Save your hard earned money and do not give it to this "school" .They have only one person teaching the class. The "instructor " is grouchy and disrespectful. He did not repeat his instructions. Instead, he constantly complains and murmurs . There was NEVER positive reinforcement. He did not have a teaching plan, breaking the skills into small tasks. There was zero empathy, respect or positivity, even though the company says that they know how to educate nervous and adult drivers.

When I asked for my money back from the classes that I did not received as no one in their right mind would take another lesson after the first one. They REFUSED to give me my money back.

The cynicism they have is to have you pay ahead of time and then say that you will not be refunded after 72 hours.

How are you going to know if the lessons are useful or not after 72 hours of paying if you have not taken any of those lessons?

So , he is getting paid to disrespect students for 2 hours and then not seeing them again as NO ONE in their right mind would go back to that "school ".

I've attended multiple driving schools, but Howard's Driving School surpasses them all. There's simply no comparison; the instructor is exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about explaining the reasons behind driving techniques.

Ms. Howard is a great teacher! Usually driver ed classes are boring, but he makes drivers ed fun. He is a very interesting and funny man.

Great place and convenient location! Teacher made the class easy to down with stories and jokes. Main concern was actually explaining the material, and staying on task with the topic at hand. Otherwise, it was definitely an experience to remember and taught me much!

Highly recommend this driving course for several reasons. This isn't just any driving course where a teacher sits there and forces you to learn. The instructor really connects with the student and tries to get the message across and is always helpful. Not only is the teacher helpful, but is constantly nice and likes to tell jokes. I learned things I don't think I'd learn in a Normal, oriented driving class with 15 other kids.

Some people are in here bashing about the kids being there while they're being taught? they're kids! They are one of the most respectful kids I've ever seen. Howard driving school offers a unique way of teaching, but he gets the job done. Highly. Recommend.

I have been trying to get my driving certificate to the DMV so I can get my liscense but this driving school hasn't put my info in online. I have called twice now and they've said they did, but whenever I go to the DMV they say I never even completed driver's education. This place is horrible. Don't go here.

Worst service ever, surely won't be recommending this place. I did a 6 hr class there in order to get my driver's license and they couldn't even provide me with my completed certificate because they had no ink, ,r eally? Not to mention the place is so unprofessional, the staff had their own children there as well.

The place is really unprofessional. All they do is show you videos and make your read things out of a power point but no explanation is given. The staff have their own kids playing around in pj's. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Dear owner of Howard Driving School, I do not know you and I have never been to your establishment, but I just want to write to make you aware that every response you're sending to people is getting posted publicly for the entire world to see. And as Kiara Banks said, badmouthing former students really doesn't make me want to come to your business.

I would be laughing right now about how unappealing it makes your business look, but it's probably not very funny for you. I'm sure you run a very fine business, but for your sake you may want to get your Public Relations problem under control. Respectfully sending my business elsewhere, David
