I highly recommend this place. Mr. Kelvin is incredibly patient and helped me build my confidence on the road. He guided me kindly and at my own pace. By the way, I passed my exam!

I did not enjoy testing at this school at all. The only thing that was good was the ability to schedule quickly though he did show up 44 minutes late. Though he told me prior to that if I was late then I would have to reschedule and pay 50 additional dollars. He doesn't understand boundaries and will open express religious views while insulting you. He is critical on grading so, I'm critical on my review after PAYING 100 dollars just for the test. He doesn't get that I did not care about his opinion, so he was confused when I start tuning him out as he kept stating them. Like the most outlandish one was I need slow down, go to church, be humble that's why I'm not married (which had nothing to do with my driver's test). It just sound like he believes in women settling for far less and has an outdated perspective like his car. He almost made miss my DPS appointment, I'm in my 30s I don't seek be talk to like a child and unfortunately if you do not renew within 2 years of your license expiration you have to retake the test to renew. I don't even remember the black man's name because he kept calling me Alex to indicate that he was never going to call me by my name. His goal was to annoy me before driving.

Hello,
Recently, I took my road test with the driving school and passed!! Mr. Kelvin, Mr. Ken, and Mr. Weldon are really awesome people when it comes to getting their students prepared for the roads ahead in life. Driving is a major milestone anybody can accomplish, but it can also present a big challenge who might not be used to the idea of driving. Surely, these three went out of their way to not just only provide the basics but teaching us how to survive.
Mr. Kelvin is an awesome instructor who exudes patience, confidence, and independence. Even on exam day, he was clear on the instructions given, and he did not provide any stumbling block whatsoever. He was straightforward in providing feedback to help me become the driver I am today (compared to when I could not find the gas and brake pedal the first time I drove).
Mr. Weldon is another awesome driving instructor. He was very encouraging, and we went over things like parallel parking, 2-point turns, and driving all across Galveston and Southeast Houston. He helped me to be confident on the roads, and not fight the steering wheel, so much so, he even took me on the highway a few times.
Mr. Ken was excellent in providing in-class instruction when it comes to knowing the rules of the road, traffic laws, and even took time to talk about his life stories to teach us life lessons that not only we will get to take with us to driving, but in life.
I am extremely grateful I had a driving school across the street (literally) who was willing to go above and beyond for all of their students as long as they see the student is looking to put in the work, and not just show up and be gone for a few months without communication. Thank you, Mr. Kelvin, Mr. Weldon, and Mr. Ken, for making Driver's Education fun, and please do not stop accomplishing your mission. God bless you!

I had a great experience at Island Driving School - Galveston Branch! Ms.Jamie Yeager, the school representative was very kind & helpful with navigating the whole A-Z process of obtaining a Driving Permit in Texas. I took 6 classes along with the Texas DPS approved 3rd party road test with Mr.Charlie Molis my driving instructor. He was extremely polite & gave clear instructions with patience on how to drive and we shared a nice camaraderie! With every class I gained confidence on road & incorporated the tips & techniques he gave me. I successfully passed the road test and got my license! I would recommend this driving school to anyone living in Galveston or nearby.
