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

“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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Great experience very good school the instructor was very patient and explained everything clearly“

“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.“

“I started learning how to drive at 15 at Expert Driving School, and WOW — best decision ever!! ??

This school is seriously amazing. They break everything down so clearly and make learning the rules of the road actually fun and easy. The energy in the classroom was great, and I even made some awesome friends along the way!

Huge shoutout to Katie and Bata — you guys are the BEST!! ? Thank you for everything you taught us and for making the experience unforgettable.

If you’re a new driver and want to feel confident behind the wheel, THIS is the place to go. I 100% recommend Expert Driving School to everyone!!“

“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.“

“I got my license because of my amazing instructor Carlos!! He is a very good instructor and he is also funny. He will teach you all you need to know about driving and the rules of the road. Overall, very satisfied. Thank you Imperial!“

“The class was really nice. It’s a good community, and I really learned a lot. Dr Tucker was great!“

“They were very helpful and answered all my questions. They even extended the deadline to complete the six-hour classes after I had already passed the original timeframe.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“
