I found Love Driving School and Mr. Durant, the highly competent, kind, and endlessly patient instructor after doing extensive research on the various schools around Boston and su...

Worst

I took nine hours of driving with Durant, having never driven before. I gained some confidence driving but I never learned any techniques from him. He doesn't answer any questions...

Great instructor and best services!! 6/15/2008

I highly recommend Love Driving school. Duran is a professional instructor. From him, I have learned many rules of the road. Duran is always on time. If he is being late because of traffic, he will give you a call. He will pick you up at your home and also drop you off back at home. Price is reasonable when compared with other driving schools or gas-price situation. In addition; I just passed the road test :-)\r Thank you Duran! Pros: Great instructor and always on time more

Excellent! Highly Recommended! 6/15/2008

Durant is an excellent driving teacher -- knowledgeable, friendly, encouraging, and always professional. And, his instruction works: I just passed my driving test a few days ago! I chose his school after reading all the excellent reviews online, which showed him to be -- by far -- the best rated driving instructor in Cambridge. I definitely agree with all those positive reviews! \r \r more

Best teacher ever! 6/6/2008

I just got my license today! Dorant is excellent and unbeatable - his instructions are always accurate and constructive...he's very observant, and pointed out my mistakes promptly when I made them...and super accurately! I would have to say that if you follow what Dorant tells you to do there's no way you can fail the test...he would teach you step by step, and you just have to remember and do them. And one more thing - he's very punctual - and I mean it. He's always well ahead of time..so you would never lose your bucks. He's also very organized and he would notify you well in advance if there's any schedule change. I really like it. In fact I first chose Dorant because of the good comments online. I confirmed it now and would recommend him to anyone who wants to get a license! more

Love all the way ...........!!!! 6/6/2008

Love all the way .......... thats what i got to say for this Driving school ........Durant is a very good teacher with a lot of patience, he handles every student in a very adept manner. After the first class with Durant i never looked back on the decision of joining this school ... believe me people, he is the BEST. His communication skills are highly commendable , he speaks 2 or 3 languages and i bet he would succeed if he started a school for teaching languages.....Durant is very flexible with timings......and he is a very prompt person.. who would be there at your door step 5 minutes before the mentioned time.........The charges are nominal/economical is should say when compared with the other driving schools......I learnt a lot from this gentleman....All i could say is Kudos to Love and Kudos to Durant .........thank you very much Durant........ Pros: U'll like the total experience of driving ....in and out........ Cons: None whatsoever more

Excellent driving school 5/21/2008

I signed up for lessons with Love Driving School because it had the best online reviews, and the reviews did not lie. Durant is an excellent instructor; he knows what he is talking about, is patient with students, and is very experienced, having owned this business for at least a decade. On top of all this, he is a genuinely nice man with an adorable Caribbean accent. I originally got my license as a teenager, but disliked driving so much I had avoided it for years. After 12 lessons with Durant, I not only feel much more confident about driving, but have actually begun to enjoy it. For all these reasons, I certainly recommend Love Driving School. more

reliable, competent and friedly 4/3/2008

great driving school -- patient instructor who knew what he was doing and communicated with me effectively. very friendly, Good English! more

Best driving school!! Highly recommended!! 2/21/2008

I really have to agree with the other reviewers here. It was my first time to learn how to drive and I was very anxious about it. But no matter which stage of driving you are in, Durant is the best teacher to learn from!! He was patient, worked his mind to help me learn faster, and easily adjusted his teaching to my level of driving. Besides that, what I liked about him is his sense of humor; he uses humor to create a friendly, relaxing, and supporting environment, and learn effectively too!! He is always on time and if he is he let's you know in advance. If I made an appointment to drive for two hours, I learn and practice for a full two hours and sometimes I felt I got more than I asked!! He never wastes your time like some other schools do. Thanks to him, I successfully passed the road test at my first try. \r There seems like there is a confusion here about Friendship driving school. Yes, on Saturday, you have to drive a car from Friendship Driving school. However, it is the SAME type of car you used when practicing with Durant. So no need to worry.\r Pros: great instructor, flexible time scheduling. Cons: From my experience, none. more

