As a late driver getting my license in my 20s, I was super anxious about taking lessons, and driving altogether. My instructor Jeannie was warm, funny, and tough when she needed to be, helping me get my confidence up behind the wheel. I passed my test on the first try in New York State. Every staff member I interacted with was a gem, and I'm so glad I took lessons at PVDS. Thank you!!
Jeannie ( I’m sorry if I’m spelling your name wrong), was so supportive throughout and really gave me the confidence to drive.
She even made a note of all the things you need to recall for the test and that really helped.
Would definitely recommend going here if you’re a student at UMass trying to get your driving license.
I passed my test on the first try and it's hands down all thanks to Jeannie! She's a fantastic teacher and I wouldn't have passed my test if it wasn't for her and PVDS!
