I just passed my road test today ON MY FIRST TRY at 32 years old! I had terrible driving anxiety, but I passed because of the valuable knowledge and coaching I received from DESoMD. I had my classroom drivers ed. with Mr Coleman, and he poured his heart and energy into making sure everyone leaves the class with everything they need and more when it comes to being a safe and effective driver. Mr. Robertson coached me in my Behind-the-wheel training and I couldnβt believe how quickly I progressed and how much confidence I gained from being taught by him. I had to book a behind the wheel session at short notice due to my husband leaving for months, so I had to take the road test earlier than planned, and Mr. Robertson did not hesitate to make arrangements for me to be able to practice with him a day before my test. He made sure I was ready and he taught me EVERYTHING I needed to learn to pass my test. It was an absolute pleasure to learn from the best, and they all sincerely wish for all their students to succeed. Thank you very much for literally changing my life and giving me the freedom to drive myself. I highly recommend Drivers Ed of Southern Maryland! Read Less

This school is fantastic! Mr. Coleman is extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about educating new drivers. He communicated the curriculum clearly and with a touch of humor that helped calm jittery nerves. Mr. Robertson was my instructor for most of the behind the wheel portion of the class and displayed the same level of knowledge and passion as Mr. Coleman. I highly recommend this school to all new drivers! Read Less

Both of my boys went through this drive school. The instructors are wonderful, the class options include both day and evening classes and the instructors work with your schedule for the BTW (behind the wheel) required driving. They will go as far as to pick teenagers up from the high school for their drive time.
As a mom, I loved that I was encouraged to sit through the class time if I wanted as well as ride along on the BTW lessons. I'm not from MD so I actually learned a lot about state regulations while riding along.
I would recommend this drive school. The instructors care and it shows. Read Less

This driving school is great, the instructor's are friendly and understanding and they'll teach you everything you'll need to know on how to drive smart and safe on the roads. When doing the behind the wheel lessons, they'll teach you how to drive and it's okay to ask questions because they're there to help you. They're experienced drivers and they'll make sure that you'll pass your driver's test. This is the best school that I can reccommend on students who wants reliable help and knowledge about driving on the road, so give this school a try and if you're determined and motivated, you'll ace your driver's skills test!

I was really happy with the education my son received here. There are no bells and whistles to the facility and respect for authority is required. They expect students to be on time, responsible, pay attention, etc. This is appropriate. The instruction was thorough and complete. Their goal is to train solid drivers who know their vehicle, the laws and how to follow them, and safe driving. They have a steady plan for training that resulted in a solid driver.

Don't go here, if you have a choice. I waited 4 weeks for a call back, and never received it. They never answer the phone, either. Their classes are 18 weeks apart and they have no apologies if they mess up. Not to mention that the wait list alone for the behind the wheel training is longer than the Mississippi river. I never received a confirmation email and had to sign up all over again, missing the start date of the only class within the first month. I would never have had this issue if they had sent me an email, answered the phone, or called me back. I am now stuck, as active duty military without a license, until July for a class.

My son went to this driving school and done very well. If there were any complaining I would have been the one to complain. No complaints from me. Mr Coleman was very professional and helped all students . The class I also participated in and I myself learned a few things. I also met the other two instructors who were also professional and answered all questions asked by the students . The instructors are there to teach not babysit or deal with students who do not pay attention . They also deserve a break as they give the students a break. You as the parent when the student is home they should be driving with the parent to get as many hours of driving time in and the student studying the drivers book or online. The instructors space out driving time for month or two later so that the student gets driving time in at home the student gets more experience behind the wheel at home. So I hope this is straight . I want to thank Mr Coleman and his crew for a job well done . I recommend this school with a high five . And as far as Mr Coleman speech impairement I understood hm perfectly and who ever said anything bad about him that was so wrong . You sound like a bully and that is wrong. I highly respect Mr Coleman and his form of teaching maybe you as a parent should set in his class and maybe get to know him and I bet you would change your attitude. God bless you Mr. Coleman and thank you so much my son and I enjoyed your class and we all ncluding the class of students learned alot and had fun learning.
