We used KBees Driving School not too long ago for my daughter. I made this account to specifically write this review. I looked up many driving schools all around Mercer and Hunterdon counties to make sure I found a good and trustworthy driving school to take my child around for her 6 hours. I read mostly negative reviews online for KBees Driving School, but I decided to give them a chance due to Karens many years of experience. My daughters experience was absolutely awful with Karen. She is very rude and unprofessional, I even saw that when she spoke to me. According to my daughter, her car was extremely filthy and smelled like cigarettes. I even smelt the cigarette smell on her when she came into my house. I even smelt the cigarette smell on my daughters clothes when she'd come home from doing a lesson with Karen. My daughter would feel sick after coming home from doing her lesson because of the smell in Karen's car. My daughter said she played music the entire time they were driving, which I believe is unprofessional. Turn the music off, and focus on teaching this child, who has never been behind the wheel of a car, how to get comfortable using the gas, breaks, steering, etc. Don't blast music, don't play with your phone or iPad, and lastly, don't yell at my child. My daughter felt like she talked to her like she was stupid and annoying. She yelled at my child if my child made a mistake while driving, for example, driving too slow or driving too fast or not slowing down enough when making a turn. Say things nicely. I even felt like Karen talked down to me like I was an annoyance. I met you once, for all of 10 minutes, and you're talking down and yelling at my daughter? That's what really aggravates me. I get it 100% that a teenager driving for the first time is not gonna be good at those things, but have patience, if you don't, you're in the wrong field. The only reason I did not pull my child out of KBees Driving School after their first lesson is because we paid and I wanted my daughter to do the remaining hours and get it over with so she could get her permit and we didn't have to go through the drama of switching to another driving school. I will let everyone we know in the area who have teenage kids who are looking for a driving school to stay far away from this driving school and to not be fooled by her cheap prices and years of experience. She needs to work on her attitude and being more professional, if I can complain to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission about Karen I will. My daughter was upset to the point of crying when she got home from her first lesson with Karen and I'm absolutely disgusted and regret using KBees Driving School. Also, Karen took my child to run her personal errands and stop for food for herself. I read another review where someone said she does this. SO UNPROFESSIONAL. Don't use up the time I'm paying you to teach my daughter to go run your personal errands or stop and get yourself food if you forgot to eat breakfast. My child is your student not your personal driver. I talked to other parents about this who have used other driving schools and they were shocked and thought I was joking. Those 2 hours should be used to teach the child not used to do your personal errands. Schedule your personal errands around your job like everyone else does. No child needs to be sitting in the car or in the waiting room waiting for you for half an hour using up the time their parents paid you for to teach them to drive. I also feel like my daughter was not taught everything she should've been taught in those 6 hours we paid Karen for. Most likely due to the fact that they would make stops for Karen and time was used up. I highly suggest you do not use KBees Driving School.. Read Less
