If I could give negative stars I would. This place is a complete joke. They come off super nice at first and then the communication breakdown begins. They don't answer emails or phone calls, I had to drive over there and confront them. I once called and when I FINALLY got John on the phone he told me to call him right back. I told him I didn't want to b/c it had taken me so long to get a hold of him and he promised he would answer. When I called the same phone number back in 5 minutes- THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A PIZZA SHOP. I'm not kidding. Spend your hard earned teen's money somewhere even remotely more professional. Read Less

I would like to make this review as objective as possible, highlighting the good and the bad. The good: the instructors are amazing. I had 95% of my classes with Alex and he was almost solely responsible for a 37 year old who had a fear of driving finally getting her driver's license. Overall, all instructors have excellent teaching skills and are very thorough in their explanations. You're guaranteed to learn to drive with them, no matter the level you're at or how afraid you are of doing it. The bad: My experience buying the initial driving package and scheduling driver's ed and subsequent driving lessons was pretty smooth. However, after I was done with lessons it took me a couple of months to feel confident enough to book the road test. When I did, I was given a date for the mock test and one for the road test over the phone. As the days went by I would get no confirmation of the road test, so I kept calling to confirm the date. Not only was it extremely difficult to get someone on the phone, but the other problem is that on 4 different ocassions I was ASSURED that my road test date was set for the time we discussed. The day before the date I was still not getting any info about the test so I called and ONCE AGAIN I was confirmed for the next day, but literally a few minutes later I got a text saying "Actually, you're not scheduled for tomorrow, you're scheduled in a week". I understand that these things might be subject to change, but the lack of professional communication baffles me, even as I'm writing this. I received that message without any apology for the inconvenience and without anyone asking if the new date was okay for me. I was infuriated by this because it feels disrespectful to people's time to just move the dates suddently without considering how people manage their time, or what arrangements they have to make to be available on a date. Not all of us are teenagers with all the time available in our hands. I also had an incident where I had been given a date for a class and I showed up but the class hadn't actually been booked for it. In essence, the admin is really poor and it really is a shame because the teaching is excellent. I really hope this gets improved in some way in the future, although judging by all the reviews I'm not really sure. TLDR: Excellent instructors, good price, defficient admin and communication with the customers. Read Less

Communication with this school super hard to get by, I try to call every morning to reschedule my road test sponsorship but I never got an answer, especially after paying the $160 fee, and ended up not being able to take it because events came up. The first time, I paid for my lessons and did them with Jay and Z, they were very nice, professional and helped me wondrously with my driving. So they got very professional instructors, but they need someone to run the office more responsibly. Read Less

Huge waste of time and money. Incredibly unprofessional, you practically have to hunt them down for a response. Had to go in person multiple times just to set up basic appointments and sort out everything else they messed up. John is a joke, has no idea what he’s doing, and runs a horrible business. Just absolutely terrible, find a different school. Read Less

John, you’re a rock star! He is knowledgeable, patient, understanding, insightful and most importantly, a lot of fun! Trust me, when you’re trying to learn a skill as layered as driving, you want your instructor to have all of those - you want John. I’m thankful for the experience I had learning driving with him. To give you a hint of his expertise, he taught me a simple technique of eye level which helped my driving get better in a matter of minutes which I was struggling with for weeks. In addition to this, is his exemplary clarity and commitment. Lastly, his team (and everyone I interacted at the school) is helpful and nice. I highly recommend this driving school (and of course John). Read Less

I actually really like this driving school. I’ve heard a lot of negatives, but I see nothing wrong with this place. It’s a comfortable warm environment of learning and a no-judgement zone. I’ve known how to drive for a while now, but coming here for lessons really helps to shine light on what they will be looking for on the test, and they gave me the tools to make me a better driver. I recommend this school to anyone who’s willing to learn. Read Less

John was an incredibly patient, welcoming and kind instructor, who immediately put me at ease. He has a rare combination of both the technical and teaching skills to effectively train others, as well as the personality and empathy to make that training fun and relaxing. His parallel parking technique is also incredibly helpful!Knowing that I had his "seal of appproval" made me much more confident to take my test, which was significantly easier to arrange through him than on my own.

In my honest opinion the driving school was unprofessional. I had quite a few classes with this school because I had chosen the largest package. Their way of handling payments are terrible! You have to make sure that you keep track of your own payment if you don't pay in full. A few instructors are good but a lot are horrible!! One instructor parked me in front of his house for 20 min in the middle of my lesson. Another instructor made me drive on the highway for 1 hour and 30 min while HE SLEPT the whole time (I had little experience driving then). Plus when he first picked me up he kept "reminding" me that he doesn't like coming to Dorchester and the school scheduled him too far. When you call the office the girl who picks up the phone is rude. I had to pay for an extra road test that the school told me was resheduled but wasn't. I regret getting involved with this driving school. I gladly left and went to another driving school that was much better. Read Less

I received 6 hours of private driving instruction from Boston Driver's Ed from my husband as my wedding gift on our wedding day!Background about me: I'm in my late twenties, got my license when I was a teenager, but I went to college in NYC shortly after getting my license, and never really had the need to drive around. I also have always had some anxiety with driving, and to be honest didn't deserve to get my license when I did (I didn't practice enough, took my driving exam when I was 17 on Christmas Eve in New Jersy and the examiner just gave it to me even though he said I wasn't ready, as a Christmas gift... big mistake) so I've generally avoided driving ever since. One of my last driving experiences was getting rear ended, so in short - I needed some emotional support when facing the wheel again, and I was interested in regaining the confidence and assertiveness that comes from driving. I am also studying to be a physician so I really needed to get comfortable with driving!Luckily - Boston Driver's Ed was the perfect choice for me as an adult learner with anxiety to feel comfortable behind the wheel again.I took my 6 hours of private instruction with John. John is kind, patient, calm, grounded experienced, very knowledgeable, and most importantly - a great teacher. In my opinion a great teacher is someone who meets the student where they are, and supports them along the way. He tailored his teaching style to my individuality and my specific needs. With John, I wasn't just student X being taught the same way every student is taught, but I felt that he made the effort to communicate with me in a way that I understood and was extremely observant and supportive in his interactions with me. He also assured me I wasn't alone in my journey (apparently "went to college in NYC" is a common condition amongst anxious drivers!).Not only is John a great teacher, but he's also a great person. He is a family man who started this business on his own. I always love to support small companies and kind people. He's softhearted, sensitive, and remembered me from lesson to lesson and was always extremely kind yet always very professional.I think a lot of people take the skill of driving for granted. From my lessons, John jumpstarted a greater sense of confidence and independence in my life. I now have an association of a feeling of calmness when I think of driving and at the end of my last lesson, John told me he thinks that I'm ready to drive on my own, but it was up to me to decide when I truly felt comfortable. I thank John and Boston Driving School for this and wish them the best in their future business endeavors. Read Less

I took my road test with John and he's an awesome instructor. I took a 1.5 hours lesson right before my road test and it was enough for me to pass it. (Mind you, I had driven before so 1.5 hours lesson was basically to get me used to the roads and learn Parallel parking, 3 point turn and hand signals. So please if you haven't driven before take more than 2 hours lesson). Overall my experience with them was good and will definitely recommend them. Read Less