Good service~! 1/8/2008

Love driving school was very helpful for me!\r I never had any driving experience before, and when I started the education, Durant taught me a lot of helpful information.\r \r I was able to pass the driving exam by just 1st time!\r \r I noticed that he does great job in teaching each individual student with his/her suitable way of driving!\r \r If you were to take a driving education, I highly recommand you to go to Love Driving School! more

Highly recommended 12/13/2007

Three weeks ago I started to take driving lessons (3-4 hours per week), and today I passed my road test - at the first try! The instructor is very friendly, professional and unbelievably patient. He easily adjusts to your pace of learning, and prepares very good both for the test and safe driving. The instructions are very clear, and Durant is always willing to explain rules that may look confusing. The rates are reasonable - no hidden charges or tricks. A great school for those who value their time: the lessons begin on time, and Durant always calls you in advance in those rare situations when he is 5 minutes late. The schedule is very flexible - you can take driving lessons any day except Sunday. As for the road tests, Love School arranges them from Monday to Friday only. However, they are in partnership with Friendship Driving School; if you want to take the road test on Saturday, they can arrange it on Friendship School's car.\r more

Is it about Love Driving School or Friendship Auto School?? 9/17/2007

I am confused by some users' reviews posted here. They mentioned using the cars from ""Friendship Auto School"" for the road test while it should be is a review about the ""Love Driving School"". more

Top Notch Driving Instruction 6/30/2007

Excellent instructor. Firm but very fair. Combined both test preperation and general road safety in an exceptionally effective manner. I studied intensively for one week and not only passed the test but more importantly became a safe and confident driver. Driving is an important skill to master and I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr Durant from the Love Driving School to all those serious about acquiring the skills and mental model neccesary to drive well. Pros: Very knowledgeable instructor who taught firmly - but with humour and warmth. Cons: None that I could identify. more

Good Driving School 5/18/2007

Key Points: Patient Instructor, Convenient Timing (6 days a week spanning 12hr days), Strict Driving Rules (prepares very well for the exam), and Good Driving Strategies (tips on parking, etc.)\r \r Overall: Highly Recommended\r \r more

Great Driving School....Worth the Money 5/14/2007

I had heard about this driving school from a friend. I signed up for a few driving classes, just to refresh my memory since I had driving experience in India. I was treated very well and taught about the rules in a precise manner, not just for the test, but for safe driving in the US. The lessons were broken down well and the instructor taught for the entire one hour. If he was going to be late, he would call and inform me about it. And the one hour began from the time I started driving. The road test charges are expensive, and you have to ask for exact details about what car you will be driving (it is possible you will not be driving the same car you have been practicing on so you have to be comfortable with that idea) but the tips I learnt helped me drive the car I used for my road test as well (which was the Friendship Driving School car). I have not taken driving classes with any other school so I cannot provide a comparison, but my experience with this school has been pleasant and informative. Pros: good instruction, flexible timings Cons: expensive road test fees more

it is really worth 4/25/2007

I am go glad that I took classes in that school. Being an experienced driver in another country, I really did not believe that I need any teaching and I was planning to go directly to the exam with a friend. Unfortunately, or actually fortunately, my friend couldn't make it and since my exam was already scheduled, I had very few options. \r \r In the very last moment I called Love Driving School to take a lesson and ask to be accompanied to the exam and I am so glad that I did. I realized that there are a few small, but imprortant things that I would have never known ( and also bad habbits). The instructor was very thorough and made sure that I know ALL that is needed not only for the exam but also for safe driving in US. Needless to say, I passed the exam without problem. It is true that driving classes cost money, but ,look, your life and also the life of your beloved ones will depend on your driving, so why not invest a little and make sure you know what you are doing. \r \r Last but not least, the instructor is a nice and responsible person, who does his job with all his heart. more

Good instructor but ask for details for the price 11/13/2005

The instruction was good and the classes flexible. Sometimes, it was very annoying to have him give you confusing directions. I found them $5/hr cheaper. But what I saved in classes, I paid for the test. Also, he does not give you enough details, so keep asking about what you are paying for. I failed the test the first time because I used a car that I had never used from Friendship Driving school--this was not revealed to me till the day of the test. And when I specifically did not use my friend's car as I wanted a car that I was comfortable with. So make this clear from the beginning. Pros: Cheaper, Flexible hours Cons: Expensive for test, Not clear as to what, you pay for more
