My name is Roselle G., and I highly recommend Nichols Driving School, especially my driving instructor, Elaine.
As an adult learner with no prior driving experience, I was nervous about learning to drive. From my very first lesson, Elaine was professional, patient, and knowledgeable. She thoroughly explained the rules of the road and taught me all the important steps to take before moving the vehicle.
Throughout my driving journey, Elaine was incredibly helpful. She carefully pointed out my mistakes, explained how to correct them, and encouraged me to learn from every lesson. Her guidance helped me build confidence and trust in my abilities behind the wheel.
Thanks to Elaine's excellent instruction, I passed my road test on my first attempt! Considering that I had no background in driving, vehicles, or road rules, passing on my first try speaks volumes about the quality of instruction at Nichols Driving School.
I am truly grateful to Elaine and Nichols Driving School for helping me become a safe and confident driver. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional and effective driving lessons.

This was a great investment personally speaking, as an adult who got my driver's license when I was 17 years young, but have not had a valid driver's license since 2017 due to medical issues. I say that because I have been driving for more than half my life, no accidents ever, my last ticket was when I was 24, so honestly I can say that I am a pretty good, safe, and responsible driver. However, when I lost my driving privileges due to medical issues, the great state of Massachusetts had me start from the beginning, permit, road test, the whole shebang! I took the road test and failed originally and I decided to contact Nichols Driving School which was definitely the right choice as they will go over exactly what is expected during the road test. This company is very professional and great at what they do! Thankyou Bobbi, Tom, and the rest of the Nichols Driving School Team! Highly Recommended For Adult Drivers who have to take the road test again and First time Driver's who are getting their liscense for the first time. Outstanding Company.

Got all requirements in with this driving school, just had a problem with a few things. Some instructor, Heather, was on the phone the entire lesson every time she was with me and honestly didn't seem to care about what I was doing. Also Dave didn't keep good track of my payments and which nearly made me have to repay half of it over again. Was only saved, because I saved my receipt. But I have to say, Charlie was enjoyable. That man did a good job.

If you are a woman, or a man with morals, stay away from this place. My sister was sexually abused by an instructor called Dave. Early on, he claimed to have been a policeman fighting against sexual assault claims. I assume this was a lie to get girls to trust him. In my sister's last session, he touched her hair and leg in the car, asking her many deeply personal, sexual questions along the lines of "How did it feel to lose your virginity" and "What color are your pubes?" She was also in a car alone with him in the middle of nowhere and feared she would be raped, or worse. When she got home she was completely traumatized. I called Sharon, the head of the school, and she acted shocked, disgusted, surprised and guaranteed me that she would never put a girl in the car with him again. My sister was on a run today and saw Dave in a Nichols Driving School car with a female driver. Sharon- as a highly religious woman you should be ashamed of yourself. We are now taking further action. Avoid this place for your own good.

Shit sucked.I went a couple years ago, waste of timeee.First you sit in a class room for like 3 hours and take notes about a lot of stuff you don't need to know. You could write 8 pages touching base on everything they said and still get a crappy grade. Oh and actually driving, yeah they don't teach you shit. They brought me out to the middle of no where for ally my appointments. The only things they taught me were to do a three point turn and back up in a straight line. Like what the fuck. I even told them I needed to learn parralell parking for the test and they blew me off. I watched them teach everyone but me. They told me to have my parents teach me. HELLO IM NOT PAYING MY PARENTS, MY PARENTS ARE PAYING YOU BECAUSE THEY DIDNT WANT ME TO DRIVE WITH THEM. which was garbage. And to this day I've been on the highway once with my mom's boyfriend because the school failed to take me and i don't have enough experience to go by myself. So yeah thanks you fuckers. waste of moneyyyy
