I showed up 10 min early for class and saw the instructor inside. When I knocked on the door she said you can wait. It was not a very professional or courteous tone to open on. When a student sat in the wrong place she immediately got uncomfortably close to him constantly saying sit where there is a paper in an aggressive manner. Is clearly passionate about the presentation though and cares about the content. Just be sure to listen to instructions, and the interpersonal skills could be improved to create a more welcoming environment. It might have just been a fluke since by half way into the class she appeared to be much more friendly.

Irresponsable school... We had an appointment with my son a Sunday morning for driving lesson, and nobody showed up, Their sign at the door says you have to call to customer service if the instructor doesn’t show up past 15 minutes... but ironically the customer service is closed on Sunday. If I fail to show up they charge 55.00 but they doesn’t care if they fail to show up.

It was a good driving school. I felt that the instructors Ms. Miller and Sheila were very personable, knowledgeable, and caring enough to pass down their experiences with driving. And, my in-car instructors Clinton, AJ, and David shared very important lessons & tips for me to remember while driving. The few negative complaints I have about this location/branch are that the classrooms too small, theres only ONE bathroom in the building, and there were multiple times where Id have to wait outside because the door is typically locked... and it was unbearable due to the unforgiving summer heat. Overall though, it was really good place and Id highly recommend them.

Ms. Avery is a fantastic teacher! She is so clear about everything being taught and is very patient with confused students. She’s able to have fun and connect with every student despite the age. I’ve seen her calm down the loudest students, teach the laziest, and bring out the voice in the quietest. She is very knowledgeable with the material and if a question gets asked that she doesn’t know the answer to, she has a procedure in which she lets the students write it down and she gets back to them after researching. The class is very fun, interactive, and feels as though it goes by quick! She also makes sure all her students feel safe and comfortable so that they can work and learn in a great environment! You should HANDS DOWN take her class!

I’ve just started this driver school class and it’s has been the worse experience(Evan)doesn’t have the patients to teach us what we really need to know everybody in the class be so lost on what’s going on and why he skip so many slides..I pay $360 to learn every details about drivers education and still nothing good had come out of it since he been teaching.On the other hand(Avery)is so amazing and patient when it comes to the class she teach us every detail from top to bottom ask questions and keep going over the lesson until everybody in the class understand.I highly recommend her and wish that we had her this coming week so we can all leave knowledgeable to the lesson she have been teaching us I really can’t wait to do my in car I really would prefer her..Avery hopefully soon they will let you teach more classes your so patient and understanding..Thanks so much for teaching me the 2days you were with the class

As a parent, I had expectations of an instructor who would take the time and teach my child driving techniques that would make him and others safe. Instead, this particular female instructor was a tyrant. Poor people skills and sadly it was more of a chore than a positive experience. I still believe that driving schools are essential to safety for these new drivers and others on the road with them but this is one instructor to avoid. I can’t say if others within the company are better but I suspect they can’t be worse.

Im currently taking Averys classes and they are turning worse everytime. Her teaching style is fine, but her attitude is just the worst. She curses at the student, dismisses the class early, and fails to calm the class down. For the whole class time, only thing that I heard was her and other students screaming. I could not pay any attention. DO NOT take her class if you are registering this driving school. She is surely not the best teacher.

Saw the reviews at the Columbia location, and decided to switch from Ellicott City to Columbia. My child loves the teacher enthusiasm & dedication. Best decision ever!

Ive made it through my first week and I must say, it has been a fun ride thus far. Ms. Avery is an amazing instructor and she makes class a fun learning experience for us all. She answers every question we have and even goes into details to explain it. During our spare time, she gives us restuarant recommendations and being that I love to eat, I get super anxious to try it out. I need to check out this hot and juicy restaurant now. I also want to give a recommendation to Mr.J for stepping in when he is needed and again, showing us a good time while we learn. Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it.Update: Finished my 2nd week with Ms.Avery and I actually miss going to class now, haha. She made it a lot of fun and the people I met were really cool. Im currently doing my in car lessons with Bryan. He is an amazing instructor and Im glad Im doing lessons with him. If you all get Bryan or Ms.Avery for any of your in car lessons, you have nothing to worry about.Update number 2: Went to Westminster for my Mva test today and passed on the first try. I am now an official holder of a provisional license. Thanks again Ms. Avery, Bryan, and Mr. J. I am so thankful for the lessons and teachings that got me through this chapter of my life.

My son is an 11th grader who took the classroom portion of the driving course in Sept. 2017. Very few openings for driving lessons have been available since then. There tend to be ample slots for driving lessons during the school day at 8am, 10am, and 12pm. While I do realize adult learners can use these slots, the majority of the students learning to drive are in high school. There should be a much greater number of times for driving lessons available after school and on weekends. I would suggest trying to determine how many driving slots are available from other providers at times for high schoolers before registering with Greg’s. The next available driving slot for my son is not available until late July 20. It’s currently April 7.
