Negative experience: The test they took me on was going good till we got to a stop sign, the stop sign was bent backwards at a 45 degree angle away from the car, the lines of the road were completely faded away. You couldn’t see this sign unless someone told you it was there. Terrible experience and waste of a drive. Would not recommend this location if you genuinely want to get a drivers license

Fantastic experience: Driving used to make me really anxious, so I put off driving much longer than the rest of my peers. Going into my first lesson with The Next Street, I was nervous that I would hit something, or that driving wasn’t fit for me. Thankfully, my driving instructor, Dan Peitler, was extremely supportive with me, and he was able to instantly calmed my nerves. He’s extremely patient, positive-minded, and he’s great at explaining the different driving procedures in ways that make sense. Thanks to Dan, I was able to get my license a couple of months ago. My brother currently going to the next street, and when asking about different instructors, Dan was the first person to come to mind! I highly recommend the next street for any driver of any age. And thank you so much for teaching me Dan! It meant the world to me!

Fantastic experience: We have used The Next Street driving school twice now to assist and prepare with teaching our 2 boys how to drive. Most recently, our youngest son, spent time on the road with instructors Daniel Peitler (final lesson) in Watertown and 3 lessons prior ( Jose DeGros) in Southington. Both instructors were so knowledgeable, patient and friendly. My son, Evan, truly enjoyed his experience with them both! Not only were they extremely personable, but truly seemed to love their jobs and took the time to really explain things so that the students they are teaching have all the information and tools to be careful and competent drivers behind the wheel! This was an all around good experience- Evan and I both feel he has been well prepared to take and pass his driving test next week! Thank you Dan and Jose!!

Fantastic experience: The next street driving school is amazing! Daniel Peitler (Watertown, CT) is very good! Dan helped my daughter with driving and teaching her to be safe on the road. My daughter just passed her driver's license and we have Daniel Peitler to thank. Always took his time to talk to us the parents before my daughter went out driving and when she returned. Dan always went above and beyond. Always asked if we had any questions no matter what the time was we could always email him. He was always available! My oldest son had Dan as well. Dan is the man!

Fantastic experience: I heard great things about Next Street in Watertown so my husband and I decided to sign my son up. He had a great experience so when it was my daughter’s turn we went through Next Street again. My daughter's driving lessons with Daniel Peitler I have to say she wasn’t nervous with him. He was very calm and explained things to her in a way she would understand. He answered all her questions and even all my questions. You can tell he was happy answering them. I reached out to Mr. Peitler to ask some more questions because I wanted to make sure I was teaching my daughter the right way how they taught. Again he was very happy to answer my questions. You can tell he is very passionate about his job! I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I give five stars. I had Daniel p as my instructor. I felt safe with him as my instructor, he also made the driving time feel as calm as possible by making me laugh telling jokes and when I made mistakes he was very patient and didn’t let me beat myself up he encouraged me to try again instead of getting upset that I messed up. I was terrified of driving and even going in the highway. I drove on the highway with him and it didn’t feel that scary at first I was still scared then he told me I was doing a great job and my condo grew making the ride easier. He was very friendly and very welcoming. He always stopped to say hello to my daughter and my mom when I got dropped off. My daughter liked when he said hi to her (you know the saying) “kids can read people” just saying.

Fantastic experience: My son Michael had a positive experience at the Next Street in Watertown. His instructor was Dan Peitler.

Fantastic experience: My son had his all-important review, driving lesson with Daniel Peitler. He arrived early and greeted us with a smile! He asked lots of questions about the types of practice my son had already and quickly nailed down a teaching plan for the lesson. At the end of the lesson he provided us with essential feedback, along with some concrete things to keep practicing. My son said he was amazing to have and wished he could have had him for more lessons. Daniel even gave him some license test taking tips to help manage his expectations (and nerves) for his test the following week — which he passed!! Thank you Daniel and thank you Next Street!

Negative experience: We did the online class and the first instructor was overbearing and making a number of jokes that only he found funny but it got the job done. We scheduled a practice driving exam and they assured me we could use our family car. When we showed up they insisted we had to use their car which is pointless as she would not be testing with their car and then told us they would charge us $175 anyway which I explained we would simply fight with the credit card company. I would avoid going here if you can.

