If you happen to be in the Cambridge, MA area and feel driving is not for you,\r
I urge to call Durant at 617-908-6192.\r
\r
I had attempted the road tests previously during\r
my college days, almost 5 yrs ago and did not make\r
it. Subsequently I had resigned to the belief that\r
driving is not for me, until I decided to give it another\r
try recently. \r
\r
I was searching for driving schools in the Cambridge area\r
and heard about Durant and Love driving school. All I can \r
say is that every accolade he has received on this \r
web site is absolutely true. He is a truly gifted instructor ---\r
extremely patient but knows when to challenge the student when\r
required. \r
\r
\r
I took 10 lessons from him. I only had a month left before leaving\r
Massachusetts, so I had to book my lessons in batch. I had to be\r
very quick in booking his lessons as the slots get filled up\r
very quickly. Perhaps there are many people like me out there :)\r
\r
Durant unfortunately cannot help you much if you are late in signing up.\r
He is always on time (even 5 mins earlier) and even accommodated some of my requests\r
to change lessons whenever possible. Now that I think about it, he is probably under so much pressure, since\r
he is a single person managing the whole driving school. But he was always \r
cheerful with me and spent minimal time over phone. \r
\r
Durant taught me all the tasks I needed for the test in the first five\r
lessons. We were really starting from scratch. \r
The remaining 5 lessons were used to refine these tasks so that I could perform\r
these tasks smoothly during the test. Despite all his help, I was totally\r
nervous on the day of the road test and was even hesitant to take the test.\r
Durant let me make my own decision, although in retrospect it would have\r
cost him time as he had reserved that slot for me. Nevertheless he appreciated it when I decided to take the test and was very proud of me when finally I passed!!!
Pros: Extremely gifted instructor, punctual, friendly
Cons: hard to find slots if you do not plan ahead
