Official Driving School Royal Oak

Jonathan was a great intructor!! I used to be terrified of driving but he really helped me gain confidence and let go of that fear!! Would reccommend him 100 percent.

I loved Ms Duncan! She told great stories and I felt engaged in class even when it was online. I also loved driving with Ms Peplinski, she made me feel so comfortable when I was nervous behind the wheel

My experience with the classes are mostly great, except for being accused of being on my phone when in reality I was taking notes. Both of my 2 drivers were very very questionable. My first driver Johnathan was great, he explained things nicely and helped me learn, the only con was both times he was pretty late. My other driver Bessie Windham was a rude lady. She wouldn t explain things properly and wondered why I wasn t doing things perfectly, it s was only my 1st or 2nd ever so obviously I ll...
Read full review be doing things wrong. Instead of talking and communicating she would scream and both me and the others. During the drive we didn t do multiple things that s supposed to be doing on the drive like, complete U turns, driveway entering, approaching train crossings and off-road recovery. When talking about my experience with my fellow students, they all similar or even worse experiences with her, and they all have other drives with her and are scared of writing a review about it. My drive with Windham left me more confused then it did help me learn. Though official did do a good job at teaching in the classes they definitely need to work on the people they hire. If I could leave 0 stars on Bessie I would.

My son just completed Segment 1 here. They made the entire process effortless. Classes and behind the wheel times were convenient, we were able to find times that worked well for our busy schedule. My son is doing so well driving. I m amazed to see him behind that wheel. The education/lessons that he received here makes me more comfortable to allow him to drive. I notice myself sitting in the passenger seat feeling confident in him as he continues to learn and get his behind the wheel...
Read full review hours with me. We are both looking forward to Segment 2 in a few more months. Debra Urben was the instructor for most of my son s lessons. She worked well with him, always provided notes on the evaluation after each lesson, which allowed us to understand areas of strength and what needed improvement. I m sure all the other instructors are great as well, but I definitely wanted to shout her out. Thank you

I was in a makeup class with bethany and she gave me warnings for my face not being in the camera how she wanted it but there were other students a different color that heads werent even in the camera. The driving instructors that i drove with was rude and bossy Bessie and Pam. Bessie was yelling at me while i was driving and Pam made rude comments, both not good instructors. Tammy was my last drive and she was so sweet, unlike the others. I would not want to recommend this school to ANYONE.

I was hesitant at first to use Official being a new company around here, but Im sure glad we did. I couldnt be happier with the experience! The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and always ready to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend Official Driving School to anyone looking to learn to drive safely and efficiently.

The Official Driving School is a very good drivers training experience! Jonathan Mattia is my driving instructor for all of my in-car lessons, and he has been very helpful and calm in teaching me the ins and outs of driving. 5 out of 5 would recommend!

Not a five star and I will explain why. This is the 2nd time we had a teen go through the program and there are certain things we learned and it made our second round much better. We made sure to do our due diligence on teachers before the drives and I m really glad we did! We were able to get Mr. Tyler for all drives, but one! Our daughter liked him very much. He was very punctual, courteous, easy to understand, and made sure the evaluations were completed immediately after all drives. On her last...
Read full review drive, she had a teacher who grabbed her wheel a lot, didn t go on the highway, was very rude, and then finished 12 minutes early. This teacher also was talking badly about another teacher, which we felt was very unprofessional. We are still waiting on the certificate so we can go to SOS for her permit and we were told 3-5 business days because they were very busy and behind in getting them out. Overall, our daughter s experience was very good, and we believe it all was due to her teacher, Mr. Tyler. He s pretty amazing and we hope everyone gets to experience him as a teacher!!

Our experience at the Official Driving School was positive all around! Great people I learned to trust to share this moment with my student. The time and effort and patience you showed her was felt. Thank you all for making this a great experience for her!!

Jessica G/Alex M/ 12/30/2022- Alex made me feel very comfortable and able to open up. It was easy while also fun to learn and she helped me learn fast and well. It was a friendly and open environment. She let me talk about anything whether it was about my day or more personal and she listened. I m really happy that she was my instructor for most of my drives. She showed a lot of care for me and let me talk and get everything I needed off my chest and just lay it on her. I will stay in touch with her!
