Today I passed my road test because of the instructor John. He was great ,he made me feel completely comfortable behind the wheel. I definitely would recommend John to anyone taking the road test. When you practice driving for your road test it is a lot of pressure and very scary but with John he was patient and explained thoroughly the steps I had to take when driving. He taught me a lot of important information about driving and gave me some great tips that’s made passing my road test and driving in general easier .

My experience with South Shore Driving School was a 10/10! I easily completed my 5-hour class online with no hassle. I picked up my certificate and paid $50. Later on, I scheduled my road test and figured I should go through the same school to help me obtain my drivers license. My instructor's name is John. He was phenomenal! He taught me everything about driving within three to four lessons and helped me perfect my parallel parking and K-turns. He is patient, understanding, and a great teacher. He walked me through all parts of a road test as we practiced and consistently displayed his passion for the job that he does. John will believe in you even if you don't believe in yourself. I highly recommend requesting John if possible! I paid $50 for each lesson (each were fifty minutes) I took. And I paid $130 on the day of my road test, this included the driving school's car and a 1-hour lesson before my test time. By the way. I passed my road test!

My son had his road test and an hour lesson scheduled with John this morning. He was so worried but John put his mind at ease and calmed him down and my son passed. Thank you John! You are awesome! Hope you're available in 4 years for my other son.
