Driving Schools near Wilmette

“Rebecca was a great instructor. She was very patient and accommodating to get my son's lessons scheduled.“

“We had some extraordinary circumstances around obtaining a drivers license. With every step of the way Safe Start and all the employees helped us and were very knowledgeable. They helped us troubleshoot and honored their committments. When our child received his drivers license, the road test examiner expressed how impressed she was with our child's driving and wanted to know who taught him. Safe Start driving instructors are the best. ...thank you.“

“They are very professional and timely with all forms. They definitely take their job as providing quality instruction that creates safe drivers very seriously! My son was able to get his license soon after turning 16 and is driving everywhere!! He is a great confident driver and he found the instructors are very nice! They come right to your house to pick up for the driving portion, which is very convenient and were always on time! They were very accommodating in working on areas we requested additional attention.“

“Pierre was very nice and very clear when it came to learning, he was understanding and patient aswell.“

“Becky is an amazing instructor,she has patients and is very knowledgeable. I'm 32 years old I would of never have thought that I would get a driver license, but I did all thanks to Becky and the Cruising Academy. I highly recommend going here, she made me feel safe,confident and comfortable while driving.“

“He paid real close attention to my mistakes and had really good tricks on how I could correct them.Highly recommend ?“

“I had stopped in on two other driving schools before choosing ADDS. One felt like a wrong fit, mostly due to availability and the other (also in Evanston) had a front desk person who was condescending and gave what I knew was incorrect information.
As an elderly woman, new to Illinois and not having driven for over a year, this challenge was almost overwhelming.
From the minute I entered the office of ADDS, I felt comfortable. First contact was the very busy Kemyta, who was juggling phone, paperwork, walk-ins and still smiling. When she was free, she asked me a few questions, then showed me how to maneuver their website, which had practice tests and much other information. There was also a voice behind a partition - an instructor giving a lesson to a group of high school students. Kemyta and I discussed my tailored requirements including pickup and dropoff as well as instruction for written test, driving test and all the crazy paperwork associated with an out of state elderly person licensing situation. Kemyta assured me that the owner, Doug Whitmore, a retired state policeman, would lead me through the process.
When I met Doug, I asked him to be very straightforward with criticisms because I wanted to get this right. In turn, he gave encouragement, precise feedback, directions and kindly- phrased criticisms. After each session, I received a detailed summary from Doug’s wife Andrea, while Doug was off giving CDL lessons for truck drivers. Text messages and emails were answered in reasonable time. This group had so many dimensions but operates very compatibly.
I was apprehensive about taking the test and asked if I should have one more lesson, but Doug said he thought I could pass and gave specific issues on which to focus. He easily could have had another payment from me, but he took the high road (no pun intended).
I passed all the testing and got a license. Yay! This company is like family. They care about your success, know what they are doing, kind, moral and truly a pleasure to work with.“

“Adam at Syrenka Income Tax Services is highly patient, professional, and detail-oriented when it's comes to tax services. He has been our family tax specialist for many years, and we love him!“

“This is the best school hands down. I've had a short stay at two other schools. I can tell you I'm so glad I picked Progressive. Mr. Cooper was absolutely the best player on their team. Mr. Cooper stopped whatever he was doing to help anyone who asked. He offered the best advice when it came to helping achieve my maneuvers. I ran into some obstacles and he promised me : he will see me to the finish line : I graduated today : One & Done !!!!!! 12-18-23. Thank you, Mr. Cooper you are the best. Clyde was the best teacher for the job. Thank you, for your help and I love your jokes it helped my time in class well worth the stay. Bob and Nancy nothing but love for yall always available for anything I needed it. Jeff, Thank you for your advice on my maneuver and always stopping me to tell me how I can do better. Mr. Malcolm Scott, Thank you for teaching me road and skills. i appreciate your tuff love and support and kept us on our toes. I know lots of school are crowed and things can be overwhelming : Hands down to Progressive in Lansing, IL. I recommend this school to all future truckers. THANK YOU : Progressive for seeing me to a better career!!!!! Sincerely your, M. McGowan“

“I had Mr. Lucas as my teacher and he is a person who makes a boring class fun and interesting. Because of this I booked all 8 of my driving lessons with him and I genuinely looked forward to our conversations and just driving with him for a hour. He is a great guy and knows what he is doing.“

“Asia Driving School is incredible. Akif Sir is extremely patient and teaches in a very clear and structured way. He starts with the basics and helps students build their skills gradually, which makes learning much less overwhelming. His teaching style is simple, easy to follow, and very effective. Most importantly, he builds confidence in his students while making them comfortable behind the wheel.

I chose this school after not having a great experience elsewhere, and I’m really glad I did. Akif Sir is an exceptional instructor. Highly recommend Asia Driving School to anyone looking for a supportive and confident learning experience.“

“Excellent driving school with very supportive instructors. They take the time to make sure you understand each step and feel confident behind the wheel. The lessons were well-structured, and I improved quickly. Very professional service and easy scheduling. Definitely recommend to anyone serious about learning to drive safely.“

“The driving instructor I had was absolutely phenomenal! However, our classroom instructor was effective but odd. Most of us girls didn’t feel safe alone with him, and he was very aggressive with classroom policy (and yelled a lot). Regardless, I feel quite confident that I’ll pass my test with flying colors!“

“I just got my CDL from this school, where Pedro and Lupe helped me a lot. They were always willing to answer any kind of question without getting bothered, and that says a lot about both of them. Because of that, I would definitely recommend this school without any doubt.“

“Yesterday I got my class C license due to Carlos. He’s an amazing teacher. 10/10 will be recommending to my friends“

“Miranda was very helpful and guided me on best practices, helped me go through the actual route and did a recap before the test. 100% recommend“

“I had an excellent experience getting my CDL at this training center. Kasha was incredibly helpful and guiding from start to finish—always patient, organized, and ready to answer any questions I had.

Instructors Stoyan and Elias were outstanding. Their years of real-world experience really showed through, and their 1-on-1 lessons made all the difference. They broke everything down clearly, gave personalized feedback, and made sure I felt confident behind the wheel.

Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get their CDL. Professional, supportive, and effective training.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“My experience with this company is A1 in every aspect, my instructor was Andy and he definitely knows how to insure that you are fully prepared for your road test, he was patient with me and definitely loves what he does, which is making sure that you successfully complete your test and training for your the road. I felt like family and Christie (I hope spelled it correctly) she is amazing too, You won’t find a better company and experience, with Galaxy it’s not about quantity but quality but making sure that you know that your training is done properly and professionally.“

“I would like to thank Satinder ji for teaching me like a baby and putting all the rules of road in my head. She had lots of patience in giving me a good practice before test. Thank you so much. God bless.“
