Thanks so much to my instructor, Alex! He was a great teacher and gave me a chance to practice so I could pass the test. I would recommend this company to anyone.*Update: Thanks to Alexs amazing lessons, my husband and I were able to take a very smooth road trip from Gainesville to St. Augustine on the same week I got my license. His advice was excellent.

Daniel was very patient, knowledgeable, and all around fun to drive with. I took the 1-hour session and was more than pleased with the results (97% and passed!). He preps you for all aspects of the test and teaches you anything that youre not familiar with. Highly recommend!

Im very glad I took the intermediate course. My instructor Daniel was extremely patient, paying careful attention to my learning process and giving me timely feedback that helped me improve a lot. I was able to overcome that initial nervousness and tailor the course to learn and practice different maneuvers until I felt confident. Alex was equally patient and knowledgeable. I highly recommend taking lessons with them!

Very professional business. My mom took their 8-hour driving course, and Im so glad she did. Daniel was her instructor. Hes friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Most of all, hes VERY patient! He found many different ways to explain the concepts and maneuvers to my mom. He helped her gain confidence on the road. We would definitely recommend this driving school to anyone whos truly interested in starting to drive safely.

Awesome experience . For person like me who never had a driving experience , they made me to learn everything that too salute to the patience of their driving coach Mr. Daniel. He is an awesome guy who ignited in me the confidence that I can drive and he literally made me to learn driving that too within a period of just 10 classes. Hat’s off to the driving school guys. I will definitely recommend GAINSVILLE DRIVING SCHOOL to all my friends who are looking for driving school classes. Thank you so much for making me more confident.

I don’t remember the mans name I believe it’s Daniel that graded my test but I can say that he is such an amazing instructor. He was very detailed and very helpful before we started . Especially when he knew I was nervous he helped me feel more confident once I got it done. I’d definitely recommend him to anybody and I’d even recommend the school even though I didn’t go to them for my class I’d definitely recommend them!

Daniel and Alex were very helpful in teaching me the right techniques to pass the road test. Alex picked me up half an hour before on the day of my test so that we could practice the necessary road skills. Passed the test easily thanks to them.

Great experience! I had lessons with Daniel, he was very patient and explained things well. Alex gave me my last lesson and my test, also great! (And I passed!) Great prices too, best I could find in the area per hour. Convenient since you can take the classes and test with them.

Daniel and Alex were great!!! Daniel helped to prepare me very well and assisted me with what I needed to work on. He went over the basics and also gave me pointers and was really encouraging. I took the test with Alex and that went well also. I felt at ease taking the test. I even walked out with my license thanks to their help :) Definitely recommend!

Daniel and Alex were great. I took the 3 hour class where Daniel told me what to work on and prepared me for the test. Then I took the test with Daniel who went over the basics before driving and tested me. I thank God for both of them being super encouraging, and I walked out with my license with their help. Would recommend!

Alex gives really good tips to help you pass your driving exam. Hes very open to letting you practice what you dont feel comfortable with if you mention it and going to practice at the driving course before the exam was really helpful in helping you prepare for it. Hes also very knowledgeable on penalties on the exam and the overall structure of the exam. You are very prepared for the exam when you get to it. Great conversationalist too!

Daniel was a phenomenal instructor! Coming into this class I was extremely nervous and unconfident, but after even just the first lesson I felt better. He was more than accommodating and made the lesson feel less like a class and more like an experience.

Best road test out there! Much more informative and less stressful than any other lessons. Alex is a really good teacher and makes sure you feel comfortable on the road. I’m a much better driver after just one hour of instruction. Anyone looking to get their liscense should come here.

Very blessed to have the best two instructors there names are Daniel and Alejandro. They take there time with you and teach you everything detail by detail. If you struggle with something they have you practice over and over and also instruct you to continue to practice with others. They are awesome and I thank them so much. They are the reason that I passed my road test. Thank you and God bless.

The people are so nice. From the begin to the end, the school is always beside me. The teacher will tell you everything for safe driving including but not limited for passing the road test. I definitely recommend people to enroll the class, it is worthy and good for your driving in the future. And the best thing is that they offer the car with extral break on passage side which is much safer than your friends cars. Thanks so much for Julio and Alex.

Review №34

Daniel is really awesome. He is very polite and patient. I think he developed a very fantastic teaching philosophy to make people confident in and interested in driving. I used to fail road tests because of my dangerous lane changing in the other state. I was really frustrated and freaked out when I had to do the lane changing on the road. It is really like a magic that after several lessons with Daniel that I overcame those fear and became confident in doing that. Alex is the instructor who gave me the test. He is also a nice and patient guy:) I strongly recommend this driving school.

I did my lesson with Alex and he is very knowledge with driving. He is also very patient to let me practice the skill that I dont feel comfortable. I passed my test after 10 hours lesson with him. I would recommend him if you need driving lesson in Gainesville. The only drawback now is that his schedule is very full and you may need to have your appointment early.

Review №37

I am so happy that I decided to take a course at the Gainesville Driving School! I have always been so nervous about learning how to drive and kept postponing it. But Alex is a superb teacher - very patient to first time drivers, makes sure you feel comfortable, knows a lot about road rules and at the same time very honest about the things we need to pay attention to and improve (which is great because it allows us to keep learning to drive more responsibly). I went from zero driving ability, deeply insecure, to feeling confident to be behind the wheel. I will no doubt recommend this school & instructor to anyone who wants to know how to drive. Excellent choice!

Had little experience driving going into it, they made me feel very comfortable and I gained a lot of knowledge of Defensive Driving!!

Review №41

Already had my learners permit so I did the 2 hr+E Class Drivers License package for $250 and have no regrets!. Basically, Daniel the instructor spent 2 hrs with me for a quick practice run through of the exam material before the actual test with Alex, the proctor. If you want, theyll even drive you to the tax collector afterwards to get your license issued on the spot, then they drive you back home. All in the same day. Super fast and straightforward. 10/10 would recommend this route to anyone whos already had their permit.

Review №50

Before this driving school, the thought of being on the road and behind the wheel was intimidating. However, as soon as I met my instructor Daniel, I felt like I’ve been driving for years. He’s calm and patient along with being a wonderful person to be around. I’m someone who is somewhat shy around people and Daniel was really easy to talk to. He increased my confidence with driving ten folds the first day, and where I didn’t feel a tiny bit nervous driving on the interstate. This school is definitely worth it and I would recommend everyone who’s afraid or apprehensive about driving to try out this school.

Alex the driving instructor through the Gainesville Driving School is amazing!!!!! He is very informative, and very understanding of the students needs. He really takes his time to thoughly explain all procedures and even draws them if necessary to ensure that you completely understand. Rather than just speaking of the procedures, he actually explains them very thoroughly as well and incorprates a hands on learning experience for the student. He ensures that you continuously practice until youve mastered it!!I greatly recommend this school and Alex if you need to pass your driving exam and need a really great school and instructor. I passed my EXAM on the first attempt under the school and with Alex.Thank You So Much Alex!!!! And Keep Up The Great Work!!!
