Gordy knows the important and tricky things that fail many people and helped me pass the road test. Would give him 5 stars if he had not been late for an hour. Recommended, but be careful if you have a tight schedule. Read Less

Worse experience ever!!! Ken is unorganized and unprofessional. He scheduled me wrong TWO times for days I did not confirm. Not only did he waste my time from work to take a call from his instructor THAT WAS TEXTING ME INFRONT OF MY HOUSE WAITING FOR 15 MINS -- I showed Ken screenshots of our convos that clearly those were not the dates I agreed on, and still I never recieved an apology. I just texted Ken today asking next avaliable dates and he told me I should find another school!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! I wonder what his response back will be to my review. Prepare for the lies and fake sympathetic play. Anyone who wants to see our convos can message me for proof. Please take blame when it's your fault and don't be bitter when you are getting advice to better your company! Aside from the negative, i am going to say I did have a good experience with my first and only lesson from Gordy. He was awesome. Great sport and knew how to calm my nerves. Gordy was also kind enough to give me an extra hour lesson free! Don't be discouraged to try out kens driving, just ask Gordy to be your instructor.!!! Yay. Read Less

Before Ken’s driving school, I had the misfortune of getting trained by a different driving instructor (different driving school in Minneapolis) who not only dented my confidence but also inhibited my natural driving/steering style. (‘Your hand should not touch the lower part of steering wheel !’ and ‘There! You just failed!’ and so on) Not so with Gordon. Not only was Gordon quick to detect and further develop my driving abilities, he structured the lessons in a manner which suited my natural driving abilities. How? I have never driven in America and most of my experience has been on driving in foreign countries on the other side of the road. Gordon recognized and worked with this (vis-à-vis ‘against this’) and provided foundational insights to help me align to right side of the road. In fact, he went a step further and allowed me to drive on the freeway in the second hour of our lesson, itself. This was a great morale booster. While it took multiple tries to get my parking correct, he never had a discouraging word. He was extremely patient. At the day of the test, while we worked on the parking, I had all but given up. In fact I was planning to set follow on lessons (since I was surely going to fail this one!) but Gordon insisted that I was going to pass the test. Thanks to Gordon (and Mr. Ken) I undertook the test and passed it on my first try! They say that there is a difference between an instructor and an educator. Instructor merely teaches from prescribed text, but an educator encourages and helps you gain an insight into the field of study. Gordon is and always will be an educator. Thank you , Mr. Gordon ! Thank you, Mr. Ken for accommodating me in your BTW training schedule. Read Less

Ken is an awesome teacher with a great deal of patience. I passed my test with a score of 93. His parallel  nd perpendicular parking tips were great and definitely helped me in the test. I would definitely recommend this school. Best rates available out there! Read Less

I took 6 hours training and passed my road test the first time in Eagan. Thanks to Ken's training. We practiced one way street in st paul , practiced parking every time and some uncontrolled intersection before the road test. I feel really relax and comfortable when driving with Ken and his car is easy to control and park. He is good instructor with a sense of humor. The best thing is I passed!! Will recommend his driving school. Read Less

I just took my test in Feb 8 2016 after 2hour practice and 1hour right before the test( both 2 times we drove around dmv in Hasting) and passed at the first time with score 91/100 at DMV Hasting. Ken is a very patient and good instructor, he knows how to make everything easier like the tips in parallel parking, backing up. I live in Cottage Grove and he always picks me up for free :). Also my schedule is very flexible and I have to leave to another state soon ,I asked him to change my test appointment many time to make it works and every single time he always willings to do it for me. Thanks you so much Ken!Plus: very good price compare to other driving schools Read Less

I passed my road test yesterday, and the experience I gained from this driving school is just amazing. There are two instructors, Ken and Gordy, and they really know how to teach people how to drive. I took about 7 hours of classes while paying only around 6 hours fee which tells how flexible they are and how they care about students. I was able to ace on parallel and 90 degree parking due to how they teach. I strongly recommend this driving school since it is cheap compared to other driving school, and also make you feel very patient when driving for the first time. Read Less

I just passed my road test weeks ago. I have my driver's license in China and practice 4 hours before my road test. Based on my experience, Ken is really a good coach. He is humorous, patient and really helpful! He tells funny stories to let you relax and notices you when you forget some necessary steps. He also  teach you the simple ways to do the parallel parking and 90-degree parking and they work really well! He will let you feel pleasant while taking the lesson. Strongly recommend! Read Less
