This adventure was great my Instructor Vanessa was super awesome the test might be scary but it was super easy thanks to Vanessa she is great much love to this place

Tim Andrews

Our daughter had class here and she loved it! She was very prepared. We also own the record store that is attached to the back of the driving school and so we listen to the Instruction and the kids and there is so much information that I have even forgotten and Ashley really does a good job of keeping the kids on track but also letting them enjoy their time there!

Amber Lang

We have had great experience and they have been very helpful with the whole process of behind the wheel training. My daughter was a little nervous for driving with a stranger and she was put at ease and had a great driving time. We are looking forward to using the same place for other children as they reach driving ages. Thank you for all your help and tips for at the dmv!

My daughter just completed her behind the wheel with RAD on Wednesday. She took her test on Friday and passed with flying colors. She really enjoyed working with Dan and got alot out of her instruction. They were very responsive when i had questions and were very helpful! We highly recommended them and our 3 youngest will be signing up with them when it's their turn to drive! Thanks RAD and Dan for everything!

I have been a student at Right Away for nearly two years now and I can honestly say that throughout these years, I have been able to stay engaged and grow/learn an incredible amount! I started my in-classroom classes in fall of 2019 and then got my permit in November that same year. Ashley made classroom time absolutely amazing and introduced/taught the material in a fashion that allows me to still remember the critical information to this day. For instance, I can still remember all of my hill parking information (e.g. uphill, with curb= turn wheel left because it creates the letter L when you use the hand signals Ashley taught in class) which is a fact that you indeed need to know on the actual road test in MN. She created ways of studying and learning that captivated students that I have known not to be successful in normal classroom settings while in school. All of these things combined I feel allowed for me to pass my permit test the first time back in 2019! Char was my behind the wheel instructor all three times this Spring of 2021 and I truly believe it was because of her positive energy and helpful guidance that really allowed me to perform as highly as I did when taking my behind the wheel test. She allowed me to have learning opportunities without feeling like I need to be perfect right away/ all the time while practicing the skills (which is something I appreciated so much since I am a perfectionist and struggle with anxiety in that area). She didn’t create me any unnecessary stress which promoted an overall better learning environment, allowing me to learn better and therefore, succeed more! Also, when I did ask a question or wasn’t getting a concept instantly, she didn’t make me feel dumb or less than about it. Her positive teaching style promoted better driving habits that stuck with me and even encouraged my tester to comment on how observant of a driver I was. I passed my first-time testing and felt super prepared going into it! I truly feel like I am a better and more aware driver after working with Char and am eternally thankful for all the time she spent teaching and working with me!

Ashley and Vanessa are amazing teachers! They were incredible and very authentic and genuine in their style of teaching. I feel very confident in my knowledge of driving due to their overall style and delivery of information. I know for a fact that I'm going to pass my test because of them.

Scott Johnson

I recommend Vanessa! I have had two kids that I have wondered how they would ever get their license. After spending time with Vanessa for her classes, she brings them a sense of calm, knowledge, and creates a fun atmosphere for learning while showing the seriousness of driving. I have two more kids, and I hope they get to experience the joy of learning with her through your compassion, fun attitude, and preparedness for taking this next step in life! Thanks Vanessa!

Nikki Steger

We can not say enough about this company. They had gone above and beyond what they needed to do to help us out. Our daughter learned so much! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

IRBaker79

I am currently going to the hybrid summer drivers ed class and having an excellent time. The teacher Vanessa gives us easy lessons that are easy to grasp while teaching us the importance of the road and safety. Overall, an amazing pick for a drivers ed program, especially when most other programs aren't even open during summer!

Joyellyn Krajewski

I was very pleased with Right Away. Used their services for both of my daughters. Great customer service ~ fast response time, good follow-through, kind and knowledgeable. Had such a great experience with Charlene as a behind-the-wheel instructor w/first daughter that we specifically requested her for 2nd daughter. Great instruction/feedback. Friendly and supportive; and, willing to work with our needs during pandemic.

Carrie Dircks

My youngest daughter just completed her behind the wheel training with Annie Willem and she was AWESOME! My daughter felt comfortable and safe and reported that she feels very confident going into her test! Annie was communicative with me as a parent and is warm, friendly and great to work with. I 100% recommend this company and Annie as an instructor!

Taylor W

Venessa and Ashley were fantastic Drivers-Ed teachers. They made the classes much more entertaining and Interesting. I’ve learned so much in just a few days and classes were only a few hours. They made the driving experience very interesting that now I’m very excited to start driving.

Katie

Probably the best driving school around. Easy to engage and ask questions, with a positive and kind environment. Ashley was my instructor, and she did an amazing job!! This is an environment where you can have fun while learning. Even those rambunctious kids in school who have a hard time paying attention and behaving are able to do that here. My behind the wheel lessons were also super comfortable and nice! My instructor Kyle made the experience (I had him my 1st and 2nd time) awesome and not awkward at all. You could easily talk and ask questions and get helpful replies! I was also able to have a behind the wheel 3 days before my drivers test, which was awesome too. I got helpful tips for my test, and got to practice what I would be tested on- I passed my first time! I recommend all of my friends here, and will continue to do so.

