I took my driving course at Joyce's Driving School during the end of my Freshman year and it was great! I learned a lot about different driving skills throughout the time in Joyce's class. The classes were really interesting and included a bunch of great advice for driving safely. On certain days, Joyce would have guess speakers come in and talk to the students. When I did my Behind-The-Wheels, I was scared at first but over time I adjusted to driving on busy streets. I was g...uided through what to do on the road and in the car. At the end of my BTW's, I felt very comfortable in the car when I drove. The information that was given to us helped me become successful later on when I got my permit and license. I remember when I went to get my licenses, the driving instructor told me, "Of all the people I have driven with, by far you were one of the best". If it wasn't for taking this course over at Joyce's, I would have not been successful in retrieving my drivers license and learning how to drive safe on the roads. Overall, I had a great time at Joyce's Driving School. It was very informational and interesting. Ver más Read Less

Our experience at Joyce's Driving School was outstanding! I found them to be incredibly helpful and responsive when I had questions. The behind the wheel instructors were patient and supportive. I was fretting about my daughter taking her first behind the wheel. I wasn't sure she was ready. Joyce took the time to "talk me through it" and advised it was the right time for her to get behind the wheel. She was so right! My daughter came back from that first behind the wheel excited and more confident! I am so glad that we chose Joyce's Driving school for driver's education. It was a great experience for my daughter!

Having our oldest child become a driver is a scary thing. Having Joyce's driving school teacher her how to drive made it all good. I'm very confident in my daughter's ability as a new driver now. Flexibility in scheduling was great. She really enjoyed her behind the wheel teacher who treated them to ice cream on the last day will be a memory she will always have. My 2 younger kids will definitely go here. Read Less

I will give this Joyce's 1 star for the classroom portion of this driving school. For the Behind The Wheel portion, I would give a negative 1 star if I could. After about 4 hours of behind the wheel training with her mother and father, it was time for my daughter's first official BTW training with Joyce's "instructor". I will not go into all of the gory details, but let me just say that this first experience left my 15 year old daughter standing in our driveway alone, in tears, as the driving instructor drove off. The instructor could not find my house to pick her up on time. When he did finally find the house, my daughter did not emerge immediately to jump into the car and go. This did not sit well with the instructor. He started by berating her for not watching for him to pull up and telling her that they were now running late. (He was late, NOT my daughter) The instructor then told her, "just drive, we need to get to Crystal Lake now!" Trying to break the tension, she asked him "how have you been?" to which he replied, "just back up the car and go, you do know how to get to Crystal Lake, don't you?" Of course she had a general idea, but no real instruction on which way to go. He did not allow her time to adjust mirrors, etc. The training car he showed up in has the gearshift selector on the floor and our family car has the gearshift on the steering column. My daughter then asked, "Where is the gear shift?" he then retorted "you have got to be kidding me, you don't even know where reverse is?!" Needless to say she found it, backed the car out and began to drive down the street. At this point she (being a nervous driver) was wholly unsure of what to do next. The instructor then told her to just stop the car. They had driven about a city block at this point. The instructor said that she needs to learn how to drive before taking a behind the wheel course with him, he does not feel safe. (apparently 4 hours with her mom and dad is not sufficient) She turned the car around and drove the 1 block back to our home, at this point on the verge of tears, feeling that she had let him down somehow. The gentleman instructor then told her that he cannot train her how to drive today because she is not a good enough driver. Isn't that HIS job?! I have driven with her for hours, she is fine. He then left her in the driveway, alone, crying. He did not even wait for her to be sure she could get back in the house, this is NOT cool. Needless to say, I am furious. After sending Joyce an e-mail laying out these issues, she refunded our tuition and said my daughter should find another driving school. No apology, no reason for the most unprofessional behavior by the instructor that I have ever heard of. Their website clearly states that after students complete the classroom portion of the school, they should sign up right away for the BTW instruction. They also say they are good with nervous or anxious drivers... this is absolutely not the case. Do yourselves a favor and find a proper driving school, with caring and patient instructors. After writing this, I'm going to go ahead and give it a negative 5 stars. Read Less