Fantastic experience: Kevin made every class enjoyable. He was able to teach us everything we need to know while also making it super fun.
Fantastic experience: My experience at The Next Street was amazing, my teacher Kevin Wilson consistently made each and every class fun and memorable which lead to me being able to be able to learn all the material effectively!!
Fantastic experience: Kevin is the G.O.A.T. of driver’s ed!!! Not only did he come in and teach us every class about how to drive, but he also made sure we had fun and felt comfortable in our environment. He’s a great dude and a great teacher
Fantastic experience: Kevin Wilson changed my life for the better. Never in a million years would I think that there was a driver instructor like him. How would I describe Kevin? Man where do I begin. An angel sent from the heavens above, a saint, he is the man, the myth, the LEGEND. Taught me every necessary thing I need to know about driving and safety, it will be engraved in my brain till the day I die. Although I will continue to ride my bike on the highway with him on my mind. Long live King Kevin☝ <3
Fantastic experience: Kevin is probably the most influential teacher in my life right now. His driving tips as well as his tips for real life situations ensure that I will never feel unsafe in a car. If you need driving lessons and a good educational basis for acing your DMV test them I strongly suggest you go to The Next Street and request Kevin. He will change your life
Fantastic experience: The next street is the best driving school. My instructor was Kevin Willson. He always kept us engaged in learning our lesson that night and was very enthusiastic. He helped me out a lot and I recommend him to anyone! I want to thank Kevin and the next street for everything and I will miss him.
Fantastic experience: Kevin changed my life. He is so attentive, so knowledgeable with driving and he knows how to do his job so well. he’s great with teens and kids, and knows how to teach, how to talk to his students. if a student has a question, he is very fast to respond and will not let a student go unanswered. I will never forget this learning experience with Kevin, it truly made my driving 1000x better. He prepared me to do amazing and excell on my performance on the road; he isn’t just an ordinary instructor. He is amazing, and never fails to put a smile on my face and knowledge in my brain. <3
Fantastic experience: Kevin Wilson is the best instructor you could have. I’m so glad to go through this experience with him as a class and driving instructor. He’s a king and a g. He doesn’t like Drake but it’s fine cause we still sang Marvin’s Room together, I’m really gonna miss this dude<3
Fantastic experience: The class was great and Amazing. I had Kevin and he was pretty cool. He is funny and very informative! I learned so much from the class it was pretty great! If you don’t have a drivers school, you should try the next street. The people are so nice and great! Please give it a try! PLEASE!!
Fantastic experience: I was very pessimistic that this was going to be boring. But in the first class I was so happy. It is 100% worth the money. I had a lot of fun learning from Kevin. I highly recommended taking this if you go to drivers ed. Kevin is the best teacher.
Fantastic experience: My instructor Kevin was really helpful and enthusiastic. We never had a dull moment in class but we still learned everything that we needed to know in order to pass our drivers test. His attitude made us all look forward to class every Tuesday and Thursday. Hands down would recommend the Next Street Watertown to any new drivers.
Fantastic experience: I never thought Id enjoy next street so much. But Kevin Wilson made it so much fun and educational at the same time. He would teach us what we needed to know but include us in the conversation, he’d tell stories so we would understand what he was saying better. He made the class speak, and react which made the class much better. I learned so much and Watertown next street has helped me so much with my driving, i am so lucky to have taken it there. I highly recommend Watertown next street with Kevin. Ill miss this class almost ad much as ill miss kevin. Best class iv ever taken.
Fantastic experience: I took the accelerated class in Bristol with Pam Sorensen about two weeks ago and it was a great experience. I’m glad I got to complete drivers ed in the span of two weeks instead of a few months. She made the four hours a day enjoyable I feel better prepared for my test now.
Fantastic experience: I have Brandon Truesdale for my instructor, he makes the class really fun while also teaching the material really well. Best instructor there.
Fantastic experience: Class at Next Street has been a great experience. I feel as though I have learned much more about driving with Brandon than I would have if I had not taken this class.
