Super straight to the point and kind! Linda really cares about your learning and wants the best for you! I passed on my first try because she showed me the area and made sure I knew the latest updates to the course. She really pushes good habits into your driving, i’m now a lot less anxious! Read Less

My 26 year old son had the honor of lessons with Linda. After each session, he was so excited to share what he had learned. I could tell that Linda was patient with him and took her time explaining things on a level that he could understand. Thanks to Linda/ Buckle Up, he passed the road on the 1st try. Micheal and I thank you so much. - Bea Read Less

They did not provide my sister highway/freeway lessons as it is advertised on their website. They told her during her lessons that the highway is not allowed and they cannot do it, even though highway/freeway lesson was a bullet point of the assignments on their website site and in the physical paper assignment she received for her lessons. Super shameful that a driving school service would not teach her how to drive on the freeway even though she paid for 3 lessons that were $300 dollar total. There was no mention of time restrictions either as they were 6 hour lessons, they just blatantly told her “they are not allowed to do the highway.” Why is it on the website as a checklist of driving assignments to be done then? My sister should have been told they would not be doing highway lessons at all during the 3 lessons prior to payments being requested and given as the 3rd lesson she did she had time to learn the highway/freeway. Even if it was just a minute or two of basic highway training then it would have been understandable, but being lied to about highway training not being allowed is not right. The photo shows her check list for all 3 lessons together that she attended, no other check list was ever provided for the 2nd or 3rd lesson, those were continued on this paper. Read Less

Linda is a very patient instructor. She worked hard with me and was very patient during my lessons. She would adjust lessons according to my schedule and would give instructions in a very precise manner. On the test day I was nervous so helped me calm down and pass the test.

I wouldn't trust this place. I'm a bus taker, and while waiting at a bus stop, a little silver/grey car with door advertisement. Nervous teen driver, passenger, laid back, not paying attention, TALKING ON HER CELL PHONE! Isn't she there for the kid behind the wheel. GO SOMEWHERE WHERE THEY ACTUALLY CARE, PAY ATTENTION AND GIVE GUIDANCE. I see that downtown St. Paul. Signed, Worried pedestrian Read Less

Right from the moment I called Linda till the moment our daughter took the test, my experience has been nothing but amazing. Having worked with Safeway for our daughter, it was such a contrast to work with Linda. She is patient, attentive, sweet, and an amazing teacher. She has got everything in her to teach a teenager and also works with your crazy schedule. do not look back, just go ahead and book her time and get her on your calendar. You will not be disappointed and you will be thankful you signed up with BuckleUp! Read Less
