Reviews of John's Driving School

My son used John's Driving School and had an excellent experience! The drivers Ed classes were very good. He had to take them online because of Covid, so I heard what was being taught and I was very impressed! He also had an excellent instructor for his behind the wheel lessons- David Jr. prepared my son very well for the drivers test and he was able to pass at the Arden Hills dmv on his first try! Better yet, I think the lessons really helped him take driving very serious. I would highly recommend John's Driving School!

I think johns driving school does a good job at teaching in a short amount of time. David Jr. from johns driving school (one of the instructors) did a great job. He helped me be prepared which led me to pass my road test in the first try!

Title: Fine / Good School, and Communication Could be Better
I have 2 sons who have taken Behind the Wheel (BTW) classes here - both from the same instructor. All of the scheduling & such went through my wife.
I wrote a review on Feb 5, 2023, titled, “Did not give receipts when requested”. On Feb 11, he called me about the review and we talked it through, which is why I am replacing that review with this one. I write more on the receipts later in this review.
According to my older son:
+ The instructor said steering technique would be crucial and that the examiner would fail a student for using the wrong method. However, at the test, the examiner, when asked, said which method he used was not important.
+ My son also said, “The instructor was rather overbearing. For example, he talked a lot about how much experience he had as an instructor, and in the context, I interpreted that as him trying to make me listen to him more. In actuality, I did want to listen to him and learn from him, but I just was not sold on one of the techniques he was teaching and wanted more rationale on why that technique was good.”
+ This son passed the driving exam on the first try.
According to my younger son:
+ He did everything fine
(My younger son is rather unforthcoming)
+ He passed the driving exam on his second try.
According to my wife:
+ He was pretty good to work with regarding scheduling the Behind the Wheel sessions. His responsiveness could have been better, and so could ours.
+ For our last BTW session, we needed to schedule on short notice (within a week or two) and he was able to fit us in so we would not have to reschedule our 2nd son’s driving test.
About the receipts:
While preparing our taxes, we messaged the driving instructor requesting receipts for the BTW classes from last year. His reply was that our cashed check and bank statements are our receipt. Because of the confidence that comes through in his personality (which is probably what my older son picked up as “overbearing”), we read it as, “This is final” and did not ask for anything more. Instead, I wrote the review I mentioned before. I think his response (to use our cashed check and bank statement) lacked professionalism. If a person gives you money and asks for a receipt, you should give them a receipt.
On Feb 11, he called, we talked, and he said that if we had replied asking for more, he would have sent us something - that he preferred doing that over my writing a bad review about it. He has since sent us receipts.
He also said something like, next time someone asks for receipts, he should probably amend his reply of “our cashed check and bank statements are our receipt” with “would you like more than that?” I think that’s a good learning for him, and I’m glad to hear he is taking that away from this experience.
Lastly, they were the cheapest option, which was a big factor in our selection for both sons.

David jr helped me pass my road test on the first try ! David has always had patience with me , he never got frustrated when I couldn’t catch on to something . I’m a very shy person so I was nervous about doing my behind the wheel but he always made me feel comfortable and complimented my driving when I did well . He answered any questions I had or my mom had as well . Very respectful and determine to help me pass and thanks to him I passed on my first try ! Thank you David !
Ps: Also wore a mask and sanatized the car before we started driving which also I appreciated with Covid and other things going around !

I did the online drivers ed course and I was more than happy with the teaching, the teachers are happy to answer questions and help any way possible. If I could give a higher rate than five I would.

Johns Driving School was amazing, from the classes to the behind the wheel. Franny has taught me so well and we had fun in the class. There were many laughs and lots of learning. She was very considerate when kids couldn’t make it to certain lesson days, that I was able to make those up. With my behind the wheel, David Jr. was really good. I didn’t think I’d be comfortable driving with a stranger, but he wasn’t a stranger after the first 10 minutes. He was very welcoming, funny, experienced, and just overall a great teacher and instructor. I want to thank both Franny and David for the exceptional teachings that they gave to get me to the point where I am now, I have my license! And I passed with flying colors, I got 100%! If you want your kid to be somewhere great, go to Johns Driving School, I loved it, and I’m sure your kid will too!

I would highly recommend John's Driving School! All three of our children have found success learning at this facility. The pace and flexibility was perfect for the busy life of a teenager. The instructors were helpful and taught the skills necessary for each of our children to be safe, defensive drivers. Our youngest especially enjoyed behind the wheel experiences with instructor David Jr.. He gave our son specific feedback to improve his driving and helped him feel comfortable on the road. I appreciated the communication that instructor David Jr. provided to us as parents as well. We knew our son's scheduled times and gave us feedback on the experience, so we could help our son practice prior to his driving test. All 3 of our boys passed the driver's test the first time. Thank you John's Driving School!

Both of my daughter's went through John's Driving School and passed their permit exam and behind the wheel exam on the first try. David Jr did a great job with their behind the wheel instruction. He's patient and thorough coach!

David jr. is a very patient and reasonable person and is the best instructor you could have.

The classes were great! And I didn’t get the best experience/ timing for my behind the wheels but that isn’t to blame, you know with the whole pandemic. I really think this is a great place to send people needing to get it done. They will make sure everything that’s needed to be done is done with great effort! Highly recommend it to anyone figuring out where they want to send their kids! And thank you to Franny and David! You guys are awesome!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! This is an excellent Driving School who has instructors who very much care about their students and their families. Focusing on lifelong skills in traffic safety, they collaborate defensive driving tactics along with traffic laws and knowledge and strive for a responsible and respectful attitude in traffic safety for future drivers.

Between David Jr. from John’s Driving School and Franny from the classroom portion, my daughter learned the skills necessary to be a safe defensive driver!

Taught me how to drive and park really well, and learned many skills. Passed on first try after 3 behind the wheels with David Jr.

Franny and David (teachers) were very helpful and had a fun time in the classroom and in behind the wheel was also great i learned so much from it and it helped me pass the road test and permit test both first try 10/10 would recommend
Lauren Brisco
David and Franny are wonderful they are honest about pretty much everything and they are going to tell you when you mess up I had a good time and learned a lot from David and Franny I also passed my permit and license exam first try so I would recommend because they do teach the right things and get you where you need to be in order to pass your permit and road exam.

The instructors are very personable. Some kids might get on your damn nerves, though, so if you're easily annoyed like me, find away to keep your nerves down.
