I was lucky with my instructor Dave. He’s extremely calm and encouraging, very straightforward about his feedback and doesn’t get frustrated. However mind this when buying classes at this school - their schedule is super packed, so the earliest you’ll get a class is after 2 months from the date of booking (unless you are lucky to claim one of the lessons they post daily on twitter - within 20-30 sec they are all claimed). I just think the availability should be available before you pay for the package. Read Less

We absolutely loved our experience with Needham Driving School. My daughter is high-functioning autistic and Sharon was her driving instructor. Sharon was so patient and went above and beyond with extra lessons for my daughter. Sharon made sure my daughter was comfortable and confident along the way, always making safety the top priority. My daughter passed her driving test the first time with flying colors. The staff were so friendly and accommodating with scheduling. You could tell they all had a vested interest in how their students were progressing throughout the process. The email reminders were super helpful and it was easy to manage all the details online if needed. We will be coming back to NDS for our two younger children. We wouldn't go anywhere else after this experience. Thank you Paul and Sharon! Read Less

As an adult I was lucky to enroll with NDS. The staff is very professional and reliable. For someone like me who started learning how to drive at age of 37 and never had any driving experience before, my experience with NDS was outstanding. A big shout out to my instructor Valdir Brandao who made this process very enjoyable with his personal and confident approach. Thanks to Valdir I passed the road test the very first time. I highly recommend him and NDS if you would like to get the best driving education in the Boston area. Definitely worth the money. Read Less

Meghan was my teacher for the classroom section of drivers ed, and honestly made the experience worthwhile and a lot better than I expected. She was funny, low-key, and talk in a way that was interactive and interesting. Solid 10/10 teacher. Read Less

Meagan made drivers ed an experience that I actually enjoyed. She's hilarious and honest, while also teaching us the rules of the road in a way that helps us remember them. She shows us current and relevant videos to keep us engaged in the material. She is more than fair with giving breaks and gives prizes when we play kahoot. I loved Meagan! Read Less

I am an adult student who needed driving lessons. After much research I decided to enrol in the Needham Driving School- my choice turned out to be PERFECT. The school has the perfect combination of being professional yet caring. Thank you, Paul, Ian & Kristi ! Read Less

A great school with exceptionally engaged instructors and an incredible staff as well. I want to especially mention Cynthia (who is an amazing teacher with a lot of patience and a great personality). I just had one lesson with her but she was amazing. I also want to say, a big thank you to Ian. Though I didn't do classes with him, he was present at the road test and put me at ease both times and walked through the whole process calmly and gave me a lot of last minute pointers which most definitely helped me with nailing it the second time around. But my biggest thank you would be for Bill who gave me a lesson a couple of days before the road test. He is such an exceptional instructor who went that little extra mile and totally made me confident about getting it right the second time around. I wanted to thank him for his encouragement, patience and confidence in me that helped me smoothly pass the test. You are one heck of a teacher, Bill!!!! Read Less

Large room for the parents' class, and the instructors seemed to really care about the kids. They have a unique way of having each kid drive to the next one's residence to pick them up, and then, the next one drives the first home. No dropping the student off each time at the driving school. Top notch in every way, even taking care of the scheduling of the road test so no trip necessary to the Registry of Motor Vehicles like what most of the parents themselves had to do. Read Less

Needham driving school is actually really fun! All my friends who have taken drivers ed elsewhere said it sucks and is so boring but I have had a really fun entertaining experience at needham, while still learning a lot! Megan keeps the mood fun and light, but serious when needed. She's great! Read Less

I came to Needham Driving School in hopes of becoming a safe, well-educated driver. I had Meagan as a teacher and I feel very prepared to take my permit test. She has a very good way of interacting with students, and does not make the class boring. She reminds us the rules of the road and gives real life examples which help prepare us more for our experience on the road. Read Less

I had a great time here at needham driving school, the instructor Meagan Ryan is great and fun. She doesn't make it a boring 6 hour class but she incourages you. Highly recommended for any one who is looking to taking drivers ed classes Read Less

Had a great time here at Needham Driving School. Meagan Ryan was an awesome teacher and the PowerPoints were very informative and much more effective than just a lecture with note taking. Highly recommend it to anyone who needs to take Drivers Ed (try to take the weekend or weeknight classes with Meagan!) Read Less

Not only is Needham driving school a great place to send your student to learn safe driving habits, it's also a great place to work if you are a responsible instructor looking for a great job. I worked with Paul and Katie for years and they are truely committed to education. Driving schools are a unique business because they require the owner to be a dubious teacher, education and activist as well as a businessman. Paul commits himself to drivers education--not to getting rich quick or screwing over parents and instructors. His lessons are an hour of teaching and his classroom time involves comprehensive learning. Yes, on road instruction is not always seem less but learning safe driving habits is a process. Read Less

Just had a wonderful experience with the school. The family that I nanny for have a teenaged daughter who recently completed the program. Our schedule is busy with 3 other younger kids (activities, sports etc) and my bosses were able to comfortably fit her lessons in to our daily routine with the help of the receptionists. Each time I interacted with any of the employees they were pleasant. Jillian truly enjoyed going to driving class each time (whereas I remember dreading it in high school). I highly recommend Needham Driving School, as they were professional and thorough, and made the experience enjoyable for all of us involved, especially their student! Read Less

Paul and his crew have a really great approach to teaching. The key being their demeanor. Many of us recall drivers ed with ex drill Sgt.s who failed to realize we were only kids who needed to learn how to drive in a safe, controlled environment. Thanks to Needham Driving School, the safe, controlled environment exists with friendly, knowledgable, and charismatic teachers. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who wants their child in good hands, and enrolled in a school that will provide them with a positive drivers ed experience! Read Less

Growing up in the city, I never had a reason to get a driver's license (I relied on public transportation instead). Having recently moved to the 'burbs, I decided it was time to procure a means of transportation other than the Boston area commuter rail and bus lines. After an exhaustive search for driving schools, and many calls to nasty receptionists at all of the aforementioned schools (which shall remain nameless), I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful individuals at Needham Driving School. What a difference! Kind, patient and accommodating folks who are eager to help and don't growl at you on the phone. Truly refreshing, and quite frankly, totally smart move on their part. My instructor, Mr. Cam, is patient, considerate and always encouraging. I couldn't ask for anything more.If you've been looking everywhere for the kind of driving school where you can learn in a safe and considerate environment, definitely check out Needham Driving School.
