I could not have been more pleased with my experience with the Hampton roads driving school. I went there not knowing what to expect, only that I wanted to get my drivers license. The instructor Mrs. Parker did an extremely wonderful job teaching the information and had great stories to tell which really helped grasp the information. I have a learning disability and I'm not the fastest reader or best comprehender. However, how the information is taught is very conducive as it is not strictly textbook work. I also enjoyed my behind the wheel experience as I learned a lot of things that I looked over before. I thoroughly recommend this place to you or your child because the instructors Mr. and Mrs. Parker are experts in what they do, and are aimed to get you your license or permit. Read Less

Learning to drive was never easy for me. I first began trying to drive at the age of 16 in Louisiana and for sometime things were going good and I was excited about learning but,it was when I wasn't driving that made me the most nervous because I had been involved in several accidents where I can honestly say weren't our fault but,the overall shock of having so many accidents started to give me anxiety and I didn't want to continue to learn, being on the roads just scared me and my lessons started to be few and far in between. This lasted until I was about 19. I didn't try driving again until I moved to St.Louis with my sister and I had maybe one or two lessons with her that started to relax me again about driving until one day once again I was not driving my sister and I were involved in an accident and my anxiety came right back and I told myself that I didn't want to drive ever again. Flash forward to me moving here to Virginia in 2015 with my boyfriend at the age of 25.I still haven't drove in awhile until my boyfriend started to talk me into trying again,and being in a new place I gave it a try and I was doing good,at least I thought until he started yelling at me over every mistake I made. This caused us to argue and I began to get really discouraged and I felt like I would never learn how to drive and my boyfriend had given up since I couldnt take his yelling. I was really depressed because this is something i have wanted for so long so one day I decided to look up driving schools and found this one and read the reviews on Roxanne and said I would give it one last try and I can't express how happy I am that I did. I started my lessons with Roxanne in Feb 2017 and her level of understanding,compassion,and patience can not be matched by anyone in my opinion. From the very first day, she took the time to understand me and why I had this major anxiety of driving and she used that to help me get comfortable with the roads. She never once raised her voice or yelled at me which is something I had experienced with my boyfriend. She made sure I understood why she was telling me certain things and made sure that I was able to execute every turn,and stop better each time she would instruct me to do so. She definitely help me multi task which I thought was impossible for me especially with my level of anxiety. I had a big fear of driving on the interstate and with no mention of it at all she had me on the interstate with the higher speed and I was driving like I had been doing it for years. I was so relaxed and didn't have the slightest bit of aniexty what so ever!! I have taken two different cousres with Roxanne and I can honestly say that she is a blessing to me,because of her i am more ready than i have ever been to take the real test. If I had not read the reviews on her I honestly think that at the age of 27 I still don't think I would be driving ever again. She is an AMAZING teacher and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn how to drive. She is truly great at her job!!!! Thank you so much Roxanna for all of your help,understanding and being patient with me!!!! Read Less

My daughter had severe anxiety about driving on main roads. We practiced in parking lots for a few months, but the thought of driving on real roads terrified her and caused anxiety attacks. Both of my other children had taken Behind The Wheel through Hampton Roads Driving School, so I called them and asked for their advice. They recommended a private lesson. We were blessed to have Roxanne as her instructor. Roxanne was the perfect mix of understanding, compassion, and encouragement. We signed up for two more classes and by the end of the third class, my daughter was driving on secondary roads...and couldn't wait to show off her new skills and drives whenever she can. She went from being frightened at the thought of driving, to being thrilled. A big thank you to Roxanne! We'll be seeing you for Behind The Wheel. Read Less

Words cannot express how grateful I am for my instructor, Roxanne. I'm almost 30 years old, have severe anxiety in the car, morning sickness from pregnancy, and felt like all odds were against me for years of trying to drive. We had a heart to heart about my problems and issues with driving and she let me know who she was and what to expect. She took me as far as I was comfortable and then nudged a bit and I adjusted. Roxanne talked and kept my mind occupied, which helped me ...pay more attention and multitask- something I didn't think I could do. She never yelled or raised her voice, but would explain to me my mistake and remind me when she saw me about to make one. She was calm, which helped me stay calm. As my last lesson was today, I can truly say that I am more comfortable driving and feel a sense of relief that my anxiety has lessened. I feel as if I was driving with a trusted friend. This short amount of time I spent with Roxanne, is a huge confidence booster that will last a life time. Thank you for everything, Hampton Roads Driving School! See More Read Less

The class was very informative and professional and the instructor HB Parker was very thorough yet not boring. His humor made learning easy and spoke to all learning styles. I left the class with conviction and will share the information that I saw from the various videos with my family. I have a new prospective on driving. Great class, the instructor made it fun, and time flew by. You will like Hampton Roads Driving School. Chances are you will not have to return to this class based on the positive impact it may have on you!!! There is my 2cents!!! Read Less

Informative and entertaining. The food selection included coffee,water, soda, doughnut selection, bananas, oranges, muffins and more. He even brought out Snickers Ice cream bars in the afternoon. ... It was one of the best classes I have ever taken on a typically boring subject. See More Read Less
