My daughter took some classes with dora and some with herma and told me how cruel and rude herma was. She was very disrespectful to my child. I highly recommend trying to get classes with Dora because she is much nicer and a better teacher.

Made a bad decision and chose McGuire over Schwartz based on the proximity to my house. I really wish I could tell you that my daughter had a good experience here but I can't. Honestly, it was awful. To start with, the owner, Herma, called both my cell phone and my daughters EVERY SINGLE DAY to remind us about class that evening. Even after I told her that we were aware of the schedule and it was unnecessary to call, she still called and I eventually just had to block the number. Scheduling in cars was a huge hassle and it took months to finish them. The whole process was very unorganized and honestly, very unprofessional. One of the driving instructors was on their cell phone for 1/2 of a session and my daughter finished feeling like she didn't really learn anything. We got the certificate but I don't feel like we got our money's worth. In retrospect I should've stuck with Schwartz.

Very disrespectful to bikers on the road. Was riding my bicycle through the neighborhood and had them blare their horn. Though they had ample space to pass. In addition, they were going much faster then the posted speed limit of 25 mph. Not someone i want to teach my kids.

My daughter loved the teaching staff, she came home with great stories that kept it fun but educational for the kids. Its hard to get this generation to actually listen but they did. I have been telling her basically the same messages she heard there, but for some reason....now she seems ti be the teacher in the car!😊 I was hesitant when I saw some of the reviews above. I am glad we chose Grovecity's McGuire Acadamy. Maybe there is a different location that is struggling or they also listen to reviews and have made great improvements! Either way...5 stars!!!!

Just called to ask about the school. I read several reviews about people being dissatisfied that they were pushed off on the behind the wheel portion. I spoke with the owner to get a feel for how quickly they would be able to schedule behind the wheel and mentioned the reviews. He said they had to let some people go and it was a few months ago which is why they have the reviews. I asked hypothetically if my child completed the course, how quickly would we be able to get an appointment, he looked at his calendar and asked when we wanted to schedule it. I told him that we weren't ready and I just wanted an idea of what could be done (I wanted to be sure I wasn't getting a "tap dance" before paying the money). He seemed confused by this. I was getting ready to commit and asked him what the fee was for the course - he said he thought we were enrolled. I responded that we were calling around to see what would work best. He told me to get back to him after I call around and hung up on me - without telling me what it would cost. What a jerk. Not the only school in town and definitely helped me make the decision to go to Schwartz! If you are looking for professionalism and customer service from McGuire, forget it!

This is a great school owners really care about putting knowledgeable & aware drivers on the road. I went to Schwartz Driving Academy back in 13' and I didn't learn anything goofed off most of the time with classmates owners didn't care teachers didn't care. I see bad reviews on here for parents who wanted to have those kids get a licensed asap putting new young ill experience drivers on the road is why we have the highest death rate in motor vehicle crashes, homicide etc don't rush to learn something important. Overall great school up to date on laws, and nice people intelligent folks.

When I signed my daughter up with these people, they assured me she would be able to complete her in class & in cars with a few weeks. She completed her in class sessions within about 10 days, but now is being totally put off regarding scheduling her in cars. Looks like its going to be A FEW MONTHS before that happens. Herma was more than happy to tout the fact that the state gives the school SIX MONTHS to string people along! They'll tell you whatever you want to hear to get your registration fees, then the story changes. WISH NEGATIVE STARTS WERE AN OPTION!!!
