kids could take Drivers Ed at school which will be taught by an actual licensed educator. I don’t understand how this place is still in business with the numerous complaints. Read Less

This is the worst driving school. The title “Lockport #1 Driving School” does not accurately represent this school. Where do I begin, I started the classroom portion of the class during the pandemic, so the lessons were over zoom. The lessons were pretty alright, but when a student would get an answer wrong on a question, the teacher “Mr. G” would get upset at them and talk down on them. Mr. G was never proud of any of his students and never gave praise for a student getting an answer correct. The behind the wheel portion of the class was the worst part. When I say the worst, I truly mean the worst. Mr. G was rude and unprofessional. When I drove with him, he constantly got angry when I was driving perfectly fine. Every time a student wouldn’t drive the exact way he wanted them to, he wouldn’t give reassurance he would simply say things like “if you drive like this on your driver’s test you will immediately fail”. When I was doing my observation and Mr. G told a student driving that she shouldn’t even think about getting her license yet. The anxiety that Mr. G would give students was obvious and I could see how the students didn’t feel comfortable. I feel like as a new driver this would really hurt someone’s self-esteem. Mr. G would constantly talk about people dying in car accidents and if he wasn’t talking about that he would sit in silence. If a student made a mistake, he would make demeaning comments to them. I don’t know how he thought that students would stop making those same mistakes if he would just criticize and be rude to them instead of explaining and telling them to do better next time. Out of all my hours of driving with Mr. G he never said one positive thing during my driving. Even before the driving he was rude, when I got into the car I said, “wow it’s so cold outside” and Mr. G said, “that’s not my problem”. He would have no patience with his students, and I don’t think he should be able to teach if he does not change his attitude towards students. Mr. G has unrealistic driving expectations. I understand driving safe and properly, but the way Mr. G wanted his students to drive wasn't comfortable, safe nor efficient. Reading other reviews, I see people have had the same problem. Read Less