Brandon Monson (Brandowizard)

I loved my drivers ed teacher Ashley! She was hilarious and super fun. For my behind the wheels I had Tina for 2/3 of them and she was similarly incredibly helpful and taught me so much! Great experience with these guys.

Sarah Wald

Best driving school around! They have engaging activities for students that mix fun and education. They have one of the highest passing rates in the state!

Maja Henslin

This was the best drivers Ed class ever. The instructors Ashley and Vanessa were very relatable and were really good and making sure we understood the material!

Heather Cortez

Great service, so many options for classes and they really work with me on behind the wheel schedules. The service to take my child to the test is so amazing because I don't have to be there making them nervous and you give such good instruction before their test. I am extremely satisfied and will send my next 5 children here for sure!!!!

Dylan Grave

Totally loved it was a great experience and they were there even after I was done with drivers ed to answer questions for my drivers test! Would definitely recommend it they were super flexible and were able to coordinate around my hockey schedule, awesome at helping simplify parking, and helped me get a first time pass! Had a great experience If you are debating between a school program and right away definitely choose right away!!

Preston Waage

Ashley and Vanessa are great instructors and they teach us driving in the best way possible. It is always fun to go to class when they are in the classroom with us.

Sara Hutchinson

Ashley is the owner and one of the teachers. She is funny, energetic and always ready to attack the days lesson plan. And she sells you food during the classes breaks. I have heard great things from the other teachers there and everyone I rode with during the 3 behind the wheels were nice, helpful, and patient with us new drivers.

Karl Marx

Vanessa was a very professional teacher that held a peaceful, quiet and respectful class that created a calming environment.Cant wait to take the class again after I fail my test for the third time.

Legolee23

I’ve had a great experience with the class, it was super fun. I had Annie for my behind the wheel, she was super nice and fun to talk to without being annoying. She gave great tips and suggestions for how to improve my driving.

Lillian Pocta

Thank you so much to the RAD team! They do a great job especially Ashley and Vanessa:) they will walk you through a problem until you get it. I would definitely recommend!!! They are awesome 😎 …

Kendal E

I failed my license test 4 times before I went looking for drivers training. I’m 20 years old so I wasn’t sure where would offer adult classes but I was excited to learn that right away did! My driving instructor Sarah was so cool & understanding of my situation! I felt dumb going into drivers training finally at 20 years old & after so many times of failing but I was treated very respectfully! I passed on my first try after my 6 hours of training!! I was so thankful! Let me say it again, SARAH WAS SO AWESOME! I would 100% recommend Right Away to everyone, especially adults who still need to get their license! ❤️

Happy Houle

I did my drivers ed with this program at the north branch high school. Patrick was my instructor and he did a wonderful job. He read the book aloud to us each day, explained what it was saying in a much more understandable language. He gave us examples of his firsthand experience as a driver and a police officer. He made the class as fun as a 30 hour drivers ed class can be.

Madi Vruno

I enjoyed the videos they were interesting and actually give good advice. Just waiting to schedule my behind the wheels. On a good note I passed my permit test thanks to the girls are the right away driving school. Best driving school out there and by far gave me a good experience! I completely recommend it!

Red Skull

The owner was friendly and likable the service was quick and the owner was very helpful 👍 …

Tiahnah Lindquist

I took drivers ed through a local program at North Lakes Academy and was not impressed. I feel like I didn't learn anything, except that I needed to switch programs if I wanted to really learn how to drive safely. The other program failed to give me a drivers manual and my instructor would skip over important slides that needed to be learned. So, I decided to schedule my behind the wheels through Right Away Driving to insure that I will become a safe driver on the road. They have been very helpful through the process and I am very impressed with their nice staff and willingness to help!! I am looking forward to work with them :)

Noel Lovas

We had Char as an instructor and she is professional yet fun. We recommend her to all our friends. She is very personable and friendly. Great Job Char.

Deegan Coates

Vanessa and Ashley are great teachers and I wouldn’t want to have anyone else but them teaching me or my kid.

Abigail McElroy

Karina was my driving instructor, and she was amazing! She was very patient with me which helped me out a lot. She was also very sweet and fun to talk too!

Wally

Annie Willem was by far one of the most patient and encouraging driving instructors. She put my son at ease, while educating and making it enjoyable. Thank you Annie!! You are the best!!

Jim Westlund

Our son Zach took the classes and the BTW's with this company and they were awesome! They did a great job and are responsive and professional! We would recommend them to anyone in the area. Thanks!

Jack Schlichtmann

You are honestly stupid if you don’t go here for drivers ed. The teachers are so nice. They take care of scheduling your tests and you often have a lot of friends to hang out with. Honestly I enjoyed going here . They also prepare you for your permit test very well with flash cards an fun activities. 10/10 would recommend.

Rebecca Kavaloski

I looked forward to Drivers Ed. every single day. It was far more than just sitting in a class for 3 hours, because it was fun and everything was kept interesting! I've heard friends that have gone to other driving schools talk about how boring and uninteresting their own experience was... I'm glad that my parents and I chose Right Away, and glad for the awesome experience that it was! Thank you RAD!

Luke Lasiuta
