Worst driving school ever I paid 200 for a 3 2hr sessions and waited 3 weeks just to get a call to start and after I scheduled my first one she canceled then reschedule for second one she cancel then when I finally got to start she talked the whole time About other students and her kids and how much she hated her job then I waited to 2 to 3 weeks to schedule for my second one and she told me 9 AM on a Sunday morning I waited she never showed up I called at 9:01 never got a ca...ll back never return my call so about three days after I call the office and ask could I have a refund on or something because it's terrible how I waited this long to start and everything and she just doesn't care. Then she calls yelling and telling lies how I never showed up she called and talk to me the next day said I miss the class which she never did and that i only want to cancel because I'm probably a better driver now because of her and continue to argue and asked to talk to the owner of the place she said that she couldn't give out his number and I talk to the other instructor and he gave it to me I call the number several times left a voicemail never got a call back went to the driving school talk to one of The instructors they said they will leave a note for him and he would give us a call on today's date is July 11,2016 I received a letter in the mail saying I owe them $65 signed by the owner who I have tried to contact and never got in touch with and never got a call from. All I wanted was a different instructor and to finish my last 2 sessions See More

Our daughter went to this school also, and was treated very poorly there by some of the teachers also. One of the teachers also told her on one occassion she would never pass her drivers test and that she was kind of dumb! I agree with the other two people that this school is very unperfessionally ran and I agree that they are over priced. This school in my opinion should be shut down or looked into on how they treat their students which are our children. We pay them to teach our children not to tear them down emoitionally! I am gald to see other people speak out against this school. Parents should be ware PLEASE! And for the record my daughter passed her written the first time and got her license the first time as well and I guess she's not so dumb after all ha Essee teachers!! Would not send my child to this school.

My child took drivers ed/behind the wheel here at ESSE Driving school in Chanhassen MN. It was from the start a nightmare of an experience for our child and our family to say the least....first of all it was winter time and they had almost no heat in the place and the kids we're all cold and wearing gloves and jackets in the place and some had blankets with them to stay warm. They are very overpriced to begin with and not to have heat for the students and what they are paying them to learn was REDICULOUS!!! When this was brought to their attention from several of us parents to turn the heat up the owner got mad and seemed to be offended and he realized the school was to cold for the students to sit for several hours through the driving school but did nothing to fix the situation as students also got sick! Teachers also unperfessional!

My son went to this school and he did not learn anything from this school, the teachers we're very ruud to the students and he said they we're on there own alot while the woman teacher spent alot of time on the phone. Leaving the students to learn on there own- well what do we pay them for. After reviewing other schools in the area I discovered they are very overpriced for also what they teach you there, or should I say not teach you! My son had to retake the drivers school again somewhere else to learn what he needed to learn to pass his road exam. I would say they are very overpriced and teach you nothing, I would not tell anyone to go to this school!! Unless you want to get ripped off and learn nothing, be smart and look around I wish we would of done that first before we sent our son there.