Fantastic experience: Kevin Wilson was honestly an excellent instructor, and I had a fantastic experience here! I learned a lot about safe driving techniques and basic driving knowledge in general. Throughout this class, I quickly became very confident and much more skillful in my driving. Not to mention, Kevin made the classroom a very enjoyable, yet productive place to be in. I even managed to make plenty of friends along the way! Thank you for everything Kevin!!
Fantastic experience: Kevin Wilson is an excellent instructor and extremely helpful in regards to class. He teaches the class with clear instructions and strategies that allow us to be better drives on the road. Also, he has the ability to make the class enjoyable as well as educational. I recommend Mr. Wilson to anyone coming into The Next Street. If I could give more than 5/5, I would.
Fantastic experience: I had Kevin Wilson as an instructor and he made the whole process of drivers ed so much more fun, easier, and less stressful. He taught us everything we needed to know and prepared us for our license test and for future driving. I would definitely recommend The Next Street and Kevin for your drivers ed experience!
Fantastic experience: This was an amazing experience. The Next Street has such a positive nature and was so kind through my journey of obtaining my drivers licens. Pam Sorensen was my instructor and was an absolute joy to work with. I took the 30 hour excellerated class and it was worth every second of being there. I absolutely enjoyed my time here and thoroughly recommend taking drivers ed at The Next Street!
Fantastic experience: I am in the excelerated 30 hour class. There is a 8 hour class but the 30 hour class is much more useful. I am taking it in Bristol. The teacher is Pam Sorensen. She is a great teacher and the class is fun. It has very good information in it.
Fantastic experience: I took the accelerated course in Bristol with Pam Sorensen as my instructor, it was a simple class and taught me a lot that I hadn’t known previously. The class was quick and interesting, the videos showed real experiences and other informational videos. There are also interactive activities to help students learn the lessons in multiple ways.
Fantastic experience: I took the accelerated 30 hour class in Bristol with Pam Sorensen. The class taught me a lot and i feel prepared to get my lisence in November. Though you move fast with topics, Pam covers them well, just be sure to take good notes!!
Fantastic experience: I took the summer accelerated 2 week class in Bristol with Pam Sorensen. Other than taking 2 weeks from my summer break to sit in a classroom, it was really good. Some of the stuff I already knew but a lot of the stuff I was taught surprised me. I would defiantly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I took the accelerated course in New Milford with Pam Sorensen. I learned an incredible amount in two weeks-- the teaching environment and curriculum are amazing. This course has helped me to feel prepared for any situation I could face while driving, and it has also given me a fantastic foundation of safety precautions to always keep in mind. Pam kept students engaged and definitely taught us everything we need to know. I would feel safe driving alongside anyone who has taken this course!
Fantastic experience: I went to the accelerated class with Pam in New Milford. It was a very fun class and we learned a lot. Even though it was 4 hours a day it went by quick because it was so enjoyable. Pam is an excellent person and teacher!❤️
Fantastic experience: Its drivers ed, the material and methods of the class is exactly what you would expect. However, if it weren't for my teacher Pam, the class would have been way more boring, I mean usually it was still pretty boring but still... With fun stories, cheesy videos and actual interaction with the class, you won't just be lectured at for 4 hours. That isn't to say you are forced to do anything, if you want to sit in the back and do nothing thats fine, if you want to talk and maybe try to make the class go a little faster you can do that too. This class has a spot for everyone. 5/5 it was good.
Fantastic experience: The Next Street Drivers ed course with Bob Zaums at Nonnewaug High School was a great experience. He was really nice and was a very good teacher for the 30 hr course.
Fantastic experience: Kevin Wilson is the BEST Drivers Ed teacher. Made many friendships while learning all the important rules of the road! :)
Fantastic experience: Wow! Such a wonderful place to learn how to drive. My instructor was KEVIN WILSON and he was such a great driving instructor and teacher. I definitely recommend to go to him because he makes the information Rememberable and fun to learn. The next street is the place to go!!!
Fantastic experience: I took the class at Wolcott High and I had Pam. I didn’t understand why people didn’t like her or anything, she’s so sweet and she really does try to make you understand the material. It’s honestly so worth taking drivers ed at the next street because you learn so much. i’d recommend 10/10 every time. they really go out of their way to help.
